Dave Chappelle recently hosted Saturday Night Live (SNL) and brought his signature subversive humor to the long-running sketch comedy series. His hosting stint felt like a new episode of his iconic show, “Chappelle’s Show,” with many sketches that left viewers in stitches.
One standout sketch, “Evacuation Alert,” perfectly encapsulated Chappelle’s comedic brand. The sketch turned a serious topic – LA wildfires and the chaos of fleeing them – into an absurd family meltdown. It featured Chappelle playing a stressed-out father who had to flee his home with his family, but not before hiding cash, a fake passport, and even drugs in their dog.
The sketch took a dark turn when an assassin broke in, and Reggie, the father’s son, shot him with a silencer. The real kicker came when Reggie reprimanded his secret French family living in his wall for calling him “papa” in front of his real family. This absurdity and unexpected twists left viewers laughing out loud.
Many fans agreed that this sketch was comedy gold, with one viewer praising Lorne Michaels for letting Chappelle run wild with the material. With its unique blend of humor and shock value, “Evacuation Alert” showcased Chappelle’s signature style and cemented his place as a master of absurd comedy.
