has anyone watched the pseudo-replacement for it, mind of mencia? i have tried to watch it a couple times but that guy is so shrill i couldn't stand it.

[AngryCola]

I believe Charlie Murphy, but he could end up being wrong.

Right?

Eh... maybe that's just wishful thinking.

Part of it is staged (the bits on the street, I mean), but I like Mencia. His show is pretty good. It's big into the "politically incorrect" thing.

[Eegs]

dam u got to it first, i was just gonna post that...how trashy though huh? Maybe Dave is scared his shyt might be getting old and he wants to end it on good terms...that and he probably doesnt need the money

i think charlie speaks the truth, sadly. didn't dave's longtime writing partner walk away from the show and/or comedy central recently?

[CollinEstes]

His stand up "Killin them softly" is the funniest stand up I think I have ever seen.

From the time article I read, a lot of it was him being obsessed with topping his previous work. Hard to improve on near-perfection. That, plus I don't think he could deal with suddenly becoming the standard for black comedians the way Chris Rock was in the nineties.

Lot of pressure. Sucks that there will be no more Chapelle.

[Voltron87]

for what its worth is better imo. i can im it to you if you want.

Not sure, but Chappelle apparently didn't tell Neal Brennen that he was going to South Africa, and Neal was very publicly pissed about it, so that would be unsurprising.

[ChoicestHops]

Murphy said that the show burned out? I dont agree with that. I wish there would be another season.

[CollinEstes]

I will have to check it out.

[Voltron87]

if you have gaim or something and a good connection i can im it to you, thats an open offer for 1-2 2+2ers. pm me your sn if interested.

[CollinEstes]

I'm at work, but I might PM you when I get home.

This sucks. At least there's the DVD's.

Mind of Mencia isn't even 1% as naturally funny as Chapelle. His show blows.

I haven't really paid attention to this other than to watch the show once or twice. Did Chapelle have a breakdown or what?

[Luv2DriveTT]

So is David Chapelle's career. He officially defined himself to be a horrible investment.

the unedited one that used to be on showtime a lot is hilarious. they reran it on comedy central but it was mostly edited fluff.

I agree, his original stand-up routine was pretty funny, but his show is just a poor replacement for Chappelle's Show.

This is just another episode of "PUNK'D!"

So Charlie Murphy is really Eddie's brother? I thought he just played Eddie's brother on the show.

Oh well. Chapelle's Show sucked anyways. The same old lame crap where black comedians make fun of white folks. That crap was played out when Richard Pryor did it.

Maybe they can fill the time slot with more South Park. That'd be a win-win.

I went down to play trivia with my dad and a couple of his work friends tonight, and one of them really believed this has got to be some kind of prank.

It really wouldn't surprise me. After all, it's Charlie Murphy making the quote, not the head of the TV productions or Comedy Central.

Wrong. You obviously didn't watch this show at all.
