Sad.
I went back and tried to watch it and I couldn’t. Not that it hasn’t aged well, the problem is that humor needs surprise and everything in the show has become so deeply embedded in our society (“I’m Rick James bitch!”) that it was weird on some level.
Other comedies have been good, but that show is transcendent.

Kinda short lived I thought but definitely in the conversation. There were moments that I don't think will ever be matched.Dennis_DeYoung said:

The brief clip of the gay landscaper dancing along with the lawnmower probably made me laugh more suddenly and harder than anything I've ever seen on TV.chuck said:

It really is insane how many of Chappelle's skits made it into the greater zeitgeist. Just on this bored (full of crackers, no less) we frequently reference Clayton Bigsby, "I'm rich, bitch", when keepin it real goes wrong, darkness brothers, "game. blouses", I wrote this song a long time ago, the racial draft and Tyrone Biggums, not to mention we have a poster named @SilkyJohnston.Dennis_DeYoung said:

And that doesn't include arguably the two most transcendent gags from the show - "I'm Rich James Bitch" and "What/Yeah/Okay" which were everywhere for about five years after they aired. Or other ingenious bits like Meet The Niggars and Ask A Black Man.
Insanely great show. -
True greatness is obvious even in short-term increments ...chuck said:

Forget even the entire Chappelle Show run, it's the 1st season that will never be duplicated. The 2nd season was ok ... but the 1st was at its own level. -
The Clayton Bigsby sketch is on the short list for best sketches of all time. What made it so great when you watched it the first time is that you knew it was going to have a payoff at the end but you didn't know what it was going to be. Then, when you got the payoff it was the perfect end to the first episode. Absolute brilliance.dnc said:

I've always thought that the Mad Real World was underrated. -
Chappelle Show isn't even the top comedy. At best, it's in the top 5.

I've gotta admit my two favorite shows ever are both cartoons. Simpsons for the first ten years or so and South Park have eaten up more if my time than anything else ever filmed. They must be that good.
