Carlin returns to the stage in his 13th live comedy stand-up special, performed at the Beacon Theatre in New York City for HBO®. His spot-on observations on the deterioration of human behavior include Americans’ obsession with their two favorite addictions - shopping and eating; his creative idea for The All-Suicide Channel, a new reality TV network; and the glorious rebirth of the planet to its original pristine condition - once the fires and floods destroy life as we know it.

George Carlin celebrates 40 years of comedy and here, he presents 2 new standup bits, comedian Jon Stewart gives an interview with him, and we look at his old comedy work through the last 4 decades.
One of Hicks's most famous quotes was delivered during a gig in Chicago - known s the "Infamous Bill Looses it in Chicago" show - in 1989 (later released as the bootleg I'm Sorry, Folks). After a heckler repeatedly shouted "Free Bird", Hicks screamed that "Hitler had the right idea, he was just an underachiever!" Hicks followed this remark with a misanthropic tirade calling for unbiased genocide against the whole of humanity.
Película basada en la vida del cómico Rudy Ray Moore, quien a menudo incluía en sus monólogos rimas bastante explícitas sobre distintos asuntos sexuales como las prostitutas, los proxenetas y los gigolós. Estas rimas las hacía siempre con ritmo y rapeando, lo que le valió el apodo de "padrino del rap", por el cual se le conoció hasta el fin de sus días. Moore llegó a lo más alto en los años 70, cuando sus grabaciones poco conocidas empezaron a hacerse populares entre la comunidad negra. El rapero aprovechó esos beneficios para hacer una película de gran éxito llamada Dolemite, centrada en un proxeneta con un harén de prostitutas expertas en el arte del kung-fu.
Un "roast" es una tradición estadounidense, una fiesta en que amigos del homenajeado se turnan para ponerle verde y llamarle de todo... luego, como la cosa no deja de ser una fiesta, el invitado tiene turno de réplica. Comedy Central lleva años explotando este formato con estrellas caídas en desgracia que se prestan al juego, y el equipo mezcla comediantes habituales con invitados especiales que sí conocen al homenajeado. Este es el especial dedicado a Justin Bieber.
Después de enterarse de que su empresa los ha estado espiando, recopilando y vendiendo datos de forma ilícita, tres amigos milenarios se unen para luchar contra un jefe lascivo y el director general maníaco y obsesionado con Tarzán.
La historia ambientada en el mundo de los comediantes de standup (los monologuistas), y concretamente en George Simmons, un famoso cómico que descubre de repente que le queda poco tiempo de vida.

El comediante mexicano Franco Escamilla saca sus chistes de las experiencias de la vida real y está dispuesto a hacer cualquier cosa por el nuevo material. Él no tiene miedo de hacer generalizaciones sobre cómo los hombres se bañan. Pero tiene miedo de hablar con extraños. Especialmente en los funerales.
In front of a live audience at the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium at the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts in Raleigh, North Carolina, the Emmy-nominated host of Real Time with Bill Maher performs an all-new hour of stand-up comedy. Among the topics Bill discusses in his ninth HBO solo special are: Whether the "Great Recession" is really over; the fake patriotism of the right wing; what goes on in the mind of a terrorist; why Obama needs a posse instead of the secret service; the drug war; Michael Jackson; getting out of Iraq and Afghanistan; racism; the Teabagger movement; religion; the health-care fight; why Gov. Mark Sanford will come out looking good, and how silly it is to ask "Why do men cheat?"; and why comedy most definitely didn't die when George Bush left office.

Long before Timothy Leary urged a generation to "tune in, turn on and drop out," lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD, was being used by researchers trying to understand the human mind. This documentary is a fascinating look at the story of "acid" before it hit the streets. Featuring interviews with many LSD pioneers, Hofmann's Potion is much more than a simple chronicle of the drug's early days. With thoughtful interviews, beautiful music and stunning cinematography, it is an invitation to look at LSD, and our world, with a more open, compassionate mind.
