BET's Comicview is Horrible. It is very rare that you will see a comedian that is funny. I must admit that I don't watch it very often because it is not funny,but when I do see the show it is the same unfunny humor.Most of them do unfunny impressions or sing songs to try to get laughs. It really annoys me when they try to do an impression of a singer. How is that funny??? Tell a joke please.Then you have a lot of comedians that use the phrase "Give it up or show some love for ______". This is the only way they can get any applause, because they are not funny.I don't understand how these comics get booked on the show,but who ever does, it doesn't take much to make them laugh.

Many people who watch this show don't understand it. That's why they don't like it. My mum and my sister hate it. I just love it!! It always makes me laugh. I've been watching it for about two years and the comedians, male and female always seem to make me laugh. Sometimes the jokes are not even funny but do you know what cracks me up? I laugh at the way the audience reacts to them. It is so funny that they laugh at some jokes which make no sense. Also the comedians constantly talk about the subject of sex. I am only 16 years young. These people know how to light up my day. The things they talk about makes me laugh so much! My mother and sister think that I'm crazy! That's the point. They don't understand! I love the hosts of the show too, especially Bruce Bruce and Arnez J! I don't care what anyone else says about this show. It is always funny! I love it! It is the best stand-up comedy show since Def Jam. Everynight I look forward to watching this show. I like to watch it alone so I could laugh as loud as I want. If you're a fan of comedy, you'll love this show!! It will crack you up, trust me.

When Comicview first came out, about the only regular comedy show to showcase black comedians was Def Comedy Jam. Other than that, you had to settle for Evening at the Improv and the occasional Black comedian that came on. I liked the format with the celebrity judges voting on who was the funniest. Nowadays, its all about the models who are always on the front row and get the camera shots. Another thing that annoys me about the newer episodes is the way the shows are spliced together, like we are not going to notice the same old jokes. I swear the same model chick with the same dress was in 7 episodes. Don't get me wrong, I like beautiful women, but if you need models to get attention and boost ratings, you've got problems with your show.

When Comicview began, it was a wonderful showcase of up-and-coming Black comedians strutting their stuff. In the early years, they were clever, quick-witted, and tackled many different issues. It was also a competition. Celebrity judges voted for the winner and the winner had his own 1-hour special.Nowadays, Comicview has become a display of buffoonery and sex talk in poor taste. I am sure that much of Black America is more diverse and sophisticated than this. In an article in a Black magazine, the show's co-host, Reynaldo Rey, admitted that the buffoonery even annoys him, at times. There are some Black people who wish to enjoy "intelligent" comedy. You don't get that on BET. That is because Comicview is primarily targeted for teenagers up to those in their late 20's. At this stage, the target audience welcomes talk of raunchy sex with a hip-hop appeal. That's all! I sometimes tune in hoping to get something other than the sex jokes, but that will be a topic by at least one of the comics during the hour-long program. Much of the comedy isn't funny. However, some of the audience laughs anyway, to relieve the tension of if being unfunny. Many of the comics have been on several times, probably because they are desperate for a gig to earn a buck.Another thing I find obvious, is how the beautiful Black women are overemphasized. Granted, the Black women in the audience are beautiful. However, there is no need to always have the camera on them to draw the attention of your male viewers. A few of these beautiful women sit on benches and seats strategically placed onstage to further accentuate the appeal of the new set. They are there only to look cute. Some may call it exploiting the women in the same way they are exploited in the music videos on the same network.One thing that is very stale is the audience. It is not necessary for the audience members to give a standing ovation to every comedian when he is introduced and another standing ovation after he completes his performance. They do this even though many of them are not familiar with the comics, and whether they were good or not. That is very tiring to have to see every time.One bright thing about this season is the party theme music by Buckwheat Zydeco. That southern flavor is jammin'. Since this season being done in New Orleans, it is totally appropriate.Even though buffoonery and modeling beautiful Black women are the norm, and this makes money for the network, it will continue.
