Agree. Rock > Chappelle in standup, but Chappelle > Rock in sketch comedy/movies.

Where does Chris Rock's HBO show fall into the mix? Because that show on it's best day was nearly as good as Chappelle's show on Comedy Central.

Rock's funny - very funny when he cares to be.
Chappelle has a depth of understanding about humor that ranks with Chaplin, the Marxes, Allen, Mostel, Cosby, Martin & several Brookses. More than any hope i have for entertainment - even SNL being vital & hilarious again - i hope Dave finds the will once more.

So close. When i saw you'd made the last post, I said to myself before opening the thread :"His post will be : 'Neither one is funny.'"

Not really the point. The point is that you have become utterly predictable.

Nope.
This is kind of like saying Mozart is a bad composer. Some things are not subjective.

I've always thought that Chris Rock should release a Christian Rock album.

Chappelle was responsible for two seasons of the greatest comedy sketch show of all-time. Tons of great content and characters. Chris Rock was a couple of years where he a great standup performer, I like him. Doesn't hold a candle IMO to what Chappelle put out episode after episode.

I knock Chris Rock down because of his delivery. Rock constantly repeats himself . . . con-stant-ly re-peats him-self.

Its absurd.
I realize Chappelle has his issues, but to compare them sketch for sketch, movie for movie, etc. its not even close. Chris Rock leads this by a ton.
just compare # of things they've worked on.
Chappele wrote 9 things (1 tv show, 1 movie)
Chris Rock is a credited writer on 24 (2 tv shows, 3 movies)
Rock is credited 52 times as an actor, Chappelle 23.
But the biggest reason that Chappelle is in the lead? Rock started doing movies like "I Think I Love My Wife", "What to Expect When You're Expecting", "Death at a Funeral", "Madagascar", and "Grown Ups"... Chappelle retired.

the Chappelle show wasn't that great... It was good, but it is not the GOAT, and any argument that it is is more about how it was cut short than how good it actually was.
and I think you don't realize all the stuff Rock wrote, acted in, and did...

didn't say it wasn't great. Said it wasn't the "greatest comedy sketch show of all time".

Pretty much.
That and yeah, I do hold Rock's current projects against him. Can't believe they actually made a Grown Ups 2.

lol at a bunch of white guys arguing over who is the funnier black man.
Rock or Chappelle - who do you refer to when you want to show your black co-worker you're not racist?

the question was who is funnier. not who has done more work. Also keep in mind that Chapelle retied at his peak. Had he decided to keep working he would likely have much more work by this point. either way both are funny, but i prefer Chapelle.

If you watch the special with Louis Ck, Jerry Seinfeld and Ricky Gervais, Rock says that he has to establish the premise for a lot of his jokes otherwise the joke goes right over the head of the audience. Smart guys know the premise immediately, but to get to the larger audience he needs to flesh out the premise before he gets to the punchline.
In answer to the question, Chappelle's greatest moments exceed that of Rock, but Rock is the far better professional comedian.
Who would you rather have Emmitt Smith or Bo Jackson?

What is the GOAT then?

I don't know if there is a clear greatest. Could probably use a poll. I think people would put Monty Python and SNL above Chappelle.

No way white folks know if/when black people are funny. May as well as us if Rihanna or Beyonce are attractive women. How the #### would we know?
