    I don't agree, Chappelle had an opportunity to justifiably troll the **** out of the everyone in that audience and it seems like he did it perfectly.

      If this were the late 70s/early 80s I could only imagine the sheer amount of tears some of you guys would have shed over the stuff that Andy Kaufman used to pull off.

      For example:

      I assume everyone already knows his "Great Gatsby" bit, so I won't bother posting it.

        I just read up on the Great Gatsby bit. Genuis. Utter genuis.

        I'd have no choice but to clap/applaud at such masterful trolling

            I'm seeing him next weekend. Hope our crowd isn't so unruly. Stoked to see him live. Don't fault him at all for acting like he did in CT.

              I know I'm dredging up and old topic, but totally on his side on this. Dude has been a comedian since he was, what 15 years old? Or younger? And his career became defined by an insanely good show for just two or three years of his life. And people just want him to keep doing that over and over again.

              It's like Billy Joel and how he might roll his eyes whenever a fan wants him to play Piano Man. I know I'd eventually get sick to death of people demanding I do one thing over and over again my entire life, no matter how good at it I was or how much I was getting paid.

              Plus, a heckler or two in a crowd of a hundred is one thing, but dozens of people braying like a stuck mule is another.

                his stand up set was hilarious. Not quite his best work, but had a great time. He brought up Hartford a few times and threw "F" Hartford shirts into the crowd. Fun times.

                  What happened in CT is exactly the reason Chappelle stopped doing what was essentially the best comedy sketch show in history of cable television.

                  As for Andy Kauffman. I started reading up on him a couple months ago and with every story I grow more and more a fan of his. I wish he were alive today (maybe he is!!!) so he could keep being Andy.

                  I still think about his Mighty Mouse performance on SNL and how little people knew at the time that it was only the beginning of his trolling entertainment bit.*

                  *I know he was already trolling before that, but I mean as a big time celebrity.
                  "It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

                    For those in NY, Chappelle will be performing at Radio City Music Hall from June 18-24th in case anyone wants to catch him. He also said on Jimmy Fallon's Show that he'll have Nas and The Roots performing at one of his shows as well.

                    If I was still in NY, I'd be all over this in a heart beat.

                      That would be enough to keep me away.

                          All is forgiven between Chappelle and Hartford one year later as returned to perform a set there recently:
