New 'Chappelle' DVD Becomes Fastest-Selling TV Disc
Dave Chappelle may have gone AWOL from the production of the third season of Comedy Central's 'Chappelle's Show,' but the comic began earning his $50 million last week when the second season's DVD package went on sale. According to Paramount Home Entertainment, 'Chappelle's Show: Season 2 Uncensored' is selling faster than you can say, "I'm Rick James, bitch!"

In fact, the distributor says, since Season 2 hit shelves a week ago, it has surpassed 'Seinfeld: The Complete Fourth Seaso'n to become the fastest-selling TV-series-to-DVD set ever. The May 24 release set a single-day record of 500,000 in sales, while the first-week figure is an unprecedented 1.2 million.

I'M RICK JAMES, BITCH!!!!

1. I saw Chappelle on CC
the other night. I had never seen or heard of him until I started reading about him on DU.

Dave's got his own funny inimitalbe style.

3. I was hyped for the Rick James sketch...
which was easily the WORST sketch of the bunch. Un-funny.

The rest of it is outrageously funny though; MUCH BETTER on the whole than season 1.

Tyrone Biggums in "Red Balls" has got to be the funniest thing ever. If not the A++++ "Fear Factor" parody.

5. indeed he was
5'3" and he could BALL

i worked with a guy last fall on election stuff who went to prince's HS alma mater (and one of his friend's dad was prince's coach)...he said the funniest part about the whole skit was that it was probably, in one way or another, completely true.

6. My favorite sketch. No. 2 is the "Racial Draft."
With the #1 pick in the draft, the blacks select....Tiger Woods!

But back to Prince. The cat can ball. Is seen often at Minnesota Timberwolves games, courtside.

13. Wayne Brady: "Say hello to Dave"
Brady's hos: "Hi Dave!"
Dave: "Evenin' bitches."

Ho: "Thanks Dave, I like your show."
Dave: "Run, bitch! Run for your life, get some help!"

And then there's anything with Paul Mooney.
