Summary: Song Nmae
Review: I have a question: what was the name of the song when Bernie Mac came on stage???

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You will laugh your .... off
Review: These men are the true kings of comedy. There will never be a moment of ceased laughter from the time you pop this in. The best of all four (even though they all are funny) is Bernie Mac. Bernie will have you laughing so hard that you won't be able to breath. If you don't have this movie, you are missing the most hilarious comedy show ever.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I looooove DL Hughley!!
Review: The whole DVD was good if only for this one comedian. Some of the other ones were ok, but DL was the best one TO ME.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: very funny - replay factor is high
Review: I read all the reviews here before buying it and actually came away with my own opinion.....first off this dvd is funny - I taped it to audiocassette to listen in my car over and over....its funnier and funnier the more and more you listen....here's my rundown on each comic...

1. steve harvey - a bit disappointed in his performance...seen him on apollo theatre and he's really funny without the profanity....he kinda gets thugish in this show...tries to gangster the audience...actually critisizes the audience a few times....insults them and charlotte audience actually boos him a couple times and one time he gave the middle finger to the audience....the 70's song reminisce was good though...

2. dl hughley - ok....he tells his jokes quick...not really a set up and deliver style...just shotgun the jokes left and right...pretty good though...when he goes after the audience it was pretty funny....good but not great for dl..

3. sedric the entertainer...- funniest of the 4 ...this guy was funny! almost every story he told was real funny...his routines that involved music was the best...the reggae song, the breakdance routine, the spaceshuttle ...all great stuff....he doesn't swear as much cause he doesn't have to...sedric the entertainer was the most polished comic of the 4.....i need to see more sedric..

4. bernie mac - confident and brash is how bernie is....he wills his audience to laugh - his themes are downright outrageous - beating up kids but the audience is so falling out of their chairs that as you watch it it makes it seem much funnier...his big mama humming is real funny - he talks with confidence....like he knows he's funniest man on earth and it comes out that way....pretty good stuff....

all the comics are dressed clean as the board of health....I recommend buying this dvd - its great to laugh!

Summary: dishing out my 2 cents
Review: I don't watch that much stand up comedy but I am familiar with the Steve Harvey show and like Bernie Mac real well so I decided to give this a try. The show takes place in Charlotte, NC in February of 2000 and it was full of energy when these four guys took the stage. Here's a list of what all each guy talks about and my opinion about there segments
1. Steve Harvey
He has three segments, but in his first segment he talks about how he's proud to be a country boy and how they appreciate stuff better than city folks. Then he talks about the Carolina Panthers and goes on to poke fun at a player by the name of Rae Curruth and how stupid he was to plan out his escape. He ended the segment on the movie Titanic. This part I did find humorous. He complains about it being too long and if it was about blacks it wouldn't have lasted 15 minutes and demonstrated on a black person would've used their creativity in escaping the sinking ship by turning over a diner table and got on it.
Not bad but his next two segments were better.
D.L. Hughley
Hughley's segment contains poking fun at some of the people in the audience, black and white comparisons on job firings and special interests, and talk about relationships but in a kinky way. My favorite parts of his segments was on pumping gas. "Give me 52 cents on pump 1 please" and that bungy jumping was too much like lynching for blacks and that regular sh*t was all they need for entertainment and he spots a guy with blonde hair and tells that he looks like he got his ass whipped with a bottle of peroxide(I think I spelled that right).
Steve Harvey part II
There's only one part to this segment and that is music. He says that hip hop makes me sick because they don't sing about love, everyone has to have a mic, and rap concerts have too many instructions. My favorite part was where demonstrated a typical rap concert. "Everybody pump it up, wave your hands like you don't care, someone say Ho, somebody scream. Motherf---er for what? I paid 38.50, g--dammit you scream!" Then he tries to impersonate some of his favorite songs back in the day which was very entertaining.
Cedric the Entertainer
cedric says that the reason you don't hear about 6 or 7 black folks getting killed at one time is because they run. They don't ask why they're running, if you start running then dammit I'm gonna run too. Talks about black folks progressing in sports other than basketball. He does a good impressions of black folks playing hockey and being announcer for golf games. He says that blacks couldn't handle that kinda of job because they can't stay quiet for 30 seconds. Of course I'm a groan ass man slogan is always hilarous.
Steve Harvey III
Steve talks about going to church with an old lady named Sister O'Dale and she was the only reason he used to love to attend church because she cursed and some of her songs that she song at church which were theme songs on t.v.shows. I laughed so hard at this segment I had tears streaming down my face especially when gave a demonstration of sister o'dale seeing the offering plate coming around. "I'm sick of this sh*t, I've got bills in my m'fing house, you keep passing this S.O.B. by me, you're gonna f*ck around and come up short.
Bernie Mac
Bernie the most raunchy but most entertaining segment talks about how we need to punish kids like they did back in the day. Raising his brother's kids, opening up his day care center, and big momma. I loved when he talked about his future day care center. He says he will f-ck your kid up, the first 30 days are free and if you see a big knot on your kid's head it's because he took a hammer and slapped the f-ck out of them. I like how his body is weary and he can't satisfy his wife's sexual needs like he used to and if she had a problem with it she would have to get another man and that that 3 minutes is as long as he can give an organsm.
The show is pretty raunchy like I said, but if your open minded and have a good sense of humor, you should love this

