The skits featuring Prince playing basketball, different ethnicities responding reflexively to different types of music, and the Wayne Brady one were especially funny.
I agree! We shouldn't stoop to the level of those damn brotha hatin' cra**ers!
(Sarcasm, of course.)
I thought the one about different ethnicities responding to different kinds of music had potential but it was off base.
I know many old black people that would orgasm over John Mayer's blues riffs and many latins that would be turned off by the piano.
Well I don't know if it was accurate, but the concept was good.
He's a guilty pleasure, his show is blatantly racist and portrays blacks in a very negative light, but it's the funniest thing on TV.
The Wayne Brady skit was priceless.
Don't forget HalfBaked... lol
I know when I play my blues riffs for the barbershop, the old folks all feel it.
Not so when I play my Black Sabbath riffs.
Chapelle was the equivalent of Sammy Farhah - he had a big afro and an unlit cigarette (like Sammy).
Actually, Chappelle has been really smart. He's stayed out of specific politics. Sure he makes political sketches, but usually they are harmless and intelligent. What's imporant though, is that he refrains from making political comments outside of his comedy. Therefor he prevents the alienation of some of his viewers. He is a comedic genius.
Specially when he found out he was black, so he divorced his ___Lover wife.
I have only seen the DVD, so not sure if this was on the TV version. He shows a slo mo of himself starring at the chick as the chick comes out of her top during that skit...it was funny as hell. He said he felt guilty cause he willed it to happen.
At least he doesn't feed his people a bunch of phony balogna history like Ron Karenga & kwanzaa!
And let us not forget the "If The Internet Was a Shopping Mall" skit.
I wish I had seen that.
I absolutely hate that commercial. I never in my life wanted to slap somebody as badly as that freakin' woman.
i like his Lil Jon and his Rick James skits best. He is a hell of an impersonator...plus he gets the real guy in the skits, too. That is talent.
Well, it seemed the draft was originally based on different groups claiming mixed race people like Tiger Woods(and me.) But then he took it a step further and had teh different racial representatives selecting people well outside their bloodlines.
It was set up like the NFL Draft, 3 commentators, an audience and representatives of each ethnicity. They took turns choosing "ethnically neutral" famous people.
It was hillarious!
He's one of the funniest comics around, and he's not really a household name yet. That will change in time.
