- When asked why he chose to walk away from his successful sketch comedy show in 2005, Dave Chappelle offered "CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King a thoughtful analogy about survival, courtesy of a nature show.

Dave's not a comedian. He's a philosopher who happens to be funny.
I don't see the difference.
David Cooke wow, I saw that episode that Dave was talking about on one of those Nature channels, and I thought it was interesting too, but I never thought anyone would ever mention that in a conversation!!
Damn,that's true. With many actors too,like Keanu Reeves. These people have lived long enough to make us see the reality we were blind to.
Careful Icarus oh here we go. Next will be the imperial system comment.
@Careful Icarus You are right Icarus. We don't have most of the best universities in the world. We don't make half of the tech advances with 5% of the population. Edison, Franklin, Ford, Jobs, Musk, Tesla, Salk, - buncha morons, amirite? And putting 12 men on the moon- well I play Kerbal Space Program, it's not even hard!
But YOUR country, now that's another story. YOU live there so obviously it's the center of intellectual acumen for the entire world.
Care to enlighten us where you live so we can count all the great minds besides yourself?
that might be the greatest analogy ever.
Chim WITHOUTAFUCKINGDOUBT!
It's not his original
Youre only saying that bc the women said it at the end you fking sheep
Johnny 😘
Ann Perkins !
holy sh*t that analogy was amazing and he delivered it with no effort
Its in a movie...the gods must be crazy.
He's an amazing story teller.
@kiyonexus oh okay then
Dumbest analogy

Salt is a hell of a drug
Jeff Slarve Niiiiice!
kills people everyday
"There is a power behind the throne, and greater than the throne, which says to King and Parliament you shall or shall not go to war. You shall sustain the laws and constitution, or you shall suspend them both at our option. Which taxes as it pleases, and that without responsibility to any but stockholders. The reader can too easily divine the nature of this power, for it is now grinding America as well as England in the dust." [-Clinton Roosevelt 1841 The science of government founded on natural law. (pg ~39)](ia801405.us.archive.org/28/items/sciencegovernme00roosgoog/sciencegovernme00roosgoog.pdf)
It is the banking system.

Right...
salt is a mineral, and in no way shape or form a drug
He’s a smart man but they try to make him look crazy
Or a racist, or a bigot. This is what the media do with anyone who defies their social standards from what I can tell. I keep thinking I’m paranoid but it consistently keeps happening
He only look crazy to the naive
That’s what they do when they can’t control you.
Smart people generally are crazy, based on the perception of those who lack the ability to think differently from others
That's because he's not willing to sell his soul to the devil. And the minute he stood up for himself, they made it look like he was crazy
Dave is the most intelligent/informed comedian of our time. This dude is absolutely BRILLIANT!
on top of that. his old voice and squeeky impersonations. priceless. the standup with his yellow shirt might of been the best
Always knew Dave was this deep from his comedy...You must've always got the joke, but not the lesson. Now go back and look at your favorite Chappelle jokes with new eyes, Grasshopper.
craig mack
whos the second most?
Na... Norm Macdonald is
This dude gave up $50 million, saved himself from Hollywood's degeneracy, and made a deal with Netflix for $60 million a decade later. Man's smart.
Wouldn’t u think Netflix has power too? He gave in to the money. Correct me if I’m wrong
Nathan not really because Netflix was on his own terms and he uses it wisely if you look into every show there are always great messages and life lessons whilst the Chappelle show was going astray from his own view of the society
Nathan i think the difference is that a comedy central wanted to give him that huge amount of money in exchange to owning him, controlling him and completely owning the rights to artistry and intellectual property. I’m not privy to his Netflix deal but I’m sure does things on his own terms.
He Still would have gotten that Netflix deal if he took the comedy Central deal.
I wanted to add that dave Chappelle had pre recorded his shows for netflix and they bought it for 60 million
He escaped Hollywood and their degeneracy. He did the right thing. Now he plays by his own rules. He defeated the ultimate evil of our times.
