I love comedy. I've been watching stand up comedy, comedians, doing comedy since I was 14 years old (I'm 32 now). Even with my slightly biased preference for male black comedians, I have to digress and say that Chappelle is a mediocre, at best above average, stand up talent. I saw his stand up act, forgot what it was called already -- pretty forgettable, on DVD several years ago and thought he was just okay. He had some funny bits about cops sprinkling crack on people, but overall I wasn't laughing so hard I couldn't see.
This stand up act confirms my assessment that Dave Chappelle is great at doing sketch comedy on his TV shows, but his stand up material just doesn't fly. I think it has partly to do with the fact that the material on his show is co-written by his good friend, Brennan, and fellow actors on the show. There were some funny parts on his stand up act. I thought the middle segue about Jah Rule, talking at his old high school, getting stoned with white folks was pretty hilarious. The s*#! streak on his shirt was plain out riotous. But, almost 80 percent of his act was just amusing at best, forgettable for the most part.
I would say the funniest s*#! I have heard in recent years is Dave Attell's Skanks for the Memories. I had it playing on the CD player on my drive home from Santa Cruz, and it was NON STOP hardcore laughing the whole 60 minutes. There were times when I was laughing so hard, I couldn't see and almost drove off the road! That dude is PURE talent. Another great act that I saw recently was on Jamie Foxx's Def Jam Comedy DVD's. His name is Lavelle Crawford, and that fat black bastard had me rolling so hard, I had to stand up cause I was laughing so damn hard! Even Jamie Foxx's last stand up act in Oakland was unbelievable. His bit about Bill Clinton had me cramped over laughing so hard! Although, his first stand up release on DVD totally sucked.
Anyways, Dave, go back to doing your TV show. Your stand up isn't so hot.
