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

ILC broke ground and fathered alot of these shows
But i will say Chappelle>>>>>>>> any of them as comedians
smh. wtf u talkin bout nigga. this thread aint bout who is the better comedian. its show vs show.
imo its common knowledge Richard Pryor and Dave Chappelle are the 2 best stand up comedians of all time.

Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy both dominated their eras.
Foh with that other revisionist history.
The special after "bigger and blacker" was Meh.......so was "run tell dat"
Kings of comedy was good for a one shot, Katt and Kevin had a spark when they started....
Dave was cool, not no best to ever done it level though.
George Carlin was never funny just a rebel.

CS was maybe more funnier than ILC but ILC pushed more grounds and their body of work was better than CS. Of course ILC had a deeper more talented cast than CS. Half the cast parlayed movie careers from that show. Hell the Fly Girls were even celebrities. And you have to take in account the fact that was early 90's on a brand new Network (Fox) they gave K Wayans (who else besides Cosby or Arsenio was running things back then?) creative control to do what he wanted to do. They dissed everybody Milli Vanilli, Vanilla Ice Tommy Davidson with that MC Hammer skit was hilarious till this day . Just think if they were on a cable network how much funnier they could of been

Thanks for reminding me about that hilarious bit.
I was wondering why they kept highlighting "Positive Energy" and then I found out Milli Vanilli means just that in Turkish. LOL

Slave's son was tripping over how other dude was acting towards white people. Other dude was like, you been in a cave all this time, things have changed. Then they dude gets his ass kicked by the cops. Slave's son was like, guess things haven't changed that much. Deep.
Funny part when he was like, stop eyeballing that white woman! Damon and David broke character and lost it. Must have been ad-libbed.
oh god that face damon made when he heard the dogs coming classic!
ILC wins this simply based on the amount of talent that one show had. I mean think about. At one point Kenan Ivory Wayans, Jim Carrey, Tommy Davidson, Jaime Foxx, David Alan Grier, etc all worked together every week. The amount of comedic talent on that set was just unmatched. Chapelle show is funny w/o question but In Living Color is the better show
