DVD : Margaret Cho - Assassin |
- Nothing original said in 10 years.Not anything particularly new and exciting here, just the same cliches you now get in the multi-cultural university. How could anyone say that she is the comedian attacking the right? Are you living in a cave? She is doing the same routines that about 95% of the comedians in the country are doing now. The only difference is her Asian KKK membership. She is more interesting in promoting hate than tolerance, scapegoating white males for everything. For example, the existence of sexism is somehow the fault of WM despite the fact that sexism has a recorded history far longer in India, the Middle East and East Asia than is does in Europe. Yet somehow the origin and existence of sexism anywhere in the world is the result of "whiteness".
This highlights her flaw--she promotes and provides anger, not analysis, not why or how something happened, and certainly no humor. People like Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle managed to effectively tackle racism without being racist themselves and while managing to be funny and original.

- Oh Cho, Where Did you go?I typically love Margaret Cho and her wicked sense of humor. Her edgy, sardonic, volatile way with words has always appealed to me. Unfortunatly, With Assassin, Cho has lost that charm. I actually sat down expecting to CRACK UP, but I found myself only chuckling a few times and one of the times was when Margaret famously imitated her mother-which is standard Cho. I agree with all of Margaret's political views and I find her opinions refreshing. I find myself feeling ostricized in my small-town community for having the views that I do, and it is incredibly soothing to find celebrities and people in the spotlight who can vocalize what I am always thinking. She vocalized everything....But, it was just too much for a comedy routine. I wanted to laugh more! If I was having a group discussion with Margaret, I would have appreciated her input and the views she expressed in this routine, but for a comedy routine it was lackluster.
Not really recommended unless you want to hear someone vent about Bush.

- i still love margaret cho but....a couple of years ago i bought the 3-pack dvd set with cho's first three stand up dvds and i loved each one of them. all three were funny. i wanted to buy assassin but something told me to wait. then one day at blockbuster my mom told me to pick a couple of things out and when i saw assassin, i was like, cool i'll rent it to see if it's any good. my mom wanted to turn it off after 10 minutes, bored, but i, loving miss cho as much as i do, made her sit through the first half hour. i was so sad because i love margaret and wanted to love it but just couldn't. we still have it for like another week and i plan on watching the rest of it alone to see if it gets any better, but from the first half hour, i can tell it probably wont.

- Margaret Cho forgot that she's a comedian! BORING!Margaret Cho USED to be so funny that you'd gag on your own laughter. She seems to have forgotten that she's a comedian. I don't know if I'd call if social or political soapboxing... I didn't laugh once. Even the folks who paid to see her show in person aren't laughing. They clap in agreement with her views. The crazy thing is that she ^believes^ that she is being edgy and original. She's just boring..... I miss the old comedian, Margaret Cho - the entertainer.

I love you Margaret and I hope you keep bringing the light into our lives.
