Ten years since the debut of Chappelle's Show. I can't believe it's been that long.
Discuss! It's a celebration bitches!

I will always have a soft-spot for Prince coming out to play basketball in the same cloths he wore to the club.

Loved the Grantland article for the concept alone but I had a few problems with the choices. "Black Bush" getting knocked out before the Final Four was lame and I really thought "Playa Hater's Ball" should have been in the Elite Eight. "Reparations 2003" also got knocked out too early in my opinion. I guess it doesn't matter because I agree with {Spoiler}Clayton Bigsby being the #1 sketch. Overall I'm reminded of just how funny this show was and just how many quotes I still have memorized. |

My personal favorite skits were Black Bush, Clayton Bixby, pretty much all of the "true stories" with Charlie Murphy, and the Real World

Chappelle's Show was all about quality over quantity. It was only 2 seasons and maybe 1/3 of that thrown together season he walked out on, and yet, it's still so justifiably highly revered. You have to wonder how many more quality seasons he could've cranked out if things went differently in his professional/personal life.
Favorite skits:
The N Family (not sure if I can type their name here without getting another warning), The Black White Supremacist, the numerous Tyrone crackhead skits, his GTA parody, the new Tupac club song, the internet IRL, the Sesame Street drug skit, Chappelle's life story, Piss On You music video, OJ court room sketch, Sam Jackson Beer, Black Gallagher, I Know Black People game show, and the race draft where Dave plays the stereotypical white guy. "You got yourself a god damn deal" cracks me up every single time.

When I first saw commercials for this, I thought this was gonna be one of the dumbest shows in Comedy Centrals history.
Then I watched the premiere and loved it ever since.

Chappelle's P. Diddy impression in the Making The Band sketch is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. All of my love for this show. All of it.

One of my favorite shows ever and one I quote daily, that article is awesome and nails it. Personally, my favorite skit is the Player Hater's Ball because it's one I quote regularly (especially "Next person that interrupts me is gettin' shot, believe that." and "I thank the Lord for giving everybody else so much and me so little.") but there's no way that Bigsby isn't the most import sketch that show ever did. I now end this post with the funniest thing from that that people with my unfortunate melanin deficiency can quote, "Dump Truck."
