So Dave Chappelle performed a surprise six hour stand-up gig in LA the other night, just a few days after Dane Cook set the Comedy Store record with a four hour routine. One has gotta believe that this was basically Chappelle’s way of very quickly whipping out his, uh, joke list and saying “No way Dane.”

Comedy has a really interesting status system and respect (or lack of respect) among standups is paramount. See Joe Rogan v Carlos Mencia for example.
