Movie Reviews of Chappelle's Show - Season 1 Uncensored
Movie Review: Others Have Said It Better, But ..
Summary: 5 Stars
... this was the first DVD television series I purchased COMPLETELY on word-of-mouth and critical reviews. The response to THE DAVE CHAPPELLE SHOW was so incredible, so phenomenal that I knew I must be missing something, having never watched an episode of it on Comedy Central. I searched several stores, trying to find a copy, and I was always informed, "Oh, good luck finding that because we sell out of it before we've even thrown away the shipping box." Finally, at a lone video store in an upscale shopping mall, I found a copy, bought it right away, and went home ...... and watched all twelve episodes, laughing (almost) hysterically all the while!
The skits are not for the feint-of-heart. What Chappelle does (a send-up of cultural norms by infusing it with a throwback to a time when the likes of Richard Pryor set the comedy standard) is absolutely daring, bold, incredible, and hilarious ... but it is not for everyone. Some will find his brand of comedy offensive because of today's pervasive (and possibly corrosive) political correctness, but those viewers who are inclined to "try anything for a laugh" will find plenty to laugh about as Chappelle lampoons everything from the concept of having one's own show all the way to satirizing popular trends in television (his send up of "Trading Places" becoming "Trading Spouses" his hilarious) and all the way back to making fun of himself. It's absolute brilliance.
One thing that I've found missing from most reviews I've read is the fact that Dave Chappelle -- unlike a host of other comedians who get granted their own television program -- CAN ACTUALLY ACT! Largely, he plays cultural stereotypes (the black crack addict, the black streetwise punk, etc.), but when he has to play it straight (the khaki-black news reporter, the everyday husband) he does so with incredible reserve, poise, and talent. THAT is perhaps the trump card behind the genius of this show: the man in the center is not only gifted with a unique vision but he has the skills to communicate that vision (whether offensive or not to others) in a manner that should honestly unwrap any critical arguments against the show. He's talented, he clearly doesn't take himself seriously, and he's likable.
Buy this and enjoy!

Movie Review: Hatas wanna hate, lovas wanna love.....
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by the one of the funniest show of all time. I have been a big Dave Chappelle fan in counting his films like "Screwed", "Half Baked", and I loved him in "Blue Streak". I didn't know what to expect from his show when the first episode, and through it I thought it was ok till the (...) sketch where Dave plays black white supremacist. I laughed and I laughed till I couldn't breathe anymore. Then when I heard these DVD's were coming out, I knew I had to buy this. This is a great collection to have in your DVD collection. I know I will be purchasing the second season as well when it comes out. The special features are audio commentary with Dave himself and co-creator Neal Brennan on 5 episodes. It also has Bloopers and deleted scenes and "ask a black dude with Paul Mooney"(unaired footage). And remember, this is uncensored!!!These are the episodes and their description.
Episode 1- Dave plays a blind white supremacies (aka white power!)
episode 2- Dave plays a crack addict and visits a elementary school ("aka drugs and alcohol, have ruined my life")
episode 3- Dave makes fun of the classic film the roots (aka "I told you all not to give me a real baby")
episode 4- Dave awards women with great NY (...)(you got great (...)")
episode 5-Dave reflects on Great Moments in hookup history (aka "would anyone want to take this drunk, (...), lady home")
episode 6- Dave makes fun of the "Real World" (aka "I'm bad, Tyrese you stabbed my dad")
episode 7- Dave makes fun of the matrix and pretty women (aka "you know what, you got to get the fu^& out of here")
episode 8- Dave talks about hook-up history (aka "(...) in the popcorn")
episode 9- Dave pokes fun at Godzilla and Grand Theft Auto
episode 10- Dave makes fun of R. Kelly with his new I wanna pee on you ( aka "haters wanna hate, lovers wanna love, I don't even know none of thee above I wanna piss on you")

episode 12- Dave shows what happens when interracial families switch (I'm from the streets g-g-g-unit")
A must buy DVD, I love this freaken show!
Movie Review: The laughs never stop
Summary: 5 Stars
Dave Chappelle has been one of my favorite comedians since I first saw him back in "Half-Baked" in 1998. Since then Dave-Mania has exploded, causing Dave to get his own sketch comedy show on Comedy Central appropriately titled "Chappelle's Show". Now I don't know if Dave is the primary writer of these skits, but whoever is, is an absolutely hilarous, and sickly demented. Dave's show is one that you can laugh with your friends, or by yourself, it doesn't really matter, because the show is so damn funny. Making fun of politics, culture and almost anything else you can imagine, Chappelle's show pushes the limit every episode and doesn't care who it offends.
Season one has some of the best skits the show has done thus far, including spoofs of "The Real World" and "Trading Places". The characters and ideas are just so funny. You can't help but laugh. If you're uptight about crude humor, then this show is probably not for you. On Chappelle's show, no one and no race is safe. Don't take it personally, or you're going to miss the real comedy behind a lot of his opinions. I'm white and I don't take it seriously. I actually think it's very funny. The Extras including on the DVD are well worth buying, including commentary on episodes, deleted scenes, outtakes and more. The outtakes and deleted are by far the best piece of extras on here. Still episodes containing skits like "Blackzilla", "The Mad Real World", "Trading Spouses", Dave's version of Grand Theft Auto, "Great Moments in Hook-up History" and many more, you will not be dissapointed by this purchase.
I can't wait til season two hits stores, but until that time, season one will hold me over. The fact that it's uncensored is even better, because I don't know why, but hearing Dave say the F word is jusf funny. He has a way of saying this that just can't be emmulated. If you're a fan of the show, then you probably already own this, but if you haven't seen it, or you like what Dave Chappelle has been in, but somehow skipped the show, then go out and pick this up immediately. I think it's running for about $20 right now, so it's not that big of a hole in your pocket like other seasonal box sets are.
Movie Review: The most hilarious show you will ever see now on DVD...
Summary: 5 Stars
Before i bought 'Season 1' of the Chappelle Show on DVD i had watched every episode in the season already. The thing that makes this DVD so hilarious is the fact that its uncensored and uncut. Dave Chappelle takes humor to extreme levels in this package complete with all the first season episodes (some featuring commentary by Dave and other show creators) and deleted bonus material such as the 20 minute 'Ask a Black Dude' segment with comedian Paul Mooney.The sketches on the 'Chappelle's Show' season one are undeniably hilarious. Dave spoofs everyone from Ms. Cleo (on "Dave Chappelle's Educated Guess Line") to R. Kelly (on the "Piss On You" and "Piss On You (remix)" skits) with his over-the-top racism and negativity. Most people would say "that isn't funny" or "how can you laugh at that?", but the fact of the matter is that this is what America wants to see. Taking such current shows as MTV's The Real World ("The Mad Real World") and Trading Spaces ("Trading Spouses") and making them into twisted masterpieces is exactly what Dave Chappelle is so good at. Even the skits that are so cruel (such as a sketch where Dave visits a cancerous boy in the hospital) they still make you burst out laughing after Chappelle has worked his magic on them.
The shows negative points are few but still are visible. The execissive use of racist slurs like 'n****' create an unpleasent atmosphere for most of the episodes as well does the constant usage of 'f***' and 'b****'. Also is the repitive nature of the skits, seeing as almost every one involves the same "i hate white people" message.
Overall, however, the complete first season is unflawed by any negative comments and comes off as a masterpiece. The added bonus music from rappers Mos Def, Talib Kweli and De La Soul are an added bonus that makes the disc even more fun to watch. It has been said so many times before, but this is the future of television and Dave Chappelle will be around for a very long time.
