Amazon.com: "Apoplectic" is the word to describe Lewis Black's 2006 engagement at Washington DC's Warner Theater. There's eye-crossing, teeth-gnashing, raspy-voiced yelling, and liberal use of the f-word. (As Black reveals, the Kennedy Center refused their facilities on the grounds that he used the word 42 times in his first hour-long HBO special.) Then again, George W. Bush's second term has given the comedian much to be apoplectic about--Dick Cheney's hunting mishap, airport (in)security, the president's support of creationism, and the inanity of 24-hour cable news. At one point, he admits, "I just can't keep up with all the...stuff," although that isn't his exact phrase. Lest potential viewers think Black (The Daily Show, Black on Broadway) is nothing but a blue state apologist, he makes his distaste for John Kerry clear, i.e. "The fact of the matter is for the Democrats not to be able to find somebody who could've defeated George Bush is beyond belief--it's stunning." Black also explores misconceptions about Judaism, the media obsession with Terry Schiavo, and myths about the "homosexual agenda," which is to say: there isn't one. A few too many excretory jokes aside, Black otherwise makes good points and produces hearty laughs--some from his proud parents, who are part of the audience. As for the extras, they're brief, but amusing, and English is the only audio option. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
Funny as Hell! Lewis Black is a comedian Genius! He rants about everything that most people think about. BUY IT!!!
Great ! ! This the best one I've seen yet ! Doesn't hold anything back here.. Its what you expect from him, and more.. Can't wait for "The Root of All Evil"
Very Funny One of the best stand up acts I've seen. It gets funnier every time I watch it.
Way too funny! Lewis Black is not for everyone - however, if you like to laugh, this show cannot be beat. He takes everyone to task (Democrats, Republicans, Independents) for the rediculous things done by politicians. He does use some foul language, so if you are easily offended, beware.
Hilarious comedian who is not afraid of being critical Lewis Black's politically based HBO special typically results in non-stop laughs. He has a way with words and is not afraid to call things as he sees them. Extremely critical toward the hypocrisy and apparent lack of common sense which is evident in modern American politics (and society in general), he will either make you laugh uncontrollably or curse with anger, depending on what side of the fence you find yourself. There seems to be no issue that Lewis Black will not touch.
