Not to mention nobody goes around spurting random lines from Maddox's hilarious stuff, whereas if I hear that Rick James thing one more time, I'm gonna kill someone.

Case In Point, by the man himself.

People don't go around quoting Maddox's hilarious stuff because a) it's not hilarious and b) he doesn't have a tenth the audience Dave Chapelle does.

Umm lets see here... I'm have taste?

Oh that's right! You like Maddox. :roll:

Making fun of children's drawings is very tasteful.

Anyway, this is silly. I don't even know why Dave Chapelle is an issue.

Well if you consider "Because I/You am/are black" as a puchline then, I guess go with it. We all have different humor styles. For me I am a VERY dry witty sarcastic kinda guy. I get a laugh at what most people just see as a smirk. To each his own.

I doubt his rants could successfully be carried over to the tv, but that does not mean they are not funny.

It's also not just about mediums they use. Comedy Central thinks Dave Chapelle is worth millions of dollars to put on the air once a week. I doubt Maddox could get his stuff on public access for free.

The bigwhigs in the music industry obviously think Britney and Nsync are worth millions as well, and they are put on the air every farkin day. Does this mean they are more talented than all of the bands that are just barely scraping by?

Anyway, you're comparing apples and oranges. One's a man with a proven comic career and the other is just an angry guy who rants about stuff in a semi-creative way.

Heh, they seem to be one in the same to me.

Sorry, but having your own web site and posting rants on it does NOT constitute a comedic career.

Making thousands of people laugh does, however. And yes, I'm sure Maddox has made thousands of people laugh.

When it gets as many hits as Maddox does, I would.[/quote]

Yeah. No.

Are we going to compare him to Richard Pryor and George Carlin next?

Sorry I didn't see "Compare him..."

But I wouldn't compare Dave to either. Then he would be seen as a copy cat.

Why not? Who cares? You act as if Chappelle is a more sophisticated comedian. I don't deny that he is a funny guy and is a very successful comedian, but not because he has a show on Comedy Central. Chappelle is good a making people laugh, he does his job well. Maddox, while not earning the cash and fame that Dave has, still manages to make people laugh. THAT is a successful comedian.

And I don't disagree that Maddox makes people laugh. I just think his humor is simple and cheap and because of the things he says I think he's a tool.

And I think "I'M RICK JAMES! BITCH!" and "COKE IS A HELLAVU DRUG!" are rather simple and cheap too, yet obviously some people out there find it hilarious.

Though I am not really interrested in continuing this (You can win for all I care). So because Dave makes fun race... That isn't simple or cheap? So Dave Chepelle, because he is black and makes obviously racial jokes, isn't a tool?

Seriously I am just wondering.

Dave Chappelle and Maddox are humorous in their own right. Whos funnier? Well, nobody is paying Maddox millions of dollars per year to appear on TV. Nobody is buying the "Best of Maddox" DVD at $20 a pop. Nobody is paying $50 to see Maddox in concert. Point it, if Maddox charged for his site, the traffic would decrease dramatically. And by decrease dramatically I mean come to a screeching halt. And by come to a screeching halt I mean he has no fvcking hope of ever making a substantial amount of money from his site, let alone even come close to what Chappelle makes

co-worker - ...

co-worker - and to top it all off, it's about comedians

BOSS - ...

*BOSS confronts pulse8*

BOSS - pulse8, I'm really worried about you. You don't seem to be on the same level as everyone else here at the office.

pulse8 - :Q

BOSS - You just seem to be lost, you have lost touch with the real world.

pulse8 - :Q

BOSS - Due to your lack of skill at life in the real world, I'm going to have to let you go. You're Fired.

pulse8 - :Q

BOSS - by the way, Maddox rules.
