00:14You can't have a conversation about sketch comedy series without mentioning this comedian's short-lived show.
00:23Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 sketches from Chappelle.
00:35For this list, we're taking a look at the defining sketches from this acclaimed comedy show that was never afraid
00:41to tackle society's most controversial hot topics.
00:55Number 10
01:02When it comes to racial slurs, is it the word itself that makes it offensive, or the context?
01:08Chappelle, being the inquisitive host he was, decided to explore this concept the only way he knew how.
01:14Is Tim still asleep?
01:15I think so.
01:17He sure is one lazy nigger.
01:19This controversial sketch features a suburban white family that just so happens to carry an unfortunate last name,
01:26which, as you can imagine, makes for some more than interesting scenarios and double entendres.
01:32Jenny has a date tonight with a nigger boy from school.
01:35What? Oh, God, no!
01:37No, Teddy, that's his name, Timmy Nigger.
01:40Oh, of course.
01:42Behind the comedy, the sketch speaks volumes about our society's social conditioning
01:47and what we consider politically incorrect.
01:50Something show smells good.
01:52You niggas cooking?
01:53We sure are.
01:55There's some leftover bacon if you'd like some.
01:57Ooh, nothing for me.
01:58I know better than to get between a nigger and their pork.
02:02Number 9
02:02Making the Band
02:04The bad news is that I'm shutting down the studio.
02:10The good news is that I just saved a lot of money on my car and stuff.
02:15Reality TV shows do a pretty good job at making fun of themselves on their own,
02:19but that doesn't quite save it from Chappelle's critique.
02:22Go out there and get daddy ahead.
02:25I'm gonna take a nap.
02:31This sketch parodies hip-hop mogul P. Diddy's MTV series Making the Band
02:36and hilariously sums up the show's numerous shortcomings.
02:40You trying to get some of this hot fire?
02:42You can either make this song or not make this song.
02:46You're too close, man.
02:47You're too close.
02:48The selected band members never seem to get to record any music,
02:52and their boss's random assignments do nothing but lead the team astray.
02:56You can live here, you can record here, you can be fanboy artists here,
03:01but if you want to do it, first y'all gotta walk to Queens and get me a sugar cookie.
03:07The comedic depiction of the cast is what really puts us in stitches
03:10and allows us to meet the self-proclaimed best rapper of all time.
03:14We're the five best rappers of all time.
03:17Think about it.
03:21Dylon, Dylon, Dylon, Dylon, Dylon, because I spit hot fire.
03:27Number 8.
03:28A moment in the life of Lil Jon.
03:30It's me.
03:31What?
03:32It's me.
03:33Lil Jon.
03:35Okay!
03:36When in times of great despair, sometimes you are your own best listener.
03:41In this sketch, audiences look into the mind of one of hip-hop's greatest hype men.
03:45Along with posing as the performer,
03:48Chappelle gets the real Lil Jon to appear on the show
03:50and illustrate an intimate phone conversation with himself.
03:54Don't you like popsicles?
03:56What?
03:56I said, don't you like popsicles?
03:58What?
03:59I said, don't you like popsicles?
04:00Yeah!
04:01What?
04:02What?
04:02Yeah!
04:03Okay!
04:05Amid all the various, yeah, what, and okays, Lil Jon unveils some of his deepest disturbances
04:11and shows a side of himself not commonly seen.
04:14I said, sometimes I feel like I'm all alone in this world and I have no one, sir.
04:21What?
04:22No one.
04:23What?
04:23To go to.
04:24Huh?
04:25No one that understands my pain.
04:29Yeah!
04:30The two end their phone call abruptly, and while they couldn't hear each other,
04:33we're sure they both understood each other perfectly.
04:36Brother?
04:37Yeah!
04:37What?
04:38Melt him down!
04:40Ah!
04:41Bye, nigga!
04:42You've just watched The Moment in the Life of Lil Jon.
04:45Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?
04:50Have you ever found out who your friend really was once it was too late?
04:53No?
04:54Just Dave?
04:55After seemingly taking over Chappelle's show, Wayne Brady shares his and Dave's eventful
05:00night out.
05:01Oh, shit, it's Wayne Brady, son!
05:03Oh, shit!
