"problem is you have a bad attitude about starving to death" ROFL probably one of the best comedic line.....
+manamiemyr You know it's good if he cracks up haha
gold
agreed
agreed
Yeah mee 2
I love how he laughs at his own jokes. He is genuinely funny and even he gets a kick out of the joke.
+Angel S I think he makes that shit up as he goes so some of the jokes are new to him also :D :D
+Angel S I agree. Same thing with Eddie Murphy.
+iare19 He is a good adliber
+Angel S He also does some physical add on's to the joke, such as when he stuck his chin up and said "I know"... that shit was funny.
After what he went through wit his show it seems like he really enjoyed himself here.
the starving Africans joke finally broke that girl in the front row on the bottom right
well, being white and being woman, she probably read the secret and got the joke ;)
o shit waddup
Harambe is that you?
lmao I watched her too. She was waiting to invest in a good joke
Lmao good catch.
After seeing Dave Chappelle live, this guy is amazing. Other comedians could tell his jokes and never get the same reaction. He has great stage presence, timing, he is just the whole package - a comedic legend!
Dee Zee he's still funny but not even close to his old self.
Everyone know that it was Oprah that sent him that book!
LOL!
lol!!!!
lol!!
naw but it makes sense
oprah baby
"the problem is you have a bad attitude about starving to death" xD hahahahahahahahaaa
xcessive lmfao, one of funniest part...
3 of the most popular videos on thelaughfactory are all with dave in it, it shows that people still love him even though we don't see him on tv anymore
8 years later. Still one of the most popular
I'm in tears for real... damn Dave I miss you bro
+Goku Oh shit waddup boi
Holy Drug Lord🔼 I don't know if you know this but Dave had his own hit TV show that he walked away from...and that's what the guy was referring to......
rachybaby72 yes, but Dave's STILL not dead...so you can still see him if/when he does any stand-up shows. Or just write him a letter or email. Then you won't miss him so much!
To the people who say "He only read the first 5 pages so his opinion doesn't count." Do you really have to read the entire book just to realize it's bad information? That's like tasting really bad food and the cook tells you "You have to eat the whole thing for your opinion to count."
Congratulations on getting the most ignorant dumbfuck comment of 2014.
Thanks I tried.
solomon visigoth If anything, that award goes to you. You may claim your prize by positively visualizing it.
Congrats for the both of you as well for being oblivious dumbass sheep, now go back to your 9-5 office jobs you pathetic losers. Lol!
solomon visigoth LOL ignorance is truly bliss. You must want a comment war?
"You have a bad attitude about starving to death" lmao!
I’ve seen enough material to know Dave Chappelle is hands down my favourite comedian of all time. The way he can make a serious subject funny, his social commentary, his timing, his content, his stage presence, the use of his voice and facial expression, the list goes on!
My female cousin went on and on about the secret. So I sent her this clip ;)
+belthazormn1 Nice.
Lazarus Pitts Thanks! :D
+belthazormn1 Well I don't know if it's the greatest argument because I'm sure the book is intended for first world audiences... still funny as fuck though.
+belthazormn1 What did she say
Red seeds She was speechless ;)
Ive seen everything i possibly can of Dave, and I could not keep a straight face once.Literally the only comedian that has me in tears always
The bit about the secret is pure genius... This guy is deep.
For real. If you can make youself feel better by just pretending to be happy, then you don't have any serious issues to begin with.
But a homeless man wont solve his problems by pretending to be happy. That was my whole point!
But homelessness is a serious problem, and he wouldn't be able to pretend it away.
+muna clear Dude, he's on our side lol
There is a thing called optimism
+CaptainAtomSmasher
No, not by pretending but by doing the work within to get happy. Identify why, grieve the reasons why, learn from why, and go after your inner joy and harmony. If one can not do it on their own or are prone to be unhappy, maybe upping the tier of intervention would be the answer.
Visualize some food, and maybe you'll change your attitude about starving to death. lmao Dave was always on his "A" game! Comedians today aren't even close to his level when it comes to stuff like this.
jod kins Another legend!! Totally, slipped my mind. Key & Peele are two other guys I admire today.
bill burr..
