Sure. A lot of finding his stuff funny comes from identifying with what he's talking about. This is pretty much the rule with a lot of comedy based on culture.
If you take anything seriously from a comedy show I don't know what to tell you though.
eh maybe, but like mm said, it's possible to not find him humorous without being some sort of offended, elitist WASP.

Racial comedy doesn't bother me. I just don't find Lopez funny. He has fairly good material, I just don't laugh at it. Dane Cook, on the other hand, is unfunny because he just sucks.
Sorry, Dane fans. I had to throw that in there for comparison and for my own personal amusement.
Exactly. Couldn't have said it better myself.
Lopez is hit or miss with lots of his stuff. I find his face reactions hillarious more than anything. He overdoes the white people things, and his voice doesn't really sound like a white person lol.
If he stuck with more hispanic stereotypes and stories, it would be a lot funnier. The show wasn't bad.
He is funny, not super hilarious every moment funny but he is funny.
I thought his first special was way funnier than this last one. The first one had me cracking up from start to end and this one had me kinda like, hurry up to the next joke.
+1 I think he goes a little overboard with that as well.
The whole first segment with Sontomayor, I thought, was pretty stupid. Who cares if the "white people" or Republican voted against her. It wasn't because she's Latina, which he was inferring. It's due to her politics, which is understandable. A Conservative won't vote for a Liberal, and a Liberal won't vote for a Conservative. It just so happens that Lopez is a Democrat so he tries to make a big deal. I didn't hear him complaining when the Democrats were trying to block Alberto Gonzalez's nomination. Just saying.
George Lopez used to be funny.... befire he became so militant. F#$k that Puto!
I'm not white or butthurt. I think some of his topics are funny, others are not. I think his success is admirable and I'm sure he has worked his ass off for it. I agree 100% that a comedy show is not the place to look for anything serious. I suppose I'm just a bit disappointed that a man with his following doesn't have a problem raking in millions of dollars by spreading false and very inflammatory information. I think it's a bit naive to believe that there aren't huge numbers of people admiring him and perpetuating that kind of thought (i.e. "they want to send us back"); just because we see our political parties and leaders do it everyday doesn't make it okay. The cultural/stereotype comedy is funny as , the political misinformation is not funny to me. I don't believe that George has any responsibility to be a role model or teacher to anyone, but I look forward to the day that he can knock the money grubbing chip off of his shoulder, and use his position and clout to help make real advances for the people who so greatly admire him. He could still be funny.
it was ok. I wasn't offended or anything and have no problems with racial comedy
some parts were funnier than others
It was a comedy show. Comedy. Why the you're taking any of it seriously at all I have no idea.I'm not white or butthurt. I think some of his topics are funny, others are not.

You're right though. Lopez should actually do something for the community.
Oh wait.

i think the only thing funny is that he can bug his eyes out for such a long period of time, but hey........dane cook has an audience as well.
I'm not taking any of his stuff seriously. I just hope others aren't either. But I have my doubts.
I liked it, except for all the sex stuff. I liked all the other stuff though. Love that is was in SA too, sold out AT&T.
ADM!
MMLV!-(Those aren't roman numerals)
He's was nervous in the beginning, I was watching his hands in the beginning when he was trying to make the number 1 and 2 with his fingers. They were shaking as well as the microphone, you can watch it in the beginning. His voice was also cracking too lol, a lot of pressure selling out in a down economy. It got better towards the later parts because he was more relaxed.
The 2nd half was the funniest, the only joke I can really remember from the first part is the "El Negro" "I smell Koolaid!"
I LOL'd..................... he said Obama was hispanic because he lives in a house that isnt his............he can get shot by walking out the front door...........his mother inlaw watches all his kids.............and he settles disputes with a group of people while drinking beer. That was funny!!!!!
What exactly is so funny about a racist mexican?
So is Palin, because she has an infant son and and infant grandkid.
I dunno, but the mexicans in SA love it.
I find him about a half a notch better than Mencia...
He's alright as a comedian. I personally find Gabriel Iglesias and Dave chapelle funnier.
I laughed my ass off and I am white
The only proble I had was WTF did the ATT Center not have the scoreboard down with video running. We were up at top of the center and that litle video behind the stage was not even visable to us. If you could see that screen, then you did not even need it. Half of George's comedy is looking at his hilarious facial expressions and from 12,000 ft above the stage, all we can see is a man in a suit. When we saw him at the Toyota Center, they had the scoreboard down with video on all 4 sides so it was 10 times better.
I've never been to an arena show of any kind (concert, comedy, circus type, etc) that had the scordboard showing video outside of a sporting event. I'd imagine it'd be too bright and a distraction when the arena is kept so dark. That said, Robin Williams had two massive screens to his sides... most concerts bring their own screens (Coldplay had screens throughout the arena in little spheres/balls - that was cool). Afterall, Kayne's screen was like 8 stories tall last year...I laughed my ass off and I am white

That's why you gotta drop the money to get great seats for a show like this, but that said, the screen he had was quite small for such a large arena.
I paid $75 a ticket and that was the best seats that were available when I got them 3 wks ago. So for that kind of jack, they should have accomodated those of us in the nosebleed section.
Mas puto!!!!!!!
