Sam Kinison - Family Entertainment Hour [DVD]

In Sam Kinison's highly un-P.C. "Family Entertainment Hour," he starts by insulting M.C. Hammer (remember him?) and suggests that serial killers target all rappers, then things soar from there. A few dozen F words, coke humor, urinating in a suitcase, swallowing (you know what), blasphemy, Richard Simmons-- it all goes parading rapidly by in a demented stream of consciousness punctuated every so often by Sam's trademark screeches. The finale is Kinison's phone call to an audience member's ex-girlfriend. He loudly abrades her for sleeping with the guy's brother. Maybe the brother was a better lay, Sam.The real question is: what family was Sam trying to entertain here? The Mansons?This is not my preferred brand of stand-up. Maybe it's yours.(Note: Kinison claims on the main feature (as does the included text bio) to finally be clean and sober. Maybe so, however, after that drunken teen plowed headlong into Sam's Grand Am barely a year later and killed him instantly, the autopsy revealed his drug of choice was present in the unfortunate comic's bloodstream. RIP to a most unusual, scatologically verbose proponent of humor's angrier side.)

Some people loved ol' Sam and some people hated him.... Me, personally, I couldn't get enough of him. I am one of those people who is sick to death of hearing how "offended" everyone is, and I am tired of the "politically correct" world. Sam takes you away from all of that and the laughs never stop. NO topic is off limits, from God to death to marriage to homosexuality... Sam has a lineup of jokes and stories for all. From start to finish, this act is so filled with innuendos and so-called "inappropriate" material that it will have you rolling. IF you are a Sam Kinison fan, you must add this to your collection. However, if you are easily offended by profanity and an in-your-face, politically incorrect style of comedy, DO NOT buy it, you WILL NOT like it.

No one kills like Sam Kinison! At his best! Much needed in today’s “have to be politically correct society”!

Irreverent in your face comedy with great heart! Kinison delivers like no other stand-up comedian could! No subject was beyond his scope , no subject beyond his range! Sam delivers rip roaring laughter stand-up that will leave you rolling in the aisles!Highly recommended!

Expensive for an hour dvd. But, gotta love Sam!

Verry funny guy.
