Lewis Black: Red, White & Screwed (2006)

Very Funny

One of the best stand up acts I've seen. It gets funnier every time I watch it. August 29, 2008

Way too funny!

Lewis Black is not for everyone - however, if you like to laugh, this show cannot be beat. He takes everyone to task (Democrats, Republicans, Independents) for the rediculous things done by politicians. He does use some foul language, so if you are easily offended, beware. March 10, 2008

Hilarious comedian who is not afraid of being critical

Lewis Black's politically based HBO special typically results in non-stop laughs. He has a way with words and is not afraid to call things as he sees them. Extremely critical toward the hypocrisy and apparent lack of common sense which is evident in modern American politics (and society in general), he will either make you laugh uncontrollably or curse with anger, depending on what side of the fence you find yourself. There seems to be no issue that Lewis Black will not touch. February 25, 2008

One of my favorites right now!

OMG, Lewis Black has got to be one of the funniest comedians around right now! He tells it like it is, but with his own little twist. If the F word offends you, this isn't the DVD for you, because it is used quite regularly! A good purchase! January 12, 2008

One of the Most Influential Moderate Voices of his Generation

I saw this before and despite having already watched it once I will be buying it soon to watch again. I have been a long time fan of Lewis Black since his older albums where he reamed the stupidity of the left, to the present where he gives the absurd minded right their come uppance as well.

The good of the album is that Lewis is an exceptionally intelligent and funny man with a very good message for those willing to listen. From Clinton to Cheney, from Bush to Kerry, his vitriolic salvos invoke laughter and serious thought time and time again while challenging those on the right and left to question where they stand and who they choose to put faith in (a growing neccesity in the mis-information age).

The bad of the album is really up for interpretation: if you are strongly conservative you will find very little funny unless you lean towards the middle or have a sense of humor about politics. In Mr Blacks defense, his White Album is something quite the opposite, something you might like while strongly liberal folks would disdain his message there, so at least he is fair in choosing his targets. If you are new to Lewis Black he swears using vulgar language alot (I really can't stress "a lot" enough) in the expression of his hilariously angry rhetoric, so if your preference is for a comedian such as Foxworthy or Sinbad who doesn't "work blue" as much then you are looking for someone else.

If you have a good sense of humor, a tolerance for a few (and by few I mean lots of) well placed "dirty words", and aren't overly rigid in your political or theological views then you cannot beat Lewis Black. January 8, 2008
