[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Does anyone think Chris Rock is funny?

Posted: 3/3/2006 9:27:26 PM EDT

There a "comedy" special on HBO right now, and I use "comedy" loosely because I don't know what else to call it and for the last 30 minutes I haven't even chuckled once.

A whole 1 1/2 hours I guess of "Whitey is bullshit" "Blacks always get the shaft" "Guns are the white devils tool" and other shit like that. It not even funny, but the audience seems to laughing.

He sucks!

Oh, Jeff Foxworthy is much funnier I think.

Occasionally he can be funny....but then again, a stopped clock is right twice a day.

He used to be...

"Clear heels"

Most of his material is pretty good.

Well I'll admit, that I started watching it again and I did laugh a little a couple of times, but that's because he's finally moved on from the race shit.

He might be mildly funny if he'd drop the whole race and politcal bullshit from his bit. That shit went on WAY to long, and it wasn't the least bit funny, saying shit like "I ain't affraid of Al qaeda, I'm affraid of Al cracka" and other dumb shit that would considered racist if certain other people where to say the same things.

Really?

Not only does a lot of his material suck, but his voice is enough to make me want to start beaking things.

Like I said, if he's not crying about blacks getting fucked over and how bad guns are and how much he hates whitey, he's mildly ammusing at best.

LOL, there are certain things I think are hilarious. Like for instance when he says that the government is just a bunch of drug dealers, (was it chris rock who said that the government wants everyone to be on antidepressants so they are easier to control because they wont care anymore?) and when he talks about robitussin being the cure for everything. I dont really appreciate his comments about black and white people though....

Have you heard his stuff about being on a street called MLK? Or how to not get beat up by cops? Or Black people vs. N______s?

I saw him at a club in NYC about 15 years ago, and he was not remotely funny.

Most of the jokes I hear Rock doing picks at all races equally. IMO, he is far from a guy crying that Blacks are constantly getting fucked over by "da man".

not even remotely funny; not even slightly amusing.

I liked this one even though there's some racist stuff in it.

"How not to get your ass kicked by the police."

"I love black people, but I hate N*****s" would be one of his most famous routines, which I thought was pretty funny (it was an affirmative action race-bashing set

)

"How NOT to get your ass kicked by the police" was another funny one.

He may be annoying, but he is far from a "blacks are getting beat down by the White Man" type of comedians, and beats the hell out of that Chapelle flake.

You obviously haven't seen what I was watching. He couldn't have been crying about it any more clearly.

Well I don't have a transcript obvioulsy, but saying things such as "Drugs are illegal because brown people make money off of it" "Alcohol and cigarettes are only legal because white people sell them, and that black people would be in prison if they sold cigarettes" "White people won't let black people have wealth".

Hmm, sounds like anti-white crying to me.

He says nasty things about Blacks..he says nasty things about Whites...Most of "Bigger and Blacker" had nothing to do with race. (I just skimmed the transcript) If your feelings are hurt write a letter.

Show me a black comedian who does not use mostly racial material. I would like to see a white comedian have the nards to do it in reverse, it would be a hoot.

Wow, he must have changed his routine since I last paid attention to him.

Either that or someone's being hypersensitive.

Here's a hint, if you're easily offended, stay away from stand up.

Chris rock is funny and takes more digs at black people than any other race. Anyone that thinks Chris Rock is some pro-black anti white fanatic doesnt know shit
