Dave Chappelle: I'm back, b*tch!

Dave Chappelle is back, only this time he's not funny.

Comedian Dave Chappelle, who walked away from his hit TV series earlier this year, said working in front of smaller audiences is more his speed. Chappelle sold out 10 shows at a northern Kentucky club and said doing standup is "like I'm hanging out with a bunch of people."...

Chappelle has said he was unhappy with the direction of his show. His decision triggered reports that he had mental or drug problems, which he denied. "It was a little weird," he told the newspaper. "It felt like some of the stuff was real tabloid, like raw speculation. "It was like stuff I would normally buy and believe," he added, laughing. "I just took it as a learning experience. It was like becoming a public person and learning all the responsibility that comes with that."

Yeah, I didn't like the direction either. Not enough Rick James humor in season two. And season three would have been much worse. Not alot that is funny about Elijah Muhammed or Malcolm X.

We miss the funny Dave. Come back soon.

1 Screw Dave Chappelle. They should give Charlie Murphy a show.

2 To be honest, I never even thought he was funny. His only jokes were about race.

Screw him.
