Jerry Seinfeld is a master of subtlle comedy. He never fails in his delivery and I really like the guy, myself being a huge fan of his old tv show and all.

It took him a little while to get going but once he got comfortable with the audience, this stuff was fuckin' hilarious. It started real slow so don't be discouraged if it's not that funny at the beginning. The guy's got incredible stamina and energy on stage that it's impossible for you to lose interest once the speed picks up. It's the funniest thing I've seen in a while and he really has the guts to take on the audience with his crude and vulgar language, his own political beliefs and jokes borderlining on being offensive and racist. A lot like Dave Chappelle. The best thing is almost all of what he said is kind of like the truth though he presents them as jokes.
Always been a fan of Chris Rock but this made me an even bigger fan of him. A must watch for anyone who loves standup comedy.

Chris Rock: [on John McCain talking about being in a POW camp] I don't wanna vote for nobody who got captured, I wanna vote for the motherfucker that got away!
Probably the best of Chris Rock so far. He does run out of steam nearing the end but this is really great fun to watch and so much of what he says is actually true even though these are all jokes.
The editing sucked but I eventually got used to the whole seamless jumpcuts showing him in London, NY and Johannesburg, which from what I heard is an attempt to show the varying crowd reaction to certain jokes in different places. Nice concept but it's rather distracting.
The guy totally deserves much more recognition and as far as black comedians are concerned, for me he's up there with all time greats like Chappelle, Cosby etc.

Not even close to as funny as some of his earlier works. Maybe he's lost it a bit now that he's a rich celebrity and all. Frankly the whole middle portion of this one seemed all too repetitive and not really funny. Even the audience didn't seem to enjoy it as much. It's the same white people vs black people stuff. I've heard it one too many times perhaps. He did pretty well with the other parts though, apart from trying to justify rap music perhaps?. Some of it was real funny, like the Mandela joke at the end and the whole marriage issue. He totally nailed it. The Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson stuff was pretty great as well. Hilarious indeed.
But at the end of the day, I don't think it's memorable enough. Don't get me wrong. Chris Rock is a great comedian and I like some of his works a lot. But this is far from what he's capable.

Chris Rock's second best show perhaps. Pretty fuckin' hilarious. Had a good time watching this. The best thing about Chris is probably not his jokes but how he presents them.

...About this time, someone is telling you to get on the plane. "Get on the plane. Get on the plane." I say, "fuck you, I'm getting IN the plane! IN the plane! Let Evil Knievel get ON the plane! I'll be in here with you folks in uniform! There seems to be less WIND in here!"
...The next sentence I hear is full of things that piss me off. "Before leaving the aircraft, please check around your immediate seating area for any personal belongings you might have brought on board." Well, let's start with "immediate seating area." SEAT! It's a god damn seat! Check around your seat! "For any personal belongings..." Well, what other kinds of belongings are there besides personal? PUBLIC belongings? Do these people honestly believe I might be traveling with a fountain I stole from the park? "... you might have brought on board." Well... I MIGHT have brought my arrowhead collection! I didn't. SO I'M NOT GOING TO LOOK FOR IT! I'm going to look for things I BROUGHT on board! It would seem to increase the likelihood of my finding something, wouldn't you say?
As far as standup comedy is concerned, this guy is a fucking genius. A legend if you ask me.
