Description of Chappelle's Show - Season 2:
Dave Chappelle's shrewd parodies, stinging satires, and boldly imaginative fantasias simply pour from the second season of his Comedy Central show, in every respect as funny as his well-received debut year. The structure is the same: a relaxed Chappelle introduces each sketch to an enthusiastic, studio audience (some of these introductions amount to stand-up routines), and then the madness begins. Among the many highlights from the 13 episodes on this boxed set's three discs is a mock ad for Samuel L. Jackson beer, featuring Chappelle's hilarious impression of Jackson's stern, overbearing persona from Pulp Fiction, and a dozen other features. Chappelle, considering a career in politics, floats a couple of trial campaign commercials, including one that promises to solve America's health care crisis by giving every citizen a fake Canadian I.D. Chappelle also suggests an effective program for teaching sexual abstinence to high school students: Forcing them to watch their principals have sex with the oldest female teachers on staff.
There's a good bit, too, about black soothsayer Negrodamus, whose ability to foresee events is limited to the fortunes of celebrities. Coming under fire (amusingly) are those McDonald's commercials suggesting that burger-flipping employment for African Americans can overhaul inner city communities. But, as with season 1, there are several masterpieces in this collection as well, such as Chappelle's vision of what the Internet would look like if it was a place you could actually, physically visit (with the equivalents of pop-up ads, porn sites, etc.). Equally inspired is a sketch in which a freeloading Chappelle, having impregnated the ultra-rich Oprah Winfrey, indulges his every whim. Best of all is Chappelle's take on what President Bush's administration would look like if the Chief Executive were, in fact, a black man. --Tom Keogh

2009-10-09 - I've lost count how many times I've watched and re-watched these episodes. I still laugh every time.
Chapelle's Show Season 2, The Funniest and Sadly the Last. Funny,In your Face. Short lived sadly.
2009-09-15 - Chapelle's show Season 2 Dvd set. - I find it very funny, Although I can't stand the usual stereotypes of The Reagan/Bush Admin and the little Republican jabs. I find it hilarious, in your face and overall Typical Chappelle, It's too bad he had to sell out and go "find himself" . whatever that means. This Is the Funniest and sadly the last Season. "I'm Rick James!" And my Prince-"Game, Blouses"- Charlie Murphy, Donell,Yoshi, and my favorite "A Moment in the life of Lil' Jon" Yeaaaaaaaaah! What!!? Okay!?
chappelle season 2 
2009-08-25 - Season 2 has some of Chappelle's funniest skits, including the Wayne Brady/Training Day parody and the Black Bush skit. The Bonus disc has extras, and bits of Dave doing his comedy routine.
My only complaint was the delivery time; it took much longer than expected, though it fell within the delivery date window.
??? 
2009-03-20 - I haven't received my item yet. It's been more than a month, and though I've been in contact with the owner I still haven't received anything.
