Product Description Chris Rock: Bigger & Blacker (DVD)"The funniest man in America" according to Time magazine and Vanity Fair, presents an hour of "riotously funny" (Entertainment Weekly) and "breathtakingly provocative" (Chicago Sun-Times) outstanding stand-up comedy.]]> .com Comedian Chris Rock makes a raucous return to his stand-up roots in this HBO special filmed at Harlem's legendary Apollo Theater. Despite his manic and profane delivery, Rock's comedy is often rooted in traditional subjects for comedians: family relationships, misunderstandings between men and women, and observations on how childhood has changed. But he takes his material right to the edge, proving himself to be a sharp-eyed satirist. Serious and timely issues, such as school shootings or children being neglected by partying parents, are tackled by Rock, who's not afraid to slip in a serious point while being hysterically funny. His defense of President Clinton against his accusers is a good example of how Rock's material is almost always bound to offend someone: he slices through the self-righteous rhetoric of the impeachment spectacle, but even the behavior he defends comes in for ridicule with jokes that are extremely funny as well as extremely coarse. The pace of this one-hour show is uneven, and some viewers will no doubt find Rock's penchant for using profanity as punctuation tiresome. But those who like intelligent comedy with a hard edge will find much to laugh at in Chris Rock: Bigger and Blacker. -- Robert J. McNamara

Ehh...Not so great
I'm a big Chris Rock fan. Seen him live and all his shows. This one pushes the crude, raunchy language way to far. Maybe he's getting paid by the word. I have no problem with salty language at all. But this really seems like a joke to see how much he can fit in at a time. It ruins the fine comedy he is capable of. Just makes him sounds like a rehearsed, acting, low intelligence, hood rat.

Whatever happened to 'Crazy'?
`Bigger And Blacker' is one of the funniest standup routines I have ever seen. Rock is in his finest hour here, spewing out admonitions on parenting, relationships, childhood, and even the Presidency, while making me laugh until I choked. His amazingly funny satire brings with it the stinging bite of truth, which in turn makes it all the more laughable.Generously peppered with the "F" word, you certainly won't enjoy his humor if you can't stomach the profanity, not to mention that most of his subjects are in the "adult" realm, such as Hilary Clinton's job as First Lady, and why it's easier for women to score.The part I found the funniest in his routine is his reproach towards parents to take care of their children, using such hilarious statements such as, "You have to teach your kids more words other than `Mommy be back'", and the excuses people use to explain away their crimes (Whatever happened to `Crazy'?).Rock's performance is high energy, satirical, scolding, profane, intelligent, and most of all...hilariously funny. Even after repeat viewings I still laugh out loud at this performance, one of the best since Eddie Murphy's `Delirious'. If you are looking for a few side-splitting belly laughs, then pick up a copy of `Bigger And Blacker'. Enjoy!

Achtung - Länderkennung Amerika!
An und für sich eine tolle DVD, tolle Qualität und recht zügige Lieferung.Allerdings besitzt die DVD die amerikanische Länderkennung, wodurch man sie in Europa nicht ohne weiteres abspielen kann. Eine entsprechende Information dazu wäre überaus hilfreich gewesen.
