A 1 hour, 21 min ego stroking exercise.

If you're expecting any stand up, walk on. This is just 1 hour, 21 mins of everyone congratulating each other. It's like a roast, where everyone gushes about how amazing everyone else is. I think there was one joke.

Laughable

It's never easy to recreate legendary entertainment of the past, yet the DCJ 25th Anniversary Special left a lot to be desired, and I do mean a lot. Most noticeably absent was the classic, engaged DCJ rowdy audience renowned for encouraging and motivating a comic's act. Rather this production was attended by A-listers and elites who otherwise keep their too-good asses glued to their seats. If you ask me, I found the stale crowd insulting to the loyal fanfare who made it such a successful franchise. Unfortunately, DCJ-25 proved to be more about reminiscing for attendees than the great comedic content we lived for in the 90's. Overall, it was a teleprompter-laden presentation which lacked the LMFAO genius one would expect (given the All-Star talent in attendance).

Boring

Old men and women having fun by themselves. If you are family you might find this amusing. Or boring. But for the rest of the audience it is plain boring. Old gags. And overall the amusement of dull old men, and women, remembering the good old times when they meant something.

Interesting enough, smart guys like Chris Rock just sent a recording to say hi. Here are just the losers.

Don't expect Def Comedy Jam

This recording was seemingly put together for all of the legends of Def Comedy Jam to get dressed up and slap each other on the back for times gone by. In terms of pure comedic output, this was poor. If you'd wanted a stand up comedy, go back to the Original DCJ and enjoy. If you want a slightly emotional call back to 80s and 90s black comedy, give it a go. Mind you...nice to Chappelle back on stage in any form.
