Michelle Buteau Slams Dave Chappelle’s ‘Dangerous’ Anti-Trans Jokes: ‘Doesn’t Feel Funny’


Michelle Buteau said Dave Chappelle's anti-trans jokes don't 'feel funny' and actually 'disparage an entire community.'

Michelle Buteau knows a thing or two about telling jokes about marginalized people without offending “a whole community.” Dave Chappelle, on the other hand, not so much. During her Michelle Buteau: A Buteau-ful Mind at Radio City Music Hall Netflix special that premiered Tuesday, the comedian came for Chappelle and his penchant for unfunny, targeted jokes about trans people. Buteau reflected on the joke in a new interview with USA Today published Tuesday as the special went live on Netflix.
