Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This video is Sam Kinison just the way you remember him! This is the original uncensored 1987 TV special that made Sam a comedy legend! No other comedian can compare to the raw, unrestrained humor that seemed natural to this ex-reverend turned joke slinger. Nothing is sacred. No topic taboo. Viewer discretion is advised due to mature nature of the material in this video.

3.0 out of 5 stars 'Comedy's Wild Thing' in his classic 1987 TV special, October 6, 2008
By Annie Van Auken (Planet Earth) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
SAM KINISON: BREAKING THE RULES is a low quality transfer of one of Kinison's classic stand-up routines. Recorded in SLP mode, the copy I viewed had iffy tracking and a degraded picture. Kinison himself was in top form, however.

An intro from Sam's mom opens the program, along with a 1975 film clip of the former Pentecostal preacher in full swing.

His XXX rated stand-up routine begins with a reference to Iran-Contra. The subjects Sam covers include adultery and revenge, also truth vs. lies. During some positively blasphemous Jesus jokes, Kinison displays his former Evangelical style. After a segue to "Pat Robertson for President," Sam closes this section with the resurrected Jesus trying to explain to an accusing wife why he was gone all weekend.

Next are mysogynistic jabs at "heartbreakers" and female weight gain after marriage. During his relationship advice for men, Sam pauses to introduce audience member Hugh Hefner. His raunchiest material (pleasing a woman orally) follows. After a warning that what came next was "the bottom," Kinison launches into AIDS humor and some spirited gay bashing.

The set closes with Sam playing the piano and doing an original "song." He dashes off, exits the stage door, hops into a black Corvette with the license plate EXREV, and zooms away into the night.


SAM KINISON - BREAKING THE RULES is also available on DVD.
