Hi there Mr. Handsome aka Mr. Smell good. How are ya darling? It was lovely meeting you. I bet you don't remember which city.
Awesome!
Done & done sir 😂... 2% of them views are from me 💯😂 #truckerlife
Would be a great honor to have you on our platform. Please bless our platform. Kansas City Mo . You’re here Friday September the 13th 🙏🙌🏾
It says "this video isn't available anymore."
i don’t think people understand how incredible it is to tell essentially one continuous story over 4 different specials. Domino Effect 1-4 will go down (in my opinion) as the greatest series of specials of all time. Ali’s the GOAT!!!!!
Why are we all smiling and light hearted after viewing his specials?!🤗
True!
Walsh did it when he lost his son
For sure.
Yes!
This is not a comedy special. This is civil discourse beyond the TedX variety. This is community storytelling in the Griot tradition. This is life lessons and the history of a community through the life of a man.
Absolutely!💯
💯 Sis your statement captured this perfectly. Blessings to you 👑💯
Facts big Facts
Well stated sista
Funny still
Never in the HISTORY OF COMEDY has a comedian ever told prison stories THIS WELL & brought these characters to life as if they were sitting in front of us! Ali you are an AMAZING talent! Don’t let up 💯🫡❗️
He just telling his story and finding the humor in life. Life is good, PERIOD. Plus he gotta positive message. Blessings
Right! Makes you feel like you know them!!!
They need the anime vesrion to this.. NOT FEAR 💯😭
It’s like a tv show or movie series I dunno lol just using my imagination to visualize everything is just so cool
when he was talking about big brown. I was Picturing someone like Terry Crews😂😂 please tell me i'm not the only one haha
Comedians often steal material. Ali can never be accused of that this shit is so original and authentic 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😮
💯
Real talk
Facts... especially when you're telling your life story. This is amazing. He's very gifted to be able to do this.
I don't know why he keeps giving us this material for free, but I'm very appreciative. Instant classic per usual.
Our views and comments likes and shares is how this free. Share this everywhere!!! Let's help him get paid
@@realmarie_real Thank you for the tip.
That's bcs he owns his comedy, no netflix or any company owns his ish, that's wgat his father taught him, to never work for any other man, he won't be crying like Dave Chappelle when they played his skits for free and they didn't pay him and he had to ask us not to watch it, " The Chappelle show" skits.
UA-cam pays them for views
He also has a tip place. You can send him $
Humanizing people living in a dehumanizing condition. This was brilliant
Yeah… when I see ppl who beg. To prison. I ask them to tell me stories now and I show them Ali if they never heard of him.
So well put
❤❤
This is the best way to describe his work.
He's a different kind, folks. 😊❤
For the why not Netflix questions... Ali said he didn't go the Netflix route because he wants to own his own material...a legacy for his children. Very wise. It's not that they slept on him, he just wasn't interested in courting them. Ali is my favorite comedian. Blessed to have seen him live once in Dania Beach, FL and have a pic to cherish. 😊
He's done almost a million views in 4 days. He getting hella UA-cam money and owns his material to distribute however he wants later. Very smart.
Much respect to him for that
Not every human being is gone off the illusion of success.
Yeah… now he can let Netflix pay for using his specials
Yup now if anybody or any other platform use his lines for like Tik Tok or just showing a clip of his specials they have to pay HIM directly and nobody else gets a cut…Ppl dont understand yes Netflix is a big platform but most of the proceeds go to them while they just pay whoever a flat price, depending on who the deal went
Bcuz Dave Chappell put his specials on Netflix but he did a deal where he still get residuals from anytime someone views it no matter what platform they seen it on
Brother Ali, I did 22 years straight and never went to solitary confinement, never had a physical confrontation. Had to show much teeth a fee times. My mission was to become a better version of myself and made it my goal to impart wisdom in every situation possible. Bless up!
How did you do it I’m 22 looking like I’m gonna face a couple years but I want to come out better any advice ?

