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!

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.

Dave is hilarious and energetic. The jokes and his standup are classic. And you will be rolling on the floor, grabbing you gut, trying to catch your breath because you're laughing so hard.

From beginning to end, from Comedy Central to DVD, Chappelle is our generation's greatest comedian...hands down. He will have you laughing, while poking fun at the stereotypes we hold about people, society and ourselves. Interesting social commentary in the form of standup.

If you love laughing, "For What's It's Worth" is worth every dollar.

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.

This guy never fails to amaze me ...... I watch all his stand ups over and over again and they never get old he really pushes the barriers of our ethics and shame and does it without a care and for that it makes his acts much more appealing

Chappelle's accessibility (and his racially charged & sympathetic humor) sparkle in this live stand-up appearance. This guy is about as likable as it gets, his characteristic wit pulling the audience in even as it knuckle-rubs their heads. On this disc, Dave discusses everything from crackheads (no surprise there), Native Americans, smoking in public, the American justice system, and grape juice. Even when his humor is topical (e.g. OJ and Michael Jackson), it retains a sense of warmth and giggle-worthy rib-nudging that makes this recording both hilarious and re-watchable. The only drawback is that it is lamentably short (it barely clocks in at an hour) and the disc is notably lacking in any special features whatsoever.

i dont know what these people are talking about.. this was wayyyyyy better than killing them softly, I thought killing them softy was funny the first time i saw it, but there wasn't anything that made me want to go back and view it a second time, but this one. for what it's worth.. it's funny as hell, i would definately watch this a few times.. last comedy show i watched over and over before this was jamie foxx's i might need security.. So if you liked that, you'd love this.. espcially if your fan of the chappelle show

THIS VIDEO IS REAL CLEAN QUALITY NEVER FAILS TO KEEP ME AND MY FAMILY LAUGHING GOOD SELLER AS WELL I SUGGEST YOU GET YOUR CARD READY AND PURCHASE

This isn't the best I've seen of Chappelle, but it's definitely funny. I bought it after seeing clips on youtube (bits on "grape drink", Kobe Bryant, and being held hostage on a bus were some of the funniest).

As far as the dvd's condition goes it was in prime form. This dvd itself is some of Dave's funniest material ever. Great laugh from start to finish.
