Let's start the show.

[announcer]

Ladies and gentlemen,

[audience applause]

-Dave Chappelle.

- Hey.

What--oh, snap.

Oh, thanks, yo.

Thanks, yo.

Welcome, everybody.

Welcome to Chappelle's Show.

Welcome, man.

Thanks for coming out

tonight, yo.

You know, I almost was afraid

no one would be here.

I had a conversation

that upset me,

where a dude said my show

was offensive to black people.

Normally that doesn't bother me,

but he was white,

-so it freaked me out.

-[audience laughing]

He had me thinking

for a second, "What?"

But he might have a point.

I'm not gonna discount him

just because he was white.

Who knows?

Some people just know

black people, right?

[audience laughing]

You know, I'm serious.

They got, like, gut instincts.

Some people know black people.

But who are those people?

We don't know.

So we got some people,

and we put them to the test.

Now, what you're about to see

is absolutely real.

These are real people.

This is not--

This is not actors.

This is the real deal.

Give it up

for my new game show.

[audience applause]

[people shouting]

I know black people!

Welcome to the show,

"I know black people,"

where we take contestants

who claim to know black people

and put their knowledge

of African-American culture

to the test.

The contestant who answers

the most questions, of course,

wins our grand prize.

Let's bring them out

one at a time, now.

Our first contestant

is a professor

of African-American

studies and history

at Fordham University;

the New York City

police officer;

he is a writer for such

black television shows

as the Chris Rock Show

and Chappelle's Show.

Okay, our next contestant works

in a Korean grocery store;

this is a DJ and claims

to have many black friends.

A social worker

in Wilmington, Delaware;

most of his boys he goes

to school with are black;

the barber in Brooklyn

who claims

that 100% of his clients

are black.

Let's play the game.

What is a "Badonkadonk"?

A Badonkadonk?

A Badonkadonk is, like, a, uh--

a incredibly attractive ass.

-[dings]

-That is correct.

[whispers] A Badonkadonk.

Big penis.

-[buzz]

-I don't know.

He's talking about

my rear end, I think.

-[dings]

-That is correct.

[laughs]

You do have a Badonkadonk.

I may have heard that

once or twice before, yeah.

I'm tellin' you,

Washington Heights,

-[laughing]

-they'll tell the cops,

"Girl, you got a Badonkadonk."

Ooh, that's junk in the trunk.

That's what you put your mug on.

You saddle up and ride.

That's a big...ass.

-[dings]

-He is correct.

-Junk in the trunk...

-[dings]

What you put your mug up,

saddle up and ride,

or an ass are all

acceptable answers.

[people shouting] Black people!

Why do black people

love menthols so much?

I don't--I don't know.

-[dings]

-That is correct.

-[audience laughing]

-All right.

Nobody knows.

Nobody knows for sure.

'Cause that's

what Newport are?

-[dings]

-That is correct.

Is it a fact that they like

menthol cigarettes?

I'm not even sure.

I don't know--

-[dings]

-That is correct.

"I don't know."

No one knows.

[people shouting] Black people!

On the popular show,

Good Times ,

What did Mr. Bookman

do for a living?

Ooh, he was the handyman.

-[dings]

-That is correct.

He was the super.

-[dings]

-That is correct.

Let's see, I don't know

who bookman was on good times,

so I'm gonna have

to take a guess.

Um...was he a janitor?

-[dings]

-That is correct.

Amazing.

Did not know see the show

yet knows

-that bookman was cleaning up.

-[audience laughing]

He was the janitor,

and his nickname

was Buffalo Butt.

-[dings]

-That is correct

-and a bonus point.

-Thank you.

[people shouting] Black people!

Could you name

any of bookman's nicknames?

Booger.

-[dings]

-That is correct.

Buffalo Butt.

-[dings]

-That is correct.

-Chi-chi?

I am checking the judges

for Chi-Chi.

-[buzz]

-I'm sorry, that's incorrect.

His name was bookman?

Yes, and he was fat.

What did they call him?

Uh, fat janitor guy.

[buzz]

[people shouting] Black people!

Why did black people

distrust Ronald Reagan?

Because he was white.

-[dings]

-That is correct.

Because he was white.

-[dings]

-That is correct.

Why did black people

distrust Ronald Reagan?

Because he took all his money.

-[dings]

-That is correct.

Because he was a Republican.

-[dings]

-That is correct.

Why did black people

distrust Ronald Reagan?

Hmm, he wasn't supposed to

be trusted in the first place.

-[dings]

-He is correct.

[people shouting] Black people!

Tito, is pimping easy?

No.

-[dings]

-That is correct.

