Sounds like he regrets it, which is too bad. But in general he looks defeated. He looks like he's aged 20 years in the last 10. Tough to see a clown and solemn. Hopefully he takes a Bill Cosby turn and becomes the sagacious, even tempered comedian an the sweatered one's absence. In general I just hope he comes back to comedy.

Hopefully he takes a Bill Cosby turn and becomes the laconic, sagacious, even tempered comedian an the sweatered one's absence. In general I just hope he comes back to comedy.

I thought the same thing. Whether it was talking about the money missed or just his tone and physical cues in general, I think he's finally looking back and at least regretting it somewhat. I know it will never happen/it's too late, but damn I would pay for him to jump in a time machine, and crank out another season or two.

 

It was one of those shows that was popular, while at the same time almost having a cult type following that still exists today. In my groups of friends, we still text each other when Chappelle's Show is on TV and will still quote it religiously in everyday conversations.

I don't know if he regrets it, as much as he is trying a little self deprecating humor

 

I have always and will always love Dave Chapelle, it would be great to seem him back. He does look like he has aged a lot.

He basically reached a paradox in which he realized that people were laughing with/at him, but maybe not for the same reasons he was aiming for.

I also think a big part of it was he got tired of the celebrity life, especially the celebrity life that Hollywood wants for black celebrities. I remember an interview or something I saw or read from him where, and he has a point, that Hollywood has, at some point, made most black male celebrities dress in drag for a part. That was something he wasn't comfortable with for himself, and didn't want to be that dude that caved in to someone elses direction while giving up his own ideals.

 

I think the status he achieved turned him into someone who no longer wanted it. He realized life was bigger than money and fame, and just wanted to get away from having to answer to anyone but himself.

Good for him.

We still quote it in every day conversation as well.

 

Playing golf just last week.....had to throw out a "for shizzle, I've always wanted to say that" when talking about Tiger

 

 

by far one of the funniest shows I think I have ever watched on a consistent basis. I thoroughly enjoy race related comedy, its funny because most of it is true. 

 

We are all different races and its funny to bring out the truth of the stereotypes with EVERY race, not just one. He really nailed it on everybody too.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
