Grade: B+ | Genre: Comedy Summary: This is a brilliantly funny stand-up routine by one of the brightest comedic minds performing today. If this disk has a flaw, it's that it closes just when he seems to be kicking it into gear.

He has come to cure all of societies ills unleashed by Janet Jackson's breast. No it's true. The moral decay ripping at the fiber of our society all stems from this nipple as he so eloquently explains. The first half revolves around the Super Bowl special taking brief tangents to touch on other related annoyances. At one point, he talks about watching Britney Spears, N'Sync and Aerosmith performing together saying, "it was so painful I actually took a spoon and shoved it up my own ass. Because if I'm going to hurt that bad, I'm going to do it to myself." He doesn't give you a chance to recover. He just keeps pummeling away at you with his ruthless humorous onslaught. He hits on performers holding their crouch, the genderless Janet Jackson dancers and the mystery of the purpose surrounding the nipple clamp. He slaughters popular music so beautifully it brought tears to my eyes.

His humor works almost entirely through his delivery. He talks very matter of factly with calm and patience supporting his demeanor like a father explaining a math problem to his son. Suddenly, he slams around a curb to erupt in outrage at that perfect moment in the story punctuating it so well.

Thankfully, Black's liberal politics trigger half way through and smoke everything in their path. I could swear that I heard Bill O'Reilly, foaming at the mouth, charging the stage just before security stomped him. Black comments on the insanity of Bush trying to draft bigotry into our constitution. He nailed it when he said people were against gay marriage because they don't know any gay people and that we're scared of what we don't know. "After 911, that is something you are going to fuckin' worry about now. You need a hobby. On the list of things we need to be worried about, gay marriage is on page 6 after 'are we eating too much garlic as a people?'" Preach it brother Lewis.

This is a brilliantly funny stand-up routine by one of the brightest comedic minds performing today. If this disk has a flaw, it's that it closes just when he seems to be kicking it into gear. I suppose most comedy disks float around that 45-minute mark, but couldn't we stretch that a little bit. This is a seriously funny man here and there is always botox should we permanently crease our face from laughing. Come on, we can take it.