-No.

-[dings]

That is correct.

Big Daddy Kane would say,

"It ain't easy."

- "Pimping ain't easy,"

he is correct.

-[audience laughing]

-It's hard.

-[dings]

-That is correct.

All right, I have

a hard time with it myself.

Yes, pimping, as a matter

of fact, ain't easy.

Is pimping easy?

-Hell yeah.

-[dings]

Somehow that is correct.

[people shouting] Black people!

Whoa, the competition's

heating up.

But don't go anywhere,

because we'll be right back

with more "I know black people."

[audience applause]

We'll find out who wins

later in the show,

but don't go anywhere.

We'll be right back

with more Chappelle's Show.

Oh, yeah.



Welcome back

to Chappelle's Show.

[audience cheering]

You know, folks...

there's a lot of talk

on the streets

about "Keeping it real."

I hear men saying it.

I hear women saying it.

We all just got to be careful.

When you're "Keeping it real,"

pick your spots.

Reality is hidden for a reason.

And now we will show you why.

[narrator] You're watching when

"Keeping it real" goes wrong.

Brenda Johnson was at home

one night

eating popcorn and watching

television with her girlfriend.

The telephone rang.

[phone rings]

Hello.

[dial tone humming]

Brenda had a simple choice

to make:

Ignore the mild rudeness

of someone hanging up on her

or keep it real.

Fuck that!

I don't like people playing

on my phone.

Girl, don't even trip.

You bigger than that.

No.

I don't like people playing

on my phone.

[narrator] But in reality,

it had nothing to do

with people playing

on her phone.

Brenda had long suspected

her boyfriend, Jamal,

of cheating on her.

This was the straw

that broke the camel's back.

[touch-tones beeping]

[phone rings]

Hello.

Did you just call here, bitch?

Excuse me?

I know you just called here.

Don't play dumb with me.

Stop fucking my man!

I don't know

what you're talking about.

I dialed the wrong number, okay?

I star-69'd you, you dirty ho.

You and I both know

you sleeping with Jamal.

No, I was trying to call

my aunt.

Oh, bitch, please.

You a bitch,

and so is your aunt.

[dial tone humming]

Oh, no, she did not

hang up on me again.

Again?

[narrator] Brenda could've ended

the conflict there.

You want to play, bitch?

Let's play.

[narrator] But she decided

to push her real-o-meter

into the red.

'Cause I keeps it real

like that.

[narrator] Brenda went

onto her computer

and did a reverse lookup

of Janice's number.

Not only did she get

Janice's address

but directions as well.

I'm fittin' to ride

on this bitch.

-[air hissing]

-[car alarm blaring]

[glass clattering]

You won't be fucking Jamal

in this car, ho!

Take that, you clap-having

Jezebel.

It was a wrong number!

Fuck that!

I don't like people playing

on my phone.

I keeps it real.

[narrator]

What Brenda didn't know

is that Janice was borrowing

the car

from her older brother,

a federal agent.

She also didn't know that

defacing a government vehicle

is considered a felony

in certain cases,

this being one of them.

After a short trial,

Brenda was sentenced

to six years

in federal prison.

What's really hood, bitch?

[narrator] Brenda knew

it was important

to establish her realness

early in prison.

confronted by another

pivotal decision,

she decided then and there

to keep it real.

All right, bitch,

let's settle this right now.

-oh!

-[grunting]

[narrator] The three women

were all serving

consecutive life sentences.

It turned out

they kept it realer.

[grunting]

[narrator] And as for

her boyfriend, Jamal...

You want to talk

about keeping it real?

[narrator] He was cheating

on Brenda with her best friend.

-I keeps it real.

-[laughs]

Ain't that right, shorty?

That's right.

[narrator] From eating popcorn

in the comfort of her own home

to eating fruit cocktail

off of a prison floor,

Brenda rounds...

Fuck that!

I don't like people playing

on my phone.

[narrator] Just another case

of what can happen...

-[audience cheering]

-Oh, shit.

We're gonna take

a quick commercial break.

Don't go anywhere, everybody.

We'll be right back.

I'm serious.

Man.

- The greatest show.

- What's happening, everybody?

Welcome back.

And now let's see

who's gonna be the winner

of "I know black people."

Competition's been stiff

in the first act.

Let's see how it goes

in the next round.

Are you ready?

What is a loosey?

Now, I should know this.

-A smoke.

-[dings]

Damn, that's--

That's absolutely correct.

A single cigarette.

A loose cigarette.

-[dings]

-That is correct.

-A cigarette.

-[dings]

- That is correct.

What is a loosey?

Is that a--

A way of saying oral sex?