Very true
I agree!!!
"BIG BROWN 'BOUT TO MOVE AROUND!" 😂🤦🏾♂️🤣
I been saying that since I heard it 😂😂😂

Folks don't understand how proud Houston is of Ali. Salute bro. You just dropped four Classics.
I love this guy im from the UK 🇬🇧
They really don’t 🤘🏿 town legend
Agreed. I'm from Alief, went to Elisk. I watched all 4 of these over this weekend. True Artist beyond his understanding, I think. I will catch this man live one day.
I work in a juvenile detention center and think this should be required viewing! Ali this is a stand up special but it could be a Ted Talk! God bless you brother!
Yo I did too for 6 years....Nothing crazier than seeing a real life juvenile booty bandit, smh...that shit is crazy
@@trappedineuphoria3416Wtf 😂

The way he has the audience going from laughing with all their might to everybody being silent enough to hear a mouse chew cheese is absolutely amazing.
Even the best stand-up comics struggle with keeping an audience engaged for an hour, but Ali does it for 4 straight specials in one continuous story. This isn’t a standup set, it’s a one-man show TRILOGY. Hilarious and well worth the watch.
Tetralogy…. 4 parts. Brilliantly done 😎
Someone at Netflix really aint doing there job..Ali deserves to be on Netflix and Amazon prime. Every installment of the domino effect is Grand artistry. #love an respect
I appreciate the sentiment of people "getting at Netflix" about missing out on #AliSiddiq. However, if Katt Williams has taught us nothing else about these "modern day" streaming platforms, especially as it relates to (black) comedians, it is the mathematics of how Netflix works. Also, if I recall correctly... "Netflix don't call nobody." 🤭 I for one don't want Brotha Siddiq to go back on anybody's plantation, that includes the likes of said streaming service, in my opinion. The world has to catch up to greatness and it will with Ali Siddiq. 😉
I would have to assume that Ali has some type of agreement with UA-cam. And he likely owns the content.
Everyone. He HAD A NETFLIX DEAL, They didn't like some of the jokes and HE RIPPED up the contract... Period.
Ali doesn't need Netflix. AT ALL.
He is in control of his material and doesn't want Netflix or any other platform that would try to dictate to him. He is running his material with his own autonomy through UA-cam. #TheGoat
"Lil Bitty Wynn?"
"YOU BEEN TALKIN' TO BROWN?!"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was crying when he said that he instantly knew big brown was on bs
Love that you’ve become one of the greatest storytellers in comedy without doing too much. You’ve kept your head down, haven’t made too much noise, focused on your craft and now your talent is undeniable and makes all the noise for you.
We just didn't know it
Doing it his way in his own lane
Best commen ever...you've been nominated
I lost my son to gun violence...I appreciate the MESSAGE in this video...bro, we NEED and DESERVE PEACE!!! And our babies deserve to grow!!!
Sorry for your loss and I hope peace comes to you and yours.
Rip to your son
I feel your pain my family lost my twin brother back in july 08
He is amazing at story telling
Asalaamu alaikum ahk… Your story telling is one of a kind 😂
The Highlight of my Father’s Day was watching DE :Pins and Needles with my 74 year old father. The joy of laughter was therapeutic and healing for my family.
DE 1 gave me a reason to smile after the loss of my mother.
DE 2 encouraged me to be strong in the face of grief.
DE3 was the highlight of my Mother’s Day !!!
After reading all the comments it is clear that Ali is doing Gods Work ! Thank you Ali Siddiq
Mashallah.
R.I.P to your mom 🙏
This cat is something special. I've been down with covid so I've binged watched every single thing he has on UA-cam. This man has one big heart. He didn't know it but God put this man where HE needed him to be. Laughter is needed literally everywhere. This man takes it with him and gives it away. I'm definitely a fan!
A 2-hour special. Ain't nobody else doin this! Ain't no filler, ain't no fluff, all the real Ali Siddiq we know and love! MAN I loved this! And it was 95% new content. Only thing I remembered from before was the bodybuilding contest with Brown and Wynn. You really are a breath of fresh air in an industry of people doin the same shit. You have a unique story that these other comedians couldn't tell if they paid someone to write for them. Your authenticity puts you WAY above the rest. There are other great comedians for sure, but your style ain't like no others.
Yep I agree we knew about brown but everything else was original
You could listen to this man talk for 8 hours straight nd STAY laughing. LETS GO ALI!!!
1000%
You said your number and immediately my man said his number right out loud and then sat down to watch this show with me. We both hope people young people see this and don’t throw a part of their lives away.
Damn I don't even remember mine lol. Put that shit behind me
❤😂
@@swappedoutZ71 good for you. i think it's probably healthy that you just leave your mistake in the past. you certainly paid your debt. he did a lot of math in his pre prison career. he's crazy good with numbers. & i think if he could put it behind him he definitely would. he was called by that number every day for years so i can't really blame him. his time started at one of those boot camp prisons to try and get his time cut down some. they only let the prisoners at that camp be referred to by their numbers. that shit got shut down during his sentence though thankfully. good luck to you though sweetie. i'm glad you're out and living your life. 💖✨
Inknew straight from the jump that number was a prison I'd dunno how. Intuition. Love him
Depends on how long you were inside... I guess
I love Ali's story telling. The best part of the story is when he talks about treating people human & how he was good to people no one was being good to. That was some real shit. Salute.
One of my best Father’s Day gift I’ve had in a minute. Happy Father’s Day to you Mr.Saddiq and appreciate you for dropping this on Father’s Day for all the fathers like myself. Thank you 🙏🏾
No bs just made my day
Happy Father’s Day💞
This is a real treat, enjoy❤

