You could even see it in the faces of the audience. The faces whose expressions lied somewhere between a pitiful halfhearted grin and a yawn. The laughs are so few and far between its ridiculous. There can be no basis to defend this performance. I loved Jamie Foxx in Living Color and he's turning out to be a pretty fine actor and getting some good roles, but come on. Shamelessly plugging and basing jokes on all of his previous movies?? and making fun of the other actors in them, telling stories about their quirks? Showing off about supposedly 'making it' into the Hollywood inner circle? Supplanting the word f*ck, for every punchline? Whats worse is the handful of jokes that could have really been funny were drawn out way too long when they could have ended sooner. And naturally there's the ubiquitous obsession with smoking weed, for which no standup routine would be complete without. Some of the impressions were funny and he probably should played more of them for laughs, but overall Jamie does way better in situation comedies when he's not being 'himself'.

Foxx's admittedly funny bit on going to Africa is lifted almost verbatim from a Richard Pryor bit -- but Foxx's performance as a whole is strong here.The highlight, for me, is Foxx's assertion that Bill Clinton could have quelled Islamic fundamentalism by introducing Osama bin Laden to the American staples of whores, pot and booze.I was never a fan of Foxx's TV work, but this is worth a look.

I think Jamie Foxx is hilarious and this special really brought out his talent...that last person who commented on it was way too serious about it. It's called comedy for a reason, you uptight jackass. enough said.

I think it was hilarious...the last guy/girl who commented is just way too serious. Maybe you need to watch some dry humor. I have watched many comedians..some made me laugh and some didn't. But everyone isn't trying to make an Oscar performance. It was just a silly stand-up act that came on cable. What more do you want?
