I only watched this for the first time back in the summer, but I found it even better on a second viewing. Chappelle really is a master of spinning a tall tale into something almost entirely believable, and his observations on the treatment of white people versus black people by the police is some of the best comedy you could ever wish to hear.
What also strikes me about this performance is Chappelle's total and utter confidence in his material, and a delivery that is smooth yet not overly polished. Remarkable considering this was his first full length recorded tour show. A really outstanding and hilarious performance.

Even though there are some outstanding stand up comedians around right now, the medium is a lot poorer for Dave Chappelle's continued absence. Rarely is that more obvious than with Killin' Them Softly.
It would be pretty difficult to pick out the strongest area of this performance, because Chappelle rarely does peaks and troughs in his performances. Instead he manages a remarkably consistent run of humour right the way through. There's nothing especially new or original here in terms of themes, but it is beautifully executed.
Plus, I could really never tire of his impressions of his white friend, Chip.

Funny enough although I was bigger fan of his show than his stand up.

They got a character on there named Oscar, they treat this guy like shit the entire show. They judge him right in his face, "Oscar you are so mean! Isn't he kids?", "Yeah Oscar! Your a grouch!", its like "BITCH! I LIVE IN A FUCKING TRASHCAN!"

If you are a fan there are laughs to be had.
