Entertainment Weekly:Dave Chappelle in African Looney Bin'' Howbutwhat''
I am – Hercules!!
What would Trey Parker make of this? Oh, why, Sky Bully, why?? Why is “South Park” on hiatus??
“We don’t know where he is,” Comedy Central spokesman Tony Fox said. “We’ve heard about South Africa. We don’t know. We haven’t talked to Dave.”
Comedy Central spent $50 million on this guy!!

I'M RICK JAMES BIOTCH!
-
Weird.
-
Hope he's alright. *I have no life*
-
fourth or so
-
If it is...then I hope he gets well real soon. Not so much as for the show, but just because.
-
How thoughtful. Maybe the next time someone dies you could say he or she kicked the bucket or is pushing up daisies. I'm not big on being PC all the time but the guy has checked himself in to a mental health facility because apparently he has problems with his mental health, show some sensitivity. Flame away folks.
-
Ahchoo had his own show? Well, I'll be damned.
-
I'm nuts, Beotch!"
-
I can't wait for the follow-up headline when he gets out. Pretty fucking insensitive if you ask me.
-
If someone struggles all their life at the bottom of the heap and is forever dragged down by mental health problems that prevent them from ever achieving their goals, I have nothing but sympathy. But when someone goes nuts because they got it all, because the pressure of having too much money and fame, well, I understand fully how it can happen, but sympathy? eh, not so much... Whether it's drugs, nervous exhaustion, meglomania gone mad, too much partying, or mental problems, I too, of course, hope Chappelle gets well and gets back to the funny... but I'm not going to feign some sort of sycnchophantic celebrity sympathy for the guy... after all, faux fawning and hand-wringing would be the LAST thing Chappelle himself would offer up -- if he saw this kind of celebrity weirdness he'd go straight for the jugular...
-
Think of all the great, edgy material he'll have. Remember how great Richard Pryor was after he set himself on fire while he was freebasing? Stay crazy as long as ya need to, Dave. We'll wait.
-
i was listening to his show last week and they were tossing around ideas as to dave's whereabouts. howard figures since dave had switched to being a muslim that suddenly dave had problems with his own material. damn you religion!
-
It ain't just a skit anymore; it's multiple personality disorder!
C'mon, even Chappelle would laugh at that. -
Even when applied to someone whose every other word is "bitch"? Are. You. Out. Of. Your. Fucking. Looney. Mind? I forbid you to read this site ever again.

the lady was holding the sheet she was reading from in clear view of the camera. i guess they don't have prompts at E!.

-
...the term "Looney bin" went out of style mid-1954. I'm just looking out for your Cool-o-Meter rating.
-
Now how will I find out what happens on the Gilmour Girls? Please.

I hope he gets better. He's the man.

by cornstalkwalker

All of the PC talk about Chapelle, why not do some research on the guy. I saw him live at the University of FLorida Gator Growl. he was the headlining comedian that year. He was so high he could barely walk, and WAY too high to even perform his routine. he forgot words, he stopped jokes in the middle and then just stared off in space. I have no problem saying he's in "a looney bin" because he's there for things he's done TO himself. Yeah, if you do drugs and alcohol because you've got the money, and get by on doing supporting roles in a couple movies here and there, you might get by. But mix those drugs and alcohol with a tv schedule and deadlines? TIME BOMB baby. I'm sure none of you had love for Matthew Perry or Robert DOwney JR. Why the support of "get well Dave". Cause he said I'm Rick James Bitch? I mean, the show has a couple of moments here and there, and those moments are really good. But there's a lot of crap in it too. Anyone who can't handle the pressure of one good sketch a show deserves to be in the looney bin, AND sued.

Yeah, I'd hate to hear the Rick James shit over and over
by iamnicksaicnsn
That'd be terrible. Out of respect, I guess I'd try to quote something out of 'Men In Tights,' if i was going to quote anything at all... but I can't think of anything he said from that movie. So I'd probably just say, "hey, you kick ass" and then be on my way, maybe shake his hand, ask him about his upcoming shit if he had time... etc etc.

by triumph poops!
Man, with $50 mil you could buy a high-end Hollywood hooker that runs you $500 an hour for 16 hours a day (giving yourself 8 hours to sleep and recharge) and book her 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year...and when you tire of her, hire someone else...and it would still take you over 17 YEARS of hourly, daily fucking to blow through your money. That puts that in perspective! Which means Bill Gates can afford--well, no need to get depressed thinking about THAT. What I wouldn't give to have Bill Gates' credit card for just one day!

Watch him come back and want to concentrate on serious acting. That would be the best fucking joke ever! Seriously, what if he comes back all militant and reboots the Black Panthers on a "Mandela Pussied Out" platform. That would be humorous as well.

"Watch him come back and want to concentrate on serious acting"
by gheorghe zamfir
I was never entirely sure if this was a joke or not, but isn't he in line to playing Rick James in a biopic?
-
I refer you to Harry's little blurb that was located on the site circa turn of the century. http://web.archive.org/web/20000511112650/http://www.aintitcool.com/Quote: " It is here that you will find out about all that is cool within the film industry . . . But you won't ever read about who is sleeping with who or who is addicted to what! The PLAY is the THING! And that is how we play!" Who's addicted to what and who is having (insert mental/drug problem here) Not that I'm really bitching or angry about the story itself, I think its pretty funny that he went all kinds of crazy. Just throwin it out there.

