Chappelle's show vs. The Chris Rock show

Post by smjmcomic »

I'm gona have to take Chappelle's show just by a hair Chris Rock's show was fun to watch and all but they had a few skits that were just lame and not funny at all. Dave's show has just seemed to be getting better the writting is great Dave is just plum funny......But when it comes to stand up Rock owns Chappelle.

smjmcomic,

i take dave anyday of the week. i think chris rock is good... but even in standup i STILL give it to dave.

chris rock says funny stuff... but i think he is a bit too preachy at times. dave chappelle has an awesome style to just sit and enjoy.

I'll definitely go with the chappelle show. He's doing it all out. As far as stand up, Both have real good material. I think dave is lil more dynamic as a performer and actor, And that's evident in their on stage performances.

cire,
Yeah Chris Rock's brother can act better than him(he co-stars in "All of Us" on UPN).But he is a great standup.Dave has got that "skit" shit down.I did like Chris's guest segments just because it was topical.

bingolong,
yeah Tony Rock came through here not too long ago. I thought he was real good. I haven't seen too much of him on tv, but he's definitely talented.

cire,

yeah, personally i think tony rock is not bad... but thats tough to break in after your brother is so huge. you have to convince a lot of people you arent riding coat tails to get anywhere. im rootin for him though.
