Re: ROFLMPAO!!!
 

Okay maybe I am uptight- but I did NOT see the humor in the Niggar family. I cringed the entire time . . .I think he is riding a fine line allowing "others" to use that term - I am waiting for a little white kid to relay that skit to one of his friends, be overheard by a little brother and get socked in the mouth. "ot:eek: (not that i am promoting that - but I can see it). I don't know - I just wasn't amused - my friends, however, thought it was hilarious. I guess he is attempting to take the edge and negativity away from the word - use it and erase the negative connotations, but there is so much history and hurt behind that word . . .something to think about.

I'm in a quandry. I watch the show and laugh at some of it--but the humor is pretty base. I sometimes wonder if the majority culture is watching and laughing with (or at) us. :(

... and yeah I know it's just a comedy show and not to take it too seriously.

Re: Re: ROFLMPAO!!!
 

i don't feel your opinion was uptight :). i see what you are saying and have felt the same way at different times. as an expectant mother, i have no intention of allow my child to watch programming that is age appropriate. i do wonder about the same things you and tonyb06 do in terms of the types of things that we as black people embrace and find humour in and how it can be interpreted or misinterpreted. some days i think we have to not take ourselves so seriously and perhaps take things for what it is.

as hateful as the word nigger is, sometimes i think it helps that we as a people have the ability to take something so awful and turn it around. i appreciate the fact that with all that our people have gone through we have the ability to laugh at ourselves to lessen the deep pain. that survivor instinct is a wonderful quality.

thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. i do hope that you at least like paul mooney. i have seen him perform and he is well worth the money and time!

"What did the five fingers say to the face?!

SLAP!

I'm Rick James B**ch!"




Lord this man is an idiot! Can't wait till tomorrow!:D

YES!!! I cannot wait!!! I caught that at the end too and started screaming with laughter. My whole apartment building knows when I am watching this show.

I......can't....breathe!!! What is wrong with Dave??? Now that was like back in the day Chapelle funny! Whoooo!:D :D :D

Lawd, Lawd, Lawd - Dave, Charlie Murphy and Rick James are STOOPID!!!!! :D :D :D

Is it me, or did Rick James look like he was wearing some kind of lip gloss??

Girl please! That was M.A.C clear lip glass lol I know my M.A.C anywhere!

CTHU, CTHU. Lemme find out Rick and I are using the same products.

Re: I loooooooove this show!!!!!!!!!
 

When they shanked that boy's daddy I was too through!

Re: Rick and make-up. If you look at his old videos "SuperFreak" etc. you will see he wore makeup. Many artists 'back in the day' wore makeup, even men. :D

But wait....
 

Why can't I get, "I'm Rick James, b**ches," out of my head?!?!?! :D Or, "Look, ya'll! It's Charlie Murphy! Darkness is spreading...!"

Ignant!

Okay, is the RJ NOW after effects of cocaine? You can barely understand what he says. :eek:

The Charlie Murphy True Hollywood Stories takes the cake. Hilarious!!! I think Rick's slurred speech is due to the drugs and didn't he have a stroke or heart attack last year?

Also Rick James, Tina Marie and Morris Day and The Time are doing an old school concert here in Detroit next month. My hubby really wanted to go see Rick but after seeing the Chappelle show and his slurred speech he is having second thoughts.

Has anyone seen him in concert lately? How did he sound?

The episode with John Mayer playing the guitar is hilarious to me.

It is so funny to see the guy in the barber shop doing the robot...he looks crazy!! :eek:

Yes he does look crazy!! Why have I been going around all weekend saying "I'm Rick James, bitch!!" It just won't get out of my head.

How come none of yall have mentioned the Love Contract skit at the beginning of the Rick James ep. . . notice how Dave called out Kobe!!?! :p

I did see that. This was my first time watching the Dave Chappell Show and I saw three back to back. I was CU the whole 1-1/2 hours. I am now officially hooked.

CT4 needs to edit the "Say What" thread and add this!!!! LOL

:eek: :D

LMAO!!! Yall stoopid.

I will get you for this--when you least expect it.
 

:p :p

CTFU! CTFU! CTFU!

"He's a super freak, he's a super freak, he's super freaky now...Temptations sing...oh, oh, oh...."
:p

Dave was wrong for that!! Lol@the Confidentiality agreement!

This show is so hilarious that my hubby almost peed in his pants the other night...while watching 'Charlie Murphy and Rick James'! TOo hilarious!

Let's sprinkle some crack on him and get out of here!
 

I have loved Dave for quite some time now! And every Wednesday... I don't drink any water past 8pm to keep myself from peeing in my pants with laughter!
My husband and I got to see him live when he came to Tampa to do a show. Again...and depends moment.

Re: Re: He's ignant...
 

RIGHT! How are the officers going to ask "Tron" when it's a good time for him to come be indicted? :p And then his foolish behind gonna say he can't come at 1:00 because he got some trim coming through... Dave Chappelle needs to be evaluated :D

SHOWTIME RE-ENTERS STAND-UP COMEDY ARENA
With ONE-HOUR SPECIAL starring DAVE CHAPPELLE

New York, NY, October 27, 2003 -- SHOWTIME makes its return to the stand-up comedy milieu with comedian Dave Chappelle. The deal, which was announced today by Robert Greenblatt, President of Entertainment for Showtime Networks Inc., calls for Chappelle to star in an upcoming one-hour comedy special. The special will be taped from a live event during the spring of 2004 at a venue to be determined. It is slated to air in early summer.

SHOWTIME has a rich history in stand-up comedy and has spawned the careers of such talent as Tim Allen, Garry Shandling, Ellen DeGeneres, Denis Leary, Brett Butler, Robert Schimmel, and many others. The network also broadcast the Montreal Just For Laughs International Comedy Festival for a number of years with such hosts as Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, Lily Tomlin, Kelsey Grammer, the late John Candy and others.

Robert Greenblatt stated, "SHOWTIME is proud to return to its stand-up roots. There are some very edgy and talented comedians out there and we want to showcase them. Now more than ever, the American public has a huge appetite for great humor. Dave Chappelle is a polished comedian whose irreverent commentary goes way beyond his young years. I'm thrilled that someone with his talent is on board with SHOWTIME as we come back to stand-up in a very big way. Comedy connoisseurs out there are in for a very big treat."

Chappelle, one of comedy's preeminent stars, earlier this year completed his DAVE CHAPPELLE IS BLACKZILLA COMEDY TOUR, which hit 60 markets with 95 sold-out shows over a 12-week run. This past winter marked the debut of the critically lauded "Chappelle's Show" on Comedy Central, which will begin its second season in January 2004. Additionally, he has appeared in his own one-hour comedy special, "Killin' Them Softly." Theatrically, Chappelle was most recently seen in the Universal Pictures feature UNDERCOVER BROTHER opposite Eddie Griffin. His other feature film roles include Mel Brook’s ROBIN HOOD: MEN IN TIGHTS, THE NUTTY PROFESSOR, CON AIR, HALF BAKED, YOU'VE GOT MAIL and BLUE STREAK.

Chappelle is represented by UTA, Rick Greenstein and attorney Matt Johnson.

Oh crap, I thought the show was moving......:o I got hype for nothing.........:(
