Saturday Night Live: Chris Rock (1990-1993) I Am 11-Years Old, and Proud To Say I Love S.N.L.'s Chris Rock, his 4 Years on The Show Provide laughter, Comedy and Music: Especially, The Biggest Sketches of Him: Chris Rock's Guide To Surviving The Apollo (If You Are White), Nat X, and 2-Live Crew's Luther Campbell, Chris Rock was The 90's Eddie Murphy, and Eddie Murphy even Discovered him in 1987, and got him a Place in The 1990-1991' Season of The Show. I Love Chris Rock, and He Makes Spoofs off of Everybody and was a Popular and the Still on The Track (never a hasbeen), Comedian.
Great Commentaries, The Rest is "Blah!" First off, Chris Rock is funny. Really funny! I haven't seen him on SNL (I lost interest in that show a long time ago) but I was really looking forward to this DVD.
The best parts is when Chris Rock is NOT doing comedy sketches. The comedy was not funny at all. The only parts worth laughing at were lines not spoken by Chris Rock. If this was the best Chris Rock did on SNL then I'd had to see what didn't make the cut.
But what was funny was his social commentaries and correspondent reports. Chris Rock is the master at commenting on what is wrong with what goes on in this country.
If you rent or buy this then expect to not be entertained through most of the show. But the rare funny moments are worth hanging out for.
Not what you'd expect I bought this dvd thinking it was hillarious. I was very dissapointed. Didn't have the funnies you think.
That Guy Just Doesn't Understand! I'm writing this review in response to another reviewer (so far there is only one so HI!).
THIS GUYS HAS NO IDEA ABOUT WHAT THE HELL HE IS TALKING ABOUT! First off, Chris Rock is funny. Anybody who's seen and actually paid attention to his standup and sketches should know that. Which is probably why he managed to make it to #5 on Comedy Central's "100 Greatest Standups of All-Time". His social commentaries and life stories are hilarious. Period.
Now, for the juicy "your a dumb@$$ part!" The way you said Chris Rock wasn't funny at the Oscars, Dude! Is this Sean Penn I'm talking to?!? If so I'd just like to say SPICOLI!
When you said that SNL will never topple MADtv and In Living Color's minority humor, SNL is the godfather of minority humor, starting a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away with a little Richard Pryor & Chevy Chase sketch in which they threw racial slang terms at each other.
Eddie Murphy is annoying? I find that very weird to say considering you praised Aries Spears, who spends more than half of the time given to him on MADtv doing impressions of Eddie Murphy doing impressions. Watch any episode and it's always there!
"Sorry but SNL will never beat Laugh-In, In Living Color (which had Jim Carrey and J Lo before they were FAMOUS) or MadTV!!" That doesn't make a bit of sense! So I made a list of people on SNL who were not so famous before their big breaks on SNL:
Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, Billy Crystal, Martin Short, Jon Lovitz, Dennis Miller, Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, Kevin Nealon, Mike Myers, Ben Stiller, Chris Farley, Tim Meadows, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider, David Spade, Robert Smigel, Norm Macdonald, Jay Mohr, Molly Shannon, Janeane Garofalo, Sarah Silverman, Jim Breuer, Chris Kattan, Cheri Oteri, Colin Quinn, Will Ferrell, Tracy Morgan, Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey. And that's just the cream of the crop! Plus, as you can tell, they just keep comin'! By the way, Jennifer Lopez only danced.
