Nigg “AR” Family

This is the infamous sketch “The Niggar Family” from Chappelle’s Show.  That’s “AR” not “ER”.  Oh the conversations we had with the network on this one!  Dave at his subversive best (well almost, his performance in Blind Supremacy tops them all in my humble opinion.)

What I loved about this as a director was working with our DP to create this very nice old 1950’s TV black and white look.  Complete with some hard shadows on the wall… Yes they were intentional!  Watch “Leave it to Beaver”, or “Hazel” sometime.

Dave does a short intro to explain…  There was always some “Splainin’ to do” on Chappelle’s Show!
