Line 35:
* [[Character Development]]: The "The Three Daves" skit, in which Dave talks about how he's been at least three different people in the (then) past 12 years. He then explores how eighteen!Dave, twenty-four!Dave and Dave!prime react to different situations.
* [[Clip Show]]: Or "Mix Tape" as Dave called them. The series had several, including several based around the music acts featured in the show.
* [[Creator Backlash]]: Dave left the show mostly due to the way he felt the racial humor had gone, the fanbase that refused to stop repeating his famous line and how Comedy Central treated the show. This is Chappelle's spin on it, however. The fact that he had gone from stuff like...''[[Half Baked]]''... to becoming a cultural icon in less than five years might have been [[Creator Breakdown|a bit too much for him to take in all at once]].
** Dave also said that he didn't believe the third season could possibly live up to the hype of his 50 Million dollar contract, it should be noted that he tried to keep the contract a secret from the media and was upset to see the headline in the newspaper.
* [[Creepy Monotone]]: Prince
* [[Deconstruction]]: Season 1 had a skit where Dave showed the consequences of what would happen if reparations for slavery were actually sent out, i.e. if the black community suddenly found itself quite wealthy. These consequences included chicken shooting up to $600 a bucket, 800 record labels being started in a hour, and Colin Powell bitch-slapping Dick Cheney. The idea was [[Reconstruction|reconstructed]] at the same time, however, with Sprint's stock going up after thousands of delinquent phone bills were paid off and the crime rate falling to 0%.
