I miss Dave Chapelle

most tv sucks these days, but there are some shining examples of good writing, acting, camera work, etc... we call those Deadwood and Arrested Development. Family Guy sucks ass, though...

I miss Dave Chapelle

Post by Rollo Tomassi »

I just had the misfortune of watching an episode of In the Flow with Affion Crockett. Damn, that was some unfunny shit. Every character he played was annoying to the point I wanted to neuter him. The Bertha Control sketch was a mildly amusing idea that they misfired almost immediately.
But mostly it made me think of how awesome Chapelle's Show was. And how this wasn't that show. Avoid it. At least until it gets cancelled next week.

Haven't heard of In the Flow. I've caught some reruns of the Chapelle show recently. They are still hilarious.

Fuck yes, I miss Chapelle also.
I still watch Chapelle's Show when I see it on and they are still hilarious, even the Rick James shit still gets me rollin'.




You guys realize that show was on was 7-8 years ago?

After being MIA for a decade or more, Dave Chapelle hosted SNL this week. He resurrected a few of his Chapelle show characters for a digital sketch. And his opening monologue was pretty much an extended stand up routine. It was pretty funny.
"No Tom Foolery today, Ron. I'm tired of looking at your dreadful, speckled mug."
"Why do you hurt me in this way, Harry?"

It was unreal. The comment about the hotel & grabbing a handful had me literally crying.

So, whose bingo card had Chapelle coming back and doing standup specials that are basically him bitching about being canceled because of the trans conspiracy?

Also duck you, autocorrect! I bucking never use the term "hitching," God Damocles it!!
