When he's on, he's the most subversive, hilarious comic since Richard Pryor, hands-down. When he's bad, he's still better than 10 Martin Lawrences or Chris Tuckers.

The opera girl singing his thoughts in the first episode had me hooked from the get-go.

MendesCity said:

Hell Yeah, that is one of his classic episodes along with the Rick James, Prince, and R-Kelly Episodes. Shit, people can say what they want but he comes up with some innovative shit like SNL used to do in the 70's (w/the exception of the damn crack head skitb/ c its boring after a while).I love this cat b/c he don't give fuck about being PC and just goes w/what's funny and that's how commedy should be. Funny w/out boundaries and being

I heard he had hooked up with that runaway bride.

Well then lets just agree to disagree cuz i thought the shit was hilarious.

I guess you had to be American to wholly enjoy it.

cinnamonjo said:

Damn Right.

And to be even more honest, I couldn't understand half the time what Chappelle was trying say if I didn't have the volume on the TV turned up really loud.

He is funny because he is not PC. If Richard Pryor were to come out today he would not go over because a whole generation has been raised on PC nosense.

Dave made it into the comedy hall of fame with The Niggers routine and the racial lottery.

when is second DVD is released - U better get it quick! It's gonna sell like it's fucking Star Wars: Revenge of The Sith!

Chapelle is the modern day equivalent of Pryor. Pryor set the stage for Dave. If it hadn't been for Richard, Dave's ass would not had a show period.

sinisterpentatonic said:

now that shit is funny, Classic someone send this to dave.

jus heard that he had checked himself in2 a mental institution last month


dave...wtf man?

Apparently being a comic genius is a hellvu drug. This is exteremly dissapointed. You know he'll find religon or something or have an even bigger ego than before. The show will suffer for sure but at this point, let's hope the man just comes out sane! Now you know what would be great....if this was some elaborate stunt. I wouldn't put it past him. That would be great!

THIS JUST IN

Report: Chappelle in Psych Facility
By Marcus Errico Thu May 12, 2:46 PM ET

He hasn't been seen on set for weeks. His hit show has been shut down. And his friends are speculating on various reasons for his purported meltdown.

Now comes word that Dave Chappelle is undergoing treatment in a psychiatric facility in South Africa.

Quoting an unnamed source "close to the situation," Entertainment Weekly said Wednesday that the comedian flew to South Africa late last month and voluntarily checked himself into the undisclosed facility. There is no word on the nature of his ailment or how long he will be hospitalized.

Sources confirmed to E! last week that Chappelle had been a no-show at work for several days. On May 4, Comedy Central abruptly announced Chappelle's Show wouldn't make its May 31 third-season launch and that production had been halted indefinitely.

"All parties are optimistic that production will resume in the near future," network spokesman Tony Fox said in a statement.

Chappelle's publicist, Matt Labov, has not publicly commented since Chappelle disappeared.

The entertainer reportedly flew from Newark, New Jersey, to Capetown, South Africa, on Apr. 28 to seek treatment.

The EW report trumps earlier speculation in the latest edition of Newsweek. Several unnamed friends of the entertainer posited different theories explaining his absence to the newsmag. One said Chappelle "freaked" and didn't know how to deal with the breakout success of Chappelle's Show, which has become a full-blown pop-culture phenomenon and led to Chappelle signing an unprecedented $50 million contract last summer. The deal came in the wake of the sketch comedy's record-setting first-season DVD sales.

Another acquaintance alluded to the Half-Baked star's partying. "I wouldn't say it's out of control," the purported pal dished to Newsweek, "but at some point that has to affect you if you've got a regular gig." Chappelle's camp has categorically denied he was abusing drugs.

A third suggested in Newsweek that Chappelle had creative differences with Comedy Central over the direction of the show. Chappelle reportedly wanted to push the boundaries of his comedy, with some racially provocative sketches, but the network had resisted.

A source close to the production tells E! that Chappelle had finished nearly five episodes for the new season before going AWOL. The season got off to a bumpy start late last year when Comedy Central announced it was moving back the debut from February to May, saying Chappelle had been unable to stockpile enough scripts due to an illness.

With the show's future suddenly in doubt, Comedy Central and corporate sibling Paramount are hoping to plug the Chappelle gap in the meantime with the release of the second-season DVD collection on May 24.