Hilarious 😂

Yo Make a Short and Put it Up!!!!!
I just want to say the first one I saw was Loss and I fell asleep with it on. In my deep sleep I literally felt like you were in my room talking to me and when you talked about your sister… whew I woke up crying . That’s how captivating your stories are and I can’t wait to see what you come out with next. It’s worth paying for !! Thank you !
THANK YOU!!
I cried like hell when he talk about his sister
That's so sweet of you❤
I went to bed for two weeks in a row listening to Domino Effect 1. Brought me right up outta my depression. I will pay for everything he puts on patreon. It's cheaper than therapy.
H-town stand up Ali is becoming the new king of comedy boy being knowing since just joking salute 👏bro
The story telling is mesmerizing but the physical comedy, use of performance space, and facial expressions are so compelling and never distracting. He OWNS this!
The way Ali paints the picture… I feel like I was in prison with him… especially the part about Brown and little bitty Wynn😂😂😂
BIG BROWWWNN YEAHH!
Same. Freakin hilarious!!!!
Take these bracelets of BIG BROWN 😂😂lol
I'm going my house saying little bitty Wynn
Coooobra Back🐍😂
Would be pretty awesome to have an Ali Siddiq custom domino set. Each one has a picture of him saying, "hey". 😑 😆😆😆
Now that would be dope 🔥🔥😮💨😮💨
on it !! does anybody know how I could send them to him?? does he have an p.o box??
Like the way he says “ Say, say, say”.
That’s tough af
"hey man. whats ya name?" 😂😂
You gave us this epic comedy special for free. The least we could do is support this brother. Keep the hits coming, much love from Memphis, TN.

please do not let this mans words be just a "comedy special" he was speaking on a helpful level and speaks words of unity. He dropped plenty gems. take head.
Take heed
I don’t think y’all realize how hard it is to have these many hours of material perfected man. This man is gonna go down in the books as one of the legends of comedy , fuck the numbers fuck the Netflix specials.
It would be better if he got rick off it.

Just came home after 7 years and 9 months from my first and ONLY state and federal prison sentence and I witnessed the same situations and was humbled by this series. I watched all four episodes and I laughed, cried and can honestly say I needed this Thank You my Brother Ali…The youth of today needs to watch this especially here in Chicago, hell the world needs more of brothers like you.Oppression and violence has ruined us but it’s great to see change and growth from a fellow brother!!!

@@SEO_slim Stay focused and take it one at a time! Readjusting ain’t easy but if you made through that, you can make out here! I’ve been out for almost a year and doing well. I wish the best good brother!
Excellent. U 🏡 for good. Much proud. 😊
Ali you have graduated sir. You now have your PHD in stand-up. An absolute master; and like Sinatra, you did it your way. HBO canceling Domino Effect 1 was a blessing in disguise. Keep being you
HBO ain talking about nothing since forever. SMH. 😊❤
Appreciate you being the voice for us former inmates who can’t fully articulate our experiences in there. You’re helping our families and communities understand us more. It isn’t easy adjusting back into society after long periods of incarceration
Man I did almost 6 years and I could relate to every story!
❤❤❤❤well said Fred
❤❤❤
“We look at each other without consequence” was such a power sentence. I absolutely love everything you put out. You made us laugh You spoke facts , made us look inward. And made us laugh again. You have become one of my favorite comedians . Proud of you black man.
Without a doubt that line hit different.
Yea he spoke some real ass shit during that part. ✊🏿💪🏿💯
Big Brown is my new favorite character in the story. I picture him looking like Bob Sapp.

