Editorial Review:
Comedian Dave Chappelle does what he does best in this outrageous and hilarious standup performance which allows him to really push the envelope and go even farther than he does on his TV show. Taped in San Francisco at the famed Fillmore Chappelle lets loose on such topics as black celebrities what it's like to have raunchy fans of his TV show approach him while he's trying to enjoy Disneyland with his kids Michael Jackson Kobe Bryant and crackheads of course.System Requirements:Running Time: 58 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: NR UPC: 043396109773 Manufacturer No: 10977
Description of Dave Chappelle - For What It's Worth:
Dave Chappelle-For What It's Worth finds the Comedy Central superstar in performance at San Francisco's legendary Winterland, where he's welcomed with a huge ovation. Easing into his set, Chappelle shares a few observations about the city itself, noting there's nothing tender about the Tenderloin District: "You've got people smoking crack while sitting in front of Starbucks." Chappelle's inspiration dips a bit after that, as the subject of sex with monkeys and smoking weed with Indians doesn't quite reach his usual standards. Then, suddenly, he's on top of his game again, his material like an echo of vintage Lenny Bruce as he discusses why whites drink grape juice and blacks drink "grape drink," why police harassment has led him to believe in impromptu alibis, and why the culture of celebrity should stay away from real-world issues: "Maybe Jah Rule doesn't have the answers we want in a disaster." --Tom Keogh
Dave Chappelle - For What It's Worth Reviews:
Fear of a Chappelle Planet 
2008-02-03 - Dave Chappelle is the most talented comedian we have out of the current generation being groomed for stardom. Now I know what those that aren't familiar with the comedic ranks will say something like, "Well I've heard so many great things about this Dane Cook guy." Well that's your first mistake, comparing Dane Cook to a comedian (Cook's well known for plagiarism, just ask Robin Williams. Where do you think Dane got the run around stage frantically routine?).
But back to Dave, you know how you can tell he's entertaining - by showing how much fun he's having on stage. And he does that here, you can see it when he tells a joke and then stumbles like he does on this DVD under the fit of his own joy.
The topics he uses are wonderful, and if you like Chappelle Show then you'll know what i'm talking about. He touches on everything you'd exect from the show. I won't go into it cause i'll let Dave offend you if you're too sensitive.
I've lent this to a number of my friends, always wanting to watch it one more time before i give it up, showing you how confident how much this is a great DVD.
The best way to put it: This will be one of those stand up routines you'll be repeating lines from to others.
Side Splitter!
2008-01-08 - The first time I watched this video, I was with my husband who recently died of cancer. He loved funny videos and this one took us both so far out of our sorrow and into our "Happy Place!" I laughed so hard that my husband kept saying to me, "Pammie! Breathe! Breathe!" I couldn't catch my breath! The part about the "hold up" on the bus... OMG! That was hillarious! And the monkey! It went on and on... I didn't get a breather until it was completely OVER because it was funny, start to finish - true Dave Chappelle style! It was GREAT! And Thanks Dave, for the laughs, when laughs weren't always easy to come by... This will always be one of my favorite stand-up comedies of all time!

2007-09-07 - this show is a nice one to see with a buddy, we were laughing through all
I swear, it gets better each time I see it.
2007-08-06 - This is one of the best stand-up specials I've seen in my life thus far, and easily my favorite by Dave Chappelle. He really is at the top of his game here, and shows why he was such a highly respected comedian and entertainer. Most of the bits here are simply hilarious, and even the bits that are less than great are still far better than most other comics out there (*cough* Dane Cook *cough*). I've seen this special over a dozen times, and his delivery here is so spot-on, and his timing so perfect, that it seems more funny each time I watch it. I don't know what the heck he's doing now, but if he ever puts out another DVD like this one, I'll buy it the day it comes out.
How much funnier do you get than this?
2007-06-07 - Dude is at his funniest... get it... own it... he may never get this funny again!
