Chappelle's Show is a Comedy Central sketch comedy show starring comedian-turned-actor Dave Chappelle that ran for two (or two-and-a-half) short seasons on Comedy Central. It is mainly known for spawning a slew of catchphrases and memes (including the Rick James quote mentioned above) and becoming one of the poster boys for a show simply being too good to last.A stealth hit (Dave even joked in a season 2 promo that the show was only renewed because Comedy Central needed a show to fill in time on the schedule until Reno 911! came back), the series came into its own with its second season, becoming a massive success in terms of reception and ratings. As such, there was much hype and anticipation for the show's third season as Dave signed a massive contract with Comedy Central that granted him a large paycheck and a considerable cut of DVD sales for the show. It was smooth sailing for the show from there on in......or at least that might've been the case, as it was reported that Dave went missing after filming three episodes' worth of sketches for his show, ultimately resurfacing in South Africa, while the season 3 premiere date came and went with no show in sight.As fans would find out, Dave had become disillusioned with fame and the show. His edgy, in-your-face racial humor was being taken at face value by his now-predominately-white fanbase, culminating in him coming to the conclusion that he had become the very thing he was mocking with his racially charged material. Adding to this was Comedy Central, who had given the show free rein for the first two seasons, suddenly sticking their noses into the production of the program, and Dave falling out with Neal Brennan, his partner and the co-creator of the show, who was reportedly more concerned with keeping the gravy train running than with his crisis (although Neal and others argue that this wasn't the case).The network, tired of waiting, ultimately aired the filmed sketches as "the Lost Episodes" with introductions from Dave's co-stars, Charlie Murphy and Donnell Rawlings. This did not go over well with Dave, who felt betrayed since he had told Comedy Central repeatedly that any deal to have him come back would hinge on the sketches he had filmed never seeing the light of day. This effectively ended the series, as Dave has since returned to doing stand-up full-time, leaving fans with the memories of the show and what could have been. Meanwhile, Comedy Central has tried to continue the format of minority-led stand-up and sketch comedy in a series format, resulting in a Tough Act to Follow the network alongside perceived cases of Follow the Leader, whether or not these are accurate.After eleven years, several of the show's most popular characters were brought back one more time when Dave hosted Saturday Night Live in a rare public appearance since walking away from the job. | |

All Men Are Perverts: Dave posits that this is the reason a guy version of What Women Want couldn't be made; a woman having unfiltered access to the thoughts of several men (and a teenage boy) in an elevator is not a fun time for her but all the guys have a laugh about it once she leaves. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: In-Universe example, Tupac Shakur begins rapping about things happening in the club his "old" song is playing in. He criticizes a woman's choice of clothes, admonishes another patron for not tipping the bartender and making the record skip by hitting the DJ's table, and calls out Dave Chappelle for being out clubbing when he has a wife and two kids at home. | |

| Chappelle's Show / int_230d64 | comment |
Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Parodied by inversion in "Tron Carter's Law & Order". In response to the Enron scandal, Dave did a skit where the titular Tron got the lenient, white-collar treatment and got to plead the "fif" in front of Congress while his white-collar business counterpart got treated harshly, abused, and sentenced to life in prison. And in a month, Tron will be out and back to trafficking rocks... to the community. | |

Immediate Self-Contradiction: Rick James makes a comment about ruining Eddie Murphy's couch that very easily comes off this way, though he might have meant that he did it with purpose rather than just as "something to do". Either way, it sounds ridiculous enough to get a Rewind, Replay, Repeat treatment. | |

Orphaned Series: After Comedy Central aired the filmed sketches for season three, Dave Chappelle pretty much disowned the show outright (up until they announced they would air the filmed sketches, Chappelle claimed that he was open to coming back but the decision to air those sketches burnt those bridges). | |

Brilliant, but Lazy: Tyrone Biggums, of all people. One sketch shows him studying for exams. He actually ends up successfuly passing the exams and becomes a certified real estate agent. It is then revealed that he only did that so he could sell a couple's house for crack money. However, the fact that he actually managed to get a diploma implies that Tyrone could be successful in life if it wasn’t for his crippling crack addiction. | |

Anachronistic Soundtrack | |
| Chappelle's Show / int_358d6f63 | comment |
Anachronistic Soundtrack: Intentional example in "Tupac is Still Alive". The sketch revolves around Dave dancing to a previously-unreleased Tupac Shakur song which contains references to things that occurred after his death, such as the popularity of BlackBerry cell phones, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, George W. Bush, Eminem and the War in Afghanistan. The whole time, Pac insists that the song was written and recorded in 1994. Pac then breaks the fourth wall and starts commenting on things happening in the club, such as calling Dave out for being there when he's got a wife and two kids at home. | |

