The Chappelle Theory
December 16, 2005

A little while ago, an e-mail with a link to a website called The Chappelle Theory arrived in our inbox. We spent the next 45 minutes devouring the whole thing, and it’s either the single most paranoid screed or the best straight-faced satire we’ve ever read. Here’s how it begins:

This account of Dave Chappelle’s fall from grace has been pieced together by me, a retired public relations executive who wishes to remain anonymous. my contacts, many of whom were closely related to the individuals involved, enabled me to fairly accurately recount the events that took place. You can take this for what you wish, but it is the truth — the abhorrent byproduct of the industry I used to hold to such a high esteem.


I have written this account without the need for embellishments or exaggerations for the truth is appalling enough. Let this site serve as a drawn curtain to the entertainment industry which is blindly adored by the entire world.

What follows is pages upon (nicely designed, oddly) pages about the efforts of the “dark crusaders,” a nefarious collection of prominent African-Americans (Al Sharpton! Louis Farrakhan! Bill Cosby! Oprah Winfrey! …Whoopi Goldberg?) who were hell-bent on scaring Dave Chappelle into discontinuing Chappelle’s Show. We did some digging around and still don’t know whether to laugh or tighten our tinfoil helmets, but if you’ve ever secretly felt that Oprah was sending you messages through her TV show (or feared she might might show up with thugs and threaten you in the bathroom), it might be best to sit this one out.

Mods: I wasn't sure if this should be posted here or not, I'm sorry if it's in the wrong area.

well now, that's quite a conspiracy theory it could be true, or else he could have been hooked on crack

I can believe that powerful forces might silence him -- Cosby and Oprah
sure as hell don't want to compete with "I'm Rick James, Bitch!" -- but
the whole notion that Oprah filmed a special message for him that
was beamed into Chappelle's house alone is somewhat ludicrous.
And wouldn't someone rich install an alarm system in their house?
Or maybe get some guard dogs?

Having said that, the Dark Crusaders wasted their time. Dave's
comedy show isn't nearly as detrimental to the black image
as the Rodney King riots, the Katrina looters and the nation
of Islam itself....

i think it was the crack

I don't know how I can really believe that. I mean that is just too much information for anyone to know beside Dave if that really happened. Plus, would Oprah and them really call themselves the 'Dark Crusaders'?

Okay, we got pranked.

A website called anti-social.com not only admits to the prank,
but they are also selling T-shirts to commemorate the joke:

I still love me some Dave. Dave, come back!!!

I think all the money freaked him out. It would me.