Robert Roth I've heard of him..need to check him out. Thanks for that man
They're all funny dudes
Travis Thompson I know you said this a couple months ago, but go check out like frankie boyle and other british comedians. You'll be killing yourself laughing after a while
"you've got a bad attitude about starving to death" - Genius.
this guy is hilarious i can't get enough of laughing
Have you never seen his shows before this? eh he is funny though
yes i have :P
Little nuances like 1:06 where he notices a reaction in the crowd and adjusts his timing by pausing and pulling his pants up. Great comedian.
JohnnyWunderboy2 Totally
JohnnyWunderboy2 Expect no less than an old pro like Chapelle.
JohnnyWunderboy2 Honestly, i wouldnt of even spotted tht without ur comment
+JohnnyWunderboy2 that's just natural timing. all good story tellers have that
I noticed that before i read ur comment. He is great
He freestyled this whole thing, truly the greatest comedian ever.
how do you know?
@@Bak3dB3an he said it in the standup.
@@Bak3dB3an At the beginning of the set (separate video) he said he didn't have any material. Then he proceeded to do 10 minutes off the cuff better than most comedians spend years cultivating. Dude is Mozart-level comedian.

Im depressed and all i do is vizualise and fantasize about a better life. Doesn't help one bit.
***** Thank you. Now I'm cured.
+TheTomtah
Me, too. In fact, it makes me feel worse when I snap out of it and realize how shitty reality really is.
What's so bad. I'm curious not trolling
I'm the same way
+TheTomtah You have to take action. Visualizing isn't going to create change. Visualizing helps focus on your goals and what you want to develop. Action is the key.
I love this man. Absolute talented genius.
It's impossible for me to not burst into laughter when he does that dying, whisper voice saying "I have not eaten, in five days".
What's wrong with you? "I have not eaten in... five days." What you need to do is visualize some roast beef... LOL
The people in the crowd look so disinterested. How could they not be laughing. I'm balling in tears at work.
The white women in the front row were stone faced.... Hmmmmmmmmm....
+Phillip Walker I agree why waste a seat if you dont want to be there.
+J Cadeau I know right I guess they could afford to not be entertained.
+Phillip Walker Did you not hear all the laughter throughout the video and applauding at the end? You can you see people enjoying themselves with big smiles on their faces
incorrect use of the word disinterested; unintersted is the word you are looking for.
I cant wait for Daves Netflix Specials.
The age of spin was amazing
Loved it
I can't pick a favorite, they're all so good!
@Junglistic Soulja "Well luckily there's no way the T's can possibly get anymore angry at Dave"

Oh boy, I wonder what you think of them now given their, uh... divisive nature for lack of a better word.
Damn! I just hope we eventually get to see Dave in another stand-up special! I hope we haven't lost him for good!
hothamandfauri you're in luck
hothamandfauri Well he's dropped four in a year span now. Lol
I suffer from depression and Dave Chappelle may be my best medicine. LMAO.

this guy is one of the greatest
Krazy_Kid-007 THE greatest.

He's a genius
I concur.
marmary try watching some british comedians, chapelle is working on a small number of subjects
+boksaboki British comedians??😂😂😂😂😂
pirolas03 yes why?, .. check Ricky Gervais
+boksaboki Ricky Gervais is so unfunny it's boring, I am in england and most of the humour sucks, but i am black so I do think white people and black.people laugh at diffrent things even if they are listening to the same comedian, there's only one comedian I like in the UK and his name is Chris Evans! sorry I just don't get the English humour I find it very dry....
Kids, you are looking at the funniest living man on the entire planet.
Yes
ever
Nah. Norm Macdonald is the best.
@@erlendhansen5635 No, Phil Hendrie is, but Norm is a close second.
@@mrchopsticks3 No. You are wrong. Norm Macdonald is number one.
I was saying this shit about The Secret before him ! lol. People looked at me wrong like I'm the one who got it wrong... The shit people will belive just to feel better about them selfs is out of control
armin38822 lmao the secret has to do with quantum physics and psychology
I did too almost got jumped
Tokuryu Lopez It does NOT have to do with quatum physics or physics and the only reason you could think it does is because you have no actual knowledge about both.
Could there be any greater takedown of The Secret?
You have a bad attitude about starving to death!
This is quite possibly one of the greatest punchlines ever in comic history.
still the funniest guy ever.
Dave, you're one of the greats! Watching this in my room, laughing like a mad man and my family thinks I'm choking to death!
we need another special dave
The guy is a genius 👏. This dude really is the most perceptive and clever comedian I've seen.
