> 3 dayShipping 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.

Greater than one weekHes a funny guy, but like ALL African-American comedy shows, from HBO to the hole-in-the-wall comedy clubs, the loudest laughs come at the expense of Caucasians. Its sad to know in this day and age of terrorism, political uncertainty, and war that Chris Rock can still cash in on racism. This isnt news though is it? Show me a black comedian who doesnt rip on Caucasians, and THAT will be original. You know while some white people would be offended in an angry way by this, speaking for myself, it hurts my feelings more than anything else. The way I was raised--- to accept everybody for who they are, that racism is bad, equal rights are good and many other values passed to me from my WHITE parents and grandparents. All of that is rendered moot by people like Chris Rock who cant help but generalize, lump us all into evil groups of white-devils looking for the next, best way to keep a brother down--- as if morning, noon, and night this is the white mans sole pastime and occupation. With so much going on in the world today that we *should* joke about, here comes Chris Rock to pick at the scabs of history for a cheap laugh, all the while believing that he isnt a bigot. Now, if a white comedian said one sideways thing about blacks, you know what would happen. So if youre black, and love rubbing the past into the faces of people who werent there, and if you would rather participate in the creation of more animosity and mistrust between peoples of different colors during a time in our countrys history where we should all be sticking together, then by all means buy this and have yourself a hardy-har-har! It IS funny and it would be getting 4 stars if he could lay off off the racism, but then, name a black comedian of this generation who can... good luck.

> 3 dayWhile 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.

> 3 dayChris Rock has excellent delivery and uses the right compbination of truth, exaggeration, and story-telling to package his humour. One other person says that Rock focuses on racism and speaks badly of Caucasians while he (the reviewer)as a WHITE person was taught by his white parents to accept everyone. Very commendabe, but the person misses some things: Rock tears into the Jacksons, R Kelly and OJ and he pokes fun at black celebrities wasting their money on jewellery and car rims. So he makes fun of blacks and whites. And he doesnt attack caucasions as much as he reminds people of how the system has been run for over 300 years. Is that bad? No. Why? Because there are so many memorials for the Holocaust... even last year I saw various ceremonies. That took place over a period of about 6 years. Slavery in America took place for about 300 years. And the in thing now is for whites to say I wasnt there, T didnt to anything blacks etc. The slavery part of America and its impact are being pushed under the carpet. Even during Black History Month the predominatly white stations educate the country little about what happened. This ties in with one of Rocks pieces in which he says basically that it has been OK for whites to make money from pain. In this case the pain was slavery. It was bad, but its all in the past, I didnt have anything to do with it... get over it. In this regard Rock is instructive about The System. I think Rocks material would only upset someone because it makes them uncomfortable... because it is skilfully intertwined with truth. In fact the best comics use truth in their work. That reviewer also asked us to name one black comic in the last generation who hasnt used race as a major theme of his comedy. Ok, heres not one, but two: Bill Cosby and Will Smith. Further I have seen white comedians on Black Entertainment Television making race jokes against blacks and seen blacks laughing and laughed myself. Often jokes are made from stretching and garnishing things, and should be digested in that context. Rock demonstrates how intelligent he is by actually being wisely educational amidst it all. In-between-the-lines he tells blacks that if they think they are rich and have reached, thats not quite the case, and that they should not waste money on rims and jewellery and bling because it can all go quickly. Even Rick James was rich. And Rock covers many issues. The War, Parenting, Marriage, Celebrities and more. I only didnt give this 5 stars because I find Rock curses too much. But he IS funny and youll learn some useful things for life.