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Telling it like it is!
Review: The Original Kings of Comedy/Queens of Comedy Gift Set is a great gift for anyone to recieve and/or buy.
These are two very, very funny movies worth watching and well worth the money.
Both movies are AWESOME! and you'll see these ladies can hold their own in this funny field comedy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Compulsively Watchable..
Review: When comedy makes you howl with laughter (D.L.Hughley riffing on men's dirty underwear and black people quitting their jobs) remember good times in your youth (Cedric The Entertainer's take on gangs being break dancers or his now classic 'I'm a grown a** man dawg!' routine)cry with joy and delight (Steve Harvey's sing along with the audience to EW&F, The Ohio Players and Lenny Williams and his cursing in church bit....'I don't know how much money these mother****er's think I got!')and even flinch but still bust a gut (Bernie Mac's entire half hour, the best thing here) then you know you've witnessed true brilliance. Spike Lee's direction is kinetic and the way he involves the audience makes you feel like you're part of the crowd. While there's plenty of profanity and risque' humor, everone here seems to be having the time of their lives and the feeling is addictive, joyous and upbeat. I put this on when I need my spirits lifted and it works everytime. A new comedy classic.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good movie!
Review: I am a big stand up freak.I am always looking for new guys to try out.I don't care if they are white,black or Hispanic,they can be funny either way.I decided to check this out because I had heard good things about it,and D.L. Hughley is one of my favorite comedians.Here is my review of each comedian:Steve Harvey starts this show off.He does routines about the Titanic,music,and going to church,with A LOT of swearing.He is probably my third favorite on here.D.L. Hughley continues the show.He does routines about jobs,racism and what black people do for excitement.In"What Blacks Do For Excitement",he says that blacks don't bungee jump
because it looks to much like lynching.That made me laugh a lot.He is more vulgar than Steve Harvey and Cedric The Entertainer,but not as vulgar as Bernie Mac.He is probably my second favorite on here.Cedric The Entertainer is next.His routine is divided into two parts,and neither of them are funny.He talks about the same thing that every black comedian has talked about:how black people are different from white people.He is probably the cleanest comic here.He is the reason why I didn't give this five stars.The best example of his work would be 'Starting Line Up'.Bernie Mac closes the show.He talks about why blacks use the "F" word,and why he doesn't like his sister's kids.His routine is definitely the longest,and definitely the most vulgar.His routine will probably offend A LOT of people.He is definitely my favorite.As you can see,this isn't exactly a clean show.There is enough swearing to make Richard Pryor blush.So if you have young children,DO NOT let them come close to this.Otherwise,sit back,pop some popcorn,and watch some good comedy!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Gr8. Not As Good As "Queens" And 2 Long!!!!!!!!!
Review: This movie is full of laughs. Not not as many laughs as "Queens Of Comdey". Queens is better. I love Cedric's joke "Delicious" and Steve Harvey's 1 about how a rap concert has 2 many instructions (examples : "Throw your hands in the air and wave 'em like you just don't care", "Somebody say 'ho!'", "Somebody scream", etc.) This is a gr8 movie and a must own but it is 2 long.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bernie & Ced = Entertainment
Review: True Steve Harvey was hosting...but he didn't do too much of a good job....DL was good when he was roasting the audience[hilarious!].......but Cedric the entertainer....lived up to his name!!! Bernie......truly knows what he's talkin about.... coz i've always wanted to beat a child up too!!! ;-) [jokes is jokes!]......u the man bernie!
