Marlon Wayans: God Loves Me

This is a standup unlike anything you have ever seen before. It's actually a documentary about a specific event that happened involving three people, their back stories, reactions from white and black audience with in-depth cultural explanations, historical references that put things into perspective, alternate storylines from multiverse, different variations of reenactments with different ratios of truth:joke, relationship advices, impressions of people that were not involved but somehow help portray mindset of people that were, following the lines of stupid and shallow desires to come to realisation of true desires and needs... all done with just a spoken word with a lot of subjective, introspective and very personal inputs from Marlon Wayans.

Did you people not read the info before watching his performance?

Even in his interviews beforehand, he specifically said he would talk about his three friends lives in correlation to his!

He actually said the reason why he's doing a set about it, is because a comedians theme has to come from somewhere personal, and he said it was personal to him because he has a close relationship with all three of them, Chris, Will and Jada... and he was hurt when he saw "the slap" happen.

Everything he said was laid out in order and ended with the perfect moral to his story. Next time you watch a movie or read a book, please check out the info before-hand and don't diss someone's artwork when you don't even realize what it is about.

Marlon was quick to come up with the most basic material around the infamous slap of Will Smith and Chris Rock. Seems desperate to go on and on for so long with something that had NOTHING to do with him! This should have been a 5 minute joke. He stretched this joke for what seemed like half of the time he was on stage! I am a fan of Marlon's movies and the reruns of the Wayans Brothers show!! However, he is NOT a good standup! I can't recommend this standup special! I will go see his next movie though!

I watched this special with the expectation it will be like all his other specials, a bit bland and lackluster.

Well, my expectations were not met. Marlon delivers a tasteful and hilarious twist to slapgate. Compared to Chris Rocks' special, Marlons takes you on a fun ride into the worlds of all three people involved (Will, Jada, and Chris). Do not be mistaken that this special is all about Marlon throwing a few jokes together for a few laughs, no Marlon is immersed indirectly in the lives of all three individuals.

It's one hour of pure comedy, don't overthink it, The Oscar slap is the talk of the town, a moment in history that will live forever in Oscar Award History. So why not enjoy it now while we still can? Everyone else is doing it, so laugh about it now so you don't have to cry about it later.

I just saw both specials and Marlon Wayans just nailed it in the entire 1 hour show. Maybe Chris Rock should've watched this Marlon Wayans stand-up before doing his special because he just got schooled. Every bit of Wayans' stand up was laugh out loud hilarious, we even had to rewind a bunch of times to re-laugh out loud yelling "oh no he di-int". Sure, maybe he focused on the same issue throughout the entire show, but I'd rather hear that, done much better, than a bunch of nonsense Rock gave us, and only touching on 'the slap' in his last 5 minutes, of which wasn't even near as funny as Wayans. This was comedy gold and probably the most constant laughing I've done watching a stand-up special. A well deserved 9/10 from me.
