I was never super crazy about his stand-up, but I loved his show.
I'm not going either, just gonna stay home and eat bananas.
Anyone going? I'm just going to watch it on HBO, but I bet its going to be an awesome show. I love George Lopez and I know if you're Mexican then you probably do too.

Manny, My wife, I and two other couples are going tonight. We are staying tonight on the riverwalk, so after the concert, we will club hop on river and not have to worry about driving.
We saw George in Houston three years ago at the Toyota Center and we laughed our asses off, he was fantastic.
The concert is live on HBO as well.
I will be there briefly as the Terrace Club restaurant will be open and so I need to be at work.
But I am not staying for the show as am moving this weekend and want to get started on that asap.
I was scheduled at both my jobs today and so lost a lot of hours in which I wanted to move my belongings.
My boyfriend and I are going tonight. So cited!
I'll be there! If anybody wants to meet up for a beer at the concession stand before the show begins, and smoke a "cigarette" PM me.
hopefully you can actually hear him this time
Hope that those of you who went like it - I laughed my ass off at most of it.
George Lopez is not funny. Sorry.
I thought the commercials for this newest special were about the dumbest, most placating ads I've ever seen.
But I'm glad you Chicanos enjoyed it.
I'll tell you one thing, all of stereotypical san antonio was out last night. I had no elbow room whats so ever, and somebody must of ate a few burritos before the show. Also there was this woman with this most annoying laugh ever.
I must admit I haven't really watched George Lopez much. The only time I saw him was in The Original Latin Kings of Comedy... and that was AWFUL! as in painful to watch. If he is like that in all his tours, then I wouldn't go to one of his shows if he paid me to.
First couple times I listened to his jokes it was funny....
then I kept watching him... and I started to realize I've heard all of his jokes.... and it wasn't funny anymore.
Did he do an encore? The show was decent I thought... the last half was much funnier than the first I thought.
We went to the Robin Williams show in Austin earlier this year and it might be the best thing I've ever seen in person. His set (including his encore) was 2:15... looked at my watch after the end of it and it was the quickest 2+ hours I've ever experienced. I'm glad I didn't go see Lopez if it was all of that money for one 1:15 set.
He can be funny depending on what the topic is. I like all his grandma material. I get bored with the "they want to send us back to Mexico" bull . He's a legal American
citizen, as I'm sure most of his audience is, so there really isn't an "us". I wouldn't pay money to see him.
I don't find him funny at all. I've seen some of his specials, seen his tv show, and I don't laugh. Either I just don't get it or I have a different palate for comedy. I liked Paul Rodriguez back in the day much more. He was funny.
The dude is a racist but when he doesn't want whitey dead he can be funny.
He's been on a slippery slope ever since his first big standup (I think it was "why you crying?"). All his race related material used to be in good humor but now I don't see how you can't call it racism. And for everyone who says white people are uptight and can't take a joke, it's the complete opposite. No one laughs at themselves more than most white people do when a comedian is going at them (Richard Pryor, Dave Chappelle), the difference is Dave Chappelle's race material is good hearted and has stuff white people can actually relate to (like when he talks about getting high with his friend Kip)
What a terrible special. Everything he said was making fun of white people
I laugh at his TV show - I do enjoy his show, but the end of this HBO special had me going "WTF? This isn't humor it's a political statement!" I did laugh at the grandma/parenting bit..my mom's brothers were forced to learn to swim by being thrown into the bayou!
Lets go Madison, I'm serious.
Yeah, not everybody is going to get his . Even some of the younger Mexican Americans my age don't get some of it. His whole material is meant to the blue collar MA people and those that made into the white collar social ladder that haven't lost their roots. Not everybody grew up eating easy mac and going jogging/ bird watching at Olmos park.
He made of black people too. But he makes fun of Mexicans the most if you hear most of his material throughout the years.
have a laugh and stop being butt hurt all the time.
My problem with him doesn't stem from his white people jokes or of any other race for that matter. My problem with him is I just don't find ANYTHING he does or says funny... at all. Its just excruciatingly bad IMO.
A lot of butt hurt white people in this thread. You guys should probably never step foot in a comedy club if you think that is racist. Racism is huge in stand up. I don't see a problem with it.
