    Sexylocher Masterful Movie
    SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
    filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
    Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
    Marcus Geebs This show is beyond funny. Dave Chappelle is hilarious. I like his brand of comedy. He has the jokes and sketches that make everything funny. I love his Tupac sketch with that song. That was the funniest sketch he has done. I couldn't stop laughing through the whole thing. I also like some of his early season episodes too. Dave Chappelle has starred in some countless funny movies. This show features some of the funniest episodes of comedy made so far. I think he should make another season but that is my opinion. All in all this show is one of the funniest shows i've seen. Also When the Chappelle Show first came on Comedy Central, I was amazed that they were able to air it. It made so many racist jokes that I thought for sure it wouldn't\'t last 3 episodes.
    Bobbie Rousson This is one of my favourite TV shows of all time and one of the greatest sketch comedy TV series ever made in my humble opinion. Dave Chapelle does an amazing job as the host and he is also in pretty much every single sketch that they do on the show. The Rick James bits are of course all time classics and I wish there was more of that, it is a real shame that this show only lasted two seasons before all the bitterness and craziness that made this show end. It's a shame how much great comedy there still could have been if he had decided to stay on the air but I'm still just glad he did these two seasons (avoid the unaired extra episodes they put together after he quit because they are not very good at all and only make the show seem worst). The stuff with Wayne Brady is also classic, and the black blind klan member, and the crack head character, so much great comedy in this series!
    kosmasp Chappelle Show was enjoyed by many and will be missed by many, too. It's shown us the true meaning of comedy and what we all can achieve by ... what? It's not "eulogy"? Then what is it again? Ah, OK right, "Unity"! ;o) If you haven't watched the show you might not get the joke, but you might not even get it, even if you watched it. That's also how the show worked. It could be that you didn't get all the jokes at the first viewings. Although it sometimes got to places, that I don't think are particularly funny (e.g. fecal jokes/humor). There are also jokes that I liked that others might feel offended by (e.g. racial jokes).It's a shame overall, that there was no official Season 3 (or four/fifth and so forth), but at least there are "Lost Episodes" available on DVD (from tapings of the 3rd Season, if I read that right, here on IMDb). The whole cast/ensemble are great here, but Charlie Murphy is especially a hoot. His True Hollywood Stories (on TV only 2 of them, on DVD there are two more) are comedy television at it's finest! And yes the Rick James episode is my favorite too ... although my favorite Rick James quote isn't "I'm Rick James, b...", but "Cocaine is a hell ..."! :o)
    oyason CHAPPELLE'S SHOW was, as it claims, one of the best shows on television. Dave Chappelle models a technique and comedic richness steeped in the "chitlin' circuit" traditions of Moms Mabley, Pigmeat Markham, Jester Hairston, Redd Foxx, and the late Richard Pryor. The man has done his homework. His satire is scathing filled with a low key rage that spares no one, himself included, but it is delivered in a style that is not without warmth and graciousness.Chappelle and his cast stand out because they are rooted in a sense of U.S. culture that is rare among all to many young performers in the United States, who, anymore, are more intrigued with becoming "American Idols" then in learning their craft. Even as his star crests, Chappelle is busy featuring talent from the world of underground hip hop, thereby lending legitimacy to a musical form that is achieving new levels of subtlety as it enters its fourth decade of existence. Dave Chappelle is not only a comic, he is a cultural critic who has achieved a crossover dream and is taking some other promising talents along with him. His cast is made up of artists and cameos that bring to bear a mockery that gores all sacred cows. So. Steak, anyone? Pick a screen, any screen. This boy and his crew have some serious chops. All aboard for Kneehigh Park.
