Movie Reviews of Chappelle's Show - Season 1 Uncensored
Movie Review: Seriously...he's funny!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you haven't seen "Chappelle's Show" by now, you either don't get Comedy Central or you're really old. This has got to be the best show to come out in the last year. My first Chappelle expierence was "Half Baked" (which I highly suggest you pick up) and I thought it was hilarious. And Dave wrote most of it. The thing that makes him so special is that he's not only funny; he's creative. I mean, c'mon. You have to be pretty damn creative to think of something like a black white supremisist and instead of making it bomb and offend everyone like it easily could have, you make it funny!Dave also writes the majority of his show (there's another guy too...ah, I can't remember his name), which is just fine with me. My favorites bits of Season 1 were the R. Kelly music video, the black white supremisist and the Mad Real World (which also contains one of my favorite quotes: "You sit DOWN when you pee. I better not catch you standing up!"). If a friend watched this, you'll find yourself quoting it and laughing about it all day. I mean, how many times has someone said "I'm Rick James, b*tch" or "YEEEEEEEEEAH" at your school?
All I can say is that you need this if you consider yourself a person who likes to laugh. Either watch it on Comedy Central or ignore the constant commercial breaks (the only bad part about the show) that interrupt it and buy it on this DVD. And I'm happy to say, Season 2's even better!
Movie Review: A breath of fresh air for sketch comedy
Summary: 5 Stars
Dave Chappelle has raised the genre of sketch comedy to new levels. Sketch comedy has been lackluster as of late, with SNL and MadTV shadows of their former selves. New shows like Kids in the Hall are ok, but not gutwrenchingly funny. Chappelle's Show delivers the deep laughs SNL used to. His humor pushes the envelope in all areas. Chappelle's humor is racial, sexist, and vulgar. If you are offended easily, DO NOT watch Chappelle's Show, as it tends to be very offensive. But if you like darker humor and can laugh about things you will love Chappelle's Show. Chappelle is a comedic genius. His material is very original and well done. He satirizes pop culture, racism, and pretty much everything else. The actors on the show are excellent, especially Charlie Murphy (Eddie Murphy's little brother). If you enjoy Richard Pryor or George Carlin, you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of Chappelle's Show Season One, and you should catch season 2 on Comedy Central. If you are offended by Chappelle's Show and think it is racists, remember Chappelle himself is black and its supposed to be overtly offensive. Chappelle's style of humor is shock humor. Brilliant material plus well written sketches, plus in-your-face humor plus Charlie Murphy equals the best sketch comedy ever to grace our TV Screens.Movie Review: MusicalGenius, you are THE MAN

My god, that has to be a false review. If it is the man is a gul-darn genius and then some for posting some of the most pseudo-pretentious garbage that's ever been put on... well, this is amazon.com, so i'll back off from that. Someone with the lowest batting average I've ever seen in Amazon reviews (on a guesstimate, he's at about .184, or 1 out of 6 found this review helpful) comes in and gives Dave Chappelle a one star review... you have to be kidding me, right? It's a joke...? Humor today can't be as classic as Cosby, Alda, Burns, or whomever that individual mentioned. Chappelle is real. And he's self-conscious, c.f. 2/25/04's sketch about how it's wrong to keep it real. I think that Chappelle should get upgraded, whatever that means. At least give him the status of Bob Odenkirk and David Cross on HBO... something like putting him across from Larry David and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Half of me hopes that this show will keep going, but the other half says that it's better for Mr. Chappelle to go out and do something more profound and gut-wrenchingly funny than this.
I'll love season 2 when it comes out, and hope that Mr. Chappelle's talent continues to expand for many years to come.

Movie Review: "BETTER NOT BRING YOUR KEE-YEEDS!!"
Summary: 5 Stars
Ah, Dave Chappelle. One of our generation's better comedians... I mean, how many people in this day and age go this far in their comedy?
In early 2003, Dave Chappelle started his own show on Comedy Central, "Chappelle's Show" (well, duh, you're looking at it right now). It was an instant hit. Why? Simple: it's funny, outrageous, and pushes the envelope in ways previously thought unimaginable (check out the "Black White Supremacist" sketch!). Dave Chappelle is charismatic with the crowd, and knows how to talk to an audience. His voices, attitude, comedy, and mannerisms, rolled into one, make for some funny, funny stuff. This is sort of like "In Living Color" for the new millenium.
If you're looking for the "I'm Rick James B***h" sketch, it's not on here (I think it's season two). This is before everyone started running around using that catchphrase. This is from early 2003, when the only kids in my class who watched it were me and two of my friends, and we would go into class the next day quoting it while everyone else looked on like we were crazy (um.. never mind). Best sketches: "Popcopy", "The Black White Supremacist", "Roots Outtakes", "Tyrone Biggums", et cetera.
To Dave, best wishes, hope you're getting better.
Movie Review: The greatest show on Cabel T.V.
Summary: 5 Stars
First off to the guy who said that he rather watch SNL or Mad T.V. those shows suck. SNL was funny at it's prime but now the show is boring. Even Mad T.V. has nothing funny. I guess he can't afford cable so he watches crappy shows on lonley saturday nights. People like you don't know good humor when you see it. And people haven't said that Rick James line for a long time now and it's not on this chappelles season 1,it's on season 2. But here's one for the road: "I'm Rick James Bitch". When Chappelle first came out people have been telling me to watch his show and it's funny. So I finally got a chance to see an episode. The first episode I saw was the R. Kelly skit. Man I was laughing so hard. And on this DVD, it is full of funny skits. The blind kkk member skit was hilarious. I even like the Zapped when he suppose to do something like Punk but he's robbing a bank and other great stuff. But the best skit off this season has to be The Mad Real World. One white guy surrounded by six crazy black people. Hey I pay to see that.Bottom line the funniest stuff I've seen on T.V. Whether your black, white or what ever race you are you'll be laughing when you see Chappelle.
