If you’re a fan of Dave Chappelle and you don’t already own the Chappelle Show on DVD… what are you waiting for? For only $15 you get ALL of Season 1, ALL of Season 2 and the “Lost Episodes” (three episodes for a third season spliced together from what Dave left behind). In total, 28 episodes and a good number of extras… That’s about fifty cents per episode!!! You can’t beat that with a bat!

Now it’s true that this was almost 15 years ago, and some of the political humor is a little dated… but most of his comedy isn’t political… it’s mostly social commentary, and while some of it will fall short for some people… For those who appreciate satire, Dave Chappelle’s contributions to our culture through the many sketches presented here are masterful achievements.

Seminal sketches include the Racial Draft, Charlie Murphy’s True Hollywood Stories, Days in the life of Lil Jon and of course Frontline’s report on Clayton Bigsby. These are the sketches everyone remembers… and for those too young to have watched these when they aired… they’re the stuff of internet legend… but between the master strokes are the small, subtle but no less influential beats of a politician proposing universal health care via fake Canadian health ID cards for all US citizens, or the biting observation that virtually everything is better in slow motion.

Again… if you didn’t already buy these as they were released one season at a time… you’re not gonna get a better opportunity… the video quality isn’t good enough to warrant a Blu-ray buy even if one were available… get it… get it now! 🙂
