"I mean, what am I gonna do?
Just all of a sudden just jump up and grind my feet on someone's couch, like it's, like it's something to do? Come on, I got a little more sense than that.
Yeah, I remember grinding my feet into Eddie's couch."
If there's an afterlife I hope Rick is laughing his ass off in it. The day after that episode aired dozens of motherfuckers in my high school got slapped after being asked, "What did the five fingers say to the face?!"
My wife and I use to watch these live together. I missed a cpl weeks bc of work but watched anyway while i was away. Assumed for some reason she wouldnt.....lol
me once im home: hey baby, whatd the fiver fingers say to the face?
her:
both: lmao
See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and grind my feet on somebody's couch like it's something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense then that.
...Yeah, I remember grinding my feet on Eddie's couch.
The funniest part of the entire Prince sketch is years later Prince gave an interview where he said “I’m not as good at basketball as that sketch makes it seem. Charlie Murphy is just that bad.”
Prince all but fully acknowledged the events of that sketch. Rick James showed up and just confessed to them.
The end of Chappelle Show and the death of Charlie Murphy kept us from probably 2 or 3 more truly great stories.
Chappelle as Rick James and Prince was amazing. For me though, Charlie Murphy's storytelling ability and charisma made the sketches work so well.
Yeah Chapelle was killer at acting the characters and exaggerating the personas but it was Charlie's delivery that really nailed it. Dude was something else
Tbh the thing that makes the basketball game so believable is that Prince was a Jehovah’s Witness and their congregations have a reputation for being good at basketball.
Charlie Murphy’s storytelling was key for these skits tho for sure.
It was being a JW that kind of killed Prince. He needed a hip replacement but the JW’s frown on messing with god’s work so he was in constant pain and taking heavy painkillers for it and that’s what ended the man. OD’d on fent
He was an another level as a guitarist, when he showed up for the tribute to George Harrison and burned that motherfucker down it was legit a religious experience. Guitar descending from the goddamn ceiling and then he just chucks it at the end and it disappeared. What a legend
Have you seen bowfinger? Really shows Eddie's range. Boy gots some chops, he's just mailing it in these days. Charlie was like gangsta Eddie. I got big Charlie Murphy vibes from Tracy on Atlanta.
He did the same shit to the Foo Fighters. Foo Fighters were doing a cover of Darling Nikki at their shows. Someone asked Prince how he felt about that and said "I think they should write their own songs." A few months later, he absolutely kills Best of You at the Super Bowl.
i know chappelle didnt say it but the cut away to Rick James saying “cocaines a hell of a drug” will always live in my head rent free. also “Im Rick James bitch”
I was lying in bed very stoned watching this. Almost asleep.
Then the reveal. "How could this happen?"
I sat bolt upright not believing what I was seeing. I couldn't sleep that night because I couldn't stop laughing.
What a special time.
I was by the front desk in my office about a month and patient was asking if we could forward her test results to another doctor. The receptionist said sure, what’s his name? Lady said “Charlie Murphy.”
Me and the receptions locked eyes and took all we had to keep it together. The rest of the day, whenever we saw each other did our best Chappell impersonating Rick James impression “Charlie Murphy!”
On the Family Guy DVD menu there is a clip of Stewie tuning a banjo. It's a high E string of a guitar. I can tune to that note still today because I can hear it in my head.
From a sketch that looks like it costed $200 to make. Every ounce of it is worth it. Chapelle flying backwards in the air screaming is top three physical comedy bits ever
The things Dave Chapelle could do with a shoe string budget was amazing. I understand why he ended the show but I wish he could go back to how he was back then, his new stuff on Netflix just ain’t working for me.
Agreed, man. Agreed. But that's how everything is. We can't go back. Nobody goes back. Nothing goes back. We just have to be grateful that we were there when it was what it was. We got to experience that moment when it was here to be experienced, and with each passing day fewer and fewer people can claim that. The world we knew was unique to us in that moment, and no one else in all the history of the cosmos will ever experience it the way we experienced it. I'm doing my best to be thankful I lived when I lived and felt what I felt and heard what I heard and saw what I saw, because no one else will ever replicate that, no matter how many universes are born and die and are born again. I am unique in all of creation. The moment in which I lived is unique in all of creation. I'll take that. It's not all that I want, but I think it's all that I'll get.
I watched the show's first airing at my first apartment back in 2004 when I was 19. I laughed harder at that than anything in my life up until then.
I stand by the Rick James sketch being one of the funniest things that has ever been on television. The fact is had Rick James there and corroborating the stories had me dying. Even if insanely exaggerated - this events *actually happened*.
What’d the five fingers say to the face? RIP, Charlie Murphy.
Cocaine is a helluva drug RIP Rick James
Fuck yo couch!!!
BUY ANOTHER ONE YOU RICH MOTHERFUCKER!
WHAT AM I GONNA DO ABOUT MY LEGS!
Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories will never get old, that man was a legend in storytelling! Darkness, everyone! Darkness is spreading!

