Javale McGee, part man, part warewolf, absolute monster

Javale McGee is underratedly one of the best atheltes in the NBA. The size, the length, the athleticism give #34 all of the skills to be a superstar. But boy he is a bonehead sometimes. Since the move to Denver he has calmed down plenty but he still shows some signs of brilliance (or stupidity, depending on how you’re looking at it), but last night, Javale did some things that are a bit unspeakable.

A Battle for the Best Chappelle’s Show Sketch Ever

 

Grantland – I’m not sure if it’s the best show, or the funniest show, or the smartest show, or even the bravest show, but I do know that Chappelle’s Show is hands down, without a close second, the most important show of my life. Since its debut on January 22, 2003, it became one of the few television shows that I watched every week, in real time, the night it aired. There are two reasons for this: (1) It was revolutionary, and (2) it was unacceptable to show up to high school the next day without knowing all the material from the previous night’s episode. Social suicide, the kids still call it. And since the show went off the air in 2006, my weekly intake has only slightly decreased.

There’s nothing I’d call myself an “expert” in, but for all intents and purposes, I have a PhD in “Ashy Larry” from the accredited institution of higher learning known as David Khari Webber Chappelle. For that reason, I feel confident in my abilities to carry this out in the most professionally passionate way possible.

The 11 Rules

1. The 64 entries are sketches, not full episodes.
2. What’s subjective? Inclusion in the field of 64. Feel free to complain.
3. What’s objective? Seedings, which are based on views on comedycentral.com. No complaints allowed.
4. If a long sketch (“Rick James,” “The Mad Real World,” etc.) is split into multiple clips on comedycentral.com, the views were summed.
5. Recurring segments (“Negrodamus,” “Ask a Black Guy,” “Lil Jon”) are treated as separate entries.
6. Sketches that had multiple parts airing at different points of the same episode (“Piss on You,” “Reparations 2003,” “Pixies,” etc.) are treated as one sketch, and the views of their separate parts were summed.
7. End-of-episode musical performances, while extremely important, are not included in this contest. But watch this. Never forget.
8. There is a noticeable bias, by way of views, toward newer clips (Season 3), which is unfortunate because that’s Chappelle’s worst. But know that that doesn’t really matter, because seedings are almost irrelevant.
9. A win = what I feel is the best sketch. Nothing more, nothing less.
10. If you are disgusted by hyperbole, now would be a good time to leave.
11. If you are not well versed in Chappelle, stop now. This isn’t amateur hour. Consider this bracketology’s FINAL BOSS.

 

As many of us start to get older, we look to many of the comedians we watch today and say to ourselves “wow, they really are not as funny as those comics we saw when we were growing up.” And you know what? You are absolutely right.

Yeah we have plenty of funny people today, but I really do not know any comedian more ground and race breaking than Dave Chappelle. Whether you are black, white, blue, yellow, green, or Ronny Turiaf, you have to appreciate what Chappelle did for comedy. He took situations and themes that were always awkward and uncomfortable in society, and made them laughable, bringing everyone closer together. 

With re-runs always on TV, its hard to believe that he walked away from $50 million, just to live on a farm in Ohio. Some will say he pushed the boundaries too far. Some will say he wanted to go out on top. But ten years later, we have to salute the man that changed comedy and how we look at each other forever. 

Racial Draft is my personal favorite, but the debate is never ending.
