the charlie murphy bits are pure brilliance.

and yeah an hour is needed.

I only saw this show for the first time last week (my friend Dave had a couple episodes on tape) and I will be DAMNED if I'm going to start hating already. All the skits mentioned (well, the one's that I've seen) made me laugh. Hell, the Lil Jon skit made me finally appreciate "Damn!" (which before I found kind of generic....OKAY!!!)

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 22:34 (twenty-two years ago)

oh wait. I'll hate on the musical parts. It's like a scary reminder that he means well.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 22:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I know the performance of Mos Def in the car is on the DVD. I like it, but it's really short.
I just have to say that I think the Mad Real World is really funny, esp Dave as Tron

― Mitchell (Mitchell), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 22:42 (twenty-two years ago)

It was a bit long, imo. I love Chappelle but the "XXXXXXXXX, bitch!" gimmick can get old. (see: most ilx posts)

now lets not exclude everyday conversation with this, either.

its only funny when I do it, anyways.

I want to know why Lil' Jon is always wearing a cap from my alma mater. I mean, he's from the ATL?

that last bit was pretty good.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 4 March 2004 03:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I am intrigued by the sound of this show.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 4 March 2004 03:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Thank you, the nedfox.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 4 March 2004 03:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Thursday, 4 March 2004 03:51 (twenty-two years ago)

OK, that monologue from tonight's "When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong" = SO FUCKING CLASSIC.

― Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Thursday, 4 March 2004 03:55 (twenty-two years ago)

agreed. that was much better than last weeks.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 4 March 2004 03:56 (twenty-two years ago)

hmm, kayne. . .i'm really not pro-the music bit. more comedy please! I mean, shit, I could watch 106 and Park if I wanted to see this shit.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 4 March 2004 03:57 (twenty-two years ago)

And his World Series of Dice character with the Bogart-lip cig better become a recurring character

― Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Thursday, 4 March 2004 03:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Thank you, the nedfox.

I like that! :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 4 March 2004 03:57 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah it's only a half-hour show and one whole segment is taken up by music guests? damn lazy stoner can't write enough material to fill a whole show.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 4 March 2004 03:58 (twenty-two years ago)

although i have to say this kitchen setting with the second MC cooking somehting in the background when he's not on the mic is pretty good.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 4 March 2004 03:59 (twenty-two years ago)

What season is it in, now?

I'm a fan of the show but regularly tune in. Chappelle is my all time favorite racist, for Half Baked alone. Genius.

I always laugh out loud at at least ONE thing in the show. The only other thing that makes me laugh out loud without fail is The Onion.

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Thursday, 4 March 2004 04:33 (twenty-two years ago)

This is the second season.

and I hope you're joking about the "racist" bit.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 4 March 2004 04:35 (twenty-two years ago)

haha keep it real, sam

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 4 March 2004 05:06 (twenty-two years ago)

"WU-TANG!"

Clackity clackity * 50.

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 4 March 2004 05:52 (twenty-two years ago)

three weeks pass...

Making the Band and the beer commercial were weak, but Snoop's 'Dangle' made up for any shortcomings in the episode..

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 25 March 2004 06:25 (twenty-two years ago)

worst episode ever, huh? missed the first sketch, but my friends agreed with milo that it was lame.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 25 March 2004 06:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I hope they aren't running out of the funny already. The Oprah skit wasn't that great, two bad ones this week, Lil' Jon got old quick.

But the puppets had me rolling. Maybe it's juvenile, the show is weakest when he holds back on the offensive content.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 25 March 2004 06:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I remember laughing somewhat often last week. I also think I remember being a bit tipsy.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 25 March 2004 06:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought the Sesame Street style song was genius.

― Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 25 March 2004 16:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I spit hot fiah!

― ModJ (ModJ), Thursday, 25 March 2004 16:32 (twenty-two years ago)

this guy was in the nutty professor, right?

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 25 March 2004 16:32 (twenty-two years ago)

however, next week's promise of "The Player-Hatah Club goes back in time" seems so enticing...

