Dave Chappelle on Def Poetry Jam

[nandoboii415]

the thing about dave chappelle is the fact that he turns what everyone takes so seriously (racism) and makes it into a joke.. what he does is what not many other people on this planet have ever done. he brakes down barriers through comedy. He is one of my true heroes in this world

[chrls000171]

His wife looks filipina when I met him. He's always in San Francisco especially in Haight and Ashbury, buying his son kid robot toys. Good man, he's not racist. :)

[maradona87]

They should call this Nigger Niggedy Jam. That's not racism, just this is the blackest thing since black fucked black.

[tubebility]

@maradona87 there's nothing wrong with black, you albino vampire devil!

[maradona87]

@tubebility Woah, why so racist pal!!?? I didn't say there was anything wrong with black, but you CLEARLY have a problem with white! MONSTER!!

[babyblue9267132]

YO BUY SOMETHING OR GET OUT OF MY STOREEE

[younggenace]

end off the day every body outcha fake...shud of picthe old one

[0NauGhT0]

read the top comment about the spoiler in the other top comment cause it was shorter so it wasn't ruined for me

[befr33]

ya'll do know that Dave Chappelle has an Asian wife right (not sure from where though -- but it's not entirely insignificant since he also has at least two children that are mixed Black and Asian)

[henrysthingamajig]

haha, im asian and that was funny as fuck LOL

[NDB1790]

Such a racist lol

[tunvarcoe]

@NDB1790 He's not being racist he's just being real... he has an Asian wife too.

[NDB1790]

@tunvarcoe I don't care if his wife is purple, he's a racist lol. Makes for great comedy, though.

[tunvarcoe]

@NDB1790 Indeed it does.

[calikiddable]

We Need Chappelle!

[springdom]

i doo doo percentages and averages hahahaha

[walnuthouse991]

Hong, Son, , Moon, Cho, kim, and choi are korean last names. Yoon Soon-Bok, Kim Myong-Suk, and Jeon Myung-Sun are first names

[walnuthouse991]

you indentify by the last name . fong, lee , chang is chinese .xiong or thao is hmong, yamaguchi or yamamoto is japanese. nyugen is vientamese. they may look similar but you indentify by seeing there last name. then you wont automatically say oh he/she is chinese. they dont like that they get offended. ive worked around these people.

[360smusic]

maan FUCK YOU if you dont like grape drink theres something wrong with you, motherfucker u aint right! awwrh i meen chappelle :P

[cmbuvi92]

White dude at the top left with a beanie on at 1:21 has no sense of humor.

[raspyshiit]

@cmbuvi92 hahah, yeah i clocked that... but sometimes i don't laugh at the funniest things because i'm too busy absorbing and analysing it in different ways.

[NaturalBEauty1223]

the guy at 1:23 who doesnt laugh while everyone can barely control themselves!! lol

[DJCalCuttah]

@NaturalBEauty1223 i noticed that too lol

[hazalopez]

the averages and odds part was hilarioussss

[TraceCompilations]

i hate it when the top comment ruins the video

[yoochawn101]

yoooooo

[MrCaptainForever]

Get your fingers out of my face CHINAMAN!

[GunterJPN]

never met a Korean person named Fong...

[softsensitivity]

he so wrong lmaoooooooo brak man lmao

[cforclover]

a spoiler of the last joke is the top comment? shit.

[izred8]

So true

[deshavionna]

He's a comedian stfu!!! Nd laugh!

[og4lmf]

The truth is racist!

[sangredelic]

I'm not black but I have been shadowed by the store owner when trying to shop. It's infuriating. I thought all kinds of racist things about the owners, who were Arab. I wanted to knock things off the shelves

[dim2thesum]

funny joke but also true in awhile, we live a society that has a misconception of other ethnicities.

[peridot2cat]

0:00 - 0:14.......soooo damn hot

[chakaramaster]

His jokes aren't personal, he's a comedian. Shits funny.

[ageniusx187]

dave have some issue with asians? maybe with his wife who is a filipino? since this is not the first ''joke" about asians. he is one of funniest comedian ever but that was stereotype. just want to know if it's personal.

