BET's Comicview

Hi the one who hosted the show, I have always thought he was funny. I support his movies and always thought he was a funny guy. But this joke is not, he said if you're 60 you should not be licked and you might taste the medicine and the fat joke. I felt like that was offensive to beautiful women who are 60 and over. There are so many young women who are over weight and trying to change Out there. Just because you have the license to do comedy it doesn't mean you have to be so disgusting and disrespectful. It made me give a thumbs down to the first episode but I'm not going to stop watching comic view because I love a good joke.

Many people who watch this show don't understand it. That's why they don't like it. My mum and my sister hate it. I just love it!! It always makes me laugh. I've been watching it for about two years and the comedians, male and female always seem to make me laugh. Sometimes the jokes are not even funny but do you know what cracks me up? I laugh at the way the audience reacts to them. It is so funny that they laugh at some jokes which make no sense. Also the comedians constantly talk about the subject of sex. I am only 16 years young. These people know how to light up my day. The things they talk about makes me laugh so much! My mother and sister think that I'm crazy! That's the point. They don't understand! I love the hosts of the show too, especially Bruce Bruce and Arnez J! I don't care what anyone else says about this show. It is always funny! I love it! It is the best stand-up comedy show since Def Jam. Everynight I look forward to watching this show. I like to watch it alone so I could laugh as loud as I want. If you're a fan of comedy, you'll love this show!! It will crack you up, trust me.

Comicview is a showcase for African-American comics on the Black Entertainment cable network. Some of the humor can be raunchy, but because BET is a basic cable network, the comedians can't get as raw as they did on HBO's Def Comedy Jam. Each season a new host takes over the MC duties (after having won a contest for the best Comicview comedian of that year), and usually, that person goes on to better things once their stint is over. D.L. Hughley, Steve Harvey, Bernie Mac and Cedric The Entertainer are all now famous comics who have made appearances on this show. Early on, Comicview used to also show an outrageous soap opera called "Ain't Nothin' But A Woman" about Miss Laura (Laura Haynes) who ran a hotel filled with crazy employees and guests, as well as numerous filmed skits that were shown before the commercial breaks. These days, R&B, hip-hop and rap acts appear frequently at the end of the episodes.

When Comicview first came out, about the only regular comedy show to showcase black comedians was Def Comedy Jam. Other than that, you had to settle for Evening at the Improv and the occasional Black comedian that came on. I liked the format with the celebrity judges voting on who was the funniest. Nowadays, its all about the models who are always on the front row and get the camera shots. Another thing that annoys me about the newer episodes is the way the shows are spliced together, like we are not going to notice the same old jokes. I swear the same model chick with the same dress was in 7 episodes. Don't get me wrong, I like beautiful women, but if you need models to get attention and boost ratings, you've got problems with your show.

BET's Comicview is Horrible. It is very rare that you will see a comedian that is funny. I must admit that I don't watch it very often because it is not funny,but when I do see the show it is the same unfunny humor.Most of them do unfunny impressions or sing songs to try to get laughs. It really annoys me when they try to do an impression of a singer. How is that funny??? Tell a joke please.Then you have a lot of comedians that use the phrase "Give it up or show some love for ______". This is the only way they can get any applause, because they are not funny.I don't understand how these comics get booked on the show,but who ever does, it doesn't take much to make them laugh.
