The funniest man in the world
I became a big fan of Chris Rock's back since college, after downloading his stand-up material off Napster. I liked his work so much that I brought it to our apartment in LB, and soon enough Oliver was mouthing off the lines from Rock's now-(in)famous
Niggas vs. Black People stand-up act.
Niggas always want some credit for some shit they supposed to do. For some shit they just supposed to do: A nigga will brag about some shit a normal man just does. A nigga will say some shit like, "I take care of my kids."
You're supposed to, you dumb mothafucka. What are you talkin' about? What are you braggin' about? What kind of ignorant shit is that?
"I ain't never been to jail."
What do you want, a cookie?!?
His words were loud, biting, shocking, funny, controversial, highly intelligent and most importantly, effective, both as social commentary and as stand-up comedy.
Anyway, The Onion AV Club has
a rockin' interview with the funniest man in the world.