[crazyjak56]

@ageniusx187 They used to run liquor stores a lot and shadow people from what I've heard. And then there is the stereotype that they look alike which he also talks about. While it is unfair to generalize you have to admit, a lot of them look alike but that's what race is. Similar external qualities.

[ageniusx187]

@crazyjak56 you is some crazy imbecile, shut the hell up with your crap

[crazyjak56]

@ageniusx187 I said external not personality.

[slimithy12]

i guess the meaning of the poem went right over your head. dave is saying, the korean shop owner was stereotyping him, so he got mad and called him a "chinaman" which meant he was guilty of stereotyping too. so he said sorry cos he knows he should know better. he's actually saying we are all guilty of racism. and btw, my wife is asian and i also make alot of asian joke. she also jokes back, we do it cos we feel part of each others culture. i think that might be the case with dave too.

[ageniusx187]

@slimithy12 yea,whatever. who gives a fuck about 2 racists couples joking each others race? some sick shit! but this ain't funny joke at all, dave is funnier than that, much funnier! so it must be an "issue" either with "asian" store owners or his wife's family?

[FamousEddieFortune]

35 people who watched this were Korean

[5033481boy]

haha he said dodo.lol

[walgler781]

that bih stupid

[walgler781]

that big stupid

[Moog168]

35 people wanted to hear the old poem lolol

[Twunga]

I know Chappelle's work well and this is very weak for him - but I guess he said that it could suck.

[The72koenig]

hmm????? it's racist 4 the grocery store owner 2 assume dave's shoplifting, but not racist 4 dave 2 call him "CHINAMAN" and then proceed 2 use a hokey, charlie chan accent? methinks dave is a hypocrite and a racist!

[stepz7]

@The72koenig it was a poem/joke calm your ass down jeez

[The72koenig]

@stepz7 check out dave's politics when it comes 2 "jokes" about black folks, then you'll see his hypocrisy!!! plus the whole thing was hokey and stale!!

[stepz7]

@The72koenig well dave himself said he is a racist, and all us are really, i think dave is funny. anyways i just dont really care there are more important bigger things than to argue/complain bout dave,

[Rocketfing3r]

@The72koenig Me thinks you are stupid, ignorant and blind. he's a comedian, you half-wit, he does comedy. And how the fuck do you differ chinese from japanese or korean? fucking impossible. Stop being such a jerk.

[The72koenig]

@Rocketfing3r first of all for one that's throwing around words like stupid, ignorant and blind you might want to check your spelling, methinks is one word. also, it's very easy to tell the difference between different asian groups, to say otherwise only reveals your ignorance and stupidity. p.s. thanks for pointing out that a comedian is telling a joke, very enlightening and also by the way, you're stating the obvious!!! if that joke is racist i'll call someone on it.

[Rocketfing3r]

@The72koenig Shouldn't have watched this with that kind of attitude. I envy your ability to differ various asian groups, but let's not forget that not everyone is that much talented.Anyways, no offense, but don't take the jokes too seriously, that's all. Peace.

[StellaEllaMaya]

@Rocketfing3r It's no special ability.. can you honestly not tell the difference between koreans and chinese? :S

[Rocketfing3r]

@StellaEllaMaya Are you serious..? No, i can't, of course not. Do you?

[StellaEllaMaya]

@Rocketfing3r Obviously.. their whole facial structure is different. Chinese people have rounder faces than basically any other East Asian ethnicity whereas Korean people's faces look more chiseled, but with smaller eyes. Korean people are also more likely to have dyed their hair or have little clip-in streaks.. It's basically as easy as telling North American aboriginals from Asian people, or really dark Indian people from those of African descent.. not rocket science, dude :P.

[TSGS21]

Everyone laughs, I laughed, but I just love how every Chappelle joke has a message. Dave Chappelle is like a civil rights activist who can get away with saying things because he converts he's speeches into comedy. If he sat with a reporter and say I am mad that people are getting harassed by police and the Korean man at the liquor store, he would be banned,hated, maybe even physically harmed.  I'm just glad he makes me laugh at the bull shit we go through in this GREAT country of ours. GBA!

[sonofthedestroyer]

@TSGS21,

Chappelle is no fool. He knows exactly how to pass on wisdom without getting himself into too much trouble

[TSGS21]

@sonofthedestroyer Exactly!

[hunniebear304]

CHINA MANN !!!

