Second Season of Chappelle's Show: Funny as Hell
I love Dave Chappelle's stand up. I remember how excited I was when I heard he was getting his own show on Comedy Central. I also remember how disappointed I was with most of the episodes of the first season. They were a bit too over the top for me. The black white supremacist was damn funny, though.
The second season, however, has been great. The Charlie Murphy/Rick James sketch alone more than makes up for the first season. Prince playing basketball? Priceless. The Niggars? Hella funny. What say you, Chappelle's Show fans? I'm Rick James, bitch.

I kid you not, I was thinking about starting a thread about the show on my way to lunch not 3 hours ago. I don't watch it regularly but the times I have it was uproariously funny. The segment where he had John Myer going around to see what affect guitar music had on white people, then drums on black folks and keyboards to Hispanics had me doubled over, literally. And the black white supremacist was damn funny.

Play, fast-rewind, Play again......
Rick James: "What do you think, I just do shit like that just to do it? Grindin' mud on Eddie Murphy's couch? I got more sense than that. Yeah, I remember doin' it....."
Pretty soon, Charlie is gonna need his own show.

This show slays me. I had been somewhat familiar with Dave Chappelle before this show (mostly from the movie, Half Baked) but I had no idea he was capable of the kind of creativity and devestating wit he demonstrates on the Chappelle Show.
Some of my favorite sketches include the afore mentioned black white supremacist, the reversal on "the Real World," (white guy in a house full of black people) and the sketch where Chappelle goes to visit a Make-A-Wish kid in the hospital and ends up trash-talking him while kicking his ass at video basketball. I also love the promos where he reads letters from outraged viewers. From the letter: I can't believe you would let such an obvious racist on the air! Chappelle: I didn't realize I was making it that obvious.

It's a great, great show. The Rick James bit had me in hysterics. As for his being a racist? Er...to who? He mocks black people more then he mocks white people. If anything, that real world segment was one long joke at black people's expense. I think he is happy to offend everyone.

I loved the Rick James and the John Mayer skit. But what had me in hysterics was the Racial Draft. Absolutely perfect, from the ESPN music to the pointless commentary. The dude doing the ultra-black guy negotiating with Dave Chapelle as the ultra-white guy for Colin Powell and Condi Rice just killed me. But the best was the Asian dude in the Chairman Mao outfit announcing their selection "Inspecta Deck, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Method Man, the GZA, the RZA, Ghostface Killa -- the WU TANG CLAN", the RZA and the Inspecta getting up and yelling "Konichiwa bitches!" and the crowd of Asians outside doing the Wu-Tang dance thing.
Charlie Murphy! Come over here, Darkness!

Oh yeah!
Rick James: I can't believe I'm sittin' here tellin' you stories about Charlie Murphy kickin' my ass! The racial draft was a riot. The end of the black white supremacist had me on the floor: Clayton Bigbsy divorced his wife stating he could not be married to a nigger lover. The first show I saw had a skit in which Dave says he plays Vice City too much and it has effected his life. He leaves his house, walking in that loose-limbed Vice City walk and his game stats are on the screen. He pulls a guy out of his car "Sorry, I need this." smacks the guy around. The guy pulls out a gun and shoots Dave, Dave stands there while weapons cycle in his hands. OK, that's just not a good description. You had to have seen the show and played the game. But believe me, it was funny

I agree that the second season has been more consistently funny so far than the first season. Plus he seems to be relying on that recurring crackhead less often to get cheap laughs. That sketch spoofing It's a Wonderful Life from the first season with the "angel"/janitor on PCP talking to the big breasted girl was also a low point, most of the humor came from him throwing the word "titty" out there as often as possible. The kind of stuff you expect from sixth graders.
I have to admit I like the humor he gets out of racial stereotypes of all colors. The reparations sketch from the first season was good. But the racial draft from this one is probably some of his best stuff since the black white supremacist. The whites and blacks reluctantly agreeing to take back Eminem and OJ Simpson respectatively was cool too. I like the milkman (Dave) in the Niggars sketch saying, in his best Eddie "Rochester" Anderson voice: "Oh! This racism is killin' me inside!" I had been playing GTA 3 a lot when I first saw the skit he did about Vice City I remember shouting at the TV when he was cycling through the weapons, "Scroll faster, dumbass!" Tells you I had been playing GTA too much at that point.

My favorite line this season was from the skit where he shows how he handled things during different periods of his life. He just lost a movie role to a guy his kid called "Hilarious." To his kid:
"Well [so and so, I forgot the name] just ran off with your school clothes money! I'm broke, niggar, I'm broke!" I just couldn't stop laughing. Still can't.

White Supremacist. Crackhead lecturing class of children.
Not just is Chapelle willing to poke fun at all ethnic groups, including his own, but he also has the ability to get other people to do it to themselves. For example, Carson Daly as the host of TRL ten years down the road, fat, with a bald spot in his semi-mullet (the sketch where Dave buys the camera that will let him see Ten Years in the Future/Who the Person Last Slept With/Something Else I can't Remember). My favorite line from the Niggar sketch, though, was in the restaurant: "I bet you'll get the best table a nigger's ever got in here." I've been a big fan of Dave Chapelle when he was just doing stand-up ("Anybody here ever made that joke about having a gun when going through the metal detector at the airport? Don't do that, y'all."). But he's really kicked up his creativity a notch on this show. I can't find fault with either season. His first season was more of a feeling-out, see-what-he-can-get-away-with sorta thing. But genius. And yes, Charlie Murphy should get his own show.

