Perhaps the activity named here will catch on:

Some feel that the shows popularity with fans and critics is what led Chapelle to seek refuse in South Africa.

I'm sorry but my blackness will not allow me to answer that question.

"Negro, please"

I don't know who invented it, but I first heard it in its cruder form in The Last Dragon (1985). Said to "Bruce Leroy" Green by Sho'nuff, the Shogun of Harlem. One of my favorite scenes in one of my favorite movies ever.

Should I just link to the rest, or should we relive the moment?

Suffice it to say we are two souls often heading towards the same door, saying to one another, "You first," "No you."

I'm pretty sure the cool kids have all moved on to Napoleon Dynamite.

Or, as a cool kid would say: Gosh! Idiots.

Baa, I question your blackness-- you call yourself black but we'll see if you'll play this!

Given this incident at the National Spelling Bee, I think we might be stretching things a little to say that the

cool kids have all moved onto Napoleon Dynamite.

Don't be jealous because I've been chatting with babes all day on the Internet.

Fontana, is that the greatest line in the history of rap, or what?

Everyone knows the context of Chapelle's "my blackness will not allow me to answer" line, right?

Baa, it's either that or "nikki was too quickie left a hickey on my dickie." It's a very difficult question.

Actually, I'm ashamed to say, I don't know the context. This bars me from playing "I know black people."

"Uh, Big Daddy Kane would say that, no, pimpin' ain't easy."

I've also been hearing a lot of "OMGWTF" used sarcastically.

Chop's link should be this.

Is that the same skit as with "F i F"?
