Andrew Dice Clay seems like the last comedian on earth I, a timid conservative, would ever listen to; maybe that's why I became a fan of his during my college days and remain a fan to this day. I had suitemates in my dorm who cursed and told dirty jokes like sailors on shore leave who wouldn't listen to the Dice man's crude humor, yet I think the guy is hilarious. The fact that other people hated him so much made him even more appealing to the rebel in me. I will admit that much of his humor makes me very uncomfortable, but I love it nonetheless. This first album is actually quite inferior to the ones that would follow it, but it introduced the Dice man in full force to the public in all of his (vain)glory. The cigarette gimmick was already perfected, his dirty Mother Goose rhymes had already seeped into the collective unconscious, his no-holds-barred sexually graphic material was honed to a sharp point, his proclivity for interacting with his audience and always having a stinging comeback ready for any smart remark sent his way made him untouchable, and his knack for insulting people of all races, religions, and sexual orientations was legendary. The Dice man told the jokes that were too racy for seemingly fearless comics such as Richard Pryor and Redd Foxx. That's what he did, and he did it better than anybody else ever has. I imagine that, buried beneath the shock and horror displayed outwardly by some individuals accidentally running across material such as this, there is a lot of internal laughter that many refuse to acknowledge to anyone else. You can't take Dice too seriously. He may resort to the worst types of jokes on earth, but he certainly puts on an entertaining show. In this first album, he takes on subjects such as sex, smoking, sex, growing up, sex, race, foreigners, sex, marriage, sex, dating, sex, and sex (to name a few). Needless to say, this is Adults Only material, and I might caution listeners that a little of the Dice attitude may rub off on you temporarily after listening to him. If you are unfamiliar with Dice's unique brand of over-the-top humor, I would recommend you start with Day the Laughter Died as it is actually much funnier than this album.