[firingstony]

yea im the 555,555 veiwer :D

[JentillyLIO]

Let me rephrase: Huhly-Ap! HEY I WATCH U DUH IN DUH SUTOWA! BAIE SAMTING OR GETO OUTU! Heyy UU! WHAT U TINK IM DUH CHINESU!? U DONTU KNOWU WHAT CHU A TINKING!? U MISTAKEA! I AM KO-LE-AN!

[Badl2ussian]

fuck i miss this guy. bring Chapelle Show back!

[whibru179]

wow! just backstage he wrote THIS???!!! add to favorites!

[marcdosocho]

lol fck blown

[KaliumMusic]

Am I the only one who is annoyed by that gansta-wannabe who introduces Chappelle at the beginning of the video?

[PrizePirate]

@KaliumMusic Dude.. that's Mos Def, he's not a wannabe, he's one of the greatest MCs to ever write in hip-hop. You're sadly uneducated man if you think he's a gangsta-wannabe.

[KaliumMusic]

@PrizePirate lol sorry man, I thought he was just some announcer dude. I'm not much into hiphop, but if he's as good as you say then I respect him for his contribution to a genre :)

[heroiniskindacool]

You know, it's pretty hard telling the difference between a Chinese guy and a Korean guy.

I doubt any of you people could tell the difference between and Norwegian and a Swede.

[FreshNostalgia]

@heroiniskindacool Hell of a point. My grandmother's Swedish and fucked if I could.

[gchaoma]

ROFLMAO!

[JAKAGE12]

lmao those people in the crowd no what dave talking about with the police 3:49

[detroitmcpro]

we call those people police lmao

[MistuhPurpo]

Dave chapelle was and is a genius.

[steffx21]

<3 chappelle

[therichyD]

at 1:22, look at that white guy stare dave down LOL

[777DCMS]

@therichyD LOL> SOO TRUE xD

[TheGameIsBeastin]

@therichyD HAHAHHAHAH

[Ninajackson69]

This was pointless like most of his comedy...but I guess it entertained somebody.....moving on

[DuellMeNoob]

@Ninajackson69 seriously, it doesnt even make fun to insult you for your stupidness. nevermind.

[Ninajackson69]

@DuellMeNoob First off, I am entitled to my opinion, second...it's stupidity not stupidness you English as a second language IDIOT....and if it doesn't even make fun, which is an improperly used phrase...why do it MORON.....fifty thousand other people commented on this negatively and you chose ME to focus on. Sweetheart I am not the one so I suggest you go elsewhere with all of that nonsense.

[Bjdeezy]

@Ninajackson69 You still have to understand though, this is Dave's video and there are gonna be a good bit of Dave fans here that may be offended at your comment. Its like someone going to your favorite artists concert and screaming "THIS SHIT SUCKS". While you may be entitled to your own opinion, discretion is the difference between you voicing your opinion and just being another internet troll.

[sportsguy4life]

this was horrible!! forget the name ..

[KayLyda]

boooooooooooooo!!!

[lemonpatrona]

he looks even more baked than usual...

[rrrgovernment01]

i wish tupac was alive to be here

[daniyellowjello]

Fong is a Chinese name though...he must've lied..

[SoalaJohn54]

some people say that black people look alike, we call those people police

[SanAndreasRobbePlay]

He could've made a stronger point that Black people don't get angry when people call them Kenyan or Nigerian when they're from Somalia. Just a thought though, not a bad poem.

[firstilicious]

@SanAndreasRobbePlay Just watch Paul Mooney... he dismantles all black comics. Everyone else seems to be making fun of their own race when Mooney is a bit more fair. It's cute he kinda tries to be like him.

[walkerdj1]

@firstilicious yea dave is like mooney

[streetball102]

whats that guys name the one in the beginning

[GoddessMea]

[micolo123]

[Michael7DSeven]

[hidenorivideo]

Lol what's he doing on this program?! Get down from there Dave Chapelle, you are a comedian not a poet, and stop adding random rhymes to your jokes, rhythm is more important anyway.

[jonaschiz]

@hidenorivideo technichally that was a narrative poem

[JoyGrenade]

@hidenorivideo Mark another one up for the humorless poet stereotype.

