Chappelle’s Show Is Back On Netflix With Dave Chappelle’s Full Blessing (They Paid Him Millions Of Dollars)

What a play by Chappelle. Tell your fans to stop watching your old shit on a platform that didn’t exist when it aired until Viacom cuts you a new check. Using your own clip of Prince saying, “Game. Blouses.” as an exclamation point to announce your victory is an all time flex. Having Donnell Rawlings yell, “I’M RICH, BIOTCH,” to a crowd after announcing your newest million is Vince Carter at the Dunk Contest caliber showmanship. 

And I know capitalism is evil and all corporations are bad and blahblahblah, but Netflix deserves a lot of credit for bringing Dave Chappelle back to the masses. Between this and his standup deals, we’ve had the most consistent stream of content from the GOAT for the longest stretch of his career all on its platform. As someone who worried greatly a decade ago that Chappelle was going to be comedy’s Grant Hill, these last five years have been an absolute delight. 

But back to this move of demanding people to stop consuming your content until someone else hands you a large burlap satchel with a dollar sign painted on it. It worked so well I have no choice but to try it myself. From this point forward I’m politely requesting all my readers stop clicking my blogs, all my listeners stop pressing play on my podcasts, until someone pays me millions of dollars. What’s this? A text from Erika Nardini??? Well that worked faster than I anticipated. Let me just open this and see how many dollars are coming my way... I’m FIRED?! Ahh jeez.
