> 24 hourthis is chris rocks best work yet. its very political which is good (unless youre a conservative) especially in the times which we are living in. hes very angry also, but no different than a george carlin kind of rage. someone has written that its an anti-white politcal rally which is absurd! hes just as racial as hes always been (and theres a difference between racial and racist). anyone offended by this is most definetly a racist. if youre not outraged like every american should be, then youre not gonna relate anyways. if he strikes a nerve then he is probably talking about you! it would be racism if chris rock had no basis to form these opinions from, but we all know the bloody history of our country and he just reminds us who the real terrorists are and have been since they landed on plymouth rock. its the same chris, just fueled by a new post 9/11 ignorance only found in america which equals great humor. david cross, george carlin, bill hicks, doug stanhope all say the same things as chris but somehow its offensive when a black comedian says it. if a white comedian sees the same flaws in white society then maybe theres something wrong with society... i agree with everything he says and if you like his previous material then you will too.

> 24 hourIll admit that there was a (very short) stretch during this show where I felt Chris Rock got a bit carried away with his political and racial beefs. Its all right, if its all white is funny once, not five times. Im white, I can handle the ugly truth, but shoving it down my throat by using the stage as a soapbox isnt gonna make me laugh. If youve seen some of George Carlins later shows, when he became far too preachy with his political grievances, you know what I mean. Nevertheless, 90% of this show was Chris Rock at his finest and sharpest, and will have any fan glued, laughing til your face hurts.

> 24 hourChris Rock - Never Scared is the fourth time he has appeared in an HBO special. Its a very unique comic performance. Filmed at the DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, DC, the show starts off slowly, with Rock doing material about strippers and rap music that really is more nasty than funny. But he quickly gets back to the hilarity when talking about Michael Jackson and the King Of Pops relatives, as well as NBA baller Kobe Bryant and RNB star R. Kelly. The laughs come fast and furious through the middle of the show in a big, big way! However, the surprise comes in the second half when the concert changes again, and this is where the routine becomes almost too true to be funny. Rock prowls the stage and talks of some very serious topics from some very intriguing angles. Hes almost preaching a sermon when speaking of the difference between rich and wealth. His points about marriage and Affirmative Action could be put in a Sociology textbook! Its simply brilliant and razor sharp commentary. Rock claims his place as the top stand up in the country with this performance. As an extra treat, you get to see Rocks first HBO special, included as a bonus. Its a must see. Highly Recommended!

> 24 hourI have to say I love the bit about how women say, I hate this sh_t! You could have too much, too little, more than, less than, and it still would not be safe from judgment. Too funny!

> 24 hourI purchased this DVD for my husband as a gift because I had seen part of it with a friend and found the section that I listened to pretty hilarious. My husband watched about three-quarters of the DVD and thought that there were some really funny pieces, but overall wasnt too impressed with the humour. He found some of it disturbing and not so funny.
