    • Crazy credits
      Episode #204 began with the following disclaimer: "This episode of Chappelle's Show has been deemed more offensive than usual. Viewer discretion is advised." This was followed by a second screen: "Enjoy yourself, bitches. It's a celebration."
    • Alternate versions
      Club skit of the "Life in Slow motion" sketch, which was shown in second season, features a different music on DVD, as well as on syndication; probably due to legal issues.

    Groundbreaking Television
    This short lived television program dramatically pushed the envelope on.what was culturally and socially acceptable to show attack on television. Chappell understand human nature. He understands race issue from both sides of the aisle and he understands comedy. While he is a great stand up and storyteller he is also a great sketch comedy actor and impressionist. This show has so many funny, over the top sketches it is always hard to believe he got ways with all he did at the time. Groundbreaking. Cutting edge. Dare I say brilliant week after week b.
