A prankster with a mile-wide grin, Dave Chappelle knows no bounds when it comes to machine-gunned ridicule.

The quick sketches, parodies and one-liners of Chappelle's Show fit him like a glove.

These sketches are freaking hilarious. Absolutely funny, funny stuff.

Like Richard Pryor, George Carlin, and dozens of other comedians before him, Chappelle is incredibly interested in the contextual power of words.