05:05Oh, shit!
05:07Oh, motherfucker!
05:09Riverside, motherfucker!
05:10Contrary to the joyful and charismatic straight arrow Brady portrays on television,
05:15the comedian is soon revealed to be a homicidal pimp with a short temper.
05:19She is not gonna believe that this happened.
05:22That's cause she is never gonna know about it, bitch.
05:24What?
05:26Throughout their drive, Brady coerces Dave to take drugs,
05:30to become an accessory to murder,
05:32and to listen to his delusions of grandeur.
05:34Take it!
05:35Come on, smoke it.
05:36I don't wanna smoke.
05:37This is not an option, nigga.
05:38If you do not smoke this, we have a problem.
05:41Just when you think you know a guy.
05:43Ah!
05:45I'm Wayne Brady, Ben!
05:52Sometimes the inner pursuit of crack leaves me tired and depleted,
05:57but now cocaine comes in a delicious shape.
06:00Red Balls!
06:02Make no mistake, drug addiction is a serious problem,
06:05and Chappelle opted to show everybody just how severe it could be
06:08with the conception of this character.
06:11Tyrone Biggums is much like your everyday community member,
06:14but he just so happens to be addicted to crack.
06:16I love this drink!
06:18Thank you, Red Balls!
06:20He's often comically depicted as a hygienically challenged homeless man
06:24with an exaggeratedly high voice.
06:26His various skits have shown him sponsoring a cocaine-infused energy drink,
06:30Cocaine in a can, baby!
06:32Speaking to an elementary class on the dangers of the drug,
06:36Drugs and alcohol have ruined my life.
06:41Being featured on Fear Factor,
06:43Fear is never a factor, Joe Rogan.
06:45I'm trying to get some crack rocks.
06:47And even attending a less-than-successful drug intervention.
06:51Is this a 5 o'clock free crack giveaway?
06:53Shazam!
06:54Shazam!
06:58FUBU is now the world's largest corporation
07:02after merging with Kentucky Fried Chicken.
07:04This is another amazing development on an already amazing day, Chuck.
07:08If you're a fan of this comedian's work,
07:09then you recognize how keen he is on hypotheticals.
07:13This sketch entertains the idea of how the U.S. would react
07:16if African Americans received $1 trillion in reparations for slavery.
07:21Folks, I am happy to report that the recession
07:23is now officially over,
07:25and we have nobody to thank but all these black people
07:28with their taste for expensive clothes,
07:30fancy cars, and, of course, gaudy jewelry.
07:33As reported by anchorman Chuck Taylor and his team,
07:36the country gets flipped on its head
07:38as various stocks on Wall Street skyrocket.
07:40Sprint stock has skyrocketed
07:43after the news that 2 million delinquent phone bills
07:46have been paid just this morning.
07:48Incredible.
07:49Crime drops to 0%.
07:51The crime rate has fallen to 0%.
07:55How could that be?
07:57Did the Mexicans get money today, too?
07:59And Bill Gates gets dethroned
08:01as the world's richest man by Harlem resident Tron.
08:05Bill Gates has been overtaken.
08:07By whom, you ask?
08:09A Harlem resident named simply Tron.
08:13Number 4, the racial draft.
08:15Unbelievable.
08:16Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice now officially white.
08:19O.J. Black again.
08:21What a day.
08:23Racial ambiguity can be a beautiful thing,
08:26but oftentimes confusing.
08:28In an attempt to resolve some of the biggest questions
08:30regarding biracial athletes and celebrities,
08:33Chappelle hosted the first,
08:34and most likely only ever, racial draft.
08:37Okay.
08:38Guess whose turn it is?
08:40White people.
08:41Let's see what direction they go in.
08:43Halle Berry is still available,
08:44as is Mariah Carey's crazy ass.
08:47In this, we see star golfer Tiger Woods
08:50getting drafted into the black community.
08:52I always wanted to say this.
08:55For shizzle.
08:56Lenny Kravitz becoming fully Jewish.
08:58We, the Jewish people,
09:00take Lenny Kravitz.
09:03And even more ridiculous incidences,
09:05such as hip-hop group The Wu-Tang Clan
09:07becoming accepted by the Chinese delegation.
