Editorial Review:
Description: Chris Rock, the three-time Emmy Award-winner, comedian, actor, and host of HBO's acclaimed The Chris Show, stars in his fourth solo stand up special for HBO, Chris Rock: Never Scared. Featuring his unique, insightful, and hilarious views on a host of social, political and, celebrity issues, Rock confirms his stature as the leading comic of our time. Filmed at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., this is a must have for any fan of great comedy.
Amazon.com: Chris Rock: Never Scared is the hot comic's fourth HBO special and proves as disciplined and trenchant as his previous cable concerts. Announcing he's a recent father, Rock proclaims his biggest job is keeping his daughter "off the pole," i.e., steering her away from the life of a stripper. Warming to the theme, Rock asks why so many strippers earn money to pay for expensive tuitions yet he's never received "a smart lap dance." Things turn topical as Rock argues that his government won't solve the murders of rappers. ("More people saw Tupac get shot than watched the last episode of Seinfeld.") After taking broadsides at Michael Jackson ("Ed Bradley tried his best to make Michael look like a mammal!") and David Blaine ("Are we so desperate we fall for a trickless magician?"), Rock builds to a near-lecture (funny, though) on why white America won't let people of color acquire real wealth. --Tom Keogh

Chris Rock is very funny in this video. There is some truth to what he is saying. Not a for young children.

truly a tour de force performance. chris rock is the only comedian today who tells the truth. between laughs he gives you stinging insight into all the hypocrisy of our institutions -- love, racism, government, money. an amazing performance.

Very enjoyable and funny show. Starts slowly by poking fun at usual targets, but once on social/political turf, really shines.
I suspect that folks who gave this show very low ratings prefer earlier, less mature Chris Rock spitting out profanities, but eventually saying nothing of any relevance.
Of course, CR ain't Pryor, but is slowly developing his own style. It is pointless comparing him to classics. Pryor, Bruce...

I loved this dvd and have seen it probably at least ten times. He's raw, and dirty, and sometimes preachy, sometimes racist, but always hilarious. There is so much truth in what he speaks, that he can turn tragedy into comedy. His facial expressions are animated and priceless. If you're easily offended, you'll hate this dvd. He can be loud and screechy and is not for everybody, but he is undeniably a brilliant satirist and comedian. After seeing this, I wanted to see more of his work and watched "Bigger and Blacker". That also made me want to see more. It's an HBO special and HBO delivers some of the best entertainment around. They don't disappoint here. If you love comedy and like your comedy raw, you'll love this Chris Rock special. He's a major talent with a lot to say.
