Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

bbonacci-1 I must be a constipated moron according to a previous poster. I didn't find this very funny. I am no stranger to this type of humor and I am a HUGE fan of Jamie Foxx when he was on In Living Color. My rules of humor are this. No Rules! I was not offended by anything he said, I just think it wasn't all that funny. I watched this long before Whitney Houston's death and I really don't give a crap about her and didn't like her music, so what I am about to say has nothing to do with being offended for Whitney. That "crackish" thing was lame the first time he said it and then when he got the audience to start repeating it, I cringed. I give it 3 stars.

ff-lalani *Does contain some small spoilers* Overall an 8.5 IMO. With the exception of the drawn-out bit about LL.Cool.J and a couple other jokes, the routine was pure fire from start to finish. I really think most people didn't understand Jamie's humor or missed a lot of the subtleties & nuances. Even his presence on the stage and his sheer talent from hilarious impersonations to playing the piano & singing make him a great entertainer. Granted his jokes are raw and definitely non-PC. If you're a conservative suburbanite in his/her 50's, you probably won't understand or enjoy this. Otherwise this is Jamie Foxx at his best. His style is naturally funny, his impersonations are on target and the jokes he comes up with are creative/crazy as hell! Highly recommended! I can never watch a movie or comedy routine more than once or twice and I've seen this at least 10 times!

progen If I were him, I'd have just gotten off the stage and run for cover after changing names. It's total crap. The audience was lovely and they were doing their best to continue laughing despite the poor jokes. Wonder who taught him to repeat the same thing again and again after it'd failed the first time. Did he think that the audience couldn't catch what he was saying? He should learn from the true greats like George Carlin or even Chris Rock. His fake accents were lousy too. Really tiring to watch and even more tiring to just listen to. Sure sounded like a talk show at times because the laughter was so sparse. Everyone was quiet and I guess the only reason they laughed was because it was someone famous on stage. This is one show you shouldn't waste your time on unless you're really really really into Jamie Foxx.

veestar614 Jamie Foxx has forever presented himself as an unfunny comedian from his token turn in The Truth about Cats and Dogs to his now defunct sitcom, but with this HBO special, he has sunken to new lows. Starting off with terribly premature Taliban joke, (he constantly refers to the Taliban as Tenenbaum and other unneccesary things,)Foxx stands up to an audience that must have been regretting ever buying a ticket. This was the tip of the ice burg. Continuing with the stupid unnecessary jokes, Foxx goes on to explain his encounters with Jennifer Lopez's behind, his escapades at the Playboy Mansion, and a terrible bit about going to Africa, where he became aroused by a giraffe. His act is also quite homophobic, explaining that one only becomes gay after looking into Prince's eyes, cause he's so pretty. It would have been funnier to me if he had got up there and said, "I hate the Taliban, gays, and i love Jennifer Lopez's booty.", it would have made more sense.
