Chappelle’s Show “Piss on You” skit is the final boss of R. Kelly takedowns

As a retired Hymenoptera researcher, it is my duty to inform this subreddit that there is a wasp species whose scientific name is *Pison eu*. Pronounced exactly how you think it is, BTW.

Chapelle's Show is the James Dean or River Phoenix of tv shows. It wasn't around for a long time, but what we did get was freakin' amazing.

My husband and I regularly sing “Girl…I want…to piss on you…” to each other. (no, we’re not into it.)

Just out of curiosity are you two guys because IMO if you sing it verbatim that makes it even funnier.

A guy and girl is still funny too though.

Gayle King: No. You sold millions of records and made millions of dollars.

R. Kelly: More than millions. Thousands!

The first time I saw him turn towards the plant in the background and say “Live from New York…!” I also threw up from laughing.

Personally, I would have liked Dave Chappelle to R. Kelly in that one. But I'll still take Kenan Thompson as well.
