Summary: Chris Rock Rocks!
Review: Being one of the top standup comics in the world, Chris Rock has proven that he is not another Richard Pryor or Eddie Murphy when it comes to raunchy comedy. Unlike those latter comedians, Rock's appeal with urban and suburban America has made him a popular not only due to his previous work on Saturday Night Live, but due to his stint as host of his weekly cable television show, HBO's "The Chris Rock Show."

"The Best of the Chris Rock Show, Volume 2" is another hysterical compilation of incredibly funny skits and jokes that Rock and other talented writers on his show have given television audiences in the past few years. Using fake recreations, commercial spoofs, and the talents of the ultra-funny Wanda Sykes, this collection will have you on the floor laughing.

Some of the funniest skits on this DVD include "Selvina Delvina," featuring Wanda impersonating a possessive singer who only sings about her man and the "Make You Wait Hair Salon" where Wanda and Chris play the owners of a Harlem salon where waiting is a necessity and the service is slow.

Another funny sketch is "Halle Berry 911" where Rock does a William Shatner-type role as host of a reality-based show (spoof of the show "Rescue 911"). The sketch which shows Berry as a menace to drivers was actually inspired by two automobile accidents she was involved in and ran away from the scene of the accident. I don't think the Oscar-winning actress will find this mockery of her driving skills amusing, but Rock sure does a hysterical job. The "Baby 1 Credit" and the comical driving safety sketch are also added bonuses on this DVD.

This DVD, which comes with bonus material of Rock's version of HBO's "Taxicab Confessions" is also great, although most of the material on this disc is the same as Volume 1. Overall, this DVD is one of the best comedy DVDs to come out in a long time. It's much more funnier than his "Pootie Tang" movie and worth every cent. Born with a gift for comedy, Rock is definitely one Saturday Night Live Alum who hasn't lost his touch. This DVD is a must have for anyone into outrageous, mouth dropping comedy sketches. Highly Recommended!

Summary: Chris Rock Show
Review: I had no idea he had a show, and one day I discovered this qand imidiatley bought it because Chris Rock has never disapointed me at all before. For me, his show is a giant letdown. The only times I can remmeber laughing at only the first and last sketches: the one with taking steps forward and backwards, and the 'How to not get your ass beat by the police' film. THose were funny. The rest wasn't even mildly funny.

I guess CHris is only good in some feilds. He's a good guest for a talk show, and his stand up video's are hillarious, but this one stunk. Some of the Taxi Cab Conversations was funny, but only some. If you are wondering what the rest of the dvd has in store, it's highly unoriginal sketches about the "n" word, and "cracker". It seems like him and Dave Chappell are constantly copying eachother.

Don't get me wrong, I loved bigger and blacker, and the one where he runs for president was pretty funny, but unless your a fan of the show, or the Chappell show, then I reccomend that you skip this one.

Summary: More excellence
Review: I simply cannot get enough of Chris Rock. More of a good thing in this DVD. Reasonably priced, along with Vol 1, this is as good as it gets for me, NO CABLE TV!! The Taxi Cab Driver Confessions as bonus material are great by themselves!

Summary: Rock is not too strong for me
Review: I'm sory. I know I should not bring "physical type" into this (although, Chris Rock would be the first to slam the way someone else looks). But, I can't look at him without thinking about mice. He just has that "rodent look." Anyway, when he tells jokes he nervously looks into the camera, as if to say "ain't I funny?" I watched this video because people told me he was so funny and creative and the comedy was so powerful. Well, he's no Richard Pryor. He just doesn't have the edge that Richard Pryor or Eddie Murphy or Martin Lawrence has. Some people from Saturday Night Live are just not eligible to graduate from comedy school.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Funny DVD!!
Review: This 2nd Volume of 'The Best Of The Chris Rock Show' is great!! Once again, Chris covers issues with a sharp wit, so many people could be offended, but he doesn't hold his tongue.The highlight of this DVD is 'Halle Berry 911', which is worth the price of the DVD itself.The low point is the 'Free Bobby Brown' & 'Confederate Flag' skits.Those skits were 'alrght', but nothing special.Overall, this is a cool DVD, and I really like the Halle Berry (& the Taxi Cab Confessions segment!!) skit.Check it out!!
