Dave Chappelle -vs- Eddie Griffin: Who U Got?
After watching both of these men over the past 15+ years, I have come to the conclusion that Eddie Griffin is a greater stand up performer than Dave Chappelle.

While Dave obviously had a higher peak, Griffin has been putting out consistent stand up material for a long, long time. Dave is the better side man in films though, like in Nutty Professor, Blue Streak and even Undercover Brother with Eddie Griffin.
Dave has just 3 stand up specials compared to 7 for Eddie Griffin.

Tell me why?
Re: Dave Chappelle -vs- Eddie Griffin: Who U Got?
Chappelle and it's not even close. The dude is a comedic genius. Not only are his stand up's funny, but his show was f***in hilarious and every role he's ever played in a movie was hilarious.

How many of y'all have even seen a Eddie Griffin stand up special before?

i have. they are funny the first one or two times. but after that they get a bit boring. i can still watch the chappelle ones and esp the eddie murphy ones and crack up.
Re: Dave Chappelle -vs- Eddie Griffin: Who U Got?
Didn't Griffin smash up some Ferrari or some shit? Dude just came off as a tool IMO from the beginning - whereas D.C. was on-point since Half Baked fast-forward. This one's a no-brainer.

Chappelle is in a whole other Universe that Griffin. This isn't even close.

Half-Baked fast forward is only what 6 years. He was done after 2004 basically.
Griffin crashed a ferrari tryin to race on the set of some film, haha.
Still, have y'all not seen Dysfunktional Family or You Can Tell Em I Said It or VooDoo Child? Those are required stand up films. Chappelle's best was Killing Them Softly and his 97 Comedy Half Hour on HBO.

Dave Chappelle is a smarter comic. Eddie has his outrageous type of comedic style but Dave Chappelle is on a whole lane.
N Dave Chappelle wasn't done, he just left the showbiz cuz he got tired of the spotlight
Re: Dave Chappelle -vs- Eddie Griffin: Who U Got?
I've seen them both live.
Chappelle is funnier.

Not sure is Dave is a smarter comic, I've seen both. Dave is a better story teller. If you leave that means you're done. I really hope he make a comeback though.

Who's better ... Dave Chappelle or Chris Tucker ?

Chappelle better stand up comic (by far), Tucker better in movies (slightly.)