@Alex Yes, really
Q Nope. Not at all!!!! Maybe you’re still young? Or maybe you are just ignorant to the “game”? You might think you know....but obviously you DONT.
@@Glemons98 I know enough to understand the degeneracy he spoke of on the Oprah Winfrey show(actors dressing as females). Not to mention his latest standup talking about cancel culture, LGBTQ++++++ community and 2A amongst many others. He's obviously going against standard Hollywood norms.
yeah, Hollywood is more evil than governments like Saudi Arabia who cut reporters into little pieces while they are still alive
ridiculous claim 🙄
@@magneto44 Right. Because pedophilia, racism, sexual harassment and moral degeneracy aren't crimes to you. And talking about killing, you clearly haven't heard about starwhackers in Hollywood.
His parents were university professors. This is merely a glimpse of Chappelle's intelligence n wisdom.
If he taught a class in college it would be legit and thorough conversation.... it would be packed
@@samerabreese he's the type of person who would be successful at many things
th-cam.com/video/CIRucMIxwM8/w-d-xo.html
While I'm sure he was taught a lot I think it's more than that. I think he's just a thinker which is evident by the way he makes his own rules and people follow him regardless. He's basically an inspiration to a lot of people. They see him and hope to make themselves as free as he lives. Free from influence, your own master of destiny.
No wonder big up for him👍
Read this as "Dave Chappelle on how to become a trap"
Artonkn I read this as “Dave Chappelle on how to succeed in trappin”
lol
🤣🤣
Dude,
You have to disconnect from internet for a while
AveragePolishGuy no you didn’t
I've walked away from a 160k job, no amount of money buys happiness. Only meaningful relations, but those are fleeting in a world focused on self.
Love your comparison, but 10 mil is different than 160k....
@@shelleygreyrealtor And I love your comment because it is so true. So correct. Id like to think Id still walk away if it jeopardized meaningful connection. I'd go back to the stone age, as long as I was able to connect with those around me. If I had to dehumanize in order to create revenue, well money would be toilet paper... I think that's what Dave is getting at. Only connections with meaning buy true happiness. Loving you, and loving people, and loving this whole ball of crazy, that's what matters.
PS this was after serving in Afghanistan. I just want to love and feel love. I think that was what drove these people. Robin Williams, Richard Prior, and our boy Dave here. They all hint at person connection means far more than the gold standard...Or the petrol dollar....
@@alanhelton Thanks for your service. I believe strongly and passionately for my values and core beliefs. And I really commend him because making the choice to stay true to his beliefs when he was offered millions and fame, is really hard to do. I hope that I would be so strong...but then again, lol.
It will be happiness eventually when all the costs goes up. Since trump, we will be paying all the tariff and the wall built before we continueu to make progress.
Today 160k seems alot but its not if you are living in California/New York and now other city/states. To live "happy" meaning to go anywhere and spending without going in debt. It is rare even making 200k isn't a whole lot anymore. 1 Million means nothing today like it did like 30 years ago.
@@shelleygreyrealtor Very true 160k is like pocket change when compare to 10million.
Dave is a gifted storyteller. He should narrate a series of animated cartoons or shorts, of the Pearls of wisdom he's learned.
That analogy was actually genius.
Definitely one of my heroes, RESPECT.
Bushman-The People who get rich off your labor.
Salt-Money
Water-Your success is there success also.
I have 76 problems their 🤦🏾♂️
😂
Thank you for the explenation! You helped me further understand it
Labor and knowledge...
I have 76 problems it’s “their” stop trying to be a Webster’s dictionary if you’re not correct yourself.
Dave Chappelle is on George Carlin's level.
I'd say them and Richard Pryor are probably the funniest guys to ever walk this planet.
I'll agree that chappelle and carlin are on the same God level . Not so much Richard. Hes like a demi god compared to the 2
I guess you mean the greatest anglophones
Lmao Patrice O'Neal.
LOL only americans think that!
Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock as well.
