An old man seeing the world, yet not funny
ersbel10 August 2017
Cedric the Entertainer is an old man. And so his point of view is about old man fears. Not quite funny. He is a professional. And he has a good act. A professional act. But it takes more to be funny. And usually the audience laughs at the ghetto talk as a cue: this is supposed to be funny.

Directly stolen joke from Patrice O'Neal, and real lazy comedy
backup-5036225 January 2020
But instead of "little white baby on a keychain" he changed it to "little yorkie on a keychain".

He's pandering to an exclusively black audience and trying to relate to them hard, but really trough nothing funny, just low effort generic statements like "black people this, right?", "white people that, right?", "cops killing black kids, obama good, trump bad, right?".

And that's fine, exploit your demographic for cash, but don't steal jokes from the greatest comedian ever just because he's dead. You're like the Brian Regan of black people - the safest, most timid, predictable jokes ever - I liked your singing but the rest was really just okay and I expected something great eventhough it's the first time I've seen you, because that entrance was epic and you seemed pretty likeable at first. But it's just a charade, isn't it. Don't steal your racist jokes from Patrice, he was able to pull them off, you're not.
