Chris Rock - Never Scared

Hes 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.

I cannot support this disgusting person. Check out his 2018 Netflix special where he says he wants equal amounts of white kids shot every month and wants to see white mothers on tv crying. Despicable.

Funny...rambling Chris Rock.

Apparently, 80 minutes proved to be way too much time for Chris Rock. His first was the best at 56 minutes. The second special was not as good but still great at 65. Then he gives us this. Eighty minutes of ZZZzzzzzzzz. I love Chris Rocks style of comedy. His in your face, but not aimed AT YOUR face profanity and unique delivery has made him the blueprint for other stand up comics. (Notice how comedy central stand up specials sound more and more like CR shows?). Now, after the high standard that he set for himself, It wouldnt be a surprise if he slips a little bit. Maybe another Bigger and blacker. I mean, how does one top Bring the pain? Now adoring Chris Rock so much actually made it painful to see him perform Never scared. Watching him tell his jokes in front of a yawning Washington crowd reminded me of the time Tyson got knocked out by Buster Douglas. Just when you thought the guy was invincible, he ends up picking up his mouth-piece from the ring. I felt sorry for the man as he went through his routine. If this was some unknown comic you were watching in an old New York basement you might find this routine decent. But no! C.R. is stand up royalty and what he put on this disc just aint worthy of him. There were some portions that were still reminiscent of his old self. The mock the celebrities and Nelson Mandela part was pretty hilarious. Everything else is filler. And Im talking about wasted tape (wasted disc space if you bought the DVD). Now Im asian. It shouldnt bother me that he makes fun of white people. Hell, I laughed my ass off of his white-black jokes on his first two shows. But the way he spit it out on Never scared is just disgusting. Its disgusting how he reffered to the NFL blacks as descendants of negro super-slaves. Its disgusting how he talked about how only the white man can profit from pain. Its freakin disgusting when he started to explain why we shouldnt fear Al Quaeda when he asked the crowd did Al-Quaeda put Anthrax in your mail...no! did Al-Quaeda blow up the building in Oklahoma...no! He sounds like a black Adolf Hitler preaching about the evil things that white people do. I wouldnt be surprised if Osama cut clips from this show for his next anti-US propaganda video.There are more claps than laughs from the crowd and thats bad if youre a stand-up comic. I hope this is not a preview of things to come.

Well Chris is back and he has moved on to a new part of his life which is reflected in his material. My personal favourite bits were I nver got a smart lap dance and Being Married. He has mellowed a bit in the humour but he still can provide the knock out punch of humour..

I love his specials - I was back home in D.C. when this special was shot. My old friend had tickets and I was JEALOUS! Its such an entertaining DVD. CLEAR HEELS? Krispie Kreme Donuts. Rich Vs. Wealthy. CLASSIC!

Great and arrived quick

Dvd came on time one of the funniest Chris Rock comedy special thank you

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.

Ill 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.
