Top 10 Chappelle Sketches (#1)
The countdown that will never end finally ends and as always number one is no surprise.
1. Frontline: Clayton Bigsby. I believe the Clayton Bigsby sketch is the greatest, most controversial, most daring piece of sketch comedy I've ever seen. For those of you that don't know about the sketch it's Chappelle playing the part of Bigsby, a blind white race supremist who just happens to be black. Of course Bigsby isn't aware he is black until very late in the sketch when he provides one final nugget of excellent humor. In the end I don't want to say much because I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it. But I believe this sketch, the fact that Chappelle had the stones to do this sketch, is what turned him into a star and what eventually led to the show's demise. Chappelle constantly tried to reach the level of laughter and shock that Clayton Bigsby provided, but he couldn't get there and rather then try, he just stopped and decided to do something else. So here's the masterpiece in its entirety.
