i don't understand this guys attraction why do people go to his movies. he's taking over nba all star weekend . is he supposed to be funny? he seems childish and annoying. don't remember a guy who was supposed to be funny not be funny since dane cook. please explain i don't get it. george carlin, richard pryor, chris rock, jerry seinfeld, andrew dice clay, kevin meaney, stephen lynch, those guys are funny.

He's a funny, non-threatening black comic. The key to it is non threatening. There are a lot of black comics that are far funnier, but they're street guys, so it's not enjoyable to milk toast whites. Patrice O'Neal was like that, a comedic beast, but he was too much of a curmudgeon that it took a longtime to break through.

the talent pool is a little thin right now. there are no powerhouses... richard pryor, eddie murphy, chris rock...

kevin hart is a solid comedy central guy, but he's not a top tier dude. It's like that in music too... bruno mars, then, who... there aren't any Michael Jacksons out there right now.

I never really understood his appeal. He's a typical comedian, nothing special

Marty Champions · « **Reply #4 on:** February 15, 2014, 02:51:48 PM »

that dude is ripped and jacked but short and lame and unfunny

now if he was some short blubbery fat dude making those same lame jokes he might even be halfway funny

Kevin Hart is very funny but I think he is getting over exposed. Too much of a good thing. A little bit of Kevin Hart's act goes a long way. I like him and I found myself wishing he would shut up at the celebrity game.

For the record I think Patrice O'Neal was one of the funniest comedians of all time. I saw him live once and I was cracking up the whole time. Most of my white counterparts weren't digging him too much which I found very disappointing. I'm pissed that he passed away. That shit he did on the radio "Black Phil", fucking hilarious.

He has the kind of act that when he's over exposed, he's very annoying. He's now very annoying.

Thanks, I knew it looked a bit wrong as I was typing it.

Kevin Hart is decent, for instance, his stuff on Def Comedy Jam was better to me than some of his recent stuff -

.

But then you compare it to someone like Charlie Barnett, that never really got his due, and well -

.

Hart's current movie 'Ride Along' had a $25M budget and has made so far $110M US Gross, not to mention overseas gross.
THIS despite the fact that there are so many big budget movies these days that barely even break even.

Bringing in money to investors is all that matters.. be it movie, tv, comedy album investors etc.....

I watched the NBA celeb game last night and this clown didn't say one single funny thing. The only funny thing he was involved in was watching his midget ass try to play basketball. Must be some sort of affirmative action thing. Was there a non-funny black comedian quota we needed filled or something?

i imagine this is his "a" material. pretty lame much like dane cook he relies on making loud noises flapping his arms around stage and acting like we should think he's funny. eddie murphy he's not.

Kevin Hart wore the dress and submitted to playing the part of "pool boy" for some very higher up Hollywood Hierarchy members. This little midget supposedly will do anything and everything.

These Harts were funnier

Once that's answered, explain Zach Galifianakis's prominence in films to me. He's the king of trying too hard.

That's why I said in films. The stand-up/improv medium and the big screen are two different worlds. He does well in one. He falls flat as a pancake in the other. That movie with Robert Downey Jr. was just painful to watch.

hart pretty much sucks in all media, much like tracey morgan, that being said george carlin great comedian one bad routine in career yet his tv show sucked rotten eggs. pryor great comedian funny in most movies .murphy both till lately[last 15 years. diceman on tv blows if he don't curse not very funny, unlike seinfeld.

He's a very funny guy to me.

Do not put him in the same sentence as Dane Cook. There are so many shit comics out there. Hart is genuinly funny.

Got that self deprecating humour I like.

i guess he must be the voice of a new generation that doesn't like to have to think too hard to be entertained. Why do they call it ovaltine the container round the cup is round. they should just call it rountine.
