Last time Chappelle was in Charleston he was sighted out with Bill Murray. Now THAT would have been a table to sit at.

There was a concert, yes. But for whatever reason, you failed to see the comedic genius of how he walked around Brooklyn NYC and talked a bunch of people into attending. The white lady he always bought cigarettes from came. He toured an old hippie house, hand built, just to make sure they wouldn’t have a problem with him holding an outdoor concert on their block.
Never mind. You missed out.

Killin Them Softly is the peak of comedic genius.

He's one of the best ever to do it. All of the top 5 or 10 comics are interchangeable.

I would assume most of the OT hates Dave Chappelle, and Kevin Hart.

They're both in my top 5. They have vastly different kinds of comedy. I can see how someone doesn't like Norm, but I don't know how someone wouldn't find Chappelle funny.

Has Dave had to apologize for his white face skits yet?

Seriously, I wonder what the reaction would be if someone called him out on his white person skits and tried to get him to apologize. Heads would explode.

I remember being blown away by s1 ep1 of Chappelle show when they did the Clayton bigsby frontline skit. Brilliant


They came back from commercial after and he was like “WELL we’re not canceled yet”. So great

The Auburn Student Activity Association, or whatever it was called, got him to perform at the activity center when I was there in 2000. Not sure if they knew exactly what they were getting into, but he did the entire Killing Them Softly act uncensored for a couple thousand students. I think it was right before it came out on HBO so no one had seen it yet. The place was just a roar of laughter the entire time.

Like that would ever happen.

The N-word Family skit is the greatest skit of all time followed closely behind by the Slavery Reparations skit. I think I use I'm rich biatch at least once a day.

The Charlie Murphy skits with Rick James are gold as well.

If it wasn't for his comeback in the face of SJW cancel culture, he would have just been a great comic. However that move alone has propelled him into possibly the greatest of all time. He has hit about every political party, race, creed, religion, sex, everything with disregard.
