Description of Platinum Comedy Series - Dave Chappelle - Killin' Them Softly:
Killin' Them Softly is easily one of HBO's best comedy specials, catching star Dave Chappelle at a career high in 2000 and with an abundance of hysterical, highly polished material. Taking his time, stretching concepts and bits like a master, Chappelle plunges into a wealth of anecdotes and observations about the influx of white people into Washington, D.C. (where this show was recorded) since the 1980s. ("Who are the scariest people? White guys in black gangs. No telling what they did to get respect.") There are fantastic tales of racing cops with Chappelle's white friend, Chip, and a great story about being left alone in a limousine outside a busy crack house. Other good stuff: introducing a kid to a PePe Le Pew cartoon and realizing too late the skunk is a sex criminal, and why we should know our 911 calls will end up played on television. --Tom Keogh
Platinum Comedy Series - Dave Chappelle - Killin' Them Softly Reviews:
Great Comedy DVD. 
2009-10-06 - I like Chappelle for the most part - some better times than others. This I saw on comedy channel - had to have it. It is tame enough to be funny and true enough to keep your attention - without being overly bold! Real life stuff - may be alot on racist stuff - but true to his belief and growing up I am sure. I can see some of the stuff happening... he is funny how he presents this and it really kept me laughing! I just liked this one alot!
DAVE CHAPPELLE's greatest stand up performance DVD available!
2009-06-07 - This is Dave Chappelle in his finest hour! This has to be one of the best stand up comedy performances I have EVER seen from a man who I consider a pure a comedic genius.
Ever since Half Baked I've been a fan so when I saw this in the new release section back in 2003 I decided to buy it. I hadn't seen him perform live so I had no clue really if I'd like it. Like is not the word I'd use to describe how I feel about this DVD! I knew immediately he was going to be BIG! I wasn't wrong!
The man is HILARIOUS from beginning to end. Not since Eddie Murphy's Delirious have I laughed so hard. This is before Chappelle Show, when he was just Dave. He goes through a variety of subjects, some of them the usual topics comedians use like race & relationships but he delivers it with this amazing amount of thought and intelligence behind it and in a way that is so fearless. You know its his own genuine thoughts and he's just being who he is, which don't see often these days. I have seen this DVD dozens of times and it never gets old. It's still relevant 6 years later and just as funny as the first time I saw it. I do have his other stand up DVD and I have to say its good but but it can't touch Killin' Em Softly. You will LOVE this DVD! It's a CLASSIC!
Hilarious. Highly recommended. You will watch again and again.
2009-06-04 - Totally worth the purchase and more. Great to watch alone or with friends. I have a hard time laughing out loud, but this definitely does the trick.
Awesome Routine!!
2009-05-02 - Shipping was fairly quick and the item was not expensive at all, $22.00 Canadian shipping included. Dvd is awesome, gotta love Dave Chappelle
comedy dvd
2009-04-16 - Dave Chappelle is a great comedian, but you are probably already aware of that. I like this one a lot and really like the story about the limo and baby, etc. I highly recommend this to any adult.
