Marlon Wayans: God Loves Me

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.

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 love Marlon Wayans, he's great in TV shows, he's OK in films, but he is AWFUL in stand-up!

I didn't laugh once during this, but I'd laugh every 30 seconds if I was watching an episode of 'The Wayans Bros'.

My God, couldn't he write any material? This was all about Will Smith...and that infamous Oscars incident. It dragged on for way too long. He spent way too much of the set on Will Smith. We're over it now. To be honest, I'd forgotten about the slap, until Marlon mentioned it.

I wish he'd spent a few minutes on Will and then moved on. I would of preferred to hear more about his family, growing up with so many siblings etc.

It just wasn't funny. It was more like an interview on a talk show, where Marlon told anecdotes, than an actual stand-up routine.

Stick to wacky, over-the-top roles in movies and TV shows. That's where you excel.

Look up Marlon, say cheese!

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.

I don't understand where all the hate is coming for this special. This was brilliant. Yes on the surface, haters gonna say it was only about the slap, but it was so much more. First it was actually LOL hilarious every damn minute, and give a very good take away about not being envious and trying to be your best you despite what you think is fair, cause sooner or later you'll realize you're in the best spot you should be.

On the other side, what Chris did in his special was a few chuckles and not address the issue in an appropriate way. Because it wasn't just about the black folks, it was a subject that he could've made a big deal of. About people being so offended about everything, and actually meaning something to balance out between keeping in check wrong doers, without harassing people that didn't deserve it. Anyways that ship had sailed.

Stand up should be funny and should say something, Chris's wasn't funny and while did try to say something, Marlon's special just killed it. Definitely worth the watch!
