This is Dice on top of the heap before his fall. What other comedian could sell out Madison Square Garden and have them howling with laughter. The second side is actually funnier as working a nightclub is Dice's forte. The first bit on side two will have you falling out of your chair with laughter. People either love or hate Dice. If you are the former, get ready to bust your gut over this final masterpiece before he went Hollywood.

this disc made me laugh as hard as i did when i first heard it years ago. my wife pretends not to like the diceman, however she was the one who got me tickets to see him this march. he has lost a bit of his edge in real life, thank god for the recordings. the people who hate the diceman are only mad because his observations are so true

Great seller: ice man , well lets just say i should have left it as i remembered him.. not what i'm hearing now...

Dice hit it big with his debut act, which included Mother Goose poems. This was Dice in concert in 1990, riding his newly- found success which hit him around 1988. In my opinion, Dice does a good job on both sides of this album. The second side is funnier, but the first side also has some very strong moments. I like this better than the new CD, "40 Too Long," and "Laughter, Part II." But it lacks the absolute genius of the debut and "Laughter, Part I." It does seem like he's reaching a bit during the first side. But I can't think of any other comedian that could match Dice on a regular basis, album after album, except Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor, and Eddie Murphy.

Yes, Dice is the most obnoxious comedian to ever perform. His jokes often reflect a lot of tasteless topics but that was his act. You either found it funny or you didn't. I found this album to be kind of weak for Dice but the most enjoyable part of the album is that he is performing his raunchy material in front of a sold out crowd in Madison Square Garden. When the whole audience is saying the rhymes with him it is a laugh riot despite their stupidity. The second half is a club performance which has funnier jokes. The song at the end is retarded though. But if you like Dice, you'll like this album.

I remember this album distinctly, because it was one of Dice's first easily found releases, at at time when his records (and comedy records in general) did not sell as much as most comedians wished.

It was also a weak effort, especially in comparison to "Day the Laughter Died", which was a gutsy, comedy tour-de-force. While you can't fault him for being able to pack MSG, comedy is like Industrial music; anything more than 500 people in the room and the effect is jarring. Here, he can't possibly maintain the intimacy he gets from a dingy nightclub (listen to side two to see what I mean), and the bits suffer.

Side one is a mob laughing because the guy next to them is laughing. Side two is people laughing because the material actually works. That's a big difference when it comes to comedy.

I'd actually only recommend this album to people who already own his first two albums + 40 Too Long, but not to first-time dicers. It's far too hit & miss for the uninitiated.

THIS IS THE FUNNIEST COMEDY ALBUM EVER MADE.WHICH COMEDIAN CAN SELL OUT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN! THE DICEMAN CAN. THE SECOND PART OF THIS CD IS HIS BEST MATERIAL TO DATE.A MUST HAVE FOR ANY TRUE MAN.

On this disc, Dice doesn't miss a beat offering his insight and opinions of many subjcts. He takes topics many bury in a closet and thrusts them under the spotlight.Dice essentially says what every guy has wanted to say, multiplied by ten. Raunchy? Sure. But I ask, who has never told a dirty joke? Personally, these jokes are the best I've ever heard. They poke fun at many issues, and they should, because they are jokes. Put simply, this is a disc any true Dice fan must have. While other comics fill only half of a small club, Dice sells out Madison Square Garden.

What chemical landfill were they near concieving this guy

When evolution goes to mutation and the product is of this cut
some morons should just keep their gorilla mouths shut.

Nothing like hearing him with brand new material, doing old and new rhymes, etc. in front of 20,000 screaming laughing people. This gets you going. Dice when he was at his best.
