Yeah it was not as funny as other specials but I don't think it was intended to be as funny. He was clearly hurt speaking, especially towards the end and it was maddening going on social nedia afterwards and seeing all the outrage whoch showed they did not listen to a word he said. They literally proved his point by repeating the same rhetoric.
Love the man, hope he is happy and doesn't get in a dark place again. He makes jokes but you can see he is really hurt when he speaks sometimes.

The story of Daphne Dorman, a trans woman who defended Chappelle online after the backlash to Sticks and Stones, ends with her being dragged on Twitter and her death by suicide. (Though Chappelle acknowledges that he doesn’t know what else was happening in her life, he insinuates a connection. “I bet dragging her didn’t help,” he says.) The special ends with Chappelle saying that Dorman was part of the same minority group as him: “my people”—comedians. He’s had enough of the “punching down.”
The story of Dorman, as presented in The Closer, is a brutal indictment of social-justice activism on the internet. If Chappelle’s comedy is “dangerous” because it could lead to real-world harm, then what the hell is the word for what happened to Dorman?
