I guess I don't watch him enough, because of what I've seen, he's way overrated and certainly not worth 8 figures.

With what professional sports figures are paid yearly, I don't get upset about actors/comedians making huge wads of dough. Of course both sets are horribly overpaid.

I don't see why that's overpaid, really. He controls virtually every aspect of that show which is the highest rated program on Comedy Central. Beyond that, it is all coming out of his brain. So when advertisers will pay millions of dollars to show commercials during a show that only exists in his (and his writing partner, whatever) mind, it seems perfectly reasonable to me that he should get a large portion of that money.

And as far as being a no talent racist, I don't know where you left your sense of humor but Dave Chappelle is one of the funniest men on the planet. His social commentary is spot-on and hilarious. Seriously, what makes him a racist?

He is a racist because he pokes fun at people's race.....except that he makes fun of everyone equally.

I enjoy Dave, really do not care how much money he makes. Really makes no difference does it? He will either earn the money or fade away.

well everybody i know who likes that show is somebody any network would want watching its commercial breaks.

i think the show is fucking hilarious, and if you think he's racist, i would argue that you simply don't understand his sense of humor.

please note that he makes fun of black people exponentially more than white people.

and yes, he is worth every bit of that money, if not more.

I would say he makes fun of our racial stereotypes, and not that he makes fun of races.

You are a complete fucking buffoon. I am not even going to waste time explaining to your dumb ass what the meaning of my post even was. You may ask someone who has a clue for help.

The results were surprising: the graph above suggests that 6,367,619,884 out of every 6,367,619,885 people in the world are not Dave Chappelle, and therefore should shut the hell up.
That's high quality...

yes, and what stupid fucking maddox doesnt see is that dave is IMITATING OTHER PEOPLE. so he can take that stupid fucking graph and shove it up his ass. since the same stat can be used for rick james and also lil john. so if he can get away imitating other people, then people can get away with imitating him.

I worked at circuit city when the first season of his show came out on dvd. And it was undershipped, but at the same time, it sold out in the first 15 minutes STATEWIDE. No one could get copies for months at any store in minnesota (likewise elsewhere I am guessing) and whenever a few copies did come in , whatever employees didnt snatch and sell on ebay were gone within 5 minutes.

I think that he is absolutely hilarious, and obviously so does just about everyone else.

IRC is right, your name really is ZAMTARD. What is funny is Dave Chapelle being Rick James. People are imitating Chapelle. Rick James isn't necessary to the equation. The graph stands, there's only 1 Dave Chapelle.

chappelle is imitating rick james, people are imitating chappelle. there is no debate here, idiot. he makes fun of people for imitating chappelle, when chappelle, is infact, doing it himself. now, while you may go on the rant that it is funny when chappelle does it and no one else, you should probably realize that it is based on opinion.
