Could you use a good laugh? Watch Chris Rock’s movies, standups, and TV show reruns. For a while, Chris was Mr. HBO. Plus, Everybody Hates Chris was a major hit.

Chris Rock’s brand of comedy is still solid. He always talks about edgy topics. How many times must networks censor his standup material?

You can’t watch Chris Rock on Comedy Central’s TV network unedited. Thank God for freedom of speech. It is vital that comedians represent the whole truth of society.

Although the truth hurts, the pain helps you grow. Ask any tall man and he’ll tell you how hard it is on your knees, legs, and feet. It’s called growing pains for good reason.

Chris Rock grows on you. Like beer, you have to acquire a taste for his comedy. Sometimes, the comic’s jokes leave a bitter taste by design.

The celebrity doesn’t mind failing, and that’s why he’s successful. I admire how Chris has excelled despite being poor. What is more, he makes a handsome profit from his struggles, because he discusses poverty in memorable scenes and sketches.

Have you seen Head of State? If Bernie Mac is the King of Comedy, then Chris Rock is President-Elect. Who can deny his influence?

Plenty of comedians study his every movement. His younger brother/ comic Tony Rock respects his hustle. Indeed, Chris Rock is a certified hustler.

Case in point, CB4 and Pootie Tang came out of nowhere. Making something out of nothing is what this comedic actor does best. The Hollywood idol doesn’t need a giant studio or distributor to create exceptional content.

Like Martin Lawrence and Chris Tucker, Chris Rock is in full effect. Longevity in the comedy world is atypical. Overall, Chris Rock can’t complain too much about his lucrative career. Amazingly, he continues creating relevant content.

In my first semester of undergrad I received all A’s. This hot redhead I hanged with teased, “you’re an overachiever.” I told her I’m only an achiever with 4 different scholarships to maintain.

They say Kevin Hart overachieves too, but he really doesn’t. Like Aziz Ansari, Hart is a scholar of comedy. And he is a rock star.

This comedian made himself into a global brand and universal star. Could he be the first comic to harness solar energy? What does the Let Me Explain comic think about going green?

There’s something bigger and better than money, which drives Kevin Hart into action. Sure, the celeb has a lucrative endorsement with Ford. But like me, what truly drives him is passion.

The Real Husbands of Hollywood celeb achieved a lot. If he’s not on a comedy tour, he’s filming his TV show and movies. Kevin Hart succeeds in the comedy business because he doesn’t quit. Tough competitors outperform others because closing doors ring bells.

After your dreams become reality, what will you do next? Look at the Get Hard and Ride Along actor as a perfect example. Although he could have rested on his laurels, Kevin went on world tours. This man has been everywhere telling everyone his jokes.

I won’t say he makes me laugh harder than Chris Tucker, Tracy Morgan, and Martin Lawrence. I will say he grinds harder than Tony Hawk. Hollywood insiders respect his hustle. Who can challenge the naturally funny man’s supernatural work ethic?

Kevin Hart became a supernova overtime. Early on, he decided Hollywood stardom wasn’t enough. In the process, this superstar built an unrivaled fandom on social media.

What comedian comes close to drawing Kevin Hart’s numbers at shows? He has unmatchable brand/star power. To sum it up, where there’s passion, there’s profit.

The Martin Lawrence effect is larger than comedy. Martin Lawrence transformed entertainment via television, movies, and popular culture. The great comedian is the best of his generation. Furthermore, Martin is one of the greatest entertainers of all time.

Martin remembers where he started and knows how to finish. He entertains the masses as if they’re one person. Everyone enjoys Martin’s sitcom reruns and standup specials.

1st Amendment Standup showcased upcoming comics. Because Lawrence cultivated talent, the comedian indirectly influences the entertainment world. Regardless of your preferences, Martin Lawrence proves he is the man! Starring in movies ranging from Rated G to Rated R, Martin makes everybody laugh.

Comedy needed a message and a higher power made Martin Lawrence a messenger. Over the years I’ve watched Martin mature into a living legend. His comedy special Run Tell Dat rivals Eddie Murphy’s Delirious and Katt William’s Kattpacalypse.

Initially, I wanted to write a comparison article but after seeing Lawrence’s Inside the Actors Studio, I decided against it realizing his unique character. Truly, Martin Lawrence is one of a kind. How does the Joker throw out an Ace of Spades every hand? Channeling his creativity, craziness is Martin’s strong suit.

Through the years Martin managed to keep busy. Even Kevin Hart can’t challenge Martin’s depth of work and countless contributions. The original Def Comedy Jam host steps out on stage like Floyd Mayweather, Jr. moves in the boxing ring.

Moreover, Martin Lawrence seems larger than life because of his unmistakable charisma. Like Richard Pryor, the comedic actor appears affable. The Martin sitcom opened doors for Wayans Brothers, Jamie Foxx, and Steve Harvey.

The best Martin Lawrence movies include: Life, Big Mommas, Bad Boys, Blue Streak, Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, Death at a Funeral, National Security, and Wild Hogs. Name your favorites in the comments section. I am Guru Jay launching off into orbit in 5-4-3-2-1!
