Customer Reviews of Best of the Chris Rock Show
Simply the best from the King of Comedy The "Best of the Chris Rock Show" highlights some of the funniest moments that have aired on this HBO show. Rock, who simply is the best comedian out there now, takes a liberal, yet hysterical view of many topics raging from racism to the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal with a dosage of his trademark, raunchy humor.
The highlights of this compilation have to be Rock's personal approach in interviewing everyday common people about topics that have made headlines lately. Who else but Chris Rock can go to Harlem, to speak to both African-Americans and Asians on what they feel about Tiger Woods and golf. While Woods' biracial heritage (African-American and Asian) might not interest many, Rock's the reactions he gets from several Asian shop owners only points out that race is still important in America.
In another of his everyday interviews with the public, he asks several Harlem residents about how they felt upon hearing news of Princess Diana's death. While many people gave stupid responses, Rock's zaniness in asking ridiculous questions has made this a staple of his show.
Two skits I loved were the skits titled "Pundits" and "Racism/Gay PSA". In the former, Rock asks a panel of three actors what they feel about the Clinton scandal, only to get a series of hilarious replies. In the latter, we see a PSA of a white male approaching an African-American male on the dark streets of New York. While we might think this is a Public Service Announcement about racism, many viewers will be shocked that it isn't. In fact it is an announcement promoting colorless love...in the GAY community. Just plain hilarious!
If you love original comedy in the style of such shows as "Saturday Night Live" and "In Living Color", then the "Best of the Chris Rock Show" is a must see. Chris Rock definitely rules!
Chris Rock is Much Funnier Than This DVD Shows
Some people are more suited for sketch comedy while others are better at standup. Chris Rock is definitely a standup comedian. Be forewarned that this is a collection of moments from his HBO show and not a standup set. These sketches are not very funny nor are they original.
Never seen an episode
I was in for a treat. This was al new Chris Rock of me. And I ate it up. Chris Rock is simply the best comic in a one man show. I don't have cable TV, and if I did, I would never be home to watch it, so with this being my first exposure to the Chris Rock Show, no wonder it is the hit it is. Great work.