Fur and Loathing: Spoofed a couple of ways. In the "Player Haters' Ball" skit, Dave plays wearing Pimp Duds, and when some guys mock his coat, he throws it back at them, saying "it was made from yo mamma's pubic hair!". In a skit where he meets with an ex, he convinces her to run away with him. She wears her rabbit fur coat so she can be Pretty in Mink when they meet again, but it was part of a prank. He's still with his family, and he mocks her fur as the family gets in their limo. | |

Uncle Tom Foolery: Deconstructed, inverted, parodied, and in every other way turned on its head. Sadly, this was lost on at least a few people. Ironically enough, this was the very reason why Dave Chappelle decided not to go on with the show. He felt he became what he was mocking. | |

Annoying Pop-Up Ad: One season 2 skit depicted what the internet would be like if it was a real place. During his travels inside the 'net, Dave unwittingly stumbles upon a pop-up ad that keeps re-appearing, temporarily trapping him in a loop, and driving him nuts. At the end of the skit, he cold clocks both the bureaucrat and roulette croupier that kept trapping him in pop-ups. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Chappelle's Show / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: In one "Player Haters' Ball" skit, Ice-T dips into this: In an example that overlaps with Tough Love, Leonard Washington strands his "Trading Spouses" counterpart's white son in the ghetto after he catches him pretending to be part of "G-g-g-g-G-UNIT!" The "When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong" sketches are prime examples of this trope. One sketch includes a woman dialing a wrong number trying to call her mom. Brenda, the woman she accidentally calls, thinks the woman is sleeping with her boyfriend and vandalizes what she thinks is the woman's car... But she was actually borrowing the car from a relative who just so happens to be a federal agent, and Brenda gets sent to prison. | |

D-Cup Distress: Inverted in It's a Wonderful Breast; Sheila, the sketch's main character laments how much of an inconvenience her large breasts are, when an Almighty Janitor shows her what the world would be like if they were smaller, culminating in her next door neighbor blowing up the world out of having nothing to live for (Sheila's breasts gave him some degree of consolation). By the end of the sketch, she not only embraces her cup size, but also ponders getting implants. | |

Token White: When Chappelle brings up how The Real World always puts one black guy around six of the craziest white people the show can find, he decides to reverse the roles in a sketch titled The Mad Real World. (Hoboken!) True to form, Chad, the sole white guy in the house is terrorized to no end by the blacks living with him; including but not limited to having his girlfriend stolen from him and his dad getting stabbed. The entire sketch had a much darker origin, as a Take That! against MTV and the producers of The Real World. Dave Chappelle is close friends with Dave Edwards, a comedian who was kicked out of the second incarnation of The Real World under similar circumstances. | |

It helps that both Prince and Rick James have confirmed the stories, albeit just tweaked for comedic effect as well as their own idea of the events. Micki Free himself has also confirmed the Prince story to be true. | |

Also subverted in the extended Paul Mooney interview for "Ask a Black Dude" in the season 1 DVD special features. After Mooney ends his answer to Stephen King's question by saying that he wrote a horror film called "Niggas in School", one of the white guys off camera repeats the title while laughing, which makes Mooney laugh as well. | |

Reality Is Unrealistic | |
| Chappelle's Show / int_85557b38 | comment |
Reality Is Unrealistic: At the end of the extended Paul Mooney interview for "Ask a Black Dude" in the season 1 DVD special features, someone off camera asks Mooney who he thinks came up with the questions. When he guesses that it was a combination of "Dave and the white writer," everyone tells him they were real questions asked by those who were interviewed. He doesn't believe it at first and insists that all of those people should have been arrested for asking such questions. This is also true of Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories. While the tales themselves are over exaggerated to the extreme for the show, many of the actual events mentioned in Charlie Murphy's monologues were confirmed by both Prince and Rick James in interviews (Rick James even confirmed the Prince story in unreleased interview footage from his episode). | |

