I think Dave Chappelle is hilarious. BEEAATCH!! I loved the sketch about the all-black "Real World". ROFL
I had forgotten about that one- I am sitting here laughing out loud just thinking about it. ROFL!!
That's his impression of Lil' John the rapper- my husband goes around saying WHAT!! Okay!! YEEEESSSSS And then when he broke out with babara walters interview and started talking seriously- that was hilarious.
And I love Tyrone the crackhead too- the Fear Factor skit is da bomb!
I think Tyrone is really Eddie Murphy's Brother.
Did you read what he prefaced it with--he's making a joke, somewhat at his audience's expense.
Some aren't as fond of his humor, but in some of his better moments(outrageous or no) I see bits of myself in him. He's not a stupid guy and is much quicker and brighter than a Martin Lawrence or many other comedians, black or white.
He has a sick sense of humor, which I actually like, because who else would play himself playing video game basketball with a cancer-ridden child and talking trash?!
"Aw, Billy I shoulda left you dead, baby! 'cuz THAT, THAT one was a killer!"
I'm still laughing at that one...and I don't know why!
Tyree from the "real world: Hoboken" is Charlie Murphy who IS Eddie's brother.
Tyrone the crackhead is played, very clearly, by Dave Chappelle.
Well Charlie is a Damm Funny Guy!
He is, I loved the look on his face when he talks about how Prince served he and his friends pancakes. Which is another great skit that people don't talk about as much. Chappelle's imitation of Prince, his intonation, even the way he blinks was pretty funny.
Chappelle grew up in D.C. His father is a music professor at Antioch College (Yellow Springs, OH)...yes, the same Antioch where a guy has to ask for permission to get to first base and beyond. Chappelle owns a farm not far from Antioch and lives there most of the time.
Here are my top 3 Chappelle skits...
1) "The Niggars"...this skit should qualify for an Emmy!
2) The game show about how well do you know blacks
3) Chappelle playing the prospective juror for the respective trials of OJ, R. Kelly, Baretta and Michael Jackson...absolutely classic! The part where he shows R. Kelly "hypothetically" pissing on the young girl, with his grandmother as the witness, is classic. "That's my Robert...always pissin' on somebody." That piss was digital!
The Rick James skit is way overrated...Charlie Murphy is classic...he cracks me up just looking at him. How about when Chappelle visits the internet? mmm-mmm, bitch! I'm broke, ni**er, I'm broke! Oprah? Do you mind if I get a happy ending? What is a loosey? What is a chicken-head? The black delegation will accept the white delegation's selection of Eminem as long as they also take Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell.
I'm afraid this might be Chappelle's last season on Comedy Central. I'm Wayne Brady, bitch!
I probably shouldn't even give the title of the sketch here, but the piece Chappelle did involving a creative use of a popcorn container in a movie theater had me rolling on the floor.
Also, the little girl who was murdered by the "kid" deserves justice. Was she white or black? Why do blacks think it's so cool to stick up for black criminals, but not their black victims?
Elizabeth Smart is now old news... but she gets re-reported frequently. The media is always doing special news stories on anniversaries of the favorite "cause" or ratings crimes .. like Matthew Shepard's murder. The A G prisoner "abuse" scandal is old news. It keeps on going and going and going..... They are selective about their reporting, and the duration of the stories. It is not a stretch to presume race played a part in the media decisions when comparing coverage of the two kidnapping incidents. You have no point.
Rare and hard to find is it?
In this case, I don't think Chappelle was "sticking up" for Tate as much as saying that if a 12 year old is an "adult" then certainly an "adult" Smart at 14 had enough sense to go up to an adult for help once she was allowed to go out with those nutballs.
So dad is a college professor and Chappelle says
'Learn to play basketball, tell jokes or sell crack. That's the only way I've seen people get out.'
Aw, isn't that cute.
If you ask me, the Charlie Murphy true hollywood stories are the funniest bits on the show.
For those of you haven't seen it, the bit is Charlie Murphy telling stories from his days in the 80's and 90's partying in LA, with Dave Chapelle playing the celebrities that Charlie ran into, like Rick James or Prince.
"We just gave him some help." lol
