Chappelle's Show is not funny

True Hollywood stories Rick James and Prince were iconic. But I can see how the super lean production value really dates the show. I think his two earlier specials at the height of his popularity are still hilarious though. Before he started lifting weights and getting jacked.
 
It was absolutely hilarious back when it came out.

It's dated but still funny now, just not as much as when I was a young 20-something.

Have you contemplated the fact that you just might be a curmudgeon, TS?

No Doubt it had cutting edge humor at the time. Plus Rick James & Charlie Murphy's couch F-up were prime hollywood then.
 
Chisled Adonis is probably the best one that comes to mind.



Lol that's better than Dave Chappelle?

Maybe there's a massive (multiple) generation divide but that was terrible. Dude's honestly one of the worst "comedians" I've ever heard.
 
Probably the best sketch comedy of all time

Can opinion
It’s certainly one of the best. Mr. Show might be my favorite. But other sketch shows have a ton of ok sketches, a bunch of shitty sketches, and a few really great sketches.
Even Mr. Show had some shit sketches. Chaplelle’s Show had very few shit sketches. Even the ones I didn’t really like managed to be funny somehow.
 
I've only recently discovered Dave Chappelle in the past few years thanks to his excellent Netflix specials. I can't think of anyone whose delivery is as good as his and his way of telling a story and mixing opinion with comedy is unmatched.

So I went back to watch his old Comedy Central show. It is not funny. Like. Barely a chuckle not funny. Like, this is painfully stupid not funny. Perhaps it was hilarious when it was cutting-edge 20 years ago, but...

I do remember the Wayne Brady skit being hilarious, but about 9 eps into the first season and I'm quite disappointed.

I welcome your derision and I hope not to be banned.

TLDR: Cheers to Chappelle's stand-up. Jeers to his Comedy Central show.
Wtf?

what’s your idea of funny?
