Plagiarism?


Did anyone here see Chappelle's Show last night (April 7th, 10:30, Comedy Central)? At one point Dave called up Big Boi of Outkast and was trying to get him to hang out with him and so Big Boi was trying to think of a way out of it. He said at one point he had a game of Tennis the next day with Somebody. Dave said something to the extent of "all right." Then Big Boi said "We're playing ON THE MOON!" Or at least that's what I think he said. So you see, playing tennis on the moon was from the recent 100th SB Email "Flashback." It could be coincidence, but playing tennis on the moon is a combination I don't think likely to reoccur frequently. So do you think maybe Chappelle's writers are borrowing material from H*R? It would help to hear from people who watched the show. Is there a transcript available somewhere? --TehMilkman
{EDIT: Shoot. I just realized Chappelle's name is spelled with two Ps. Well please don't judge me by the misspelled page name. I'm a spelling stickler.}

Okay, after doing a little research, I'm pretty sure the episode you are talking about that aired at that time was #212. It re-airs April 11, at 10pm (EDT). So you might want to tape it this time. -- Tom

Good to know! Thanks, Tom --TehMilkman

Chappelles Show RUUUUUUUUUUULESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! It's the only show as good as The Simpsons- Jack Selby


Thanks for the tip, Tom. I saw the re-airing of the Show last night, and here's basically how it went. Big Boi just got through saying that he's about to undergo back surgey and Dave asked something to the extent of "What about tomorrow?"

Big Boi: Tomorrow I'm hooking up with Don Cornelius. [Sorry, don't remember the name exactly.][don't worry, I fixed it El Agent-o]

Dave: Oh really?

Big Boi: Yeah, we're playing tennis.

Dave: Oh, OK.

Big Boi: We're playing on the moon, *****. Peace. Don't call me.

So it's not a big deal, it's not exactly plagiarizing, but it would seem that they copied H*R. StrongBadEmail/flashback was released about the same time this would have been written.

Sorry, B. That's how it was on the show. I felt I should be true to the source. Anyway, I think fewer people might have noticed it if you hadn't censored it. --TehMilkman Oh right, and don't call me a jerk.

'Tis understandable, but regardless, there are children type people here, ya know? We can't distort their fragile minds. Or tick off their mommies and daddies. I didn't mean the "jerk" thing. That's just something I say. But for future reference, everyone's a jerk except for That Milk Guy

Hehe. Fine fine, all is forgiven... so does anyone actually have anything to say about the supposed subject of this Chat??? --Man of Milk Man

I think it's screamin' for some baleetin'! ~ Agent "Let's baleet some crap" Seethroo

BAAAWAAAAAAH???!! --No baleeting! No baleeting!


TBC and OutKast are both from Atlanta. I think TBC are fans. They made a reference to "So Fresh and Clean" in StrongBadEmail/spring cleaning.

Ah really? I didn't know Outkast was from there. That makes sense that way. Cool. --TehMilkman
