MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

grantss Brilliant, clever, irreverent, incendiary, thought-provoking, comedy.A show full of skits and stand-up, hosted by and starring Dave Chappelle. The skits are incredibly original, intelligent, left-field and funny, often covering topical issues like race relations, drugs, personal relationships, Prince and Rick James... Very edgy, and clearly for the open-minded. If you're a bigot and/or easily offended, best to not watch it...Pick of the skits, for me, would be from S1 E1 - Clayton Bigsby, the black White Supremacist. He's blind... Not only funny but also shows the irrationality and absurdity of racism.

crooky-3 As shows like Mad TV and Mind of Mencia finally see their ends, one must look back on Chappelle's Show and wonder what comedy television would be like today if Chappelle didn't get burned out and leave the show. Believe it - Comedy Central wasn't paying him ridiculous money because the show was just good. It was and will always be LEGENDARY.Most sketch comedy shows are hit and miss. Kids in the Hall and SNL in its prime in the late 80s and early 90s are the closest that shows have come to the hilarity that is Chappelle's Show. Only Chappelle can turn an already legendary figure Rick James into a whole new level of legend, absolutely REAM R. Kelly, beautifully spoof both Law & Order and the reality of white collar crime vs. ghetto crime in one fell swoop, and after leaving the show, have a 2Pac skit that's easily among the best skits he's ever done solidify his legacy (notice the tremendous irony in that?!). There is no unwatchable Chappelle's Show episode...even if some skits aren't THAT funny, almost all of them are at least somewhat funny, and there's generally at least one very funny skit in each episode if not most or all of them. There's more than enough horrible entire shows of SNL, Mad TV, and Frank TV.Most shows start off weak before they hit their stride (most pilot episodes of shows are ironically pretty bad compared to the rest of their runs) but Chappelle had probably one of the strongest outlandishly funny pilots of any show ever (South Park is pretty close). There was no doubt that something special was going on right from the get-go, and Chappelle never failed to deliver.Some people would say perhaps it's best that the show didn't live a long life because most shows that have age like an old ballplayer still believing they can outplay everyone else. I think any true fan of the show would disagree...Chappelle has been a funny guy since back in the Robin Hood: Men In Tights and Half-Baked days and I'm pretty sure he would have still kept his knack for comedy for many more years if he kept the show going. Still, it's his show, his wish, and at the least we can thank him for 2 brilliant years and the extras that came afterward.

mariuslaastad-1 Dave Chappelle is a genius! This show is full of "skits" and i cant remember one that didn't make me laugh. The show does a lot of racial jokes, "they kid about racists and racism, not actual racist jokes" and Chappelle pulls it off every time. I cant remember how many times i watched the episodes over again. Me and my friends always talk about this show, we talk about the different skits and its almost as funny as when i first saw them. If you haven't seen Chappelle's Show, you better! You wont be disappointed unless your a racist or humor paralyzed. This is the best comedy show i have ever seen, with runner ups like Seinfeld, Simpsons, The Office etc etc.

michael_the_nermal I can't for the life of me understand the appeal of this skit comedy show. Chappelle is an okay comedian who occasionally make me laugh hard, but the yuks are mostly wanting in this particular program. The worst skit is ironically the most popular: "The Rick James Story." Chappelle looks and sounds nothing like Rick James, and his catchphrase has become overused ad nauseum in the real world. Other unfunny skits include the crack addict, Popcopy and the racist TV animals. This is not to say the show is a total loss. Paul Mooney's "Negrodamus" monologues are pretty funny, and I sort of liked that "blind, black KKK member" skit. One inspired bit was having the vanilla Steve Harvey play some creepy crook. For the most part, "Chappelle's Show" is a below-average skit comedy with some inspired moments. I will say that it is far superior to other swill that Comedy Central sees fit to broadcast, such as Adam Carolla's talk show, The Man Show, Crossballs, and the worst of the bunch, reruns of the putrid MAD TV.Paul Mooney, one of the writers, has done better work on the excellent skit comedy show "In Living Color." He should write for and bring his "Negrodamus" skit to "Saturday Night Live." I'd watch it then.
