Dave Chappelle is still the king—but we already told you this. With Tuesday's release of two new comedy specials on Netflix, Chappelle's skilled approach to stand-up has everyone glad he didn't dip out forever after calling off Chappelle's Show years ago.

Though the specials haven't even been live for a full 24 hours, fans are already hitting Twitter with praise for the pair of hourlong sets:
