User Reviews

This guy is so not funny..yet he made $125 million last year...

What is wrong with mainstream America? Who watches this lame material? This embarrasses me. This guy has never been funny in his LIFE. What simpletons think this is funny???? His comedy is an insult to our intelligence not to mention condescending to black folks... Why, oh why does he feel compelled to "self tag" everything he writes too???? What is that all about??? Would anyone with any sense of self confidence self esteem or A SLIVER OF HUMILITY need to do that??? By the way, I wouldn't want anyone to know I had anything to do with this stuff... And who does he have non-flattering pictures of that keep signing him to T.V. and movie contracts? The overall rating for this series is a "1"????? And all the African Americans that praise this guy, be careful..Is this the best the black community has to offer? No it isn't. No way. This guy dumbs down all who watch this stuff. I cant help he came from humble beginnings..so did I.. but that doesn't mean I can write movies??? Unorignal, Unfunny, Unflattering and did I mention Unfunny??? Mind Boggling..but then, maybe he's just so simple that he's over my head....
