Shoutout to Dave for having accountability and empathy over that mans image. He made it right 10 fold! The backstory makes me so proud of both of them.
He ALWAYS does! Regardless of what people try to say… he doesn’t say anything through veiled words or 3rd, 4th or 5th parties! Dave stands on stage and gives it to you from his own mouth. That’s why he’s so well respected! ❤️✊🏾
When Wyane Brady did Chappelle Show I gained a whole lot of respect for him because he showed humility and vulnerability for a laugh. He killed it too. Much respect and Darnell getting shot was the funniest part of the sketch. The dude had the day off and everything.
I thought the cop being taken out was the funniest part. Completely unexpected, but too it to another level, beyond even the other crazy stuff with the prostitutes.
Bro me too!! I thought i was the only one that used to damn near die laughing at that. That’s my favorite part of the sketch and probably the funniest shit Donnell did besides the playing Beautiful and talkin shit to Dave about working at Wack Arnold’s 😂😂
Wayne Brady was basically type cast as the Boy Scout announcer guy. That’s why it was so incredible when he did something no one ever imagined him doing and he did it really well
Wayne grew up down the street from me in Orlando.. he had to deal with that shit his whole life.. Where we live was no soft ass place.. Big ups to him.. T Park OG
Thank you Donell for this interview. First time I seen a Wayne Brady sketch it was on “who’s line is it anyway”. I watched that show only bc of him. A true legend
Ohhhhh I can relate so much to this! I love the sketch because it showed that BEING BLACK COMES IN MANY WAYS! No one is "more Black". I got teased for the same things. It's incredible how some of us within the Black community talk about unity but won't accept all of us to be unified with. Which is why I was happy to see Wayne move forward and kick ass in this sketch! One of the best 🖕🏾to those judging I've ever loved!
It's because in the past, when a black man sought or became educated, they were seen to be taking on the white man's way of life, speaking and acting like the "white devil," and it came with hefty resentment from others in their community. Check out the film "Glory" for a good explanation of this murky part of history.
True, but I will say, some folks make it hard to be united, in various ways. Those who do violence or criminal acts, but then there are those who love Republicans. We were always divided since we were taken from Africa, intentionally. Being in the field vs. the house. Being sold and separated from families. Being ghettoized. Being lynched for trying to become successful away from slavery. Mass incarcerated for the same crimes whites do. It is hard to be united when from the first days, fundamentally, we were scattered, put into poverty by station, and kept uneducated in as many ways as they could do under threat of death. No other group has been divided up in so many ways in the same place over hundreds of years. It was always meant to keep us powerless and dependent as slaves and later as the descendants of said slaves to reduce the likelihood of reprisal.
@@mateohodge6998 Regrettably it isn't just kid sh!t. Many people, like Donnell's brother could tell you that ignorant salvos have come from grown ass adults. On the record, I remember reading the first couple of chapters of Gifted Hands by Ben Carson. Nobody was bothered when he was terrorizing kids and getting D's and F's. It was only when his illiterate mother got on bended knees, asked God for wisdom in turning her son's situation around, and things actually started turning around -when she started getting pushback from other mothers in the community. I've personally experienced these demonic salvos from adults and it's not made up. It's f'd up because it attempts to neutralize a person realizing their purpose and growing as a human being. We make it about race but if you look at it on a higher plane, it really isn't about race more than pursuing purpose that the Creator gave to each of us -and demons trying to stop it.
@@KidsLearnHTML we aren't the the ones who make it about race people need to stop acting ignorant but y'all are referring too a minority of impoverished people if you care about your kid you want them to stay out of jail and get a good education, I'm for letting people follow their passion that leads them too their destiny but most people arent fortunate enough to chase their destiny which is why I believe in UBI and strengthening our access to education Black schools are Heavily underfunded by design due to the fact that we fund them through property taxes and Redlining meaning poorer neighborhoods typically minority have worser schools and I've experienced this first hand when I moved out the city too the country with my grandmother and went too a all white school everything even the food was better
Every culture has this problem, that's why bullying goes on everywhere. Quit it with the whole only in our community bs. Yes majority of the time we love when our Blessings are doing well and trying hard to do the right things out here.👊🏿✌🏿✌🏿
When I first saw that skit I wondered where they found someone who looked so much like Wayne Brady because I didn't think he would do something like that, hats off
Donnell hangin from his arm after getting lit up by Wayne Brady is my favorite part of that sketch thats wild it was basically an accident on top of an accident
Wayne is the greatest actor of all time. I believe he really is like the role he played in the Dave Chappelle show. I've been saying that way before that episode. Game recognize game
I'd always been a fan of Brady on WLIIA one of the quickest and funniest guys in TV history - that sketch on Chapelle second only to True Hollywood Stories. I DIED laughing. Legendary comedy.
...Donnell stole every skit he was in...he fookin killed it...his parts were the funniest of the skits...that arm swing after getting shot, the "yay yay," and the "Marcy, son, what?"...
The Wayne Brady skit was one of my favorites also. I've seen Wayne Brady live, so I know how witty, and raw he can be. The line, "is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bit h"? is classic, Then Wayne after doing a drive by shooting yell's out "Riverside MF". I laughed until I cried. He shook the nice guy, Disney Dancin' image right then.Awsome isn't.
Wayne Brady has never been confused with being militant....that's what the joke was about. Malcolm X was very articulate....Paul Mooney wasn't speaking to his grammar nor diction
Paul Mooney was gatekeeping Blackness. Wayne prob been facing that “black enough” stuff his whole adult life especially in Hollywood at auditions. To hear Paul Mooney somebody he prob respected as a comedy writer at his neck for no reason hit a nerve. I get it.
I noticed him swinging was lmao thought it was part of the skit! I love Wayne Brady for doing that show. That skit, genius. Chappelle, genius. All of them funny and talented. RIP Charlie Murphy.
Wayne Brady is talented as FUCK!! That time on who’s line is it anyway where they did a skit forward and then did it backwards. Brady jumped down initially and then that fool did it in reverse and did the jump on the floor backwards amazing 🤩
I have wondered about Donelle’s scene from the very beginning. I always thought that his “hanging” was just a brilliant, and a super fine detail, that enhanced the sketch! Come to find out it was random makes it even better!😂
Reminds me of the Fresh prince of Bel Air when someone called Carlton a sell out for being intelligent and taking care of himself. And when the other men of the fraternity heard that they threw that guy out and accepted Carlton completely
To me that was probably the funniest skit in the entire Chappelle’s show. Where Wayne took over Dave’s show and then they played that Training Day spoof. Mainly it was hilarious answering what Paul Mooney said about him while also showing Wayne has depth in his character as well as him staying true to who he is.
