Original Submission (100%): How I feel running in to an ex [D]

Posted: 4h before this post by shre22er (fixed by DrCash360)

This comment generated by an automated bot. Is this match wrong?

[–]Heaiser 49 points50 points ago

Whats crazy is I clicked on the comments fully expecting this to be the top voted comment and wasn't disappointed. Please don't ever leave us.

[–]xelested[!] 35 points36 points ago

After a few months of reddit you can already guess the top comments.

It's both

[–]Itakemycock3atatime -1 points0 points ago

You are a novelty account, I know that for a fact.

[–]nonhiphipster -3 points-2 points ago

I don't even understand what that was supposed to mean, but will act like I do for lack of wanting to continue this meaningless conversation.

[–]Itakemycock3atatime 2 points3 points ago

You are a novelty account.

[–]nonhiphipster -1 points0 points ago

I'm not. End of discussion? Say yes.

[–]Itakemycock3atatime 1 point2 points ago

I'm not.

Sorry, your just really stupid.

End of discussion? Say yes.

It depends if you reply. I would enjoy ending this thread, but I'm going to leave the burden of not replying on you.

[–]nonhiphipster 7 points8 points ago

I haven't come across it until just now I guess. Sorry i offended you with my lack of awareness of novelty accounts.

[–]GrossEwww 4 points5 points ago

No need to say sorry friend! You didn't offend me and I'm not sure why you are being downvoted I was just informing you that orginal-finder is not a recent bot.

I would consider the amount of time that I spend on reddit to be 'too much'. As in, I wake up and get on the computer. I work from home most of the time and only really leave to hang out with friends occasionally, run errands, and eat. When I'm at the computer, I have two monitors, so even when I am playing a game or working or writing a song, I have a reddit tab open more often than any other website. I do go outside and do stuff more than I used to, so I feel like this post is exaggerating things a bit.

Anyways, with that being said, every time I see someone complaining about something being a repost in the comments, there is about a 15 chance that I've seen it before. Also, most of these [fixed] type posts, I have to search the comments to get.

[–]BabyNinjaJesus 4 points5 points ago

Im at the point where i close reddit due to been bored

Then click my shortcut to load reddit

I think my brain has become hard wired to load reddit when bored

[–]edgarallenbro 1 point2 points ago

Yes. Yes.

I think to myself "alright thats enough reddit for now" and close the tab and then five seconds later its back and I don't remember having reopened it. DAMNNN YOUUU SPEEED DIAAAAL.

[–]BabyNinjaJesus 0 points1 point ago

Dave Chappelle is one of the best comedians I've ever seen. He should get back into his own show.

[–]imafunghi 50 points51 points ago

He is also one of the best stand-up comedians too. I feel like most people just know his show and not his stand-up.

[–]I_Fuck_Giraffes 13 points14 points ago

I want to find the ignorant whitey production assistant that laughed a little too long too loud at him on set and see how guilty they feel about directly contributing to the end of a great comedy show.

[–]insanitybuild 31 points32 points ago

Didn't he say that he quit because he was literally working 20+ hours a day?

And that he couldn't go outside without some stranger saying quotes from his show (curse words and all) to him around his children?

[–]oobey 31 points32 points ago

That's what I heard. Something about people shouting "I'm Rick James, bitch!" even on trips to Disney World.

[–]ParkerZA 16 points17 points ago

I heard he even stopped one of his stand-up shows because the audience wouldn't stop shouting it.

[–]patiscool1 16 points17 points ago

Dave Chapelle is the perfect example of "This is why we can't have nice things". People go overboard and ruin it.

[–]HeyCarpy 2 points3 points ago

That's a line from his 2nd standup special, For What It's Worth.

[–]HotRodLincoln 5 points6 points ago

Why's Dave Chappelle going to Africa? He's not crazy, the worst thing you can call someone is crazy, it's dismissive, maybe you just don't understand them, they're not crazy. Maybe their environment is a little sick.

-Paraphrased Dave Chappelle Inside Actors Studio

Then he left his dying father's bedside and went to see the FOX executives and they wanted more white people in the audience and him to replace the girl in the pilot ("because she wasn't that hot or that funny")and hire a white girl. They called it "universal appeal".