He walked away from 10s of millions to come back a few years later to make 100s
The "hunger" to see Chapelle again was huge, you obviously see it now. On top of that, he hasnt missed a beat.
Hes not as funny, hes too serious now
@@Edgarv68 true. I think he wants to take the Carlin route.
Yeah but Money comes with strings attached
he signed a three special deal with Netflix for 20 mill a piece...
I wish I had a friend like Dave. Both principled and intelligent.
Words can't describe how smart and funny this guy is. Best comedian to ever grace the stage.
ok settle down
“Fame is a sarcophagus” - Goodnight Robicheaux Magnificent Seven.
One of my favorite quotes to this day
The Bushman analogy can also be applied to corporate america.
Mega Corp hires great talent, saps it dry, then follows its lead into the riches.
any analogy can be applied to literally anything.
MadHatterx false
@Lt. Surok ...literally
This whole comment thread was hilarious. He really thought he was deep with that “any analogy” thing lmfao
@@Mhats it can't
" 'Salary' comes from the Latin word 'salarium', which also means "salary" and has the root sal, or "salt."
In ancient Rome, it specifically meant the amount of money allotted to a Roman soldier to buy salt, which was an expensive but essential commodity.
Today, salt is an inexpensive purchase at the grocery store, and your salary is certainly to be paid in your country's currency."
Dave LITERALLY let go of the salt.
Don't know if he meant to go that deep, but he did!
Currency-current. Form of power. Our currency is a ledger for the amount of power we put into receiving pieces of paper.
Always knew Dave was this deep from his comedy...You must've always got the joke, but not the lesson. Now go back and look at your favorite Chappelle jokes with new eyes, Grasshopper.
Its from a movie the gods must be crazy
Salt was the currency,at least partially,like it still is in the middle age in my country.
That's why it's called salary,it's not the amount of money alloted to buy salt,it was provided as currency under the form of salt.
Cheaper to pay in nature,wich is salt than in money,for all organisations wich buy large quantities to provide their members.
Soon salt will be up there with gold in value seeing how glassblowers and consumers alike are depleting it everyday. Don't believe me do some research on salt.
I've always admired how much of a wordsmith Dave is
this was so deep I could see china 😂

Lmao
not as muchHis analogy was good. Yours not as much
This was so deep I think he reached inside Kim Ks walls 😳
Dave is truly an inspiration, and I mean way beyond his comedy. Very smart, humble man. I'd really don't care about celebrities, but I would like to meet him.
It's funny to see other people finding out how much of a genius Dave is now.....the rest of us are sitting here like "welcome to the club; We been here waiting on y'all to catch up"
Fax
datboyjeff facts
"Genius". In what way is he a genius? Might want to slow down a bit
Just go hate your life somewhere else.
+ReconAndHavoc Watch his HBO special Killing 'Em Softly from 2000. The entire thing is perfect. Chris Rock saw it and couldn't do stand-up for 6 months because he knew he'd never top it.
Omg Dave Chappelle just blew my mind
I miss the real Chappelle. RIP wherever you are my friend
I can't help but smile when he is talking..
Thank you CBS for making these interviews so accessible. ( available worldwide & online.) :)
Chapelle is a real G... No men let's money control him, not even 50 million dollars
In a few days, constantly watching Dave’s content... I am now a devoted, lifetime fan. I give Dave all his flowers right now and forever
I love Dave Chappelle so much
I just watch sticks & stones and watch this, man he is the man
Guys just want to let you know my hiv test came back and I’m all clear
Stay healthy and always wrap it up.
Good for you. Take care of yourself.
susanne anique thanks im surprised nobody has insulted me yet lol
@@rml4289 These internet streets are mean. Keep your head up bud!
@@rml4289 Why would we insult you?
this is the greatest analogy of all time
This man intelligence is out of this world. True Legend!!!
Genius! His work speaks for itself.
New Netflix show comes out.
A 2 year old Chappelle shows up on my recommend...
Coincidence?
