Patrice has a lot of good stuff on this, but I have to point out one thing. The white guy he picks on for not liking football; that dude was fucking terrified of sitting next to black people. He was pushed as far away from them as he could be and you could see his nervousness in the wide shots of the crowd. I wish Patrice called him out on it or something. It was almost funnier than the set

Certainly not for everybody, but if you're suspend your sensitivity, O'Neal's hour-long stand-up film is an excellent introduction to his improvisatory and antagonistic style. Razor-sharp riffs on race, sex, and gender in this rambunctious sixty minutes.

I watched this very briefly after, and because of O'Neal's performance in Nature Calls, and, while I'd listened to his interview with Marc Maron on WTF, and seen a couple of minor bits of his work (at least one roast on Comedy Central), I hadn't realized how weirdly intense his pain and confusion were. Obviously, he had woman-issues, but, it seems like unlike many of his contemporaries, he was, at least, trying to bridge that gap as he got older.

It's more than a little painful that a fairly early, fairly long section of the routine is about how he is much older than his 40 years because of the way his race ages health-wise, and how he wants to live, though.

I had realized he was a talented comedian, but it was this special that brought home how the world lost a good guy.

Funny, funny guy who was taken way too soon.

Your favourite comic's favourite comic, O'Neal seemed primed for the jump to mainstream stardom when he tragically succumbed to a stroke last November at the tender age of 41. The title of this hilarious special, recorded the previous February, is appropriate, as Patrice was a large fellow. Oh, and also because -in typical style- he spends it saying the unsayable, whether grilling audience members about their sex lives or arguing the case for a national harassment day. RIP to one of the greats - though he may have wasted his "good typing years", he certainly blessed us with some classic comedy.

It was pretty funny.

It's a sad watch now that he's gone but this really is a great special.

LOLed for real ( a lot). Shame to lose such a talent so young.

Rest in peace.