Dave makes such great points... social commentary at its finest. Funny like nobody else, too. God bless him.
haha the shit about "keeping your chin up" is hilarious
I love how Dave will intermittently look like his muscle relaxants are kicking in.
You guys want to know how 'the secret' works? The idea behind it is basically that by visualizing your goals you are more likely to subconsciously take action to achieving those goals. Obviously money isn't going to just appear in your bank as food won't just appear in Africa but the idea is that in this busy life full of distractions, the main thing that stops people from reaching their goals is that they don't stay focused. Constant projection in your mind keeps you focused. But you still need to take action to make things happen. So it works but not it the magical way it sounds.
No, it works because the author grew up as a pretty white girl in a first world country and they can basically get whatever they want by the "ask, believe, receive" method because they're pretty white girls, if that's how they choose to play it.
So what you're saying is live life, and good things might happen to you.
Wow, what a revelation! Better write that down and sell it for $15.99 a pop.
***** Correction - Live life, stay focused on your goals, ignore distractions, stay focused on your goals, take the time to train and learn new skills, stay focused on your goals.. I repeated that twice because that's how much focus you need to have to get anywhere these days. The workforce doesn't want entrepreneurs, they want people who keep their heads down and work. It takes goal setting, determination, commitment and FOCUS to get where you want to be regardless of the industry. If you don't like the sound of that? Stay a worker!
Omg, small world. Did NOT expect to stumble across you here dude, holy crap xD
PivotAnimator50 Hey brother! :D
Chappelle is my favorite comic
It's so crazy that he can just walk up on stage after not doing stand up for years and still make everyone laugh. That's a talented dude. Come back Dave Chappelle!!!!
Damn I want to see his stand up
You live in ohio?
I saw him in Amsterdam.
It was worth the 78 or however the fuck much bucks it was
You... you just did?
This is him doing stand up.
I have told this same, exact joke about starving children in Africa (or anywhere) in regard to "manifesting" sh*t to many people, entirely unaware that Dave used the same theme in his stand up. I am SO glad I'm the only one calling out this incredible New Age Bullsh*t. Unbelievably, when I've levied this reasoning with some of my more militant New Age friends, they've counter argued that these starving children must have "manifested" the desire to experience starvation before birth! O.k, which is it people, can you change your mind about what you want to experience once you're alive through more "manifesting," or are you experiencing what your spirit "chose" to experience before birth (karma)--because the two ideas seem pretty mutually exclusive.
I agree that the way that the secret is presented is bullshit, and I think dave's take on it is hilarious. But I think there's something deeper to it than desires. Keeping a positive attitude isn't magical, but it's an undeniably important thing to do in life.
Gillian G They're stupid if they think anyone "chose before birth" but that doesn't mean the law of attraction doesn't exist. This is just an example of extremists.
The law of attraction is real. I see it in life all the time. It isn't that you just magically get things by using a law of attraction. But if u want to get things you desire or get out of a situation than you have to get in a state where you can attract those things in your life. For instance if u continue to say you're "broke" or you'll "always be broke" do you think you will make money? Probably not. Works on the same level with anything else. If u don't have the belief something will happen or don't attract the right energy that's attracted to it than it won't happen.
Some people take this whole concept to the extreme which is problematic. But there's also a lot people can learn through law of attraction and similar concepts if they didn't easily dismiss it.
7 years later and I STILL tear up at this set lmaooooo
When I was in middle school many years ago, I started watching Dave Chappelle stand up after our stepdad introduced us to his show. His standup was so funny to me, I'd be dying laughing in my bed, having to pause the video because I literally could not breathe and everything hurt from laughing that hard. I am too afraid to go to one of his shows because I know I can't pause if I start dying from laughter and if he kept going, he'd probably kill me due to lack of oxygen. xD
Man, where can I see this special in its entirety? I don't mind paying for it.
You can't, the Laugh Factory in LA which filmed and uploaded this only upload bits and not specials. I doubt he even did a special, he probably just did 15 minutes.
Garrett1240 Yeah, I saw in one of the other videos he remarked having only 10 minutes.
God I love classic Dave.
Hands down, one of my favorite comedy bits of all time.
Jimmy Fallon is funny 5% of the time and it's usually because the person he is interviewing is funny. He latches on to their humor. He has his moments and they are few and far in between. Dave is genuinely a smooth, laid back and funny guy.