― Kingfish Hypercolor (Kingfish), Thursday, 25 March 2004 16:35 (twenty-two years ago)

i was glad to see snoop perform 'deep cover' last night. i thought we were due for some more of the more recent crap that snoop is responsible for. the making the band was pretty fun, but the rest was garbage.

― bill stevens (bscrubbins), Thursday, 25 March 2004 18:07 (twenty-two years ago)

you guys are all bitter fat girls

― dean! (deangulberry), Thursday, 25 March 2004 18:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I think so far this season has been somewhat consistent in its hit-and-miss ratio, if that makes any sense. usually if most of an episode is weak, there'll be at least one skit that will reward you for bothering to watch. this week it was definitely the Making The Band 2 parody, although you might have to be an avid watcher of the show to get some of the jokes, but I was fucking dying.

― Al (sitcom), Thursday, 25 March 2004 19:06 (twenty-two years ago)

also, when Lil Jon was on TRL the other day, I'm positive he was actually doing an impression of Chappelle's impression of him. he would even answer questions by saying "WHAT?".

― Al (sitcom), Thursday, 25 March 2004 19:07 (twenty-two years ago)

al otm.

― dean! (deangulberry), Thursday, 25 March 2004 19:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I really liked the Oprah sketch from a few nights ago, along w/ the jury selection bit, but last night's ep. was terrible.

― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Thursday, 25 March 2004 19:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't believe anyone would pick Making the Band over the puppets.

"I get so much puppet ass..."

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 25 March 2004 20:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Okay, to each their own, but I thought the jury selection bit was tedious. Chappelle gave us his ultimate take on the U.S. legal system in Season 1 when he had that opera singer sing that the police never seriously looked for Biggie or Tupac's killers.

― j.lu (j.lu), Friday, 26 March 2004 00:04 (twenty-two years ago)

The jury selection bit was bad enough I completely forgot about.

I liked the skits earlier in this season when he had the stockbroker treated like a crack dealer and vice versa.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Friday, 26 March 2004 00:08 (twenty-two years ago)

"then the defendant's wife threw her titties in my hands, your honor"

― oops (Oops), Friday, 26 March 2004 00:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought the making the band episode was hella funny. I watch that show all the time so i know what he was talking about, but even if i didnt chappelle acting like P.Diddy was funny all by itself!

― Marie Reed, Wednesday, 31 March 2004 20:10 (twenty-two years ago)

the jury sketch was too long, but the video at the end("...and his gramma would have to be there, too!") was great.

― Kingfish Hypercolor (Kingfish), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 20:16 (twenty-two years ago)

This episode had me PEEING. The Oprah skit was ridiculously funny.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 20:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I loved that bit with arsenio. WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME THIS CHEESE WAS SO FUCKIN GOOD??

― bill stevens (bscrubbins), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 20:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I loved the bit with Arsenio because it was so random and silly.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 20:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I fear that if tonight's show is no good, my friend will put Dave's balls in a vice. He seems genuinely pissed off that "the last two episodes have been horrible".

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 20:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sure Dave is terrified.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 20:50 (twenty-two years ago)

is your friend the president?

― bill stevens (bscrubbins), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 20:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Hating all comedy is a fine and reasonable position to take, but posting it on comedy threads is pointlessly antagonistic.

― This is Dance Anthems, have some respect (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 4 January 2024 09:45 (two years ago)

that may have been a fairer summation, even if i think doing so every now and again as a confirmation is probably fine

i was ofc speaking generally

― close encounters of the third knid (darraghmac), Thursday, 4 January 2024 09:58 (two years ago)

Gary Gulman, another non-mean comedian (although he can be pretty mean to himself).

― CthulhuLululemon (Ye Mad Puffin), Thursday, 4 January 2024 12:36 (two years ago)

Gulman is one of the funniest guys I've ever seen. We caught him again back in November and he absolutely killed it.

... hold up one sec here.

