Chappelle's Show

I just reviewed the two season DVDs, in anticipation of the third season (alas postponed), and I have concluded that this is the funniest show on TV in a long time. Yes it's a little too edgy and risqué for some people, but those aren't the people who I give a >bleep!< about anyway.

It's not just Dave who does it all; he has a great cast around him (Ashy Larry may be one of my favorites), gets major names to drop in (Anthony Anderson, Mos Def, Wyclef Jean) and to stay (Charlie Murphy), and his longer-serving characters are no less valid than the fresh ones (Tyrone the crack addict).

It is not for the uptight; it is not for the close-minded. What he pokes fun at is stereotypes, and that's a taboo for many people today. The barriers that political correctness attempted to break down over the last 15 years is exposed by Chappelle in 24 episodes, showing the truth behind the masks that we all wear. Those of us strong enough to handle it find him refreshing and downright hilarious. Those who don't will face the consequences as they manifest themselves in myriad other, humorless ways.

Dave Chapelle is one of the funniest men alive. He's no George Carlin or Richard Pryor but they've had years to show their genius. Chapelle makes racist jokes but no group is exempt, everyone is a target, so for white people claiming he is racist he takes a lot of shots at black people too. This show is hilarious, It reminds me of Richard Pryor's short lived show, he manages to slip little things under the radar, and he is unapologetic about it, which makes it better. Charlie Murphy has proven that he is the funny Murphy, he's capitalizing on what Eddie once was, I see Charlie becoming just as famous if not more than his brother, Eddie edge has plummeted in the last couple years. Keep this show on Comedy Central

Chappelle's show is a sketch-comedy show starring if course, Dave Chappelle. He also performs a stand-up routine as he shows you the clips and usually ends with a popular musical act. This is absolutely one of the funniest shows in the history of television! I've never laughed out loud so much at one show in my entire life! It's just a shame it only went two seasons because Dave lost his mind for a little while after Season 2 and didn't want to return for another season even though they offered him record amount of money at the time. This show debuted almost 20 years and it's just as funny today as it was then. Not many shows hold up after 20yrs but this is absolutely one of them. It's one of the best comedies of all-time!

What can I say about this show, but AWESOME! I love Chappelle's Show. The skits are absolutely hilarious. Just in case you haven't seen it, some of the best skits you want to look out for are "What would happen in Black People got their reparations", "The Car Commercial", "Wrap It Up", "UPN", and tons more. I can't wait until this series comes out on DVD.

Charlie Murphy narrating his time with Rick James, never laughed so much