Deconstruction | |
| Chappelle's Show / int_8ae880f7 | comment |
Deconstruction: Season 1 had a skit where Dave showed the consequences of what would happen if reparations for slavery were actually sent out, i.e. if the black community suddenly found itself quite wealthy. These consequences included chicken shooting up to $600 a bucket, 800 record labels being started in just an hour, and Colin Powell bitch-slapping Dick Cheney. The idea was reconstructed at the same time, however, with Sprint's stock going up after thousands of delinquent phone bills were paid off and the crime rate falling to 0%. There was also a recurring sketch called "Real Movies", where Dave showed what certain movies would look like if they were actually realistic, such as a version of The Matrix in which it turns out that when Neo was called by Morpheus while in his office, Morpheus was just "Earl from down the hall" and needed to borrow Neo's stapler. There was also a sketch showing what would happen if people really did "keep it real." The answer? Prison time, savage beatings, and career ruination. Parodied old-school McDonald's commercials that claimed how the franchise was really beneficial to low-income neighborhoods by providing many easy jobs. Two months after "Calvin" has been working there, he's frequently mugged (because they know he has a steady paycheck), has lost all respect from his peers, and his girlfriend cheats on him while he's at work. | |

Capitalism Is Bad: The "WacArnold's" skit satirizes some of McDonald's commercials by showing a young African-American man named Calvin who gets a job at the McDonald's ersatz while the narrator explains the benefits of working at the company in a set of commercials. Though with each commercial, it portrays it in a less appealing manner: one woman who had congratulated Calvin had died from eating cheap, high cholesterol foods from WacArnold's; his Black majority neighborhood's economic well-being is no better than it was prior to the WacArnold's restaurant opening; and Calvin can't adequately care for his family on his minimum wage job. | |

The "When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong" sketches are prime examples of this trope. One sketch includes a woman dialing a wrong number trying to call her mom. Brenda, the woman she accidentally calls, thinks the woman is sleeping with her boyfriend and vandalizes what she thinks is the woman's car... But she was actually borrowing the car from a relative who just so happens to be a federal agent, and Brenda gets sent to prison. | |

In an example that overlaps with Tough Love, Leonard Washington strands his "Trading Spouses" counterpart's white son in the ghetto after he catches him pretending to be part of "G-g-g-g-G-UNIT!" | |

Take That! | |
| Chappelle's Show / int_b53077b3 | comment |
The entire sketch had a much darker origin, as a Take That! against MTV and the producers of The Real World. Dave Chappelle is close friends with Dave Edwards, a comedian who was kicked out of the second incarnation of The Real World under similar circumstances. | |

You Are What You Hate | |
| Chappelle's Show / int_bc502e4b | comment |
You Are What You Hate: The skit "Black White Supremacist" featured a blind black man, named Clayton Bigsby, who grew up in an orphanage, unaware of his own race and became a prominent white supremacist writer and Klan leader. His best friend makes sure he is never seen in public out of his robes and doesn't tell him he's black out of fear that he will kill himself just for the sake of having one less black person in the world. He does eventually find out that he is black and after a while he comes to accept it, although he still divorces his wife for being a "nigger-lover". | |

Can't Hold His Liquor | |

Can't Hold His Liquor: One of the unaired "Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories" segments (also without an accompanying skit) chronicled the exploits of "Darryl" (commonly believed to have been Clint Smith), a childhood friend of Eddie's and member of his entourage who had a bit of a Napoleon complex while sober, but became about fifty times worse with alcohol and was an incredibly abusive, mean, and violent drunk. | |

Mundane Made Awesome: The Slow Motion skits would turn Dave from a complete loser to a total badass when they "replayed" the video in slow motion. (The slo-mo replays were actually different clips that followed a similar sequence of events to that of the regular-motion clips, but the events played out in Dave's favor in the slo-mo videos (except when he sat on the toilet).) | |

Hilarious in Hindsight | |
| Chappelle's Show / int_dc57d1e6 | comment |
Few people are aware that the Hilarious in Hindsight element of the Negrodamus line was unintentional on Dave's part. Wayne Brady was a major reason the penultimate season two episode existed in the first place. Wayne Brady, in an interview on The Steve Harvey Morning Show, claimed that he disliked the Negrodamus joke. He didn't mind the joke being used at his expense, but he DID mind that it was (to him) completely unfunny. So Chappelle, who respected Brady very much, gave Brady a call to come onto the show, and they collaborated on that infamous Training Day parody. The rest is history. That parody actually involved a fair few Call Backs, including Dave's "son"'s love for Nick Cannon and Dave's daydream of being a rapper with goat legs. | |

Running Gag: "Cocaine is a hell of a drug." Mildly amusing the first time, downright hilarious by the time it's finally said in context. Dave's character Chuck Taylor is a white guy who gets progressively whiter in each episode he appears in. In his final appearance he is almost literally white. References to the lets-just-say "legal problems" of R. Kelly (and less frequently, OJ Simpson's). | |
