Summary: Simply the best from the King of Comedy
Review: The "Best of the Chris Rock Show" highlights some of the funniest moments that have aired on this HBO show. Rock, who simply is the best comedian out there now, takes a liberal, yet hysterical view of many topics raging from racism to the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal with a dosage of his trademark, raunchy humor.The highlights of this compilation have to be Rock's personal approach in interviewing everyday common people about topics that have made headlines lately. Who else but Chris Rock can go to Harlem, to speak to both African-Americans and Asians on what they feel about Tiger Woods and golf. While Woods' biracial heritage (African-American and Asian) might not interest many, Rock's the reactions he gets from several Asian shop owners only points out that race is still important in America. In another of his everyday interviews with the public, he asks several Harlem residents about how they felt upon hearing news of Princess Diana's death. While many people gave stupid responses, Rock's zaniness in asking ridiculous questions has made this a staple of his show. Two skits I loved were the skits titled "Pundits" and "Racism/Gay PSA". In the former, Rock asks a panel of three actors what they feel about the Clinton scandal, only to get a series of hilarious replies. In the latter, we see a PSA of a white male approaching an African-American male on the dark streets of New York. While we might think this is a Public Service Announcement about racism, many viewers will be shocked that it isn't. In fact it is an announcement promoting colorless love...in the GAY community. Just plain hilarious! If you love original comedy in the style of such shows as "Saturday Night Live" and "In Living Color", then the "Best of the Chris Rock Show" is a must see. Chris Rock definitely rules!

Summary: Chris Rock Video is tops in Comedy
Review: There was no pain watching this video. I enjoyed the "pundits" on Monica and Bill. Take a chance and get your funny bones ready for a tickle. Chris Rock is going to bring the jokes and the laughs!

Summary: Not as funny as you might guess
Review: Though I'd never seen the show, I ordered volume 2 because Chris Rock is the funniest man in the world. I was really disappointed. It's nothing like his stand-up. It's just a not-great sketch show. I laugh more during any given episode of SNL. The taxi cab confessions stuff is pretty good. Not worth owning.
