    Although some of the concepts in this premiere episode are clever - a blind white supremacist who doesn't know he's black, a training film at a Kinko's-type copying business that teaches how to alienate customers - the results aren't as sharp or funny as the ideas. [22 Jan 2003, p.74]

The show consists of a short stand-up segments from Chappelle that introduce sketches such as 'Ask a Black Dude' and 'Great Moments in Hook up History'.

    The sketches can be a little hit and miss and, being English, I didn't always understand the American cultural references but when he hits the mark Chappelle is painfully funny.
