I'll take Chris Rock, better standup and his movies/TV have been pretty good too.

Honestly, like Chapelle's stand up better than Rock's as well. People act like Chappelle Show was his only good work but the guy kills the two stand up specials I've seen him do. Rock has larger catalog of work, Chappelle just down right FUNNIER.

His "For what it's worth" stand up is the best stand-up routine I've ever seen.

Never found Chris Rock funny.

Dave Chapelle is funny

I think Key and Peele is funnier than both of them, though. Their show is much more witty.

I don't watch the show all that much. I've only seen a few episodes of the second season. However, I think they are funnier. Dave was goofy, which was great. Funny stuff. Chris Rock is just annoying. "LOOK AT ME! I'M LOUD AND BLACK! YOU'RE WHITE! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

Chapelle. But that public service on how not to get your arse kicked by police by Rock makes me LMAO.

Kind of like Lewis Black. He just says frick a lot and gets mad at mildly funny things. It's the shtick people like, not the humor.

Exactly.

And, look, I like Dave Chapelle. Dude is funny. Still, his content is pretty elementary. I'm sorry, it's the truth. It's still funny, though.

Key and Peele, from what I've seen, are much more witty. Their content is much more diverse. Of course, I admit that I've only seen a few episodes of their stuff, and it was all from the second season.

They're pretty funny but whenever they have a good sketch they milk it so bad and start to do a different version of the same thing almost every episode like they do with the Obama anger translator one

TV sketch comedy, it might be Chapelle. However, the Chris Rock Show was critically acclaimed and pretty good (more of a talk show though).

Stand up is Rock hands down. People forget how good his late 90s stand up was. He has several pantheon stand up segments that are funny, edgy, and political, and that probably no other comedians could pull off.

- Marion Berry - "The mayors on crack"
- O- J Trial - "Not saying he should have done it, but I understand"
- ****** vs. Black Folks - "When I go to the money machine at night I'm not looking over my shoulder for Ed Bradley, I'm looking for ********"
- Columbine segment opening to bigger and blacker
- Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky/Hillary Clinton not doing her job

Bring the Pain is a GOAT stand up special candidate. It's in the HOF for sure and probably on Mount Rushmore. Even though Chris Rock has all but disavowed it. NOLALGD is spot on with his analysis.

Chappelle Show is up there too.
