Dave Chappelle on Quitting His Show


Jangler

Recommended Posts

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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
