IWasBored said:i disagree with him, i think he's an idiot. but then again, many people might say the same about me for agreeing with palace hero.
IWasBored said:i don't like you either, remember?

headache, you like chris rock, don't you?
I show this to everyone I get a chance too, they just die everytime. Never seen anything like it.the blind black white supremicist skit from his very first show is absolute comic genius.
people who use the old "if i said that joke i'd be called a racist" line worry me...
DeadMansParty said:Ive personally never found race comedy very funny, these two comedians only use that, and it gets very old. I wish Dane Cook, nick swardson, or (rip) mitch hedburg had a show, now thats funny stuff. Creative.
some people prefer the play it safe brand of humor. and frankly there's nothing wrong with that. i, for one, do not.

And just because you pick the opposing side in every argument doesn't make you right, either.

chris rock is the funniest man in america right now. hands down. and :gasp: he makes jokes about race, too.
people who use the old "if i said that joke i'd be called a racist" line worry me...
yes... chappelle has skits that deal with race... the "niggar" family, the race drafts, the black whtie supremecist, etc. but most of his satires, muck like rock, have to deal with blacks themselves. jon stewart pokes fun at the jewish religion quite often on his show... is he an anti-semite? of COURSE not.
all great comics are those who are willing to take riks... push the envelope... be it george carlin, richard pryor, robin williams, eddie murphy, jerry seinfeld or chris rock. dave chappelle is no different.
the blind black white supremicist skit from his very first show is absolute comic genius. it's not just some guy throwing out simple stereotypes and pretending they're funny... i.e. howard stern. this is satire at it's absolute finest.
and as for the statement that the only thing he can do is make comments about race...
the tyrone biggums skits, the r.kelly skit, samuel jackson beer, charlie murphy's true hollywood stories, a day in the life of lil' jon, the internet skit, making the band, kneehigh park, the oprah's pregnant skit and the wayne brady skit... all have absolutely nothing to do with race, and all are insanely funny... and those are just the ones that i can remember off the top of my head.
to say that dave chapelle is a racist is absolutely rediculous.
truely great comedy is no different than any other art form... the great ones are the ones that take risks rather than just play it safe. thus why a tv show like friends is simply funny, while seinfeld is legendary comic genius. play it safe vs. take risks. jay leno... play it safe. david letterman... take risks. in other art forms- paul mccartney... play it safe. john lennon... take risks.
