FAIZON LOVE SAYS THAT DAVE CHAPPELLE IS THE WACKEST NGA OUT!

[The Lonious Monk]

I'm late, but ya'll niggas trippin with the In Living Color comparison. I remember that shit being funny as hell, but I caught reruns like a decade or so after it went off air and that shit was very hit or miss. Meanwhile a decade later and the Chappelle show is still funny as hell.

 

[Moore7s]

There are different kinds of funny.. Chapelle has the ability to talk about social issues in a way that no other current comic can rival. Rock had the same ability but he's not active in stand up at the moment

I think Eddie has the kind of funny that Hart tries to emulate (story telling, impersonations, etc). The difference is Eddie also has written GREAT movies and pioneered the business model everyone else is using now.

They have different contributions but I still think Dave is great.

Faizon usually comes off as a reasonable guy but he's tripping on this one

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

Lets get a few things clear:

• 1. Chapelle has always been funny as sh*t... " even when he was kicking in doors as a dominos pizza delivery boy"

on death comedy jam

• 2. I can agree that Black people on average weren't checking for Chapelle until after the Chapelle show became hugely successful.

*Before then Chris Rock was all the rage and he had black peoples attention.

So While a lot of black comedians were on their " white people do this... and black people do that!.. hahahaha" or something church related like Arnez J or Ricky Smiley, comic view was the black comedians only source of public exposure for the most part.

Chapelle's natural delivery and creative story telling set him apart from other black comedians... it was just a matter of time.

Don't speak that truth, Dave's Dandelions gonna have a fit up in here.

Aye, I said the sketch where they had Jamie Foxx in drag singing with them wasn't as funny as Mayer doing the music skit, don't get shit twisted on some BCotton tip.

I think Chappelle Show got some of y'all gassed into believing Dave is a better stand-up than he really is. He gots alot of stand-up to make you crack a smile...but not alot of shit to make u crack up.

Eddie & Chris Rock have way more crack-up material

Comedy is one of those things thats hard to argue. A persons perference of comedy isnt gonna represent how everyone feels, lots of folks dont laugh at the same shit. You could be in the minority or the majority, but another person cant convince you that something you dont find funny actually is. You laugh or you dont.

Only thing to put on the table is who's more successful and not stealing jokes. And whatever evidence there is.

 

[Ip man]

Same cats that say Ain't funny but will turn around and say Kat Williams is funny...

So what are we arguing here, because Dave made his name off the Chapelle show. Faizon was trash-talking the TV show. Eddie and Rock my be the best two stand ups ever, but Dave had arguably the GOAT comedy sketch show.

Everyone has strength/weaknesses. Eddie is the most consistent because he had success in all areas. Dave is a great standup, and had the GOAT comedy show. Rock is arguably the best standup, but his acting career has been garbage to be honest. On SNL he wasn't funny at all, and his movies have always been weak. Then you got a Seinfeld who made a GOAT level sitcom, but wasn't all that funny at standup and never had a movie career.

We can go through the list of comedians through time, and I would say Dave is right up near the top. Not #1, but not overrated either.

No comedian had a run like Eddie in the 80s and early 90s. He got wayyyy to many classic moments in the rafters.

Eddie is dope, Chris Rock probably my favorite stand up comic ever...but you can't sit here and say Dave's "How old is 15 really" bit from For What It's Worth ain't funny as fuck

 

[TheGOAT]

Fuck all that hate on his Netflix specials

The Age of Spin is the best special from him IMO

I love Dave's show when it was on and some of his stand up's are good but I do think most black people weren't fucking with him like that until his show. I never heard him mentioned with the greats or barely at all until his show.

Not to mention I feel Chris Rock is the better comedian to me. But it is kind of not fair to put Dave against guys like Eddie and Chris because they are legends and he is still paving his way.
