Product Description
From Amazon.com
Killin' Them Softly is easily one of HBO's best comedy specials, catching star Dave Chappelle at a career high in 2000 and with an abundance of hysterical, highly polished material. Taking his time, stretching concepts and bits like a master, Chappelle plunges into a wealth of anecdotes and observations about the influx of white people into Washington, D.C. (where this show was recorded) since the 1980s. ("Who are the scariest people? White guys in black gangs. No telling what they did to get respect.") There are fantastic tales of racing cops with Chappelle's white friend, Chip, and a great story about being left alone in a limousine outside a busy crack house. Other good stuff: introducing a kid to a PePe Le Pew cartoon and realizing too late the skunk is a sex criminal, and why we should know our 911 calls will end up played on television. --Tom Keogh

he only feigns the hysteria ...,
By FrizzText "frizz" (Wuppertal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Platinum Comedy Series: Dave Chappelle - Killin' Them Softly (DVD)
Dave (David) Chapelle, born 1973 in Washington D.C., educated at the "Duke Ellington School of The Arts", since 1992 supported by Whoopie Goldberg, is becoming famous now in Germany by his regular comedy show on European MTV. Only a coloured person like him can permit himself racial jokes. But presented by him, relaxed, you have to laugh - nevertheless if you are black or white, asian or latino. He only feigns the hysteria, mocks the enthusiasm, leading suburbian street subcultures back to the roots of reason. I like his joke "Who are the scariest people? White guys in black gangs. No telling what they did to get respect." In "Killin' Them Softly" he creates sketches of the church child up to the drugs consumer, of the "Sesame Street" up to the government, really about everything, which seems to be "typically American": So his brain-work is a wonderful help for Europeans, not to take too seriously the USA ...

This review is from: Platinum Comedy Series: Dave Chappelle - Killin' Them Softly (DVD)
I can't say much, Chappelle is one hilarious guy, he's number three next to Richard Pryor and George Carlin. My favorite skit was the part with Sesame Street. If you love Chappelle, get this!!

This review is from: Platinum Comedy Series: Dave Chappelle - Killin' Them Softly (DVD)
This is a very funny performance from the man himself Dave Chappelle. This performance was in Washington DC and was a 2 hour special he had on HBO. As going into the first hour already I was laughing my (...)! Dave Chappelle talks through the troubles of an average black man. This DVD would have been more better if it had special features. It would have been great if there was an interview with Dave or backstage behind the scene look. But its all good. This performance still covers with its raw sense of mentality. If you have the Chappelle show 1st season in your DVD collection, you have to add this to your collection. A must buy DVD.
