The post John Mulaney Surprised His Audience With Transphobe Dave Chappelle & They’re Rightfully Pissed appeared first on PEDESTRIAN.TV .

. Stop convincing straight cis men that they’re funny challenge! Despite being the internet’s favourite white guy during the peak of Tumblr, Mulaney has had many a stumble. His messy public breakup with and subsequent pregnancy with definitely dampened the clouds hanging over his image.
