Dave Chappelle - For What It's Worth (2004)

Fear of a Chappelle Planet

Dave Chappelle is the most talented comedian we have out of the current generation being groomed for stardom. Now I know what those that aren't familiar with the comedic ranks will say something like, "Well I've heard so many great things about this Dane Cook guy." Well that's your first mistake, comparing Dane Cook to a comedian (Cook's well known for plagiarism, just ask Robin Williams. Where do you think Dane got the run around stage frantically routine?).
But back to Dave, you know how you can tell he's entertaining - by showing how much fun he's having on stage. And he does that here, you can see it when he tells a joke and then stumbles like he does on this DVD under the fit of his own joy.
The topics he uses are wonderful, and if you like Chappelle Show then you'll know what i'm talking about. He touches on everything you'd exect from the show. I won't go into it cause i'll let Dave offend you if you're too sensitive.
I've lent this to a number of my friends, always wanting to watch it one more time before i give it up, showing you how confident how much this is a great DVD.
The best way to put it: This will be one of those stand up routines you'll be repeating lines from to others. February 3, 2008

Side Splitter!

The first time I watched this video, I was with my husband who recently died of cancer. He loved funny videos and this one took us both so far out of our sorrow and into our "Happy Place!" I laughed so hard that my husband kept saying to me, "Pammie! Breathe! Breathe!" I couldn't catch my breath! The part about the "hold up" on the bus... OMG! That was hillarious! And the monkey! It went on and on... I didn't get a breather until it was completely OVER because it was funny, start to finish - true Dave Chappelle style! It was GREAT! And Thanks Dave, for the laughs, when laughs weren't always easy to come by... This will always be one of my favorite stand-up comedies of all time! January 8, 2008

I swear, it gets better each time I see it.

This is one of the best stand-up specials I've seen in my life thus far, and easily my favorite by Dave Chappelle. He really is at the top of his game here, and shows why he was such a highly respected comedian and entertainer. Most of the bits here are simply hilarious, and even the bits that are less than great are still far better than most other comics out there (*cough* Dane Cook *cough*). I've seen this special over a dozen times, and his delivery here is so spot-on, and his timing so perfect, that it seems more funny each time I watch it. I don't know what the heck he's doing now, but if he ever puts out another DVD like this one, I'll buy it the day it comes out. August 6, 2007