Algorithm
Its called a trend buddy
I was looking at the old Chapelle stuff. “Inside the actors studio” interview and the Oprah interview. No my TH-cam is flooded with new stuff.
Not a coincidence this is bound by universal laws that and the this incident is known as a synchronized event. You were as well as I was looking for an answer and this video answered it. I wholeheartedly believe the truth serves those that seek it.
He is the only one who can explain what's truly on his mind. Either the analogy is incomplete or has a top-up to divert the main focus point. Great analogy by the way.
Dave is my fav. ❤️❤️❤️
Dave is a genius. Everyone can relate to this.
It's bad enough when you only can explain it through analogies.
Deminus its bad enough if ur too dumb to understand
Of all comedians in human history I've always wanted to meet Dave the most
Man this guy is amazing...very intelligent
Let us all agree that Dave Chappelle is THE MAN!!!!!!!!
This man has become the greatest comedian philosopher and person of all time influential to our culture you must listen and open our eyes.
Met him numerous times,he use to come to the Health Club I worked at...hes a Very intelligent & observant individual.
We all want to succeed, but we have to define what success is individually. Don’t let society judge your success. If you let the judgement of others influence your actions towards success, you will find yourself trapped.
That is a perfect analogy of show business
For all of corporate America really
He's telling her if she's smart to get out but she doesn't wanna.
Flux it 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You gotta know when to get the tf outta the casino
They want to...be...foooled!!
🤯 he blew my mind right up. Living legend
Glad I watched this learnt alot
He didn’t want to be in the cage.
He looks so weighed down and heavy to be so “successful” 👀 I wish “they” would stop acting like Dave is the problem and all of these celebs are “crazy” as if we’re that dumb! 🙄 Some of us are actually awake! This video is ironically hyperlinked to the words “stream of consciousness” from an article about Chappelle. I hope he never wears the dress 👗 we all know that code!
Favorite comedien of my lifetime!
God I love this guy ! He is just incredibly smart and wise and he just blows me away.
That is some Virgo intellect right there. The god of communication.
Gemini is more about communication more than most the signs. Virgo too though since it is a mutable sign.
I actually saw that video he's talking about, wise man.
I saw that nature show. Brilliant!
BLESS. U. Dave.
God! I'm impressed.
The first time I saw Dave Chappelle was on the movie Con Air.
def comedy jam, blue streak
Literally goosebumps
Love him
That's a great analogy...FOR A CLONE
lemme stop playin
Psssh a clone couldnt be so funny.
Yup
Nah ma boy that’s Dave alright
Ur crazy , clones dont contain same memories of childhood lol
How do you really know what they can and can't do. Sometime or another they had to have Dave constrained so he couldn't get away from them or get word out. Look at his cousins interview about how she is still waiting for the phone call that he was really really close to and she never got the call.
Comedy aside, Dave Chappelle doesn’t get enough credit for being a very sharp guy.
He’s a great storyteller.
damn guy a genius the way hes able to use anologies and think unathodox is astonishing ...that's what we love about mr. chapelle he keeps it real and doesn't lie always staying true to himself and the audiance no matter how bad it hurts
Some day he'll write a book telling everyone the real reason why he left. I'll buy that book.
The real reason will never come out until he unfortunately passes, because he would likely expose hollywood, and if it did come out while he's alive, he will die in an "accident" he knows this himself.
Awesome
I will for ever respect dave
Love you Dave
was about to sell his soul
Jerry Serrato true and Dave was smart enough to not feed into the illuminati , illuminati is real people! He's been giving hints for years!!
He did though, in the end
@@kylebutler3018 Exactly. People are missing the point. He didn't take the salt. But now he's back.
Why? Because he got reminded that his soul was already sold and that he needed to come back for the salt if he ever wanted to drink water again.
@@Sniegel or maybe he just missed comedy😂its not that deep bruh
xyz nah bro I think he’s on to something 🤔💀
Nevertheless his comment was intriguing
Know your worth and how like his father told him, “name your price in the beginning”
I love him too much
Amazing metaphor
Critical Thinking once again presented by Dave Chappelle. He eloquently said " I will never, ever sell my soul to the devil ".
