Living Color Vs. Chappelle's Show

[TheNightKing]

Remember Lassie '93? Instead of a Collie, it was a pit bull that was tearing arms, legs, and heads off of the mailman, bill collector, landlord, etc. They were trapped and Lassie went for help and brought back a severed arm.

I've never posted a vid, and i normally don't post enough to want to learn. Maybe I'll look into it now though.

Being someone who loved both, In Living Color was by far the better show. Chapelle was a one-trick pony show (centered around race). He did that one thing better than anyone else, but In Living Color was so well rounded and the cast was crazy talented. ILC paved the way for all black sketch comedy shows. Chapelle was edgy for it's time, but ILC was even edgier for its time. Just look up the controversy they caused with their Super Bowl Halftime show.

Out of his top 10 sketches I'll say 3 are about race

List your 10 and we'll see.

Rick James

Prince

Mad Real World

Wayne Brady

Clayton Bigby

Black Bush

Race Draft

Piss on You

Slow Motion

Oprah

And many more...

Not much he did that wasn't about us and/or race in general. 2 examples I can think of that weren't about race were the real life internet and real life Grand Theft Auto, but sketches like this were few and far between.

I could do the same with ILC... Chris Rock, and other sketches

My original point was that CS was a one trick pony show centered around race, which you've conceded to.

ILC did have sketches around race, but not at such a high proportion as CS.

Either way, both great shows and even though we disagree, neither of our opinions are invalid.
