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!

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!!

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!
