Dave Chappelle is thinking about revisiting ‘Chappelle’s Show’

[xXOGLEGENDXx]

It wouldn't be near the same, but my goodness Netflix, or whatever platform, would break if this happened.

He could do like 3 episodes and walk away with well over $100M+

 

[UpThruDere]

if he doesn’t want people to watch it, sure.

Druski's last skit almost has 100 million views, I mean it's cool to be a hater be let's not be retarded

 

[Da Jungles]

It doesn’t have to better than, what it was or the same.

Just be funny. That is what matters.

I promise y’all would enjoy a lot more things in life if you didn’t make your mind up before you experience it.

Don't think he would have the same silly energy he used to have

 

[Methodical]

I would rather he leave it alone, don't even bother. Look what happened to Coming to America 2 and it's trash as fukk. Leave the classic alone.

I ain’t a Druski fan at all but he should have his own show with his own writers/staff.

Peopke actually think he’s the guy right now. He should find one of his peers and get his own show poppin. As for this… I mean I’m cool with the old show but I won’t tell Dave to not do it.

Unless you were there, you’d have to understand the timing and cultural significance of Chappelle’s show.

This was first broadcasted in January 2003. We were less than 2 years removed from 9/11. America was in a somber place. Bush had ‘won’ a clearly rigged election. The Iraq war had just started. Everything seemed dark and despondent.

Chappelle’s show was needed to hold the mirror up to America and its jingoism it was sliding into. The 90s seemed like a relic compared to the fascist era America was becoming.

Satire is needed at times like that and Chappelle’s show was the perfect vehicle for it. The right amount humor and levity was what made the show a cultural phenomenon. That reparations sketch was way ahead of its time.

However, with Charlie Murphy and Paul Mooney now no longer with us, it just wouldn’t have that same bite that it had.

The landscape of politics and comedy has changed too much for it to have the same impact. Social media and influencers have diluted entertainment to the point it’s become innocuous.

I mean, I’d still watch but I just know it would be a pale imitation of what it was.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

If I've learned anything it's that I don't want to know about it unless it's done. If he really wanted to do it it would be on the roll before they told us about it because they would be dying to churn out the ideas and present them. Creativity happens in waves.

They made Druski is funnier and more relevant

 

[Treblemaka]

Chapelle isnt that type of funny anymore. This version wouldnt be edgy, poignant, self reflective and modern. It would be self reverent, out of touch, preachy, hypocritical, and boring.

 

[My Girl is Bow Legged]

nikka finna sit on stage and do 20 minute monologues

 

[King Poetic]

Chappelle still has a huge audience especially among non blacks so he would be fine even if black folks complain.. which black folks always do

 

[BlackMajik]

No more Paul Mooney or Charlie Murphy tho

 

[pickles]

He is pro-palestine, the jews wouldn't let it happen.

Unless he says nikka a hundred times, they might let him.
