sometimes his skits are funny and sometimes they are down right offensive and yes i have a sense of humor but what do you guys think? does he take it too far?

No he dosen't take things out of proportion he's just straight up crazy and funny as hell.

hell yeah he's funny!

the reason its funny is because its offensive!
its the same reason why Red neck laugh at Jeff Foxworthy, with the you know yoru red neck crap,
when in reality their really laughing at how backwards and retarted they are

yeah he's funny, but is this in the right forum?

Yeeeeaaaaahhhh!!!!!

Yeah he's funny


Smooches;)

i don't know if this is the right forum or not but i thought i'd take a chance and ask. it could be the right forum, since he is a part of pop culture, though i know he's not a musician but he's almost like a hip hop commedian. if there's such a thing.

missfee said:

Yeah, he's funny as hell. And, no, this isn't the right forum.

The funniest person on television right now.

His humor is that he makes fun of EVERYONE and if you take offense, you're missing it.

Hell yes he's funny

he's the man

Yep!!!

Of course. He's just plain hilarious...

But does anybody know when his new season starts? His last 2 seasons started in January, but we haven't seen anything yet this month. Any news?

missfee said:

Yes, he's funny and yes, this is the wrong damn forum!

Yes he is, and he will have to go triple time to make up for the $ 50,000,000 contract he recently signed with ComedyCentral. That is a ton of money from a basic cable channel to put upon anyone, he will be the main anchor of the channel.

Some of his shit, I don't particularlly care for. However, when he did his Prince and Rick James skits, they were hilarious as hell.Some aspects of his humors is to over the top at times and somes he is on point.

I don't really find him funny. It's not that I think he's offensive, I just don't see what the big deal is. Guess it's all a matter of perspective.

BTW, I'm no redneck, but I love me some Jeff Foxworthy.

Jeff Foxworthy over Chappelle???

Anyway, yea, Dave is FUNNY as fuck

CalhounSq said:

No, he's not.

Dave Chappelle's annoying and unfunny, and his skits go on for too long.
After all the raving about how great and hilarious he is here on the Org, I thought I'd watch an episode. I'd never been so bored, but I watched it the entire way through hoping it would get better. It didn't. To be fair, I watched the show a few more times, hoping the first episode I'd seen just wasn't a very good one. They were all the same. I even went and downloaded the infamous Prince skit. Boring. In conclusion: Dave Chappelle is highly unfunny.

As for Jeff Foxworthy: if you've ever spent any significant amount of time in a small town (either Canadian or American) he's hilarious. If you haven't, it's just a bunch of redneck jokes.

But this guy trumps both of them:

Not a Carlin fan for some reason Never have been

And no, never lived in a small town And Dave is fucking funny

CalhounSq said:

Well, there ya go! If you had, you'd probably love him!

Honestly, neither have I, but half my massive family lives in small towns, so I've spent more than my fair share of time in them. I get the humour.


What I don't get is what's funny about crackhead jokes and saying ni**er every 30 seconds.

meow85 said:

Do you really think he'd be this hot right now if that was ALL he was doing? Maybe check out his HBO special "Killin' Them Softly". If that don't make you laugh, stick w/ Jeff

CalhounSq said:

That's pretty much all there is on his show. How am I supposed to assume he does anything else?

CalhounSq said:

I was IN that gig when they recorded it, I only knew him as the crazy dude in DefComedyJam and the Nutty Professor cameo untill my cousin took me to see him in that special,,ever since then, the brotha WON me over!!

Dave is NOT for everybody(as well as Chris Rock), it amuses the hell out of me seeing folks crying their lungs out "OFFENSIVE", wtf did you expect to see? Walt Disney,,,,,shit, he's supposed to be offensive and button-presser, he ain't doing his jop right if he didn't keep ya'll on the edge of the seat *period*

Anyway lol Dave is a NATURAL nutcase everytime I remember his "Pretty white woman singing his thoughts" segment(from the 1st season) and I choke from laughing.

Aaaaaa wouldn't mind sticking a finger or 2 in the back of a singing white girl, either

Cosign,

he is not a true/traditional comedian like Richard Pryor, or Eddie Murphy. But what he does, works - it's some funny ass shit!

It's like Andrew DIce Clay was funny because he was offensive until it got out of hand and he was banned from MTV and NBC.

Hell yeah, he's funny.

CalhounSq said:

Ditto.

meow85 said:

If you've watched more than one episode of his show & that's all you've found then yea, it's not for you. I still suggest his HBO standup...

goat2004 said:

Why do you say that?

I'm beginning to think people have never heard of this guy until the show on Comedy Central I urge you to check out his HBO standup show, Killin' Them Softly - it's hilarious. He's a great standup.

And Andrew Dice Clay was a fucking idiot, there's no comparison...

mostly he's funny. i don't find him offensive, but some of his shows are hit and miss.
