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.

I watched this special with the expectation it will be like all his other specials, a bit bland and lackluster.

Well, my expectations were not met. Marlon delivers a tasteful and hilarious twist to slapgate. Compared to Chris Rocks' special, Marlons takes you on a fun ride into the worlds of all three people involved (Will, Jada, and Chris). Do not be mistaken that this special is all about Marlon throwing a few jokes together for a few laughs, no Marlon is immersed indirectly in the lives of all three individuals.

It's one hour of pure comedy, don't overthink it, The Oscar slap is the talk of the town, a moment in history that will live forever in Oscar Award History. So why not enjoy it now while we still can? Everyone else is doing it, so laugh about it now so you don't have to cry about it later.

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.

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!

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!