After he wouldn't, the media was like: "Dave Chappelle pulls the race card". Then right after that his dad died when he was gone most of the time before and after that to Hollywood. New Years Eve 1999, he said fuck Hollywood, I'm done with show business.

Obviously, Killing them softly was after that.

He said he did two seasons and it was very easy. ("Not very easy, but I didn't go to Africa"). Newsweek was writing articles about how maybe he smoked crack and all that kind of innuendo. So, he was wondering "did I get too big", "is this okay"? He didn't want it to get to the "waving a gun in the street screaming they're after me" point. (referencing Martin Lawrence's incident).

While he was down in Africa, he realized how all the speculating and everything was affecting him and what we do to celebrities, and how people in Africa didn't know who he was at all and they treated him better. That's when he thought he didn't want to come back.

[–]I_Fuck_Giraffes 2 points3 points ago

In his Oprah interview he specifically said he was filming a new skit and a white kid on set was laughing in a way that made him uncomfortable - AT him and not WITH him. He was already doubting what he was doing, destroying his personal life due to overworking, and felt like a lot of the audience was missing his deeper points because saying bitch is funny.

[–]NolanVoid 7 points8 points ago

He quit. Watch the Inside the Actor's Studio episode with him in it to hear his explanation why. I'm on my phone or I'd link.

[–]mrkurtz 2 points3 points ago

don't watch much of that show, but that episode was excellent.

[–]howlinatthemoon 1 point2 points ago

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84NjYRTHpfU

Best Inside the Actor's Studio episode imho. Might have something to do with Dave and Lipton being good friends (supposedly).

[–]r0rsch4ch 3 points4 points ago

Wait, that was the reason he quit? I thought it was just too much for him to keep up with the pressure of always creating something funny.

[–]lfootr 15 points16 points ago

He said he quit because Comedy Central wanted more creative control over the show and wasn't willing to sacrifice that even though they were offering him the $50 million. Seasons 1 and 2 they didn't really care and let him do his own thing because it wasn't insanely popular until the DVD sets came out.

[–]EveningD00 13 points14 points ago

In other words they wanted more nigga jokes from the man and he wasn't having it.

Dave should should be proud of turning that money down though. There are too many black comedians who would have jumped head first into a offer like that...

[–]MaXiMiUS 6 points7 points ago

Why they gotta be black?!

Seriously though, just about anyone would agree to change what they're doing for 50 million dollars. The difference here is he already had enough money to not really give a shit.

[–]EveningD00 15 points16 points ago

Why they gotta be black?!

Because dave is black and they wanted him to be a sell out? I mean they wanted the man to basically make black people look like shit... Look on tv and tell me how many positive shows are on with a good number of black people in it. Now compare that to the number of shows with positive shows of white people in it... Look at how they potray black people on tv and ask me why they gotta be black later...

EDIT: The truth hurts there are little to no positive shows about black people any more. Dave chappelle was great because while he made some harsh jokes he also told the truth. If he had took that offer I'm sure they would have made him do something like modern day black face...

[–]Plastastic 1 point2 points ago

Why is this downvoted?

[–]EveningD00 2 points3 points ago

Don't know I had negative something the last time I checked. Just people trying to be dicks maybe? It's not like i'm lying either, every time I turn on the tv all I see is a bunch of black people either acting like thugs or dumb asses. The rare few that don't act like that are just that, the rare few. And I'm not trying to make this out to be a white or black thing I know every one is not the same. But the media on the other hand is just pretty fucked up....

[–]ricultix 1 point2 points ago

Yes, he was doing a white face skit and a producer started laughing. In that moment he was being laughed at and not with. He had no control to change it (not just that one scene but the direction of the show in general), so he peaced out, basically.

[–]geesusreyes 1 point2 points ago

he should at least make skits in youtube... but i think he's never going back to do a show on tv again!... chappelle show started as a "button pusher" joke, but i sure as hell would love to see more!

[–]big-o-notation 0 points1 point ago

He seems like a good guy too:

Well I've only been here a few months myself and I'm already sick of this shit myself, it's so condescending. It can take an age to trawl through every submission and the search function isn't exactly great, this site has a very high volume of traffic so this thing is going to happen.
