Wanda Sykes - Tongue Untied (2003)

Wanda Sykes

If you like the "F" word then you will like this video. I did not enjoy it myself and will not be buying any more by her. October 6, 2008

Fantastic!

She's awesome! Although I preferred Sick & Tired, this was great too. I definitely recommend Wanda Sykes to anyone who likes a good laugh at life & politics, etc... September 1, 2008

Very Unhappy

I'm not sure what was wrong with this DVD but it wouldn't play at all. I meant to tell the sender and send it back for a refund but I didn't and forgot about it. If you buy a DVD from here, make sure it works when you receive it. May 8, 2008

Love Wanda - but this was a weird DVD

This was obviously a made for television production, and transferred to a DVD minus commercials. Every so often the program is interrupted as if going to a commercial break and then coming back from break. I would've enjoyed this more if it would've flowed like a normal DVD. April 14, 2008

Damn hilarious!

I know some people think her voice is annoying, but I think it just makes her comedy even more funny to listen to. You can tell she's sincere and that this is how she really sees life, and it's usually true. From the government to strippers, she just gets right to the ludicrously hilarious truth. You do wonder if the Pope ever just puts on a bathrobe and a Burger King crown sometimes, you do wonder how Christine Whitman ever got elected as head of the EPA, and you do wonder why people think having a drunk follow you home improves their own drunk driving. But her delivery is at least half of what's funny about it. She reminds me of those friends you had at school or some horrible job who made it all bearable by cracking you up. It's not that she's trying to be funny necessarily, you can just tell this is how she always talks and tells stories.

I actually don't have cable but a friend of mine had the DVD playing at his place and I just about fell over laughing, I went right out and got my own copy. I know she does TV shows and movies, but I rarely enjoy standups as actors. So I can't speak for her as an actor, maybe her shows aren't so great. This show, however, still makes me laugh even after seeing it multiple times.

Also, don't forget that there is a bonus show from when she was Wanda Skyes-Hall, which is just as funny.

If you like tell-it-like-it-is standup comedy without shtick and mugging, Wanda is one of the best. July 29, 2007
