| You know what's funny? When people take catch phrases from funny movies, television shows, and comedians, then they repeat them in their best impression, regardless of their awkward accent, gender or lack of comedic timing. I can't get enough of it. My favorite example of this comes from a skit on "Chappelle's Show," in which Dave Chappelle does a parody bio of 80's pop singer Rick James.
The popular phrase from this skit is when Chappelle says "I'm Rick James, bitch!" Now everyone from fat nerds, to crack-head carnies who work at the Muskingum County fair, to pimply faced high school kids around the world repeat this phrase every chance they get, giggling spastically every time one of them says it in their crackling voice. The source of this phenomen....Dave Chappelle.
I don't know how, but every time someone does their impression of Dave Chappelle saying "I'm Rick James, bitch," or "YEAAAH!" it keeps getting funnier and funnier. Man, I never get tired of hearing people repeat their favorite lines from Chappelle's show, such as "WHAAAT" and "OOOKAY" from a parody about Lil' John. Of course, this begs the question: are these people paying homage to Chappelle, or are they cheapening the phrases, making them tired and unfunny? I did some research to find out what qualification these fans had, and posted my findings in the following stats:
Percentage of people who aren't Dave Chappelle: 99.9999999999999999999999999998972%
Percentage of people who are Dave Chappelle: 0.000000000000000125009000%
The results were surprising: the statitistics above suggest that 6,367,619,884 out of every 6,367,619,885 people in the world are not Dave Chappelle, and therefore should shut the hell up. This finding was in contrast to what I thought initially; that these fans were in fact qualified to use Dave's catch phrase, otherwise why would they carry on endlessly like idiots desperate to make their peers laugh at the expense of permanently ruining an otherwise funny joke?
Look weinerheads......it's funny when Dave Chappelle says it, not you. You're not Dave Chappelle, and you're not funny. I'm tired of people adopting speech patterns, catch phrases, and their entire personalities from movies. When Jim Carrey's "Ace Ventura" came out, every prick I know,including myself, did their worst "allllrighty then" impression. The worst is when some annoying gabby girl is the center of a party, and someone tells an awkward story, to which she'll pause, roll her eyes, then say "oooooookayyyyy!" Then she thinks it's funny and she high fives all her snobby friends who watch stupid shows like "Will & Grace" and "Average American Family deals with gay daughter." I hope you choke. In closing, to recount what I stated earliey, you're not Dave Chappelle, and you're not funny OOOOOOKAYYYYY!
In respondance to the Muskingum Co. Fair carnie...Nic and Mike...you know. |