Dave was right to walk away I'm in the music industry and I've seen it time and time again An artist makes an album it does well the label throws all this money at them and they're now under control and nowhere near as good as that first record Luther is a good example Those early records are masterpieces but after awhile you hear him gradually start to sound more pop sounding and less depth of feeling in the songs and production It got so bad that they started putting autotune on his vocal If there is any singer that doesn't need autotune is Luther So very smart Dave
That was legitimately one of the most genius analogies I've ever heard, Chapplle is one of the greats man.......
you need to read more
@@Mhats Lol, why so harsh?
Wise man .. respect!
Dave didn’t sell his Soul for money 💰...... this is why he is the best comedian since Richard Pryor, and why most of the people on earth love him. He speaks for everybody who sees the world as he does, and we love it 🔥🔥🔥...
Who else entered another zone trying to understand the analogy 😂
It is not a other zone you just never looked at the whole picture when i was kid a uncle who lived out in country side said to me look at animals you will know more then i can tell you i Did not know what he was talking about till i became a adult.
when u become an adult, u will understand it.
'afif Salim I'm 16 lol I got what he meant but like Yoni said, had to step back and look for a minute
It resonates with people who are older because they have more situations they can correlate this to. While I have no doubt that you understand it, a statement like this will only grow more powerful with time. Never forget it and stay the course my friend.
Its genius
I gotta hear that again.
This gave me chills !!!! DAMN DAVE DAMN.
Can this woman sit any closer to dave? 😂
Thought exactly the same 😂👌🏼
Salt= fame. Water= Money
Agree. I was hinking Salt= whatever you covet. And if you get obsessed or possessed about it it can ruin you if you are not wise enough to let it go.
Swift yes 😉
I took it as salt=money and fame. Water=freedoms
Much better swift.
I agree with swift
Here is a man with integrity!!!more should be inspired by him. It’s not always about money but your values and Dave is one great man
Wow that was an amazing analogy
Damn, that was so good that I actually don’t get it in reference to the fame part though? Weird? What? Can someone please explain it to me lol
I don’t either there seems to be a happy ending on both sides
Did they acknowledge who the bushman is in the analogy and what it entails?
went right over everyones head and still does
Bushman: The Network / Hollywood / Corporations
Salt: Platform / Fame / Career
Water: Money
Bonus: A Baboon's going to drink with its mouth and hands, but the bushman's smart enough to collect with a bucket.
This question is the biggest crisis facing us today. The fact that the majority of people ask this question and truly do not know the answer is why we are in such a predicament. We try to tell you and give you absolute proof but then brush it off and call us conspiracy theorists and continue to be the baboon and calling us the crazy ones.
@@kingramses8361 damn you nailed it!!
He’s telling us from a real place that no one is immune to temptation no matter how strong your will is but that doesn’t mean that you can’t realize the distraction and then make a conscious decision to say no or walk away bc you have the power to but will you or will you let the temptation do to you what it was set out to do. Temptation and sin is only presented to us, it’s up to us to bow down and accept it into our life. That’s y a lot of us fall short of grace. Remember sin is only offered it’s up to you to recognize and say no, lift your hands and praise the Lord for the strength he gave us
MAJOR RESPECT!!!
good for him good guy god bless him
Most woke person i've ever seen..period!!!
The salt trap is in a movie called the Gods must be crazy
Dave is awesome !!!
Damn that was deep for morning TV
Richard Pryor, George Carlin and Dave Chapelle . That’s it ....
diesel2x check some of Redd Foxx's sets.
And Bill Hicks
Ok... so no one is going to mention that the "Nature Show" is the movie " The God's Must Be Crazy"?
Thanks for that info!
The way she said "I know he's very very smart" almost like "yea we can't use him anymore"
He finally got the perfect analogy to explain to people.
