Marlon Wayans: God Loves Me

This was disappointing... the entire 59 min special is about one event, one issue, one moment that is NOT about Marlon.

After 20 minutes of the same joke, it felt about time to move onto a second topic, another event, another laughable moment. But, like farmer Jack with Daisy his prized cow, the joke is milked until every last drop is out. Even though you might've been tired of milk (the joke) after 20 minutes, here comes some more.

Admittedly, there are some laughable moments. A few funny events/scenarios, a few expressions that make the special watchable. But, it needs more variety!

References to legacy Waynes shows are always welcomed, but at moments it felt like the references were aimed at creating a platform for guaranteed applause, adulation or appreciation.

Marlon is a great comedian, great expressionist, great at generating moments to smile and reflect, but... how shine was a little low here, and hidden behind stories of someone else's trauma. But...... have a look and decide for yourself.

OMG... An entire show about the Will Smith vs. Chris Rock slap just isn't funny!

What a waste of talent, his last special was so good, energetic, funny and brutally honest, I was just expecting so much more. It feels like one joke that gets spun out so thin, it's bound to fall apart. For me that happened about 10 minutes in. Maybe the energy of his preparation for the Richard Pryor biopic was channeled in his previous special and I just expected too much. We'll have to wait for his next special to get the answer...

Although Will Smith gave us some great entertainment, he's doesn't deserve an hour long redemption special, because he couldn't take a joke about his bald wife being a great cast for the next GI Jane movie!

Marlon is still a great guy with tons of energy. That's why I still gave it a D minus/4 stars review, but as a fan of stand up comedy my advice is to skip this set!!

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 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!