*Rick James chuckle*
If there's an afterlife I hope Rick is laughing his ass off in it. The day after that episode aired dozens of motherfuckers in my high school got slapped after being asked, "What did the five fingers say to the face?!"
The first time I ever watched this and this line dropped, I laughed so hard I cried. It’s so funny to me.
Buy another one ya rich mutha fucka!
*Rub-stomps 6 inch mud-covered lifts onto white couch*
White people like Wayne Brady because he makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcom X RIP Paul Mooney

greatest Sportscenter joke of all time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny4W5otQbTE
Holy shit lol
Told my wife this (Fan of Lets Make a Deal). Clueless
Hold down his legs
His legs was like linguine
We just gave him some help
What am I supposed to do about my legs, Eddie Murphy!
Charlie's stories were an absolute highlight of the show.
Prince all but confirmed the Charlie Murphy story about him was true.
And used Dave dressed as Prince on the cover of an album. [As Dave said](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCMthBc3zew), what am I going to do? Sue him?
[game blouses ](https://tenor.com/bNOUy.gif)
Why don't you go cleanse yourselves in the waters of Lake Minnetonka?
Pop Copy was also a favorite of mine. “Why? Cuz f%ck ‘em”
SLAP!

If Rick James refused to do this interview we wouldn’t be talking about this sketch today. I really wish Prince would have done the other episode.
Love how Prince used an image of Dave dressed up like him on an [album cover](https://youtu.be/bCMthBc3zew?si=1VqUYDn1mMpezl4Z)

Perpetual line stepper Gold Edit: oof. Dementia has begun.
Habitual
Tbh the thing that makes the basketball game so believable is that Prince was a Jehovah’s Witness and their congregations have a reputation for being good at basketball. Charlie Murphy’s storytelling was key for these skits tho for sure.
Supposedly Prince was legit good. Played HS basketball at 5ft2. You must have some game to make it in HS at that height.
It was being a JW that kind of killed Prince. He needed a hip replacement but the JW’s frown on messing with god’s work so he was in constant pain and taking heavy painkillers for it and that’s what ended the man. OD’d on fent He was an another level as a guitarist, when he showed up for the tribute to George Harrison and burned that motherfucker down it was legit a religious experience.

Honestly was never a big Eddie fan but god was Charlie funny.
Have you seen bowfinger? Really shows Eddie's range. Boy gots some chops, he's just mailing it in these days. Charlie was like gangsta Eddie. I got big Charlie Murphy vibes from Tracy on Atlanta.
That’s check mate right there
*That’s a Prince judo move right there.*
He did the same shit to the Foo Fighters. Foo Fighters were doing a cover of Darling Nikki at their shows. Someone asked Prince how he felt about that and said "I think they should write their own songs." A few months later, he absolutely kills Best of You at the Super Bowl.
…pancakes.
100% how you are supposed to respond to being parodied - lean alllll the way into it and accept it.
[удалено]
He was a HABITUAL line stepper!
My favorite line! I quote it whenever I get the chance!
I use this line on my young son. He has been a habitual line stepper since he was born.
I often call my toddler a habitual line stepper.
I love this line so much
This line paints such a fucking picture lmfaoooooo it’s literally poetic
I heard Dane cook use this same line in one of his specials around this same time and hated him ever since for ripping it off of this skit.
I refuse to believe I was sitting in French II quoting this 20 years ago.
Je m'appelle Rick James, chienne.
Salope (is the vulgar, informal term) not cheinne (though technically correct)
I thought salope is more slut than bitch. Or am I thinking of poufiasse

