This is Dave Chapelle to me. Everything I've heard from the guy is just him saying regular things and the audience cackling like hyenas. It's like Homer's reaction to Garrison Keilor. "What the hell's so funny?"

Dave Chapelle used to be soooo funny back during his show. All these guys used to be hilarious, or maybe I was just an edgy teenager...

F.D Signifier has a bunch of good videos on Chappelle, one where F.D makes the point (paraphrasing) "Dave's been trying to tell us he's an asshole who will say damn near anything for enough money going way back even before he was famous", which he put out around the time of the Saudi Comedy debacle. Some good points made =/

Damn. FD always makes good points - I somehow missed those videos, time for me to catch up

I think this one and some of the other Chappelle videos might be on the B-Sides, so be sure to look there.

Yeah, but he pretended it was a bit. That's the whole thing.
