Platinum Comedy Series - Dave Chappelle - Killin' Them Softly

Starring:Dave Chappelle
Studio: Urban Works
Product Type: DVD

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Killin' Them Softly is easily one of HBO's best comedy specials, catching star Dave Chappelle at a career high in 2000 and with an abundance of hysterical, highly polished material. Taking his time, stretching concepts and bits like a master, Chappelle plunges into a wealth of anecdotes and observations about the influx of white people into Washington, D.C. (where this show was recorded) since the 1980s. ("Who are the scariest people? White guys in black gangs. No telling what they did to get respect.") There are fantastic tales of racing cops with Chappelle's white friend, Chip, and a great story about being left alone in a limousine outside a busy crack house. Other good stuff: introducing a kid to a PePe Le Pew cartoon and realizing too late the skunk is a sex criminal, and why we should know our 911 calls will end up played on television. --Tom Keogh

HILARIOUS.......2007-04-23

DAVE CHAPPELLE TRULY IS ONE OF THE BEST COMEDIANS. THIS STAND-UP COMEDY DVD IS HILARIOUS. BUT NOW DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID. THERE IS ANOTHER DVD THAT'S THE SAME SHOW BUT IN A DIFFERENT NAME "FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH". SO DON'T BUY BOTH CUZ IT'S THE SAME EXACT SHOW. I HAD "FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH" AND THEN I BROUGHT THIS ONE NOT KNOWING IT WAS THE SAME. BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE U GOTTA SEE. U WILL LAUGH YOUR HEART OUT

Killin' Them Softly.......2007-03-11

Dave Chappelle is funny...this one has got to be one of his best stand-ups.

This is Dave Chapelles' Best Work!.......2007-02-07

This DVD is so Hilarious. If you have seen his TV show....you havn't seen anything! His standup is so much better than his TV show. If you want to laugh and laugh, buy this. It is my favorite! My family has watched it over 10 times!

One of the single best stand-up specials ever.......2006-10-09

Dave Chappelle's Killin' Them Softly ranks up there with the best. What really differentiates Chappelle from other comedians, something I don't often see mentioned in his evaluations, is his nack for subtle humor. Although his material is outrageous in concept, his delivery is what makes it so brilliant. He throws in little words here and there, facial expressions, and masterfully realized impressions that are all made with such a laid-back delivery. It's subtle. He captures emotions. Seriously, it's not hype... the man is a brilliant comedian. Even if you're not a fan of Chappelle's Show, you'll love this special.

Can't go wrong with Chappelle.......2006-07-19

With the rising success of Dave Chappelle came -Killin' Them Softly-, one of the funniest and popular stand up specials to date. Almost everything he talks about in this will keep you laughing. It may be the typical things an African-American comedian might talk about, but it is down right hilarious the way Dave presents it.

My favorites would be:

- Taped 9-1-1 call - "Help! Help Mutha F**ka They Comin' Ta Get Me!"
- Ditched in the Ghetto - "Hey Baby! Baby go home... what the F**k are you doin' up!"
- Discovering old shows - "B***H I LIVE IN A F**KING TRASH CAN"
- Clinton/Bush/First Black presidency (By far the best one)
- Chivalry

55 minutes of sheer hysteria in one stand up by one man. Of course getting the DVD would be good, but I would actually recommend downloading it because of quick access to it. With a DVD you have to put it in the computer or DVD player and wait to then play it, but when you have it already on your computer you can just run it with a media player. Nonetheless, the point is to see this if you haven't.
