Touches You

Just perfect...

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

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!

Dave Chappelle is a genius. He takes racist stereotypes and skewers them in the funniest ways imaginable. Some critics say he is too foul mouthed and crude, but walk into any middle school in America and you'll hear 11-year-olds saying worse stuff than he does. Dave is a brilliant comic and it's a shame this hilarious show didn't last longer. If you've never seen it, SEE IT!! Some of the best sketches:"Black Bush"- Dave imagines what it would be like if President Bush was black. The part about the UN was superb."Trading Spouses"- Trading Spouses has gone interracial with hilarious results!"World Series of Dice"- Live from the Marcy Projects in Brooklyn, New York!"Clayton Bigsby"- oh my goodness, BREAHTAKINGLY HILARIOUS!!! How did Dave think of something so clever, so perfect as a blind, black white supremacist?"The Mad Real World"- that was so funny I was in tears. "The Niggar Family"- a hilarious and surprisingly insightful look at racial epithets"True Hollywood Stories": the Rick James one is hilarious, but the Prince one is really funny, too, especially if you are a Prince fan.And the best of all:"The Racial Draft"- the funniest thing I've seen in a long, long time. Watch Chappelle's Show and you won't be disappointed!

The Chappelle is just brilliant. Especially Season 2. I was hard pressed to find a skit that I didn't throughly enjoy. Its timely humour combined with timeless social commentary. The musical guest appearances where amazing. I really enjoyed performance by Kanye West and Common. I didn't the any of the skits form the "Lost Episodes a.k.a. what was supposed to Season Three". Don't get me wrong. Charlie Murphy and Downell Rawlings are very funny. They are great character actors that are part of a brilliant ensemble cast but only Dave Chappelle can really do these skits just with his monologues. I am not a fan of the way the media seemed to portray Chappelle as having a emotional breakdown because he couldn't handle the pressure. This was how it seemed to be spun to me. Chappelle was given a boatload of money by Comedy Cental for season three. Chappelle went to Africa because he "crazy". Give me break. This show stands on its own. I really believe that he didn't walk away from his show because of the pressure. I think he betrayed philosophically by a number of people around. Especially Comedy Central. That is why he felt that he had to make "Block Party". To explain his actions to his fans. Isn't about brand extension or merchandising? Its about people. A connection between himself and his fans. His material spoke to me personally. Made me think. He could really mix it up. He wasn't one dimensional in the sense that he would strictly use stand-up comedy or throw in a random joke here and there to "spice things up".

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.