09:10The Chinese delegation pulling a fast one
09:13and choosing the entire Wu-Tang Clan.
09:16Wu-Tang!
09:17Wu-Tang!
09:18This is big, boss.
09:20Number 3.
09:21Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories, Prince.
09:24This bores me.
09:26Is anyone up for a game of basketball?
09:32Prince is revered
09:34as one of the most respected musical talents alive.
09:37But would you have ever imagined him
09:39to have some slick moves on the court?
09:41Charlie Murphy didn't,
09:42as he returned for another segment
09:44of True Hollywood Stories
09:46to recite the tale of the day he met Prince.
09:49Prince had on like a,
09:50it was like a Zorro-type outfit.
09:53It had the ruffles that come down the front.
09:55We had the big perms fluffed out and all that.
09:58Murphy recalls the two meeting at a nightclub
10:00before retreating to the pop star's personal pad.
10:03In the spur of the moment,
10:05Prince challenges Murphy and his crew
10:07to a game of basketball that he wouldn't soon forget.
10:10How about you and your friends
10:12versus me and the revolution?
10:15Underestimating Prince and the revolution,
10:17Murphy gets schooled Purple Rain style
10:20before being served breakfast by the winning squad.
10:23After it was all over,
10:26he took us in the house and served us pancakes.
10:30Number two,
10:31Frontline,
10:32Clayton Bigsby.
10:33Clayton Bigsby,
10:34the author?
10:36What,
10:37you don't think I can write them books?
10:39Just because I'm blind don't mean I'm dumb.
10:42Most comics prefer to tread lightly onto the scene
10:44with their television show debut,
10:46but Chappelle isn't most comics.
10:48With his first episode,
10:50Chappelle introduces yet another hilarious hypothetical
10:52of a blind African-American man
10:55that is raised as a white supremacist.
10:57How could this have happened?
11:00A black, white supremacist.
11:02When he finally agrees to an interview with Frontline,
11:05Clayton Bigsby's true identity
11:07finally reaches the masses.
11:09Show us your face.
11:10We want to see your face.
11:12Who said that?
11:13You want to see my face?
11:14Clayton, go home, brother.
11:16His family and peers have kept the secret from him
11:18for his own protection
11:19and for the good of the movement.
11:21He was the only Negro we'd ever had around here,
11:24so we figured we'd make it easier on Clayton
11:28by just telling him
11:29and all the other blind kids
11:31that he was white.
11:33However,
11:33he finally makes his big reveal at a KKK rally
11:36where the reactions are priceless.
11:38Don't wait and pray!
11:40Hey!
11:41Hey!
11:42Hey!
11:42Hey!
11:43Hey!
11:44Hey!
11:46Hey!

11:50Hey!
11:51Hey!
11:53Hey!
11:54Before we unveil our pick for Top Chappelle Show sketch,
11:56here are some honorable mentions.
11:58Samuel Jackson!
12:00It's my beer!
12:02Yes, they deserve to die,
12:04and I hope they burn in hell!
12:06Is pimping easy?
12:10Hell yeah.
12:11Somehow that is correct.
12:13It's a boo-up, it's on you,
12:14I'll pee on you.
12:17Won't you break my hand?
12:28The winner of the 9th Annual Player Hater of the Year award is Silky Johnstam!

13:03One of the best singers, one of the best looking motherfuckers you've ever seen.
13:06Hold my drink, bitch.
13:07Hollywood can be a crazy place.
13:09And it was this defining sketch that let us know just how crazy it got for Charlie Murphy in the
13:1480s.
13:15Charlie Murphy!
13:19That was great!
13:22Being Eddie Murphy's brother allowed Charlie to rub shoulders with a lot of prominent celebrities of the era.
13:27Such as R&B legend Rick James.
13:30Fuck your couch, nigga!
13:31Buy another one, you rich motherfucker!
13:33Fuck your couch, nigga!
13:35Fuck your couch!
13:36Godmases! Godmases!
13:39Murphy's story highlighted the singer's insufferable behavior and drug problem.
13:43And how we'd often have to check him once he got out of line.
13:46I kicked the shit out of you.
13:51This single sketch shaped the show into what it became.
13:55And is also credited for containing Chappelle's most famous line.
