Chappelle's Show (Seasons 1–3)

Chappelle's Show (2003) is the landmark Comedy Central sketch series you can watch online on iFILM. Dave Chappelle anchored each episode with laidback stand-up, then blew the walls off with street-level sketches that treated race, celebrity and American pop culture as one giant absurdist target.

The show ran for two seasons before Chappelle walked away in 2005, at the height of its popularity and mid-production on a third season — a decision that became as talked-about as the show itself. What he left behind is genuinely funny, relentlessly specific and still uncomfortable in the right ways. Charlie Murphy's Hollywood stories about Prince and Rick James built their own mythology. Yasiin Bey, RZA, GZA, Kanye West and Bill Burr all passed through; Rashida Jones appeared in sketches that went places network TV never would.

Chappelle was the rare comedian whose material about race made everyone laugh and then made everyone think about why they were laughing. Stream all episodes of Chappelle's Show online on iFILM.