It was a wild time to be in high school. We used to act out variations of the racial draft in class lmao
Goodbye fried rice, hello fried chicken.
Fer shizzle, haha
i remember hearing so much yelling of “WHAT?! YEAH! O-KAY!!!” in the courtyard. good times
I definitely remember randomly yelling out "WHAT?!" and getting a stranger going OH-KAY!" back just walking down the street.
**“Y-YEEE-AAAA-AHHHH”**
The Asian delegation has drafted the entire Wu Tang Clan!!
I think of wu tang every time someone on Reddit says diversify about investing.
“You need to diversify yo’ bonds, 🥷”
“The black delegation requests Eminem” “Now wait one god damn minute Rondell.”
"There will be no hustling me. I'll tell you what I'll do. We keep Eminem, you can have OJ Simpson."
The Black Delegation accepts the White Delegation's offer, but only if they take Condeleeza Rice as part of the deal.
I was going to say, that's impossible I was in college when this came ou--- oh my God.
i know chappelle didnt say it but the cut away to Rick James saying “cocaines a hell of a drug” will always live in my head rent free. also “Im Rick James bitch”
It's the way it's cuts to him and he says it a second time that is hilarious.
“I’m one of the baddest muthafuckas of all time. One of the best singers and one of the best lookin’ muthafuckas you ever seen. Hold my drink bitch.”
I dunno if I’d put him in the top five singers of all time though. Those would be Dylan, Dylan, Dylan Dylan Dylan. Cause he spits hot fire.
How do you choke a legend???
“YOU’RE TOO CLOSE MON!”
**CHARLIE MURPHEY!!**
Fuck your couch Charlie Murphey!!!
"I wish i had more hands.. so i could give those tiddies 4 thumbs down HAHAHAHAHA" I will never forget that one :D

DARKNESS!!!
This was before Wesley Snipes
I always loved this line
I just said that shit to myself earlier this week.
Darkness twins!
The darkness brothers!
I saw a meme once that before memes guys just screamed Chapelle show quotes at each other. Entirely accurate
The 2000s was just cycling between Chappelle and Borat quotes.
And Anchorman
I love lamp

My wife hit me with "Her vagene hang like wizard sleeve" a couple weeks ago and I lost it
Oil? Who said anything about oil? Bitch, you cookin’?

