I can see why he feels the way he does about the K&P credits, but wouldn't that also mean that he should have had other people's names who paved the way for him in the credits for his show too?
Exactly. It just makes him seem like a hater. I can understand overall resentment on how shit went down careerwise but the K&P shit is misguided.Yeah, I didn't really think what he said about them made much sense.
Other people paved the way for Dave to be able to make that show, too, but he didn't see fit to say that they created the Dave Chappelle show, it was his and his alone.
To have watched/enjoyed and been part of that cultural zeitgeist for those two/three years when Dave was on top is an experience I wouldn't trade for anything. Kids these days don't know, man.
Thecoli used to have this weird hate against Key and Peele.I love Dave but I take umbrage with what he said about Key and Peele. It's the crab in a bucket thing again - Dave left his show and expected the Earth to be salted of his comedy and format, then two guys take up the mantle and he wants to get mad. If you're so mad about it you should never have left! Don't drag these too down because they had success.
There seems to be a lot of animosity from (Black) comedians towards Key and Peele - the other day I saw something on Youtube where Aries Spears was trying to Undercover say "they aren't Black enough" and "the black community doesn't support them". Aries Spears had his heyday a generation ago on the same sketch comedy show that Key and Peele debuted on. He decided to pattern his act on tired "Black people/White People" jokes and lame ass impressions and got nowhere with it. Now he wants to talk about other people not being "supported by Blacks"? His argument is just as washed up as his comedy is.

I think you guys are taking the credits line too literally.
Was hoping for new material but these two specials are from 2015 and 2016 material. Netflix basicallly paid for archive stuff.

I was born in 95 and understand the show and his standup, it's not really a time and place thing, he's still relevant lolMy ex, who was born in 1995, did not get 90% of the show when I introduced it to her. Classic as it might be for some, it was very much a time and place kinda thing. Dylan, black Bush, Wayne Brady...all over her head.
Shame this generation doesn't get it, because at the time there was literally nothing like it. My baby boomer old man was in love with the show when it was being aired.
Born in 95 here. I totally understood Chappelle show when it was at top. My brother absolutely loved the show, so I had to watch it frequently.

The Key & Peele comment was understandable
Really? How is that out there? He's not even the first comedian to say that. Let's be honest he used two big words and it threw everything off.
He's talking about the corporate input & control of The Chappelle Show content that CC had earlier in its runtime. Clearly the long form controversial comedy sketch wasn't very prevalent before Chapelle Show. No one was really doing that. It clearly paved the way for Key & Peele making less immediate comedy sketches. So to see them sort of take ownership of that was disheartening which makes sense, although I'm sure there's no way CC would've allowed K&P to pay homage in any more obvious ways. Alot of their show was borrowed and we all know it.

UhhHe's said a lot of questionable transphobic shit in recent years. He did an interview a few months back where he basically defended Donald's sexual assault and showed this strange resentment towards LGBT and women's rights activists. It just had me worried his comeback, he's done some really great stuff in the past.
Uhh
He's a comedian man. Its literally his job to make fun of everything and anything.
If the jokes aren't funny then yeah you may have a point.If he was a bad one yeah, that would be his job. Comedy and being a comedian isn't a suit of armor from criticism
If the jokes aren't funny then yeah you may have a point.
But If the crowd is laughing then he's free to say whatever imo

For a comedy show you guys are sure taking that Key & Peele joke very seriously.
Video sadly not working in Canada,
what was that youtube thing you could do to watch blocked videos outside the US?
It was a small link change but I forgot.
On one hand, we probably missed out on a LOT of amazing Chappelle's Show and movies.
On the other hand, we didn't have to potentially watch him go down the Eddie Murphy / Martin Lawrence / Richard Pryor path
Dave just gotta let the folks know K&P just a pale imitation so Comedy Central could try and catch his magic. They had a couple good skits but they can't even shine his shoes.
If they do that, Keenen Ivory Wayans and Robert Townsend need their names at the end of The Chappelle Show

I actually grew up 10min away from the small town in Ohio he lives in. I visit there all of the time. It's very easy to see Dave wandering around. He would even come into the Target I used to work at quite often several years ago. Good dude.
That's how I felt at the time. I loved Dave and Chappelle's Show is my favorite sketch comedy show of all time. When he walked and K&P came on I had never heard of them and I absolutely felt it was CC trying to find a "black" replacement show as quickly as possible to fill the gap.
I realize now that they are totally different styles comedically but at the time I didn't give them a chance.
Six years seems like a long time to find a "fast replacement"
