Kevin Hart: Seriously Funny (2010 TV Special)

Non-stop comedy that will leave you breathless

[10/10 · 28 October 2010]

Kevin Hart has delivered a solid, polished set of comedy in this DVD offering from codeblack entertainment. From the beginning of his act, he endears himself to his audience through a series of admissions to inadequacies as a parent, a spouse, a fighter and lover. Everyone in the audience could identify with him, as the material was fresh and very relevant.And, all of the things he rants about, happens to all of us in one way or the other. Many comedians use the family unit and it's idiosyncrasies as a vehicle for their guffaws, but few have implemented this tool with such finesse and relentlessness. Kevin mentions his uncle who'd spent fifteen years in prison and was institutionalized to the point that everything he talked about came from a prison mentality-barking at kevin to 'say it with yer chest' ( or add some bass to your voice) and calling on kev to jump in and whoop someone's butt in a bar as if he were ordering a gang hit. the delivery was razor sharp, and the familiarity of the subject rang true. excessively funny. Kevin goes on to bash on his wife for spoiling his gangsta-style intimidation moves in public. He relates that even if he were a passive person and not violent at all, that was THEIR business. in this spiel, kev threatens to go 'pop the trunk' and retrieve a gun and 'shoot this s**t up' while his wife says 'what are you going to get out of the trunk, the carseat?'. What guy hasn't had some version of that play itself out in their lives? relevant. Sharp. Hilarious. The Entire set is non-stop, no dead spots, no long build up or time consuming segues, right to the point, right to the giggly jugular joke after joke. His impersonations of crying women, of his kids, other guys-all believable and magnetic. Kev's facial expressions are a mighty tool that he uses to pry away any defenses we might have and makes it impossible not to laugh. Too good to miss, I would recommend this DVD to anyone who needs a good long laugh.