[Shea354]

@hidenorivideo They asked him to get on there

[CurlyTopGirra7]

[Jaap95]

[chrispydogs]

@Jaap95 Yeah he was the host for Def poetry jam

[hamonryehd]

[ocachisu]

if dave chappelle came back today, the crowd would go wild. that's how much we miss him.

[Ronaldo9Zizou10]

Wow strong message in the end

[tommyfam]

LOL@ butthurt niggas crying on the inside about a comedian mocking their artistic expression

[thatru3stofGs]

its not easy to write a comedic spoken word poem. Only Chappelle could pull that shit off

[rbelliousMadman]

people already laughing after he says his name, and he hasnt even come out yet lol.. and how do 27 people dislike this? even though it wasnt that good its dave chappelle come onnnnn..

[The12345MUSIC]

[isaiahp17]

[Netherwolf6100]

BEST STORY TELLER EVA!!!

The ghetto Dr. Seuss XD

[vladamirrrr]

[franciso7]

@vladamirrrr

oh really????

LMFAO

[vladamirrrr]

@franciso7 ye, i think so... not sure though ;)

[Spacecowboyy]

"there's not enough i can say about this man so i'm just going to introduce him." LOL that came out wrong.

[fatalmaverick]

@Spacecowboyy umm how he does not have the capacity to list all daves achievements

[a10miletooth]

@fatalmaverick Mos meant that in the short time he's given to make an introduction he wouldn't be able to do Dave justice because there's so much to recognise

[nonofyall]

haha mos def for the win!

[milkmanv1]

White people do this....BLACK PEOPLE, black people do that....

[andylond12]

@milkmanv1 When White people's power goes off they PANIC. When Black people's power goes off they PLAN IT.

[treblar]

dumb ass crowd chose the wrong poem.

[darthnobunaga128]

Very well done. Hillarious too, I watched Jammie Foxx and didnt find him funny on def jam poetry. I wonder if he would have done the same poem regardless of the crowds choice...?

[MrCunai]

I love how hes impersonating a korean with a japanese accent who he thinks is chinese

[Bhatch2007]

@MrCunai I love how you could tell the difference.

[jorcutt118]

@MrCunai they are all the same anyways

[girlsailor123]

@MrCunai I don't know if he did that on purpose.

[gewg401c]

@MrCunai same shit *shrug*

[cbartdizzle]

I liked how he included that end bit in his stand up "For What It's Worth"

[PeaceLoveBud420]

BRACK MAN LOOOOOOOOOL

[theempire00]

lmfao at percentages and averages!

[iansaidhi]

Man, I always find myself watching this guy when I'm high. I wish he'd smoke with some Koreans.

[iansaidhi]

@iansaidhi Nah, actually, I'd be fine with him smoking me out.

[melbingkoy]

he's killing me with this one hahahahhaha!

[NoShelter15]

''But he just scowls at me, and growls at me..Bye sumtin''

This is art LMAO

[bornState]

and some people say all arabs look a like!

well they god damn wrong

[wedvarn]

@bornState anybody who says arabs look alike is a fool. And asians are pretty distinguingshable. I know i can tell the difference between a korean from a Japanese guy, and a Vietnamese guy from Chinese.

[BabyTankOne]

@bornState ......cuz they do

[missjuanitams24]

lol

[FergieTCI]

brack man lol

[Candygirl820]

ummm boo!

[syhaile]

@Candygirl820 U have bad taste misses. THis ish was Gutzz

[Candygirl820]

@syhaile he is usually more funny than this too me. to me, this was most def not his best. just my opinion. nothing to do with bad taste, just an opinion.

[Cmorrison626]

@Candygirl820 think he was trying to step outside of just being funny with this one. wasn't looking to come out and do a stand up routine

[supervanillabear4]

Hilarious. I'm just curious to know whether he wrote that poem before or after he used that last joke in his stand-up.

[1DIGITALmagik]

if they remade the show Goodtimes... Dave Chappelle would be JJ

[1goddesstruth]

yup, I just thought of that

[MaMaDuKeY97]

@1DIGITALmagik totalllyyy

[missrishzoe]

WE CALL DOES PEOPLE POLICE LMAO

[RyanliciousGTI]

He could have made more of a peom out of it. Would have been even more funny with some rhymes,
