5.0 out of 5 stars Unsung hero, February 20, 2011

Piccolo "piccollo21" (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Patrice O'Neal - Elephant In The Room (DVD)

This stand up special is rooted in Patrice's unique views on topics we might have heard covered by other comics but not like this. Patrice not only makes every topic his own, he takes you places you may not have wanted to go making you laugh along the way.

He covers race, sexual harassment, cheating, relationships, animals, football all in an hour special that makes you wish he was given two hours. He has a charisma that connects with the audience that most comics (at least the comics on Comedy Central) seem to be lacking.

Patrice is one of the best comics that America has not heard of and not for his lack of talent and comedic ability. Buy this special, see him live, you will not be disappointed.

This review is from: Patrice O'Neal - Elephant In The Room (DVD)

This is by far the funniest comedy DVD I have ever watched. I'm a fan of Patrice from the Opie and Anthony show, so this was an easy purchase, and I am very glad I made it. He touches on almost everything, from politics, to sports, relationships and pets... and it's all hilarious. I can usually watch a comedy special once or twice before it gets old, but I have seen this ten times and enjoyed it every time. Get this DVD and watch it with your girlfriend and find out if she is a trooper!

5.0 out of 5 stars King of the Inappropriate Joke, April 8, 2011

This review is from: Patrice O'Neal - Elephant In The Room (DVD)

I first heard about Patrice O'Neal on the Opie and Anthony show. He's my favorite comedian that they have on the show. When I heard that he had a standup special coming out I had to buy it. I love the fact that he says things that nobody in their right mind would say. Even though I was alone when I first watched the special I still tried to muffle my laughter.

I enjoyed the extras on the DVD as well. That's saying something for me. I usually find them to be tedious and boring. His opening act was hilarious as well. I also liked seeing him heckle audience members (one woman in particular) who just didn't get the joke. She expected him to be nicer. Nice is not even close to anything you should expect when seeing Patrice perform.

If you're a fan of Patrice O'Neal or just a fan of comedy that pushes the boundaries of decency I highly recommend this DVD.
