Title: Heir to Richard Pryor's genius? Please....
Product review: I gave the guy a chance. I saw his stand up and some of his skits. Recently, I saw him on that pompous show, "Inside the Actor's Studio." They showed some of his "classic" bits. Throughout it all, not one laugh shook my tummy.The racist, sexual, and political material he lambastes is more easily and hilariously skewered on MAD TV. Just because a black man screams the "N" word a bunch of times, it does not make him a brilliant comedian.The most annoying thing about Chappelle is his willingness to don the mantle of "suffering artist." For a while, he was avoiding Comedy Central's offer to renew his contract by supposedly hiding out in a mental ward. False modesty aside, he clearly enjoys his own hype.Chappelle should change his name to Chapeux and sell hats.