― stephen miller is not your friend (Eric H.), Thursday, 4 January 2024 13:08 (two years ago)

there are things within that category that are probably worth saving but there is something inherently authoritarian about standup comedy. the non-awful standups are like enlightened despots.

― Left, Thursday, 4 January 2024 13:30 (two years ago)

― the new drip king (DJP), Thursday, 4 January 2024 13:30 (two years ago)

Why standup comedy specifically and not, say, slam poetry, or one-person theatrical shows?

― the new drip king (DJP), Thursday, 4 January 2024 13:31 (two years ago)

because nobody has ever defended those tbf

To the quaveringly earnest strains of Daydreaming by Radiohead, he smokes a cigarette in silhouette, as if taking a cue from Dewey Cox to think about his whole life before he goes onstage.

Does this mean Radiohead OK'd the use of its music for him? Wasn't one of the Radiohead guys caught up in some at least fleeting transphobic twitter thing?

― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 4 January 2024 14:51 (two years ago)

Jonny Greenwood

― Little Billy Love (Tom D.), Thursday, 4 January 2024 14:58 (two years ago)

There’s the Hot Pockets guy, I don’t think he thinks he’s, like a philosopher with his lantern looking for one honest man

I saw a recent clip of Gaffigan on Bill Maher's show gently pushing back against Maher's anti-Union bullshit.

Gaffigan's most recent special is pretty fucking dark. Not quite Marc Maron dark, but definitely in that neighborhood.

― Tahuti Watches L&O:SVU Reruns Without His Ape (unperson), Thursday, 4 January 2024 16:15 (two years ago)

When Gaffigan denounced Trump there were loads of butthurt conservatives whining about how he wasn't supposed to talk about politics

― Beyond Goo and Evol (President Keyes), Thursday, 4 January 2024 16:21 (two years ago)

Gaffigan’s segments on CBS Sunday Morning are getting to be almost suicidally depressed.

― Chris L, Thursday, 4 January 2024 17:00 (two years ago)

No that would be me, watching Gaffigan's CBS Sunday Morning segments

― stephen miller is not your friend (Eric H.), Thursday, 4 January 2024 17:04 (two years ago)

(jk I fast forward through them)

Huh, hadn’t been following him recently.

― Expansion to Mackerel (Boring, Maryland), Thursday, 4 January 2024 17:57 (two years ago)

going back up to Katt Williams upthread (I missed that discussion)...I'm a little lukewarm on the praise he's getting for his interview, not because I disagree with the central points he's making, or anything like that, but because he always seems to sidestep his own toxic past.

he told a Mexican heckler to "go the fuck back to Mexico" in an unhinged rant, and never really adequately apologized for it, as well as physically assaulting a 17 year old, physically assaulting a woman at a hotel and leaving visible bruises, and beating an 18 year old with a bottle. He never really took accountability from what I could see, blamed the people he assaulted most of the time.

He seems to have left that behind and I did enjoy his last special and I do like the dude, and don't want him to be 'cancelled' or anything, but if he's crate-digging into other people's pasts as far back as he's going, why couldn't he take the opportunity to admit his own role in toxicity, rather than elevating himself above the people he's critiquing?

idk...I still found his last special funny.

― Disco Biollante (Neanderthal), Thursday, 11 January 2024 22:56 (two years ago)

Williams is definitely not a 100% good dude, and there are several moments in that interview where the host asks him about shit that might reflect badly on him and he freezes up and goes very noticeably silent for a long time before answering in a much more measured fashion than when he's discussing other subjects. So yeah. Agree.

― Tahuti Watches L&O:SVU Reruns Without His Ape (unperson), Thursday, 11 January 2024 23:52 (two years ago)

one year passes...

Watched the new special and our dude has definitely entered his villain era. Like I think he's def playing up being a wrestling-style heel at this point. Doing bits about buying real estate and killing audience members with falcons and taking Saudi money and sextupling down on the trans jokes — def interesting to hear this stuff landing with different levels of enthusiasm/support from a stadium audience. Still our most compelling public speaker even if I don't agree with him a lot these days
