There is no doubt that Dave Chappelle will go down in history as one of the greatest comedians to ever walk the planet due in large part to the special stand-ups that put him on the map and, while he is undoubtedly a masterful narrator, listening to his jokes. it usually asks you to suspend your distrust, because the idea of a baby selling crack cocaine in a corner is as much fun as it is absurd.
Dave Chappelle participated in the absurd when he turned his attention Chappelle’s show, using the sketch comedy format to its advantage, dreaming of a wide variety of ridiculous scenarios and offering viewers Nick Cannon levels of infinite hilarity citable in the process.

Obviously, Chappelle took some creative liberties (Murphy says he played in the clothes he wore to the club), but it seems that the phrase “Shirts against blouses” was actually uttered, and Prince’s team “kicked out Their opponents. Unfortunately, the pancakes didn’t show up, but based on what Murphy said, I have no reason to doubt that they were served after they were served in the yard.
