I just got back from an alternate timeline where the show is still on the air. GAF said...
I was 23. ; ;
"Blind, Black, White Supremacist -- Clayton Bigsby"
Hilarious... was such a great sketch to prove how stupid racism is. Surprised that this was in the very first episode. Was probably very risky.

Im the biggest hater!!!!
Legendary show.
I remember being extremely hyped for this when it first came out, I was around 18, and it was "a show from that really funny guy from Half Baked." It was obvious from the first episode that he had created something special. Many episodes and years later I was convinced that Dave Chappelle is a true genius and master of his craft.
The fact that he refused to sell out for Comedy Central only cemented that in my mind.

"He look like a broke ass....sexual chocolate"
he does, you can catch him in either san francisco or oakland whenever he feels like doing a show for sporadic spurts.
"Why dont you click your heels three times....and go back to Africa"

I went to a small college in the town in Ohio where he lives and watched the premiere at the town bar with his friends. Place went totally crazy.
Really hope he does something big again, though its nice getting to see him do stand-up in SF.

I really like that angry black guy (Peter Moon?) when he talks about Brad Pitt in The Mexican, Tom Cruise in the Last Samurai and then "The last nigger on Earth.....starring Tom Hanks!"
By coincidence, I went through every episode of The Chappelle Show in the past couple of days. There are some very unfunny sketches in the first couple of episodes, but by the end of Season 1 and for pretty much all of Season 2, the show was firing on all cylinders. I miss showing up to middle school (maybe freshman year of HS, I forget) and hearing random shouts of "I'm Rick James, bitch!" coming from out of nowhere. Pretty much everyone in my suburban school watched the show religiously.
It's a shame that he couldn't keep it together for Season 3 (unless there's some alternate theory of what happened that doesn't boil down to "Dave lost his gat'damn mind" that I'm not aware of). I think it could have been great for at least another season, if not more.
The episodes with Charlie Murphy and the "I'm rich, Biotch!" guy hosting were just....ugg. Some of those sketches though, like Gary Coleman as a security guard....good lord... I nearly tore out my stitches laughing the other day. He obviously had so many more ideas. Oh well.

Paul Mooney, I think you might be thinking about EA's Peter Moore lol
Agreed. I've never consider the Rick James sketch all that "funny" but the overall experience from beginning to end was just amazing.
