Eddie Griffin

So what if his most persistent gag is an imitation of Michael Jackson in the throes of a crack binge, or if his most memorable film cameos are in such stinkers as Norbit, Deuce Bigalow, and Undercover Brother? Eddie Griffin is funny—really. As a stand-up comedian, he’s perfected his imperfect act, which tends quite heavily toward the tasteless. If you’re offended by raunchy humor, vulgar humor, or humor that revolves around kicking women in the ass, you might want to steer clear of this bawdy act, but if you’re looking for laughter from the gut and ample opportunities to drop a well-placed “Oh no he didn’t,” Griffin’s got you covered. His latest release is You Can Tell Them I Said It, a Comedy Central DVD release documenting his stand-up.
