Some Funny, Some Not So Funny

"I really like Cedric the Entertainer, but by this DVD saying "Jamie Foxx presents..." I thought Foxx was going to be in here somewhere. No such luck. Cedric only cracked a couple jokes as the host. However, they introduced some comics I knew nothing about and some I wasn't as familiar with, so it was cool to see fresh comedy.
Donnell Rawlings: He was cool, but I'm getting a little tired of him constantly talking about Chapelle. He went to Africa. Please let it go.
David Arnold: I love when comedians can make jokes about everyday events that most people wouldn't even think of. I cracked up about his issue with the six-week rule after pregnancy, dropping babies, and vacuuming. He's attractive too, which makes him nice to look at while I laugh at him. His comments about work is how I feel every SINGLE weekday!
Esau McGraw: I lived in Missouri for two years. All that hollering was not necessary, and it seemed so phony to me. I turned the volume down to the lowest level, so he wouldn't be screaming his jokes at me, but after awhile, I got so distracted that I stopped listening altogether.
Louie Katz: White men talking about their Black girlfriends--the cultural differences that these dudes learn always entertains me. He walked a tightrope when he said the line about hair smelling like chicken though. The crowd stopped laughing at that one, but I know he meant no harm. He was a pretty funny dude.
Spanky Hayes: I always thought Spanky was funny on "Wild n' Out," but I barely laughed at him here. It was a little disappointing. His jokes about dating White girls and bragging to the Black girls were funny though. He'll pick some controversial topics and meet them dead on. Good stuff.
Tony Scofield: I loooooooooooved his "One Man Riot" jacket. I would be so happy to find one that said "One Woman Riot" for myself. I am a grinch when it comes to technology, so I nodded my head through his tech savvy rant. He's telling the truth. The hot oil joke was funny. Put it on "popcorn." *cracking up*
Willy Barcena: I laughed SUPER hard at every single thing he said. That was a funny cat. He joked about everything from male/female arguments, talk shows and a 800 lb. woman, to wrestling. Barcena is the best kind of comedy. It looks natural to me, like he's just sitting in his living room and talking off the top of his dome instead of onstage in front of hundreds of people. I loved it!
