Calvin Gets a Job at WacArnolds: Three part sketch in which Dave plays Calvin, an inner city youth who gets a job at WacArnolds (McDonalds). Its a play on the old McDonalds commercials in which an inner city kid gets a job at McDonalds and the community is corny as hell in congratulating him and letting him know how proud they are of him.
Black Gallagher: A quick but funny sketch in which Dave is well... a black Gallagher (the cheesy stand up comic whose bit was smashing fruit with a sledgehammer). I crack up just thinking about Dave in the Gallagher outfit with that mustache. Great sketch to check out.
The Niggar Family: Another highlight of the second season, the Niggar Family sketch asks the question: Would the N word be just as offensive if it was used in another context? So Dave gives a white family the last name Niggar to see how the word plays in this new environment. It's absolutely hilarious.

FAN RECAP

This was another great installment from Dave Chappelle. He takes some risks with the "The N***** family" skit, but makes it work. This episode is great like the rest of the "Chappelle's Show". Enjoy!moreless

“Calvin Gets a Job at Wac Arnolds” was a funny skit. However I thought it was kind of sad because Dave Chappelle may joke about what life is like for the Inner-city family, but it was all kind of true. You watch and see for yourself.

“Black Gallagher” skit was definitely funny. Have you ever watched Gallagher? I was surprised to here that he had a twin brother. (The White Gallagher) I don’t know which writer thought this one up, but it did make me laugh.

“The N***** Family” seemed like another risky skit by Dave Chappelle. I think that if Chappelle was “White” this would have got him in some real trouble. I know he says he is only poking fun at our different cultures, but this was way out. I don’t want to give too much away, so you’ll have to see how close he is on crossing the line in this skit.

I watched the DVD version of this episode and it does not have a performance by DMX. So that's why I did not mention it.