[buzz]

No, but we should

start saying that.

What is a loosey?

One cigarette bought

at the store from the Arabs.

-[dings]

-That is correct.

A cigarette bought at the store,

one loose cigarette,

from an Arab.

[people shouting] Black people!

What is a chickenhead?

That's a woman

who puts her mouth

on the member of a--

or sometimes called

a crack whore.

-[dings]

-That is acceptable.

That is one of the many

definitions of a chickenhead,

a fellatios woman.

There we go.

Mark, things are looking up.

Let's see.

Somebody on T.V

used to say chickenhead.

"You're such a chickenhead."

I don't know what show this is,

but I'd like to see it.

Somebody who's stupid.

[buzz]

No, a chickenhead

is a hoochie, whore,

or a fellatios woman,

apparently.

It can be used

for different things.

It's mostly used to describe

a ho or an ugly woman.

A woman that likes

to suck penis.

A woman that likes

to suck penis.

To give a loosey.

That's right,

to give a loosey.

What is a chickenhead?

Oh,

you can find that anywhere

in the hood, on the block.

It's a bird,

one of those that you just

bring home and wear out.

-[dings]

-That is correct.

A bird that you bring home

and wear out.

That is correct.

That's what they're for.

That's how they're used.

[people shouting] Black people!

Finish this good time lyric:

"Temporary layoffs, good times.

Easy credit rip-offs,

good times.

Scratching and surviving,

good times.

Blank,

good times."

I know that

one character on good times

was J.J. Walker.

That's very good.

I get mistaken for him a lot

in shopping malls.

Another actress on good times

is Lenny Kravitz's mother.

[buzz]

Oh, I'm sorry,

that was the Jeffersons,

but close.

I remember when Willis

had a drinking problem.

[buzz]

"Scratching and surviving,

Blank, good times."

Mm-hmm, and I've always

wondered this myself.

And it sounds like

"Hangin' in a jury,"

but it's--

It's, it's--

And is it a--

Say it one more time.

Say what you just said

one more time.

♪ Hangin' in a jury ♪

Um, and I always thought,

as a kid,

"Does that mean that someone

is hung in a jury?"

But I didn't--

You know, I have to say

you can tell

I know the actual song,

but those ones, I never

could decipher what it was.

It was a--

Bryan Tucker just pointed

out a fact that is very true.

This is the most disputed lyric

in all

-of the Good Times lyrics.

-Yes.

I am inclined to give him

the point.

I look at my judges--

-[dings]

-He gets the point.

All right,

and what is the lyric?

The correct lyric:

"Hangin' in a chow line."

I had to look it up

on the internet myself.

I thought it was

"Hangin' a jacket."

[people shouting] Black people!

And now for the final question.

Are you ready?

I'm ready.

How can black people

rise up and overcome?

How can they rise up

and overcome?

Well, can they overcome?

No, I'm just-.

-[dings]

-That is correct.

[audience laughing]

Reparations.

-[dings]

-That is acceptable.

This is a rap lyric?

No, this--I'm sorry.

Oh, this is a general question.

-This is an actual question.

-All right.

There's a complex answer there.

-[dings]

-That is correct.

Staying alive.

-[dings]

-That is correct.

That is correct.

Well, stop cuttin'

each other's throat.

-[dings]

-That also is correct.

How can black people

rise up and overcome?

Get out and vote.

[buzz]

That is incorrect,

I'm afraid.

-[audience laughing]

-I'm sorry.

[people shouting] Black people!

Well, folks, our judges

tallied up the scores,

and we have a winner.

Rob the DJ.

Rob, come on out.

Excellent job, Rob.

Congratulations.

Here's the grand prize.

Of course, it contains

a lifetime supply

of Murray's hair cream.

That's right.

And one can is

a lifetime supply, trust me.

Two bootleg DVD's.

And, of course,

what would a grand prize be

without a pack of

menthol cigarettes?

-[people shouting] Black people!

We'll take a quick

commercial break,

but don't go anywhere.

We'll be right back

Everybody in the room

I'll see you next week.

I am out!

[audience applause]

I'm rich, biatch.

[horn honks]

- Hi, thank you.

- All right, this one, nobody

got.

Not even the black dudes

got this.

All right, you're walking

down the street, right?

Black dude comes up to you.

He hands you two dimes

and a nickel

and says, "May I have a"--

What does he want?

[all] Case quarter.

- Yes.

See?

Nobody got "Case quarter."

Who was the only

black sweat hog?

-No idea.

-[buzz]

Correct answer, of course,

Freddie "Boom Boom" Washington.

But he didn't happen

to have the answer handy.
