I had not seen this DICEMAN video since the time it was on HBO! The fact that I remembered most of it shows how wild it was back in 1989! Sadly, many of the things that seemed funny back in those days would get most people fired from their jobs, sued, and blacklisted even if they told these jokes at a company party. Not surprisingly, DICE was sued and blacklisted by the National Organization for Women, which made a point of boycotting his shows and harassing any sponsors and advertisers of DICE. Thanks to the NOW setting the example, then DICE, Eddie Murphy, and others have been sued and harassed by various other groups when their comedy offended those folks. While DICE must have made a lot of money for the year or two that he was popular, you sure do not hear about him on TV at all, so he was effectively blacklisted. You also will probably never see this video on CABLE TV or any other mass forum. So if you want to see what comedy was before it became politically correct thanks to lawsuits and censorship, then you should buy this video. DICE was probably the last comedian who was truly a Neanderthal!

It's "No holds Barred", jackas

This is such a funny performance, see it, you are missing out if you don't!

The Diceman WAS once upon a time the most outragous comedian I have ever experienced. I watched this particular video once and could not laugh from the shock....then in the last few minutes of racist humour he gave his hand away and made us all aware that the "Diceman" is a characture for the modern day. It is in fact a persona that even Andrew could not keep! This is perhaps the greatest stand-up video of all time when you understand the cartoon! Too bad he could not expand or stay in character for the long run!

This is a replacement for my original tape that is wore slap out. Dice at his best. He's rude, crude and side splitting funny. You'll laugh your ass off.

Saw this again while over at a friends house. He must be the last person in this country to not have followed the digital revolution. Its still as funny and offensive as ever but what I would have enjoyed even more would be a DVD release of this. As of now all of Andrew "Dice" Clay's material has all been released onto DVD with the notable exception of "The Dice Man Cometh". What I can not figure out is why after al this time (22 years) is this release not on DVD? Its nuts, its insane but you would think by now after all this time some one would have asked the question, sweet mother of GOD, what the Hell is the hold up? Its about fricking time that somebody get their collective act together and to release this show on DVD immediately if not sooner. maybe no one has hasn't even noticed but I for one would like to see a DVD release before I see a Blu-ray issue release of this show. So does anybody out there have a clue as to why Andrew "Dice" Clay's arguably funniest release, The DIce Man Cometh has a yet to see the light of day on DVD yet?

Well, I enjoy raunchy, in your face humor, and remembered some "Dice", vaguely , and got a vhs copy, and watched and chuckled for about 20 minutes, but then, he blew it!
SEE....... real humor is directed UPWARDS towards the elite. That's where TRUTH is. It's only funny if it's True! you know, we can laugh at Hitler, Palin, Bush, .....but when the Diceman began putting down homeless , poor people, the UNDERDOGS in society.....he BLEW it! Maybe that's why he is not BIG anymore. You know, ...right-wing "humor" is just not funny!
The best humor pokes fun of the absurdities of life, the a-holes, the phoneys, the elite and powerful bass-turds , because humor is always based on truth! cosmic truth. But kicking the underdog, just is not funny. not that I'm against completely out of line trash -talk and funny haha stuff, like Carlin, or any other observers like Seinfeld, or even Michael Richards,and that's another story, and I excuse him for that , but......to attack the underdog is not just wrong, it's just plain NOT FUNNY! Othewrwise this video is very funny, in its own way , and is filmed well, and it IS Dice , and that's his shtick , and so I can't give this video a really bad review, but I think it's tragic, he did not study the history of humor a little bit more, and he could have been a contendah! blah!

i was a fan of this A-HOLE in high school, when my head was up my @ss and i didn't care about anybody or anything but myself!!! everything this jewish madman did to get himself blacklisted he eventually deserved! the only product i still have by him is ford fairlane.

even his shows "bless this house" and "hits" got canned so quickly as to make his wife "trinny" leave him and his own head spin. now he is a vegas late night side-show freak married to a brown chick named maria!

even his vh1 program from 2006 called dice rules only lasted one season and i missed the final episode featuring artie lange because i was a carlos "mind of" mencia fanatic! hell, i still own "those" dvds!

how many people realize this jerk, ripped-off same kinisons persona?
andrew "diceman" clay (aka andrew silverstein) lost his fans do to his never apologize attitude.

I--both wittingly and unwittingly--have watched about 4 Andrew Dice Clay standup videos. This 1989 HBO comedy special filmed live in Philadelphia before a rowdy crowd of mullet-wearing jokels is his best, which isn't to say it's without its flaws.

Andrew Clay Silverstein (Dice's real name) rose to the top of the comedy heap by telling hilariously tasteless jokes on women, sex, and--of course--dirty nursery rhymes. While he wasn't the best comic of the 1980s comedy boom (Sam Kinison, Eddie Murphy, and Jim Carrey were all funnier) Dice is consistently funny when he sticks to these well worn topics. He earned the undying hatred of women's groups everywhere, but he became a millionaire in the process. Needless to say, I don't think you'll quickly climb the corporate ladder by reciting these jokes at work, but they are frequently hilarious.

I demoted Mr. Silverstein 2 stars, however, because this video has its weak spots. The painfully slow 5 minute introductory sketches illustrate that sketch comedy just isn't Dice's thing. Kindly fast forward through it. Furthermore, some of his jokes about African Americans, Asians, and Arabs are just flat out racist. I didn't find myself (or anyone else I was watching it with) laughing.

Anyhoo, for a has-been, Dice is a pretty successful one. He performs at Bally's in Las Vegas and pulls in 7 figures telling the same dirty nursery rhymes that you'll see here. If you want to save yourself the $60+ to purchase a seat at one of his shows (in addition to the cost of going to Vegas), then get this video. Otherwise, enjoy his live show...just don't sit in the front!

DICE HATES EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE. HIS NO HOLES BARRED, CUTT THROAT, STANDUP COMEDY IS FOR ADULTS ONLY. IT CONTAINS BLOW YOUR MIND, XXX COMEDY. A MUST SEE FOR ANYONE WHO ENJOYS A COMEDIAN WHO USES FOUL LANGUAGE, AND SEXUALLY EXPLICIT STORIES