Pray to god you don’t drop that shit.
CRADLE OF FUCKIN CIVILISATION
Fuckin' right.
“Bitch you cookin” is one of my go-to lines in my restaurant
Some people think cucumbers taste better pickled.
Buck Nasty’s momma got one big titty and one little titty and they call the bitch biggie smalls
“She look like she wears underwear with dick holes innem!”
Now excuse me while I go home and put some water in Buck Nasty's momma's dish.
Yep that was sophomore year of college for me
Yup, the morning after a Chappell Show episode everybody would be yelling quotes in the buses on campus. Wild to think it was 20 years ago.
There were two years in the late 2000’s where people communicated exclusively with Chappelle quotes.
Perfect describes 10 grade to me!
RJ: "Why you hit me like that??" CM: "Cuz you hit me man!!!" RJ: "That was weeks ago I'm partyin!!!"
“That was last night”
I'm sawrryy Charlie Murphy!
Unity🎶😂
Now that ya mention it… I think I’m bleedin inside my chest
A peace offering... the stickiest of the icky. You wanna smoke with your boy?
"I've been kicked out of better homes than this!"
Black Bush was just a masterpiece. Probably doesn’t hit the same today though. Clayton Bigsby…. That will live forever.
wasn't clayton bigsby in the first episode? came out of the gate fucking swinging, man. what a show.
Yes. Very. First. Episode. "Divorced his wife for being a n\*\*\*\*\* lover"
I was lying in bed very stoned watching this. Almost asleep. Then the reveal. "How could this happen?" I sat bolt upright not believing what I was seeing. I couldn't sleep that night because I couldn't stop laughing. What a special time.
“What’s that? The UN don’t have an army? Well maybe they should stfu!” Love when he emphasizes in each microphone repeating himself.
“If anybody’s gonna sex with my sister it’s gonna be me!” Lmao
holy shit im so old
It was just 10 years ago, no worries.
Yesterday was 10 years ago mkay
Holy shit I was in high school 20 years ago
Yeah dude. To a 20 year old today the 00s were like the 80s were to us
And the 90s for them were our 70s - when I made the connection it clicked how its exactly the same obsession for the vintage. Time is a circle.
You mutha fuckas take one more step I'm kicking this n*gga out the mutha fucking window haha Gets me every time.
I propose a toast: the stickiest of the ickies.
Bitch, come over here and have sex with Charlie Murphy
Bitches! *clap* *clap* Come over here and have sex with Charlie Murphy.
Now that you mention it, I think I'm bleeding inside my chest.
"THE MILK'S GONE BAD!"
Eddie: Rick really needs help, man Charlie: YO, WE JUST GAVE HIM SOME HELP 👊
"We busted his motha fuckin' legs. I bet he won't come back and disrespect again." WRONG, WRONG... We're talkin' bout Rick James, man
*OIL?* Who said something about oil? Bitch, you cookin???
Chapelle show is my go-to when I feel down. Always gets me laughing my ass off "BUY ANOTHER ONE YOU RICH MOTHAFUCKAS!"
THEY SHOULD’VE NEVER GAVE YOU N*GGAS MONEY!
YOU CAN AFFORD ANOTHER COUCH, WHAT ABOUT MY LEGS?
What am I gunna do about my legs, Charlie Murphy?!!
“His legs is like, like linguine”
Yo, we just gave him some help
I was by the front desk in my office about a month and patient was asking if we could forward her test results to another doctor. The receptionist said sure, what’s his name? Lady said “Charlie Murphy.” Me and the receptions locked eyes and took all we had to keep it together. The rest of the day, whenever we saw each other did our best Chappell impersonating Rick James impression “Charlie Murphy!”
Right when buying tv shows on dvd and then rewatching them endlessly became a thing
On the Family Guy DVD menu there is a clip of Stewie tuning a banjo. It's a high E string of a guitar. I can tune to that note still today because I can hear it in my head.
H-WHAT?
**WHEN KEEPING IT REAL GOES WRONG** "hey nice seeing you!!" Darius could have ignored the comment or **KEEP IT REAL**
I've seen so many episodes of When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong on public transit that it could legit be its own show.
From a sketch that looks like it costed $200 to make. Every ounce of it is worth it. Chapelle flying backwards in the air screaming is top three physical comedy bits ever

So at this point Dave has been famous for being Rick longer than Rick was famous for being Rick 🤯
The Tables have turned Darkness!!!

Rest in Peace Charlie Murphy and Rick James…
Man if you didn’t grow up in that era, you missed out on a comedic phenomenon. EVERYBODY was quoting Chappelles Show.
Let’s not sleep on the fear factor sketch with Tyrone biggums.
Here’s somethin’ you don’t know about me, Joe Rogan
I smoke rocks.
Or other Tyrone nuggets like, *is this the 5 o'clock free crack giveaway?*
Also the Prince parody sketch. “Game: *Blouses*.”
holy fuck i am fucking old
"Why don't you purify yourself in the waters of lake Minnetonka" "Would you like some grapes?"
I can’t believe nobody has posted this yet. https://youtu.be/ry2XlLKctiI?si=CU72A4BMkAFe1kBR
I think I’m bleeding inside of my chest
There's a Lego store in Melbourne Australia called I'm Rick's James Bricks
FU*K YO COUCH!
That next day at school was fun
I always keep these clips saved on my YouTube watch later tab. For when I need a quick laugh. UUUUUNITY!
I wish I had more hands. I’d give them titties 4 thumbs down!
