Personal taste is valid, but in 2002/2003, Dave Chappelle was untouchable in comedy. He was doing sketch comedy different, and it contextualized and lampooned race relations in North America. It was eye opening for a lot of white people to watch, and immensely validating for the black community. Maybe it doesn't all land these days, but it was cutting edge comedy in the early 00s.

His early stand up is awesome too. While deployed in the military, my buddies and I watched For What It's Worth and Killin' Them Softly so many times. We just repeated jokes to each other most of the day. It really helped kill the time with all the waiting.

I just don't understand his obsession to die on this hill.

All the comedy genius came from Paul Mooney’s writing.
