I'd put Chappell's Racial Draft Skit Up There With Anything

I don't normally like Chappell and I find him a bit overrated, but the Racial Draft skit in his preview was arguably the best comedy skit I've ever seen on any show. I was laughing so hard that I cried throughout the entire thing.

As good as "The Blind Black KKK leader"? I base everything off of that.

The entire skit was classic. Every line, from OJ Simpson through Oprah Winfrey, Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice, Madonna, Lenny Kravitz, Yao Ming, Wu Tang Clan - so good. Heck, I'd like to see it become a regular thing.

I thought the racial draft was clever, but not really laugh out loud funny. Honestly I thought the Samuel Jackson Beer was the funniest. "This is the way I talk bitch, haven't you ever seen my movies?"

Also the part where he was dancing like Michael Jackson in the laundrymat was a classic. As was the slow-mo shot of him flying off the toilet.

This is true, but it wasn't in the same context. On Chappelle's Show (dunno if you've seen it or not), the black KKK leader doesn't know he's black. On Mr. Show, the idea was completely different, and the fact that the KKK leader was black wasn't' really the entire joke anyway.

Not to say that one sketch was good and the other wasn't. They were both good. Just different contexts.
