    Great Expectations

    We had those great expectations, no doubt about it, when we first sat down admiring the greatness of the Griffin comedy, and to be honest, we received nothing less than we should have. Forget about bitter racism, forget about those inside jokes than bothered a couple of people, this was Eddie Griffin at his very best.

    The whole acting, from start to finish, his gestures accompanying his comments, were flawless, very well thought out and very well delivered. I can think of a small number of other places, where you can find such good, diverse comedy. And for that, Eddie Griffin, will always be a special act, will always be drawing attention to himself.

    A good way to brighten your day (or your night), a good way to get away from those boring comedy acts, with those overused jokes, being sold to you time and time again.

    • Quotes

      Eddie Griffin: We live in a three dimensional plane. Life is on the third planet from the sun not the second. Ain't nobody lying on a piece of paper looking at each other.

      Eddie Griffin: There's only three major elements. Air, land, which is your flesh and water, which is your blood. You're walking on a third of yourself. She's called Mother Earth. She gave birth to your ass. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, your maggot food ass going right back to her!

      Eddie Griffin: The war is really about religion. The war's between Jesus and Muhammad. The Christians say Jesus is the messenger. Muslims say Muhammad is the messenger. Who gives a expletive who the messenger is did you get the message?

      Eddie Griffin: I believe God wrote the Word in your essence. That's the genius of my Father. You are born knowing right from wrong. You don't need a book to tell you that!

      Eddie Griffin: You know how we built the pyramids? You gotta ask yourself a question always flip the script. What if up was down and down was up? What if you looked down into space standing up on Earth? This is how we built the pyramids.