Because he’s a comedian....
who abowbek faoubuob alsuwodhu
Dude is GOAT
I liked this video previously but it came back around so I watched it again. Still freaking funny as ever. Thank you Dave Chappelle.
I'm always amazed at how some people(particularly in the front row) aren't laughing at some very funny stuff. I don't get it how people are like that, especially front row!
i feel quite the contrary, i didnt laugh at all the whole vid, and im amazed at how so many ppl find humor in him mocking those who are trying help others through positive encouragement. just not my type of humor
Raymond Chen And I'm sure you're a blast at party's too, but why go to a comedy club if you're not in the mood for a laugh.....seems like taking up a seat I might like to have.
bermudaguy1
If you notice, some of the people sitting in the crowd are Asians.
Asians don't laugh.
Axiaon
This has nothing to do with liberals you right wing shithead.
I think it might be because they know that the camera is going to show them. People feel more inhibited when they are exposed. If you watch Louis CK's stand ups, the lights are always off on the audience, it's completely dark, so you get more out of them because they're comfortably anonymous. Think of any stand up that you thought went really good where you could clearly see the audience, it makes sense to think that if the lights were off during those shows, there would be even more laughter.
what a gem. he's hilarious.
This never gets old. What a legend.
Man, Chappelle says the truth!
Omg THANK YOU. On the long odyssey to get my actual diagnosis, a doctor told me to read this book. That's why Im in excruciating pain every day? Because I'm not visualizing life without pain???
Maybe because .. you need wise pure guidence
@@peace5715 I'm not really sure what you mean by this, can you elaborate?
@@lklobs your pain .. you need objective truth to guide you on how to deal with that pain so you will deal with it once and for all ..
I love the hush that came over the audience when he brought up "the secret". That was every nutcase in the audience who believes in it suddenly feeling called out.
"the problem is you have a bad attitude about starving to death" LMFAO.
i watched this like 10 times and still it's so funny
You know a comedian is fucking brilliant when they even crack up at their own jokes and its not fake. They can genuinely make others laugh and even themselves laugh... thats how confident they are but also real. They are just talking to the audience like how they would be if they were messing around and joking with their friends, its real down to earth comedy.
"The problem is you have a bad attitude about starving to death." 😂😂😂
Anytime you hear anyone talking about positive imagery- just run.
Those three clips of his set in 2009 are the funnyest i have ever seen in my life. Dave is a god!
"you just have a bad attitude about starving to death!" dead
he destroyed the most selling book in the world in less than a minute. what a fucking genius.
When comedy looks that easy you're watching a goddamn legend.
Dave the world of comedy isn't the same without you mate
Anyone know where to buy that shirt that Chappelle is wearing?
Kendall Cook yeah I do I got one
I’ve watched this a million times but it’s still hilarious😂
Visualise some meat and potato..., in tears...
the secret = kys
instant classic of chappelle
His delivery is out of this world. I guess this is what funny bones look like.
oh please bitch you're killin' me, stop talkin' like that! LMFAO!
This is hilarious and offensive at the same time. 😂
AGREED. But most people are too butthurt to take a joke most of the time.
"Well what you need to do is visualize some roast beef and some mash potatoes and gravy" Had me laughing so hard
This was his D level material, coming off of a nervous breakdown, and he was still better than 99% of comedians out there.
That's why people miscarry. They don't want it bad enough.
One of the best comedians to ever do it haha I miss watching this guy man. Props
George rr Martin don't look impressed
Haha I thought the opposite, look at that big smile during some parts
George was laughing all through the show.
Ibrahim Abdul that one women in the front row just fucked up look on her face the whole show
Bahahahahaha! Love this post
Damn this dude is Greatness
both of these individuals, speak truthfully, and make me; emotionaly, cry.
I get the overall message of the secret but it definitely only applies to people who aren't too bad off. Positive thinking is healthy for everyone. But if you're walking around surly, pissed off at everything in you life and being a pessimistic downer to everyone then of course you're going to hate the secret.
diypictures True!
Something the secret doesn't really talk about that it should is the value of being down, but that doesn't sell books. How can you tell someone they want to be depressed?
It doesn't ever go well.
Therefore they won't be able to transition. Nor should they as they need to process the 'negative', which is often how law of attraction or 'the secret' is seen as, some kind of delivery system out of their current situation, which it won't ever be.
