Hmm...perhaps a bit racist?


Okay, I'm not saying that the subject matter in the movie was racist, just morely the title. Listen, these men are in no way the original kings of comedy. Bernie Mac and D.L. Hugely have not been around long enough to earn this title in any way. I just think it seems racist because of the performers who are supposedly "The Kings of Comedy." Whoever decided to film this was just obviously a fan of black stand-up and slapped the movie with that title. Let's start making a 4-person list of who the REAL kings of comedy were (are). I'm taking suggestions, but I already have 2 down:

1. George Carlin (truely a king of comedy, he's been around since the sixties, maybe even the fifties! How could he NOT be a king of comedy?)
2. Richard Pryor (Okay, I'll let this movie slip by this one, because he's dead, but still...George Carlin excluded from the Kings of comedy? He was still alive!)
3.
4.

Anyway, I'm open to more suggestions.
