Editorial Reviews

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

Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the Best - Pure Standup August 21, 2006

By Marc Winter

Format:DVD

If you're like me, and enjoy the Chapelle Show, you'll find that this program is a little different: no clips, just a pure standup comedy programm. And Dave is killing here. He takes on topics like where AIDS came from and different drinks with black and white people. Calls the greenback "baseball cards with slave owners on them". Just great comedy with a clear political undertone.

In this context he discusses the wavering standpoint of society towards fifteen year olds.

Wunderful, meaningful, inspiring, just plain funny!

So go get this - And get "Killin' them softly" too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Standup From Dave. June 11, 2005

By Chad Carpenter

Format:DVD

I ordered this on PPV sometime last fall. I was hoping they would release it on dvd sometime soon and here it is. This go right up there with his "Killin' Them Softly" dvd well worth the money, Dave is one of the best comedians out there. So, if you've not seen this yet and are a big fan of his do yourself a favor and order or buy this when it's released.

3.0 out of 5 stars "For What It's Worth" Review August 28, 2005

By Crazy Jim

Format:DVD

Not nearly as good as his previous special, "Killing Them Softly", Dave Chappelle's new cable stand-up special may have been destined to come off feeling mediocre in comparison. After a star-making second season of his hit comedy series, "Chappelle's Show", Dave seems less hungry on the second go round. Touching such subject matter as fame, intercourse with monkeys, and famous black celebrity trials, "For What It's Worth" is a hardly a failure in the humor department but it just isn't the home run that "Softly" was. It's a good time nonetheless.
