Dave Chappelle's shrewd parodies, stinging satires, and boldly imaginative fantasias simply pour from the second season of his Comedy Central show, in every respect as funny as his well-received debut year. The structure is the same: a relaxed Chappelle introduces each sketch to an enthusiastic, studio audience (some of these introductions amount to stand-up routines), and then the madness begins. Among the many highlights from the 13 episodes on this boxed set's three discs is a mock ad for Samuel L. Jackson beer, featuring Chappelle's hilarious impression of Jackson's stern, overbearing persona from Pulp Fiction, and a dozen other features. Chappelle, considering a career in politics, floats a couple of trial campaign commercials, including one that promises to solve America's health care crisis by giving every citizen a fake Canadian I.D. Chappelle also suggests an effective program for teaching sexual abstinence to high school students: Forcing them to watch their principals have sex with the oldest female teachers on staff.

There's a good bit, too, about black soothsayer Negrodamus, whose ability to foresee events is limited to the fortunes of celebrities. Coming under fire (amusingly) are those McDonald's commercials suggesting that burger-flipping employment for African Americans can overhaul inner city communities. But, as with season 1, there are several masterpieces in this collection as well, such as Chappelle's vision of what the Internet would look like if it was a place you could actually, physically visit (with the equivalents of pop-up ads, porn sites, etc.). Equally inspired is a sketch in which a freeloading Chappelle, having impregnated the ultra-rich Oprah Winfrey, indulges his every whim. Best of all is Chappelle's take on what President Bush's administration would look like if the Chief Executive were, in fact, a black man. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews

Great product
As promised, this DVD set looks and plays new! I'm very pleased. Thanks for such a quick response & quality "gently used" product.

Without Question The Strongest Season
Of the three seasons of The Chappelle Show that is out there, this one is HIGHLY recommended for those that like adult-themed comedy. To be honest, I don't think Dave could've outdid what he, Charlie Murphy, the late Rick James and others did on this season.

I can't really recommend one highlight over the other because people have different tastes. Just get it and judge for yourself. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT FOR KIDS THOUGH SO PUT THEM AND ANYONE THAT'S OFFENDED EASILY OUT OF THE ROOM FOR THIS ONE!

Chappelle Is The King of Comedy
Chappelle's humor is based on the fact that he is very observant and although most if not all comedians rely on this also, none do it better than him. If you want to laugh you cannot go wrong with this.
