This is the first time I've ever seen the Dave Chapelle Show.
And I have to say, I'm laughing.

Enzymes and shit. LOL.

Why have I never seen this show before? I like the format--him talking to the audience and introducing the skits.

10. Black Bush is the funniest thing I've seen on TV in the past 5 years...
with the possible exception of Triumph the Insult Dog's appearances at the StarWars Premiere and in "spin alley" during the debates.

6. No kidding
At first he was confused about the popularity of his “Vote for Rick James” signs, having never seen the show.

Friends then informed him about the sketch, in which comedian Dave Chappelle dresses as James and utters a catch phrase beginning, “I’m Rick James ... ”

Even when dropping off his 15-year-old daughter at school, James said he can hear people sometimes yelling the phrase.

The popularity of the signs has stretched far beyond Hattiesburg. James has heard that his signs have been spotted up to 100 miles from the south Mississippi city. James also has be informed by local college students that his signs are often seen in dorm windows.

James, a former state mental health department worker, estimates that $600 in signs have been stolen. And with only three weeks left until the May 3 primary election, James said he’s down to his last 10 signs.

“It makes it hard to run a serious campaign,” James said.

5. Oh

Wait until you see the Prince episode

Visit the bathroom before viewing
and no eating or drinking until after the show.

17. R Kelly did not find that one funny
and he complained that Dave had no right to go make a video about someone doing that type of thing.
(Which is how R Kelly got into that mess in the first place.)

I miss Comedy Central. I turned my brother on to him a few months back, and we nearly peed ourselves laughing at Black President Bush. And he's a Chimp supporter!

24. Speaking of Rick James....
2005 -- A HATTIESBURG, Miss., policewoman and her husband found out the hard way how popular Dave Chappelle's Comedy Central show is - especially his catch phrase, "I'm Rick James, bitch!" Diane James' husband, Rick James, is running for Hattiesburg City Council.

She wrote to Comedy Central: "Due to the popularity of the Dave Chappelle show, people keep stealing our 'Vote Rick James' yard signs ... we would appreciate a small campaign donation for more signs, as we are working-class people and financing this campaign out of our own pockets. Each time a sign is stolen, it costs us $4.75!

Every time a 'Rick James' piece runs on your show, we stand to lose dozens of signs overnight, which end up decorating people's front yards and dorm rooms ... the yard signs have been spotted at least 100 miles from our home by truckers ...

Also, young children on bikes scream, 'I'm Rick James, bitch!' as we drive by in our car with our 'Rick James' car signs ... People even drive by our home and scream, 'Super Freak.'" No word on whether Comedy central will pitch in for more signs.

39. Wait for "Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories"
of Rick James and Prince.

"Prince can play a hell of a game of basketball. If you don't believe me, challenge him! Challenge him! But make sure you have your people there, 'cuz you're gonna get beat down!"

Interviewer: "So what happened after the game?"

Charlie Murphy: "Well, we all went inside and Prince served us pancakes."
