"He is still funny but professionally so."

@LeratoN_ challenged:

"Duks let's not lie, the man fell off. Name one joke in the last stand-up special that had you laughing like the people laughing in this video?"

@Mthokojose argued:

"He still is for me. He is one of the best comedians in the world."

@bigboy_motha said:

"Until he became Covid19 ambassador and friend of Ramapostponer."

@Vhamusanda1 explained:

"He has adapted to an international audience. The kind of jokes you tell to Americans or in the UK won't be funny to Soweto people. Vice versa. He just needs to change into different modes based on the audience."
