Rating: - Once upon a time
The Diceman WAS once upon a time the most outragous comedian I have ever experienced. I watched this particular video once and could not laugh from the shock....then in the last few minutes of racist humour he gave his hand away and made us all aware that the "Diceman" is a characture for the modern day. It is in fact a persona that even Andrew could not keep! This is perhaps the greatest stand-up video of all time when you understand the cartoon! Too bad he could not expand or stay in character ...

Yes, I'm aware of the incredibly inane pun that I constructed as a preamble to this review, but I am immediately cleared of any litigious action as a result of what the review entails. In the pith of my sprightly youth, I can recollect a certain foul mouth cigarette smoking comedian clad in a black leather jacket whose invective laced stand-up material frequently incited long durations of unmitigated laughter betwixt me and a small coterie of friends (we had to clandestinely listen to his material because ...

Rating:  - a very silly fellow...
One of my friends absolutely adored Dice Clay once upon a time. I remember well the forced smile that I would wear as "Little Miss Tuffet" was played for the fiftieth time in as many minutes.

I no longer stand on the ceremony of a forced smile when I hear this silly little man's worn out antics.
It's not that I feel very strongly about the guy, it's just worth pointing out that he ... Read More

I--both wittingly and unwittingly--have watched about 4 Andrew Dice Clay standup videos. This 1989 HBO comedy special filmed live in Philadelphia before a rowdy crowd of mullet-wearing jokels is his best, which isn't to say it's without its flaws.
Andrew Clay Silverstein (Dice's real name) rose to the top of the comedy heap by telling hilariously tasteless jokes on women, sex, and--of course--dirty nursery rhymes. While he wasn't the best comic of the 1980s comedy boom (Sam Kinison, Eddie Murphy, ... Read More
Rating:  - Excellent, though a bit dated!
I had not seen this DICEMAN video since the time it was on HBO! The fact that I remembered most of it shows how wild it was back in 1989! Sadly, many of the things that seemed funny back in those days would get most people fired from their jobs, sued, and blacklisted even if they told these jokes at a company party. Not surprisingly, DICE was sued and blacklisted by the National Organization for Women, which made a point of boycotting his shows and harassing any sponsors and advertisers of DICE. Thanks to the NOW ... Read More
