'Chappelle's Show' is easily one of the greatest comedy programs of all time. The guests. The blunt social comedy. I mean, Dave Chappelle. There are so many episodes and moments that we've shared eagerly with friends and watched too many times to count. But the one that feels universally loved (Besides Piss On You, of course) is the late great Charlie Murphy's 'True Hollywood Stories' tale of playing (and losing) a game of basketball with a bloused up Prince.

The story is beloved for a reason. And yesterday, on Twitter, the internet was gifted further proof of Prince's skills on the court, thanks to user @freezep0p. They uploaded footage from a Prince's LOVESEXY tour in which the musical genius flaunts some serious basketball skills. He spins the ball on his finger and then proceeds to absolutely nail a shot with the ease of Michael Jordan. The tweet quickly went viral, and spawned some serious nostalgia for Murphy's epic anecdote. 

As anti-racism protests continue to be held around the United States following the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, many people are receiving some serious education in the area of race relations and the way police treat people of color. Given the climate, comic Kenny DeForest thought it was the right time to share this story from 2015. Dave Chappelle was a surprise guest at one of DeForest's shows at the Knit in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and the crowd (who may have been hoping for a standard set) received a sobering and eye-opening story about the history of black people and police in the US. By the end, even people who initially made light of his tale were humbled and grateful for the experience. It feels very relevant right now, and is a testament to the fact that it is possible to change minds.

While technology has given us the ability to do some amazing things, it's also given us the ability to do terrible, cursed and weird things. Things like photo shopping two celebrities or characters together to make a cursed Frankenstein of fame. Some of these meme mashups are impressive, others are a little more rough around the edges, but they share one important quality: they're completely unnecessary. And completely entertaining.  

Get in the zone with this big ol' batch of mildly offensive maymays. Sometimes you need some great memes without losing a piece of your soul by the time you finish reading through them. Sometimes you need dankness, but sans the prerequisite groans, moans, and bemoaning your terrible sense of humor, and finding humor in the most heinous of topics. But enough about your collection of Sesame Street kink. This collection is perfect for those trying to remain in a healthy balance between worlds, but still get their daily fix, just like you can here with these fresh dank memes, if you dare. But if you are just struggling to round out your day and push on towards freedom, then you have to check out these hilarious dank memes made to ensure you survive the day.

Instead of sitting through a boring high school history class, why not browse through these educational memes? Who's ever really learned anything by reading boring-ass textbooks, anyway? That being said, we do recommend that you pay attention in your history class so that we can't be held accountable if you fail your tests...

Step right up and get the dank memes while they're hot!

It looks like comedian Dave Chappelle's comeback extends to more than just his comedy. Reddit's meme community has turned a still from a 2004 episode of his show into a meme that is strikingly similar to "Improvise, Adapt, Overcome." While some redditors choose to moan about the lack of creativity, others have opted to make some actual jokes that we think you might enjoy.
