Today marks the 15th anniversary of Dave Chappelle's seminal television series Chappelle's Show. Airing its first episode on January 22, 2003, Chappelle's Show went on for three more years before abruptly ending in 2006 with the airing of "The Lost Episodes," three episodes that came from what was supposed to be the series' third season.

In its end followed a number of TV shows and comedians inspired by it. Without Chappelle's Show it's hard to imagine Key & Peele, The Eric Andre Show, and other subversive comedy shows led by people of color.

So, in honor of Chappelle's Show we've compiled a number of GIFs that reflect the sometimes absurd but always insightful genius of the comedy show.
