Jamie foxx broke down why Martin and Chris new stand ups were wack
starts at 14:00


I think it was Bill Simmons that threw the theory out that I loved. Basically said that the more famous the comedians are the more people start kissing their ass and laughing at all of their jokes to the point they start to lose touch with what's truly funny. Kind of the same reason pretty chicks don't have personalities since dudes kiss their ass at whatever they say so they never have to fine tune that shyt.

Martin was always an amazing host, getting the crowd hyped and cutting up people in the crowd (the infamous Big Bird joke comes to mind and roasting the celebs in the balcony etc.), but to me he wasn't that great of a stand up so I'm not surprised that this wasn't good.

:what::what::what:

Straight from the Foxxhole and I might need security were FARRRR from terrible.
Ok, maybe I exgarrated a little. His part about wanting to fukk prince was funny as hell.

But what I meant overall was where does he fit in the realm of black standup comedian/specials. Cant put him in my top 10 because his specials are overall not great.

In no order:
Patrice
Bernie
Eddie
Eddie griffin
Damon wayans
Paul mooney
Pyor
Rock
Chappelle
DL