So many classic lines in the Niggar Family sketch.
"She's got those Niggar lips!" "I know never to get between a Niggar and his pork!" "That Niggar boy is such a good athlete. And so well-spoken." "Niggar, please!" My my my. Maybe the best part was the joy Chapelle's milk man character got out of saying 'nigger' to this clueless white family. The racial draft was amazing, too. [Dave as Tiger Woods]: I've always wanted to say this... fa schizzle. [Dave as commentator]: We've just received word that Tiger Woods has lost all his endorsements. Sorry, Tiger. There's always FUBU!

dave chappelle is a comedic genius. i've seen probably half of last season's shows, and there was barely a bad sketch in the lot of them. which is saying a lot, because even good sketch comedy shows usually get maybe half of them right.
he does a great job of tackling the whole race issue while keeping it fresh and only slightly uncomfortable. the race draft was classic, a stroke of genius. the spoof on kinkos pretty much sums up all retail sales. "the niggars" pretty much put all lame racial stereotypes to rest. and this year's rick james extravaganza was downright hilarious. i tried to explain it to a friend, but me saying "i'm rick james, bitch" for some reason doesn't quite do it justice...

oh, and i forgot to say, big ups to comedy central for airing chappele's show with apparently little network censoring. i always think i'm watching hbo during the show, which is a huge compliment. it's nice to see another network pushing boundaries and putting out original stuff.

To those of you who didn't know about Chappelle before his show, or to anyone else who hasn't seen it:
You NEED to watch his comedy routine Killing Them Softly. It's funnier than anything I have ever seen in my life. It's funnier than Eddie Murphy's Raw, It's funnier than any of Chris Rock's shows...I'm a bit young to say that he's funnier than Richard Pryor, but for my money KTS is easily the best routine of the last 20 years. HBO still plays it occasionally. It isn't available to buy as a CD but a little birdie just told me you may be able to find it on that ting on the net where you can find other audio things. Hmm.

Limo Driver on the phone (from memory so be kind) "oh hello.....what? WHAT? NO NIGGER HELL NO! FUCK THAT NIGGER....I'm on my way. *click* hold on I gotta make a stop"
That's my favorite part of that whole show. You would just feel doom shoot through you if your driver did that.

I hope they keep doing the Chalie Murphy stories. The fact that they're true is what makes them so hysterical. That and the way that Charlie tells them, his little throwaway lines are killer.
"The first person I saw was OJ Simpson. I said damn. that's OJ Simpson. Man he's got a big f---ing head." "Even in the old days when slapping was fashionable...there was a gunfight after that. Somebody had to go." (On Prince's outfit) "It looked like something a figure skater would wear." "What are you looking at me for? You know where you got that shirt...and it wasn't at the men's department." I loved the way he was so insistent that the Prince story was true, "how could I make up some shit like that? I dare you to play Prince one on one in basketball." It's east to see how a guy like Charlie could keep a crew mesmerized and in stitches with these stories as well as why Chappelle would see them as goldmines for sketches.

Just watched the Rick James ep again. Another line (I missed it the first time):
"He called us Darkness cos we was the blackest n*ggers on the planet at the time. Until Wesley Snipes came along." Charlie has a great delivery. Hopefully, we'll see more stories from him.

Chappellle has the potential to outlast Rock. Chappelle's Show should prove that to any naysayers. He takes chances I don't think Rock would. The writing is brilliant and as funny, if not funnier, than 95% of anything currently on the air. I hope he can handle the success. Look what happened to Eddie Murphy. A huge string of really bad movie choices. I see that season one will be released on DVD on Tuesday. I'm buying a copy if for no other reason than the black white supremacist sketch from the first episode. I laughed my ass off at that.

Playing basketball with Prince had me rolling. "They came out wearing the same clothes they had on before!"
"Game...Blouses." The WacArnolds skit is hilarious too. "Forget WacArnolds, you're cut off! You want WacArnolds you have to go through me!"

Mr. Blue Sky, I was just telling my husband that the other day. The Charlie Murphy True Hollywood Stories sketch should at least be nominated for an Emmy. I doubt it will, though, what with the liberal use of the word nigger and all.

Yeah, the one talking that said "cocaine is a hell of a drug" was the real Rick James.
The Niggars sketch had me doubled over from laughter. The best part was when Dave stuck his head back in the room, yelled "Niggars!!" and ran back out the door. I though Dave was kind of funny before the show. I had never seen his stand up, just his movie roles. His show flat out floored me. Has to be one of the smartest, funniest shows on television.

I've never even seen the show (no cable), but the most popular saying in my restraunt is "I'm Rick James bitch!" This can come in response to anything from "What'd the 5 fingers say to the face?" or just any inquary.
Good times. -Mike
