The funniest comedy dvd I have ever seen. I bought a duplicate just in case mine were to get stolen or lost. I bought this dvd and gave it out as gifts to all of my friends.This dvd is hilarious, will cause stomach cramps and so much laughter that you will be tearing.

i 1st recall seeing this live on HBO back in my college days! i so awaited the release f this title on DVD! It is the best mix of stand up and racial humor ever! Eddiee is amazing! i enjoyed this more so than the other recent stuff he has been doing. Get this if u wana crack up laughing!

First off.

To: Eddie Griffin
Thank you for getting up and driving your self to become
a comic/actor. Thank you for writing "VooDoo Child" and
for years of laughter.

I have been searching for years for this DVD or even VHS.
Untill this year I try the hopeless search string and
much to my suprise, what do I find... Wow, it's finally
here. So I jump right in and purchase me a copy.

Can't wait to give this to my wife as a Valentines day
gift. Her and I originally saw it air on HBO and made a
copy of it. Well, the two moves we've had and countless
loaning out of VHS tapes, it disappeared along the way.

Finally it's commited to DVD and finally on the market.

This is my first impression of Eddie Griffin, the very
first thing my wife and I have seen of his and has
watched him grow from it. And to this day, my wife and
I still spit out some of the lines from this show on
occation and quietly giggles about "Laylay's leg".

His resent success has landed him on:
"Men of the square table", I believe a series of
SuperBowl Ads. Funny as L.

We will continue to watch Eddie Griffin grow into
quite a successfull actor like Will Smith, Jamie Foxx,
Tom Cruze & Brad Pitt.

This is a good show to purchase, sit down with the
wife and prepare to crack up. I strongely advise this
to any couple looking for that special box with the
best laughs inside. (Disclaimer):Not for the kiddies!
It's rating is UnRated, enough said...

We're Pulling for ya Eddie.
Congrates to your Continued Success.
And we wish you all the more.

Eddie is a terrific comedian on his day. I don't know why he brought out this drivel (by his standards). Some might enjoy it and I can see how they might. For me however, he did too many weak jokes that I have heard before ad nauseum. He cusses way too much and for no reason at all. Don't get me wrong, I am no prude, and yes, I do enjoy cussing, but I like it to be done in context. Eddie cusses for the sake of it, without being funny. I find it a tad disappointing because he truly is among the top 10 comedians working today.
His other work is far superior to this.

Man i just recieved this dvd... it was funny as hell...Eddie is one of my favourite comedians. if u like afro american stand up... than this is a top quality stand up dvd for u... cop that shit

I'm going to have to disagree with the above review. He has a point but he's all mixed up. if you have seen dysfunctional family and all his other stand up then those will be boring because this was his first big special. I remember watching this is 1997 when it first came out and it is still to this day the performance that is still the funniest that i have ever seen.

I Enjoyed this DVD so much that I had to but another one for my daugher.Eddie Griffin was awesome. Thinking about buying a few for friends....money well spent.

Eddie Griffin is a stone nut and I can watch his comedy all day or all night. I highly recommend this DVD.

This is one of my two favorite comedy Specials (the other is Richard Belzer: Another Lone Nut). This guy is hilarious and you can tell he loves what he does (unlike some who only do it for the money, at one point I thought he he was going to die laughing at his own jokes.)He is very high energy and does a lot of quick impressions.


warning he does some racial humor and swears but mostly in a positive way.

Every time I have company I ask them have they seen it and if they haven't, it never fells, everybody ends up on the floor from laughing.
