Here's the thing:
Dave Chappelle walked away from Hollywood previously. Im talking before the comedy central deal. He walked away from a Fox deal. And he made it to the top with Chapelle show then walked away again after Comedy Central threw the bread his way. Seems like he has some type of integrity.
Chappelle found a way to have the sophomoric jokes (which the white folks love), but in b/w those he injects some very introspective comedy and social commentary. Its almost brilliant. Because he can make the white folks laugh, and drop something heavy that people will laugh at, but its social commentary. The joke becomes even funnier later because you recognize the truth in what he's saying, and the brilliance of it all.
