His 'comedy' is grimacing and sexual gestures. He looks like the minstrel caricature of African-Americans. That man just set back civil rights 50 years.
EIT is always funny, but that was also one of the more disturbing videos you've posted.
So when this starts, you think you basically have an idea of what's going on and what it means, but then it seems to mean something, OR some other thing, OR all three things at the same time. The act of interpreting the text at ALL becomes an increasingly difficult task, negotiating a web of assumptions and conclusions that becomes more complex as each moment passes.
Finally a moment comes when the text seems to leave meaning and interpretation behind and take flight into the thing-in-itself. This experience with a text is thus a special sub-type of the phenomenon we call The Sublime... perhaps even a completely novel form of sublimity never before known to philosophy!
My lecture on Kant will begin and end with this video.
Remember that movie from Ben Affleck, Paycheck, where they used a laser to look forward in time? This was what this video made me feel like, except then looking back in time and seeing something horrible.
This clip totally raped my olfactory sense. I could almost smell the pungent stew of Swisher Sweets, Brut, Big Red gum, and dirty laundry.
Also, I can't help but feeling as though this means something. Is there some cultural reference that I'm missing, here? Is this dude merely impersonating a better-known sweaty black dude?
I think the comedy here goes beyond the sweaty sexual gestures and caricature like gesticulations. You see, the man is a performer, and the audience is anticipating the act of performance. Every time he is about to speak or sing, he breathes heavily as though he is unsure of himself or hesitant. Rather than open his mouth and have the audience think him a poor performer, he improvises and turns his musical act into one of physical comedy. This man is a genius.
Thank menshenjaeger, if it's James Brown then that makes a little more sense. A horrible, grotesque version of James Brown that should never have seen the light of day, but it pulls me back from the vortex of meaningless self-reflexivity the sweaty man was pulling me into.
This man exhibits all the signs, symptoms, and risk factors of a heart attack (the exception being pelvic thrusting). Someone call 911 and get the AED stat!
I was almost sure this was some kind of cinematic special effect, and that eventually his mouth would distend horribly, ripping open the sweaty, bulging-eyed caricature of humanity and letting out some kind of goo-bedecked alien killing machine.

RIP Atimboway.
Holy crap. Is that Hattie McDaniel in Man Drag?!

This is the black and sweaty version of Neil Hamburger.
I found this piece of off-color Skillet and Leroy gold...

That man should be on Arsenio Hall.
@Fat 'n Boring, I'm pretty sure this is his attempt at James Brown who was a very very sweaty man and he was black too!
See link for evidence.

Yeah, this actually busted me up NON-ironically, since I knew he was goofing on the Hardest Working Man in Show Business.
apparently, cocaine IS a helluva drug.
Are you fine folks telling me you don't recognize Skillet from his dramatic turn in PETEY WHEATSTRAW, THE DEVIL'S SON-IN-LAW?
hmm, one of the most grotesque things i've seen in a while....he wud be perfect on t.v.
So, this is what it looks like to diaheria while standing up.
Chappelle should have never quit his show.

Thanks a lot for the comments, you racists.

That guys sweating so hard "My" eyes are stinging.

Color me disappointed - but still impressed.
I can't describe this without at least 8 vowels, I need a different keyboard
