Chris Rock - Never Scared

Chris Rock seems to be following Pryors career arc: a dynamic, revelatory first concert follwed by a succession of increasingly weaker and less magical ones. Dont get me wrong, hes still the best out there, still vital and still an important artist. Its just that his sets are becoming looser and less focused, robbing his top-flight writing of some of its impact. For example, the first 30 minutes or so are a bit of a drag as he skewers troubled celebrities who have already had quite enough of it ( Who hasnt made fun of O.J. by now? ). He also gets caught up in his own words a bit e.g. Michael Jackson...Michael Jackson...Michael Jackson!... ( alright, I hear ya, now what? ) which eats up time and slows down the flow. What saves him and this concert are his prickly intelligence and his ferocious indignation at societys constraints, hypocrasies, and double-standards. When he gets down to his views on politics, race, and relationships, thats when he finally starts to fire on all cylinders and remind us why hes #1. Toward the end, he starts to remind me of George Carlins recent work ( You Are All Diseased for instance, because of his similar angry take on a society gone mad ), which is a good thing since Carlin is still vibrant while sadly, Pryor isnt. Everything considered, despite the flaws, this is essential viewing and tasty brainfood for the angry philosopher.

VERY VERY GOOD. Just as funny as i remembered. Thanks a lot, for keeping these great comedians alive.

Its a good funny show.

Great live comedy show. A little on the crude side at times but Chris Rock pulls it off. LOL all the way through.

I got tired of trying to find this on youtube so I just bought the full version, well worth the money.

great

I 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.

This is one of the funniest specials hes ever done, maybe the funniest. If youre an adult and love to laugh you cant go wrong with this.

Chris Rock is so funny this has to be me favorite comedy show, He practically covers every subjuct in this show. From marriage to politics, Great gift for someone who has a good sense of humor and likes to attend comedy shows, youll be falling out of your seat!!Shipping was great as well!

What can you add? Nothing! Pure fun, great humor and fantastic energy & performance by C.R.
