The Original Kings of Comedy (2000)

Its Comedy Central The Movie!

[1/10 · 20 August 2000]

Why is this a movie? This is nothing but 4 episodes of standup from comedy central cable tv. And 4 BAD episodes at that. Steve Harvey is about the only one of the 4 that could even begin to be considered a king of comedy, let alone an original king. I had not seen trailers or lists of performers and had only heard the title when i was subjected to this "film". I assumed with a name like "Original Kings of Comedy" it would have actual comedy genius like George Carlin, etc.... I mean come on, D.L. Hughley? How is he a king of comedy???, he had a tv show for about 2 episodes before it was canceled and thats it. If you want to see standup just sit at home and watch comedy central, its better and doesnt cost you $8.50. I give this "film" my lowest rating for being nothing but a long tv show and a fairly untalented and unfunny one at that.

Life (I) (1999)

A worthless "comedy"

[1/10 · 1 September 1999]

"Life" was not only predictable with its overused jokes about prisons, but it couldnt even make them funny. Eddie Murphy just isn't that funny of an actor anyways, plus the writing was horrible. I suggest that instead of spending time watching this movie you spend it doing something more meaning full, like watching the grass grow.

Homeboys in Outer Space (1996–1997)

Total Garbage

[31 May 1999]

This show is total garbage. A 1 hour special on the history of grass would be more interesting. The show is one of the worst shows that UPN's 7 year old producers have developed.
