Top 5 comedian. He was brilliant from the start. Rare talent. I watched the Louis CK appearance from te same HBO series, and it doesn't even hold a candle. Louis got better with time. Also one of my favorites.
@@cebrinpitts of course both are today's top comedians and can't forget funny political views by Lewis Black my three favorites, what's a shame is the fact not really many funny women I'm a woman but women just aren't humerous like men are there are a few exceptions but very few .
I noticed in the joke at 2:48 he says "never seen anything like it," then when tells that joke in Killing Them Softly he says "I saw this once when I was a rookie." 🤔😂
I just figured out why he is in a different class from every other comedian. He is the best because of his transitions. Look at other comedians. They tell one joke every minute. Dave Chappelle tells a story. One joke can take 10 minutes. And when he is done with his 10 minute joke, the ending leads perfectly to another 10 minute joke. True genius.
If you listen with headphones you can clearly hear one guy laughing a lot louder than the rest the whole time and normally I would complain but it's a pretty good laugh actually lol
I need to watch a Dave Chappelle special at least once a month. He's just that funny!!! If you're having a bad day just put on some Dave Chappelle and you'll be right as rain. #Legend #OneOfTheG.O.A.T
I specifically looked this special up for the: "Boy, that old man in trippin'" bit. The chair/walker, facial expression and dance move makes my stomach hurt from laughing!🤘🤣🤣👏
25:52 says he hopes it doesn't make him famous. wants people to like him for who he is. years later, writes a sketch and then can't go anywhere on earth without someone yelling "I'm Rick James, bitch!" at him. then cracks from all the fame and pressure from tv contracts.
@@vickcelino326 That's where you're wrong. His jokes actually carry a very low IQ, as everything vulgar does, but what can I expect from someone who thinks this is actually witty?
One of the tightest, best, consistently funny half hour specials of all time. Regardless where you land on the Dave spectrum now, there's no denying the man is a genius and the comedy world is better for having him in it.
Varun M kevin Hart is the most overrated comedian of all time. he relies way to much on yelling and shit. not the actual substance of the material. Dave is on another level. and Kevin is a definitive and willing sell out. he puts out a new movie every 4 months and none of them are ever that good. they are always decent. but the man us all about the money. if he took his time he could pump out a real master piece that would go down in history . but instead he puts out half baked (no pun intended ) trash every few months and the premise and main character is always the same damn character .
+Jacabo Blanco That's your opinion, is it not? is someone not allowed to express their opinion and not have one person come saying their opinion trying to bash the other's? I personally like kevin hart, he's funny, but not the best out there, and ofc he has to sell out, it's his job and he has to support his family, what the fuck do you want him to do, sit there for like 3 years not even bothering to do any work and then going broke?
Ive watched this so many times in the past 10 or so years. Never would've thought this was a bad experience for Dave. This and Killing Them Softly are my top two favorite sets of his
This is maybe the 20th time I've seen this video, and it never fails. He's great, but in my book this set tops anything else he's done, 'cept Killin' Them Softly, which is a close second. "Hmm...looks like there was a struggle." LMAO!
The line "If I come man, it was RIGHT ON TIME" and hitting the floor with the microphone stand, I can hear that shit 10 times in a row and laugh every time
The lady that is laughing loudly...its not that she's laughing louder than anyone else. It's just that she's sitting close to the mic they use to record the audience laughter.
One small reason why I enjoy listening to Dave talk is because, he just talks. Simple, no yelling or getting excited most of the time. Casual conversation with his audience! ❤ And the man's phuqN hilarious 😆😂
Chappelle is an amazing comedian and satirist. Brilliant, hilarious, fresh and innovative. Since Robin Williams has now passed, Chappelle is now THE best, IMO.
True Story: I met this guy through a business acquaintance - who I soon realized was a genuine southern racist. We're in the break room and Dave Chappelle comes on the TV. He says "he's the one black I actually like". My jaw dropped. Congratulations to Dave for being the one black guy, even a white supremacist would like.
@Zara Amor You're reading way too deeply in to a stranger's anecdotal story while completely missing the point. If you want to read deeper into it read the post by Mister Miggs who puts it all in a clear and succinct way.
One of the best sets i have ever saw, this was a classic and to me the crowd help in a big way with all different types of laughter. I have been to a bunch of comedy shows but never saw Dave man !!! Dave Cheppell, Martin Laurence, Arnez J and Earthquake might be the best stand up comedians of our time along with some honorable mentions !!
20:05 So I did the calculations, reasonable time estimates: He took a shower: 20 minutes He listened to every CD he had: 1998, let's say he has 50 CDs at 60 minutes apiece: 3000 minutes He ran around the block four times: 30 minutes He took a nap: 20 minutes So, our man Dave Chapelle did all that in 1 minute! ~Such a great talent. Great to see him doing well still @ 2018.
Dave's jokes can be considered "offensive" at times to a given person. Yet, his presentation is perfect. The timing is perfect. His demeanor is perfect. He is a master of the art. So, if I get offended, I try to see the big picture. And the big picture is that he's a comic genius, I would say.
It takes a lot for me to actually laugh out loud. My friends show me stand up and I just dont think a lot of it is funny, but Dave makes me laugh my ass off

The best hands down. cut from a different cloth compared to the rest of em'
Dave freestyle sometimes
This is, minute for minute, the greatest standup special of all time. Terribly underrated. Literally not a single bad joke in the entire performance.
It's also a very good crowd which helps. Even without the great audience this would be funny but somehow the crowd makes it even better lol
Each joke was a classic
Dude was 24 years old when he made this special. Let that sink in...

Dave is so great -- his material never gets old. He is also extremely wise that he walked away from showbiz at his peak. Smart guy.
Actually he is at his peak now. 80 mill from Netflix and probably more to come.
He didn't walk away, they framed him
@@hhll9294 Given the era of comedy when he walked away, he was at his peak, he was poised to make more than most could dream of for what he was doing.
They cloned him he’s not the same person as before, he got murdered and replaced shortly after the Oprah Winfrey interview
edward villanueva 😹😹😹😹
It is also his voice that adds to the entertainment, not just the jokes itself. Absolutely hilarious.
I’ve said that about him for the longest time now, that and his facial expressions

Such a wonderful brain / humor / charisma combination.
Saying "I hope this sh*t don't make me famous" tells you how much self belief he had from the jump! Truly Legendary!
Hands down one of the greatest comedy sets ever performed. Short, but so damn sweet.
I specifically looked this special up for the: "Boy, that old man in trippin'" bit. The chair/walker, facial expression and dance move makes my stomach hurt from laughing!🤘🤣🤣👏
I seem to always come back to this for different bits, this time it was "As far as I'm concerned, I can't cum fast enough!!"
Wow, they thought he was kidding when he said he was thinking about quitting. He wasn't. He has a wonderful talent.
Gr8 Teagazr Yu know why he wanted to quit right ?
Contrxils - There’s actually more than one answer to that and they came from Dave’s mouth. Anything else is speculated nonsense.
that crackhead land lord part killed me!
26:09 - Dave is predicting the future. Absolute legend. Greatest pound for pound ever.
Yep cause he didn't want to be famous because he knew they'll come for his soul

Dave's delivery and timing on top of the comedy is just incredible. He is made for comedy.
Dave is one of the most intelligent comedians of all time.
the foreshadowing at the end is epic.

That last joke about the garbage truck. I think that inspired the Chappelle Show's:
"I'm rich bitch!"

To me this is the best half hour of comedy ever. Right up there with the Robin Williams special.
One of the greatest stand up sets ever in my opinion
