NOT FUNNY!
7 August 2002
I love standiup comedy. I liked Lawrence when he was doing stand-up and I liked him in early "Martin" episodes.

Martin is no doubt a very funny guy, so I was ready to laugh when I went to see "RUNTELDAT."

LAUGH is something I never did. I sat, and I sat, and I sat... quietly waiting for his act to turn funny... but it never did. I will admit I smiled a few times, but I never laughed. And it is not hard to make me laugh.

Actually, I didn't hear anyone in the theater laugh either. Finally, I thought to myself... I'll give this about 10 more minutes and I'm walking. I walked.... I could suffer through it no more.

It seemed like a fourth grader wrote his material. If he could lose the language, he'd have an act that the Nikelodeon crowd would go nuts over.

I wanted Lawrence to make me me laugh, not tell me a story about how bad he's had it or how low he has been. A good portion of his material was just a big f--k you to everyone that has been mean to him. It was more like watching a therapy session than watching a comedy routine.

If you are looking to laugh, go to Blockbuster and rent Jamie Foxx's new DVD "I Might Need Security."

It's funny as hell and you won't be disappointed.
