Featured review
At times a little crass, but certainly better than a slap in the face.
The humor hits about 50 percent of the time. Most hinge on the color of one's skin, crudeness and occasionally wit. Rock's delivery is very 'shouty', but I think that might be his style.
Unsurprisingly, most the jokes are political, and while political jokes can be funny, they feel a bit dated. Maybe if this was released 5 years ago it would have hit a bit harder. Also, perhaps related to the age, it feels like a lot of the jokes are borrowed (or maybe he's re-telling his old jokes). Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he's stealing jokes, and I'm not big into comedy, yet even to me many of them sounded familiar.
Would I recommend it? Ya, it's pretty funny, just a little crass for my liking.
