5.0 out of 5 stars HILARIOUS!!!!, September 5, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Queens of Comedy [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I've watched this video multiple times both alone and with friends. I've loaned it out to friends, all of whom LOVED it!! If you don't find humor about sex funny, or find skinny women sacred, then this just isn't the video for you. There's no reason to compare it to "The Original Kings of Comedy," too bad the titles are so similar. The humor is totally different. If you're tired of the stale "black people do this" vs. "white people do that" format that's so prominent in the "Kings," try out the "Queens" and get ready for something else instead. Oops, I jumped on the bandwagon and compared the two...but just to say THEY'RE TOTALLY DIFFERENT! Check out the Queens! There's a combination of styles that runs from dry humor to more blatant humor, and from subtle to crude. Enjoy it!

4.0 out of 5 stars hilarious, February 25, 2006

This review is from: Queens of Comedy [VHS] (VHS Tape)

a must for collectors. I hate going to crowded clubs and halls with people who are disrespectful. Sitting at home and watching the queens is the next best thing. I can laugh as loud as I want, for as long as I want and pause it for my own intermission and not miss a thing. I laugh to the point of tears every time I watch it.

5.0 out of 5 stars something to laugh about, February 22, 2006

By	Robin Cherry (Martinsburg WV) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This has to be the funniest stand up comedy act every produced, these ladies just compliment one another, it is 10 times more funny than the kings of comedy...I am really looking forward to a part 2 if they ever consider it. Also the delivery was great I ordered on a sat night standard and on monday afternoon it was at my door step so it was an great overall order!!!