Keeping a positive mindset does help you (in some situations). If you want something positive to happen to you its not going to happen if all you do is moan and complain about it. You have to be positive and work hard for it. Obviously it's not going to help people like the starving kids in Africa. But it does help in a lot of other situations in life, like trying to be successful. For example in sports and running, you have to believe you are the best and keep telling yourself that you can do it. Telling yourself that you are going to get first place. If you keep telling yourself. "I can't do it, I'm to weak." you're usually right.
.
Blair Burns It was a joke but he actually had that opinion. And i did find it funny, i was just saying
His point was that merely not-moaning, merely thinking this-or-that, isn't enough. If you're in a million dollar lawsuit, you have to have more than childish tips about keeping your 'chin up,' you must master things like incentive-systems and litigative wisdom. That's what he was really saying: the secret is foolish because it's crude and compensatory, as you said, 'not going to happen if all you do is moan and complain' means it's only relevant to people prone to irrational patterned thought, not someone like Dave who was relatively rational but being manipulated by professional compliance experts at Comedy Central. Someone like him being told weak insights by people who have no idea, was the joke: 'turn that frown upside down' and 'visualize it and it'll happen' doesn't suffice at all for a rational celebrity who's really dealing with things like stalkers, blackmail, copyright disputes, power struggles, and so much more where pat answers are useless.
its a joke.
MrMvpron22 sometimes it's a cop-out to just say "it's a joke." Dave was making a point. Humor doesn't mean we ignore points. If someone says 'I farted in Oprah's mouth this morning,' that's one thing. Dave wasn't saying that.
Going through all 50...never thought I'd find Dave here. This is awesome.
Perfect simple rebuttal to the stupidity that is the "Secret!" haha
This was a joke just 11 years ago. Now our government is actually telling us that between inflation, formula shortages, etc. that we would benefit from having a "better attitude" about it.
Every time He does a STAND-UP its always Excellent.
people still say keep your chin up to depressed people, but its even worse now because its just "oh you should chose to be happy"
+Richard Lane yeah it's a load of bollocks
Woud the idea be that if you visualize it you have a clearer image of your goals and what steps you need to take to achieve them?
Note positive imagery
I'm sure I know whatever I want looks like, imagining it won't do shit working will
The Fire Rises WHOAH what.
you've lost me bro
The Fire Rises where's the funny bit
The Fire Rises That's entirely possible. I'd like to examine if this is the case, and to that end i'd like to ask you to explain the joke to me clearly. Really spell it out.
With Chappelle I know ahead of time I can check the thumbs up. The man is a comedic genius!
the girl on the first row just came at the end check it
He did this stand up on the spot. He just got on stage, started talking and the jokes poured out of him. This was not written material
I want to see him at the Laugh Factory soooooo bad!!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
All great comedians are heavily depressed and they can create a joke out of it
It's not about thinking positive thoughts around starvation, far from it. As a practitioner of The Secret, I can tell you that you're not doing yourself a favor that way. The actual way to do it is to express gratitude for the good things that you DO have and let yourself be awash in the positive feelings that come of it.
In all honesty, the people who use the 'starving children in Africa' argument against The Secret make gross generalizations about the people in that region. It's true that the majority of them are engrossed by poverty, famine and the depression that's a byproduct of both, but some tribes actually find the good in the surroundings and resources they have and are arguably some the happiest human beings on Earth
The Secret is pseudo-science quackery. It's all based around mental tricks meant to play with your sense of affirmation.
there's one born every minute,
Jonathan James every second is more like it
Let me tell YOU a secret, which you clearly haven't had the experience to have deduced yourself: to a truly, biologically unhappy person, merely imagining positive things will NOT produce positive feelings. Actually, it can lead to the opposite effect: when you're facing an all-encompassing despair, the good things in your life make you feel effectively nothing, and thinking about them is often all the more painful for that reason--leading to an even worse state of mind.
My point being that The Secret only works for people who are already happy enough to use it, which makes it perfectly and elegantly useless. Furthermore, there are countless other ways to improve your mental well-being, and it takes many of them working in tandem to bring someone back from real unhappiness. Your belief is impossibly, laughably weak, and you should be embarrassed by it.
I mean, if you're already happy, you'll feel good about the good things in your life regardless of what the silly book tells you, Christ.
so short but, feed me enough laughter. daves the man.lol
