4.0 out of 5 stars Shaq-Tastic! Quite a Surprise Video, December 1, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Roasting Shaquille O'Neal [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Shaquille O'Neal and a comedy roast? Who would have thought that this would be as funny as it was. Perhaps it's because Shaq is such a natural object of joking, ridicule, good-natured ribbing, whatever you want to call it. As a fan of good roasts -- Dean Martin, Friar's Club -- this video lives up to the time-tested standard. Shaq's good nature and charismatic smile show him to be not only a world-class athlete, but a world-class good sport. The only time he looked a little angry was when Artie Lange made some off-color references to a part of Shaq's anatomy, segueing into a derisive comment about his mother. Nonetheless, the joke was a riot and Shaq seemed to take everything in his Size 22EEE stride.

The question is: Do you need to buy this video? Of course not, but if you love world-class comedy -- from the likes of Jonathan Winters, Gilbert Gottfried, Don Rickles, and Jerry Seinfeld -- then ... well, what do you think?

We all knew Shaq could dunk, rebound, and play ball, but who knew that he could tell a joke or two and be the fodder for such comedic hilarity? Buy it, check it out. It's Shaq-tastic!

I think the idea here had great potential but the execution just wasn't there. They should have focused on finding experienced roasters and not just random black comedians from the last 15 years. Some of the guys bomb so bad that it is worth watching just to see how flat the jokes fall. . . But the best review for this was written by the Sports Guy Bill Simmons a few years ago

I enjoyed the 2nd Shaq roast where Emmitt Smith was the honoree.