by the founder
i've seen DC in standup, and yeah the tickets were overpriced, cause it was just last Xmas, but i gotta say i was a little disappointed. he head some good material that hit the nail, but some of it was just ok. I personally think that DC is better acting in a movie to get laughs as opposed to standup. I'm probably one of the few here that has only seen 2 episodes of his show. I think DC's success hings more on his likability then his actual talent. he's a nice guy in person. i've always heard good things about him from people who met him in person, and when I say good, i mean a good expierence in meeting him. I know after the show last year he stayed back and meet fans, and signed autographs of everyone who stayed and wanted one, especially since like most celebs he could've just finished his performance and left out the back. I hope he gets better what ever his problem may be.
-
Sends people in South Africa Loco, that weed is way too strong apparently, too high a THC content and triggers psychotic and sometimes schizophrenic behaviour. Hope thats not whats happened to the guy but It's a good guess.
-
Well..I hope he feels better. When I heard it, it was weird, like a friend of mine went berserk and had to be institutionalized. And I have to say I like his comedy, his CSI bit about semen is one of the funniest damned things in standup history. Get well, I guess. They should have never given that ni--wait, coming from a fat white guy, that sounds REALLY racist. Godspeed, Dave.
-
I'll take that.
-
I hate George the seventh chicken. Fucking hate him. But his first post is kind of on the money. So maybe I have to change that to opposite day hate. Anyway I cant believe people are bringing up Men in Tights as Dave Chappelle's quality movie work and not Half-Baked, one of the funniest movies I've seen. He basically wrote that whole script, and it's fucking great. Do they have to pay him if he stops forever now? I mean, maybe he's figured out a way to get 50 million for nothing. and that would make him my super ultimate hero.

He would have gone somewhere other than Africa for his treatment. Imagine it. "Chapelle goes to Norway for Mental treatment". Now that's funny. "I'm the singer from A-Ha bitch"

That is, presuming the rumors of Dave's Muslim beliefs keeping him from making a Season 3. Even the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens is going, "Dave, what the hell are you doing, bro?"

The deal is worth potentially $50 million based in large part on the DVD sales of season two and three. So it's not like CC scratched him out a $50 mil check or anything. The weird circumstances will only build anticipation and the first episode will set CC ratings history.
You heard it here first, beeyotch.
www.theletterd.blogspot.com -
It's in South Africa. That makes it a "Nut hut".
-
Apparently a huge portion of Dave's 50 million deal was supposed to come from future DVD sales of the next few seasons. So if the seasons suck (and no one buys the DVDs) then he'll not make as much money. A smart move by COmedy Central - they promise that he'll be payed pretty damn well, as long as he keeps producing quality work. If he never gets over his latest problems, then he'll not make the show, and he'll not get paid.
-
Anyone know the cause of death for Mitch Hedberg? Theres another guy that just went to far with whatever demons he had possessing him. I would hate to lose to of my favorite comedians to their own vices. Get better, Dave.
-
dave didn't repeat "i'm rick james bitch" over and over and over and over. he did it a couple times in that episode, comedy central ran it over and over, and all the college tards adopted it as their own personal catchphrase. tards. and as far as i know, hedberg died of a heart attack thing, he had a heart problem for a long time.

...now produces several previously non-existing drugs. Seriously, twice monthly he has to report to a secret government facility where various orifices are drained and the contents stored for future analysis. They've added four new elements to the periodic table since he got out of jail and that's no shit people. It's all happening at Area 51 which is probably where they're holding Chappelle.
-
...on the action figure where your master touched you, Lord Vader?" That was some funny shit. Dave's pitched some weak "only funny if you're high" comedy as well, but overall I like having him around. Has anyone ever done stand-up from a straight jacket before?

Possibly, he seemed okay at the VMA's in Miami, but he steered clear of repeating the catch phrase(I'm so sick of hearing it I can't even make myself type it). I hope he'll be alright if this is true. Oh and glad to see you back George.

Well thats cool too. I remember Oil Can not pitching the the 1986 world series cause of a rainout. Sox were able to bring Hurst back but lost to my New York Mets! BTW thanks to Boston for beating the Yanks last year.
Oh and hope Dave is ok, back to the topic. -
He came to me with an unusual problem. Apparently, he can't stop saying "nigger!" His treatment consists of painting him white and dropping his ass in a black neighborhood. This cure works quickly but recovery from the severe beatings may take a while. Also, he may not be able to do another season with the loss of his "material".
-
Think about it. Its cheaper than Prozac!

"This," not "Thi."
[face_blush] -
...so I never saw this french hat show everybody talks about. I thought Half Baked was funny in places. But then I thought The Geena Davis show with Kim Coles and Mimi Rogers was sexy, so what do I know? Yes Dave Chappeau was slated to play Rick James in a comedy based on the Super Freak's autobiography. Think about that, you write your life story and someone buys it to turn it into a comedy. THAT was what killed Rick James, and guilt over that is what drove Dave Chateau nuts. You'd go nuts too if you made fun of someone so hard it killed them. I think I saw this Dave Chevelle on Conan a few times, too. He was pretty funny before he went nuts. So Mitch Hedberg had a bad heart? That's too bad, he was a pretty funny guy too. At least Dave Chapel didn't pull a Kurt Cobain and leave his brains on the garage floor for his wife to come home to and clean up. Dave Chalupa, get well soon, negro.

was that supposed to be funny?

Chapelle speaks to Time Mag and denies drugs and insanity.
by oompa_radar
He says that the hangers on around him changed when he got the $50 Mil deal and he needs some peace and time to think. Islam is lightly mentioned as well. He does come across quite sober and sane as well as quite humble and thoughtful.
-
I wasn going to go on a tirade about Captain_Walker's ignorant crack, but this is a stupid AICN talkback for crhissakes. How does anyone even start to get offended by this bucket of tools? Yeah, that's what I thought...
-
I wasn't going to respond to Captain Walker at first as my comment wasn't directed at her but she obviously feels it was, so shes probably right. In short - fuck off bitch!
