Surprise! Dave Chappelle is returning to Netflix with “Dave Chappelle: Sticks & Stones,” a brand new comedy special that drops Aug. 26.

Watch the trailer, narrated by Morgan Freeman (who does say the f-word) above:

While the trailer contains absolutely no footage from the new comedy show, it does see Chappelle wandering through a bleak desert while Morgan Freeman delivers some highly dramatic voice over. “This is Dave. He tells jokes for a living. Hopefully he makes people laugh,” Freeman says. “But, these days it’s a high stakes game. How did we get here, I wonder? I don’t mean that metaphorically, I’m really asking. How did Dave get here?”

“I mean, what the f— is this?” Freeman blurts out.

Of course, the camera continues to follow Chappelle as he walks through what looks to be some punishing desert heat and bleak, arid sand.

“But, what do I know, I’m just Morgan Freeman. Anyway, I guess what I’m trying to say is, if you say anything, you risk everything. But, if that’s the way it’s got to be, fine. F— it. He’s back, folks.”

The categories for “My Week With Marilyn” and “The Tourist” also had moviegoers scratching their heads

"Green Book" has been nominated for a Golden Globe in the "Musical or Comedy" category for Best Picture. While eating Kentucky Fried Chicken in a car may seem funny to some, the based-on-a-true-story road trip is more of a light-hearted drama than anything else. But this isn't the only time that a movie strategically played category fraud to get a nomination. Here are 10 other instances that raise an eyebrow:
