Dice

The first two episodes are very funny, full of brilliant moments and dialogue, but truly the third episode is when you get into the show's stride. It eases you into who he is in relationship to others (which is more than just his stand up character) and sets you into place gradually, instead of immediately telling his story and letting the situation be filled in from there. It still has a traditional situation comedy theme to it, but it grows over the course of the season and starts to really play out in terms of interest and laughs.

It has great writing with some of the best social commentary and satire I have seen on TV in years. Dice has a winner with this; even if you are not a fan of his stand up and find him offensive, this show will make you laugh.

I love the cast that Andrew picked out, You people do not know this mans life, He used to do family comedy and was failing but still he was funny, he was actually doing Kids birthday parties as a comedian, Then one day his life changed! Andrew became this man that he knew and talked about when someone said you should be that guy. The rest is history folks! People! Andrew is a genius, He has been constructing this world like a magician, he is an illusionist! This world you see that he created is 100% fake but he actually lives it 100% of the time, Andy Kaufman is the only other comedian that rivals over the Dice man and he died a long time ago, Jim Carey played him in a movie. I am telling you people, watch carefully, Andrew Dice Clay is actually leading you through every story. It is a complete 10! I hope to see you in Boca Raton at the Black Box my birthday month Dice Man.

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.

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.
