Dice

I was never a fan of Andrew Dice Clay, but he definitely made me and a lot of other people laugh guiltily back in the 80's. I had no idea what become of him, but I saw him in the Woody Allen movie, "Blue Jasmin"

and he was a decent dramatic actor, and so too in "Vice" his new semi-autobiographical comedy/dramatic series.

This show has some really riotous moments, and in general is funny through and through ... I'm a fan. Good writing, good character, and good acting ... especially Adrian Brody channeling the Dice from the past ... it's hilarious.

7/10

The resurgence of older comedians/entertainers has been doing a lot lately. Louie and Maron among a few. Like Maron, Dice is a fictionalized version of the stage persona.

The jokes are great. Just the right amount of political incorrectness to not be so offensive, but make someone laugh. He's a wise talking, ego driven, mans-man, with attitude. And he portrays it very well.

Having Vegas as the backdrop is perfect. There are many great celebrity cameos too. Natasha Henstridge plays his girlfriend perfectly. The two have this chemistry that really made me think they are an actual couple. And Kevin Corrigan who plays "Shake" does a great best friend role and accentuates Dices ego perfectly.

It's definitely worth a watch.

Dice is absolute hilarity from start to finish - his unique view of the world around him gets Dice both in and out of ridiculous situations that are mostly of his own making. Dice is a lovable character despite his many faults (brutal honesty being one of them). The show has the feel of one that is at least partially improvised or loosely scripted like Curb Your Enthusiasm yet does not drag. The show is fresh and funny as heck and is the best comedy to come on the air since the Big Bang Theory. Dice is in many ways outlandish, shocking, yet misunderstood (as is the Sheldon character from Big Bang which is what makes him such a compelling character) and the viewer is often left wondering what planet he is from, yet still being able to identify with Dice's wacky sense of right and wrong. Definitely put this show on your watch list.

After watching the first season multiple times, I have come to the conclusion that Dice is one of the best comedies of this year. Andrew Dice Clay has been out of the scene for some time and I think this is the era he will comeback. Every episode is well thought out and brilliant. If you have the right mindset going into it, you will love it from the start. This show has me laughing constantly the whole episode and I am positive it will grab you too. Watch for the little things Dice does, that is what makes this show great. If you have not seen it yet definitely give this show a go. It would be a shame to not give this show what it truly deserves.

Wow! I saw this was coming out and I thought this would be a half- cooked Dice comeback attempt.

Boy was I mistaken! This is so well done. I've watched the entire series over and over and keep finding new jokes.

I'm not sure how this would go with someone who didn't know who Andrew Dice Clay was, but if you are a fan or are at least familiar with his work... stop reading and watch it now!!!
