Tuesday A/V (Saturday Edition): Missing Dave Chappelle, and Subversiveness



As this decade drags on to whatever conclusion it might have, I'm thinking that it would be a tragedy if the only flashes of subversiveness remembered from the 00's would be associated with Michael Moore. In all, it's been a disappointingly conformist decade.

But I was reminded this morning that for a brief and fleeting moment, we had Chappelle Show.

Few of his original satirical bits are as outrageous, or as timeless, as "Knee High Park". I still howl at this one. (Warning: this is the uncensored, unbleeped, absurdly NSFW version. For some reason, the bleeped broadcast version seemed edgier and dirtier, though.)
