So I was watching the TV again after work and saw a preview on Comedy Central for some new sketch comedy show called "Chocolate News." Its hosted and starring David Alan Grier. Not really the most cutting edge stuff. The guy is 53 years old and I bet most people forgot he was famous for being on In Living Color.
However this is not a rant about the show (it should be pretty self-explanatory about why this show will suck). This is a rant about the commercial for the show that had some quotes from newspaper reviews. One was from the New York Post: "Funniest thing since Chappele." Why do they have to compare it to the only other black comedian sketch comedy show that has come out. WHy not compare it to Carlos Mencia or any comedy show. "Funniest show since Friends" (the whitest show I can think of).
What's funny about this is that I didn't even realize he was black until I looked it up. Look at some of the movies he has appeared in: Stuart Little, The Bonnie Hunt Show, Return to Me, Angels in the Infield, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Bewitched, these are some of the whitest movies ever. To quote Chappele "he makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcom X."
As a side note I saw this Holiday Inn commercial that is funny:
It's funny because white people are different from black people.
