When being funny goes wrong…

Remember that scene in “The Nutty Professor” when Dave Chappelle’s character Reggie joked on Eddie Murphy’s character Sherman Klump, well it happened in real life. Kinda…

According to reports, Chappelle was performing in New Mexico when a man threw a banana peel at him for joking on his companion.

Chappelle noticed the man drawing a sketchbook during the show and asked the man his name, to which he responded “Johnny Appleseed.” After joking about it, the man grew angry. Apparently, he was drunk.

The man, Christian Englander, was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor disorderly conduct and battery.

Chappelle is no stranger to rude audience members. In 2013, he ended his act early after being heckled.
