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.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
