Unfunny people need to stop using Chappelle

I only have one gripe to make and it will take just a second. I have found that there is very little middle ground when labeling one's feelings about Chappelle's Show. I can understand that people may hate his show. Let me say that I love it. In fact, I've come across very few people who say otherwise.

Now, I'm not all that funny. I know this. However, I do know that the drunken chants of "what," "OK," "slap," and "I'm Rick James, bitch" are overdone and no longer funny. I am only mentioning this because I feel as though I speak as a part of the majority. And when I say "majority," I mean "me and my roommates." For some of you, these phrases are your bread and butter. I'm sorry. You now may be left searching for an alternative way to liven up your walks between the bars or parties. Please think of a new way to attract attention. Let me get you started.

Here are a few things my friends and I find funny when we've had one too many. You can trip and fall on the curb. This is always funny. Also, sometimes you can get a good laugh by pushing an unsuspecting friend into a bush. All I ask is that you don't get your material from Dave Chappelle. He is funny. You (and I) are not.
