Dave Chappelle has the talent for being a good stand-up comedian. His humor is perfect to entertain you for an hour of laughter. Not only his mimics but also his different voices make this show pleasant to watch. Of course most of the humor, when performed by a black artist, has some racial focus points but that makes it funny and understandable. Anybody from any race knows about the difference of approach by the police to a specific race, it's not a secret, there are differences. Differences that shouldn't been but the police, certainly in America, is just biased and unfair, full of prejudices. Making humor out of it is the best way to deal with it, to mock them. Killin' Them Softly by Dave Chappelle is funny, the kind of humor that I like.

Not bad, but not nearly as good as his later work, especially the TV show on Comedy Central. "Undercover Brother" is when he really broke out and became ridiculously funny. In this one he seems nervous, not completely on top of the crowd as he seems to be in the studio bits of his show. Appears to be pulling punches a bit, even -- definitely not like what he does on the show.Still, some of the funniest stuff out there, and like his fellow genius Chris Rock not nearly as egregiously foulmouthed as others like Eddie Griffin."Sesame Street" bit alone is worth the price of rental -- I see the Count in a whole new light.

Dave Chappelle is funny -- Not funny like Richard Pryor, or Eddie Murphy, or Redd Fox. But funny like Dave Chappelle. The guy has a certain genius to the comedy he does, while at the same time letting it all hang out, tickling every funny bone in my body! "Killin' Them Softly" is the funniest stand-up comedy performance I've seen in years! And Chappelle is one of the funniest comedians, who'll be around for years!! FUNNY-FUNNY-FUNNY!!!

I'm a whiteguy that just loves Daves impersonations of my race. We have our shortcomings and he points them all out and makes it darn funny :) my favorite line was (a white man watching a black man eat chicken) "Look at him! It's just like the encyclopedia said" hahaha loved it!
