Chris Rock - Never Scared

Shipping was fast and in perfect condition. For those that Love Comedy Nights or just need a break from reality, Chris Rock is a definite must have for the collection. Chriss comedy is clever, insightful, and hits topics that everyone can relate to. This particular show in my opinion is not one of his best but still very good and entertaining.

While Mr. Rock did bring out some laughter, it did not come from the gut like his other skits. The pros: +The women complaining....youll never run out of material here. +I could see the truth in the Nelson Mandela enduring 27 years in a So. Africa Prison Camp...but could not even stand 6 months of marriage with his wife. +Now, his only purpose in life is to keep his daughter off the (strip) pole. Like thats really a high expectation. +Attempts to introduce and arouse interest in politics. The Cons: -Good intro and ending, but that in between was really long. -Too much zooming around at the crowd to show their reaction. Sure, out of 10,000, your going to have some people laughing. -Sketches on drugs, the white man, lap dances, were all played out. However, still better than most other comedians. Its hard staying funny for all these years.

All I can ask is how the hell does he observe so much and make it funny?

Although nothing could be as funny as Bring the Pain. Chris Rock doesnt let his fans down with Never Scared. He IS the funniest man in America!

Now its just my opinion, but whilst reading others reviews for Never Scared, I couldnt help but notice how everybody that gave lower ratings to this release spent a lot of time comparing it to his prior stand ups. I would just like to point out that if Chris Rock kept doing stand ups that were mirror images of Bring The Pain, and Bigger and Blacker, that his routine would quickly become redundant and old. Ill be the first to admit that I dont especially enjoy Never Scared as much as BTP and B&B, but by no means is it a disappointment. People can rant and rave all they want about how its not vintage Chris Rock, and its not as in your face. Personally, I think hes still very in your face, and though the issues he elaborates on may have become more serious and political, its still very much Chris Rock. For the DVD itself, I consider it well above average. Chris Rock definitely hasnt lost his ability to point out the obvious while still managing to make people look stupid. He speaks of many current issues, such as the Michael Jackson case, Janet Jackson, Kobe Bryant, George Bush and the war in Iraq, and much more. And like his prior two specials, he ends it with a completely hilarious segment on relationships and women, that will surely make men laugh their behind off (and many women too) , and shake their head in agreement at the same time. All in all, despite this being the weaker of his stand-ups, its still an above average special, and still quite worthy of adding to your Chris Rock collection. 8.5/10.

I like movie

Really funny

Chris Rock is an undisputed comic legend for his and probably any generation. He is one of the smartest,insightful,and socially aware comediens I probably have ever seen in my life.But for some reason, I dont find his stand up to be that FUNNY to me. I just dont get the same laugh out loud reactions from his punchlines that I would from a Richard Pryor or an Eddie Murphy or even a Dave Chappelle(not includingFor What Its Worth).But with Chris Rock I find myself nodding and agreeing more then actually laughing most of the time.I would however recommend this to any fan of smart,insightful,irreverent,type of comedy.Then again,Bring The Pain was probably 10 times better then this so id probably recommend that instead.

He might put down white people. Hell put down black people, men and woman, relationships, The government, and even himself at times but in a funny way, about how people can be just so weird. Because the truth always makes the funniest comedy. I Got all his HBO stand up specials from the first one (Bring the Pain) in 1996...And right from the get go he had that comic genius of great timing, truth, slapstick humor and is a million times funnier than Cosby, Pryor or Eddie Murphy ever was, as far as STAND UP COMEDY goes. This comedy special here is equally as hilarious as all of his specials are. So enjoy this one. But you have to get the other 3 main ones. Bring the Pain, Bigger and Blacker and Kill the Messenger. Theyre all EXACTLY the same......Funny as Hell!!...So I guess this review is for, all four of his comedy specials also....frankm-white guy-61 yrs. old...

Did Chris Rock make me laugh? - ah-hell yes!!! I never felt he ran out of material - he didnt dwell - he didnt rely on the default of sexual content to carry him. He just made me laugh. The fact that he always seems to have sharp insight into what he is talking about makes it all the more better. I loved it and I hope he comes out with more
