Nice

I My was wonderful seeing clips of the greats and having greats give shout outs to other greats. Dave Chappel was funny as hell.

An Honest Review

This hurt, and it hurt bad.

The show in the 90s was hysterical and they were trying, they were hungry, they were some of the funniest people on HBO.

This is, "ego stroking" I believe is what one reviewer called it. It's lame, it's nostalgia without actually trying to be funny again. And that kind of kills memories.

A 1 hour, 21 min ego stroking exercise.

If you're expecting any stand up, walk on. This is just 1 hour, 21 mins of everyone congratulating each other. It's like a roast, where everyone gushes about how amazing everyone else is. I think there was one joke.

Boring

Old men and women having fun by themselves. If you are family you might find this amusing. Or boring. But for the rest of the audience it is plain boring. Old gags. And overall the amusement of dull old men, and women, remembering the good old times when they meant something.

Interesting enough, smart guys like Chris Rock just sent a recording to say hi. Here are just the losers.

Laughable

It's never easy to recreate legendary entertainment of the past, yet the DCJ 25th Anniversary Special left a lot to be desired, and I do mean a lot. Most noticeably absent was the classic, engaged DCJ rowdy audience renowned for encouraging and motivating a comic's act. Rather this production was attended by A-listers and elites who otherwise keep their too-good asses glued to their seats. If you ask me, I found the stale crowd insulting to the loyal fanfare who made it such a successful franchise. Unfortunately, DCJ-25 proved to be more about reminiscing for attendees than the great comedic content we lived for in the 90's. Overall, it was a teleprompter-laden presentation which lacked the LMFAO genius one would expect (given the All-Star talent in attendance).