We can all donate money to his cause!!! Don’t be shame to throw some dollars 💵 his way. That way you won’t feel like you’re stealing or getting anything free
Ali has become my favorite comedian/storyteller now. I’m a short Mexican from San Antonio with dope dealer parents who did bids in the 90’s and 00’s. I fought my whole damn life. I feel like Ali was in my backyard talking stories with me.
I wish your people my people could squash the hate. I read (audiobook) The People's History of the United States and came away with a painfully clear understanding of where and why the hate started, it didn't start with us. Them other people who live in fear of losing power and perceived superiority can only keep power by making us see each other as enemies. I love Mexican people, all of them. I recently moved from California to Arkansas and I'm sad that y'all barely live here, but I understand. This is a hatefilled red state. I don't belong but I can't move again in this life.
Very few things can make me put down my phone these days, but this experience was on another level entirely. I was utterly captivated, hanging on to every single word. This wasn't just a show; it was a masterclass in storytelling. Truly, it was a modern masterpiece, destined to be remembered as a classic for years to come. Great work Ali 👏👏👏
Ali is truly GOATED. There’s not too many specials I can watch over and over.
"If I cant change your ideology with a conversation, I'll change it with my hands" is a fuckin bar dawg. Since the drop I've now seen all 4 in the series a minimum of 3 times. You keep getting better with no roof in sight it seems. Definitely the best story teller I've ever seen. THANK YOU BROTHER
Facts
Netflix slept on Ali because this is comedy greatness! The way this man tells stories and jokes, no question Ali is now one of the GOATS! Give this man his flowers and put the check on top! 😎

If we listen to him we understand why. They don't want people to hear this. He is teaching while making us laugh!

What!? Each part could be a piece of the domino set too 🔥🔥
This brother is way deeper than he’s been given credit for. I have a new view of my Blackness and a huge amount of respect for him and his message.
The Background changing with the story moods was FIRE
It was on part 3 too
Just realized that, got to watch it again for the 4th time 😂
Dropping 4 classic specials in a series of special is absolutely unheard of and the replay value is like watching “Martin” or “the office” it just doesn’t get old
His comedy is timeless! We all needed this..
Without prison we wouldn't have known Ali. True blessing in disguise. He said this was the best special on Breakfast Club and he wasn't over selling it. This is the best special of the year by far.
That Big Brown shit had me fall out my bed 😂😂😂😂
I've given thanks to 3 of the last 4 specials paid for all the moment events, and went to the last 2 specials in person. All just to show my appreciation to you and your work sir. Congratulations to you and your teams success and Happy Father's day.
THANK YOU!!!

I have watched this about 300 times now...every time i hear the Brown bit....i cry laughing....
@@bolch88bb8yo for real. When he talk about Big Brown and Lil Bitty Wind I die laughing, every single time. “We need some more god damn weight.”
“Shit, we sho muthafuckin do.”
@fredmorris214 little bitty Wynne! "Lil one we need more weight in this mutha fuckka" I die man lol Brother Siddiq is a fucking genius story teller. Know this Brother from "this is not happeing" Mexican got on boots!
He's low key like Chappelle. He's not telling jokes. He's telling a story (HIS LIFE) But making it HILARIOUS!!!
Better than Chappelle in my opinion. He's not inflammatory. Not that Dave is villainous or anything, but he certainly pokes the bear. Ali just tells his life's story.
Omg he's exactly HOW HES TELLS HIS STORIES. that deep chill voice
Yeah but he’s full of shit though lol. His stories are funny as hell but like Joey Diaz they are just stories. It’s a very little bit of truth layered in a lot bs to make it funny.
He's my 2nd fav comedian after Chappelle and maybe all time. Steve Harvey, Martin, Cedric, Kevin Hart, nor Katt make me laugh like this or have storytelling capabilities this man has.
I like him more than Dave
My son is in Ellis unit right now. He’ll be in Estelle by Christmas. Mr. Siddiq gives me hope that my baby will be able to make it through this sentence and become the greatest man he can be, in spite of the awful circumstances he’s currently enduring. ❤
This was a dark one. The rage and insecurity pushing you to leave “the Cadillac”🤣, the slice of humanity Brown and Wind chased by asking the only genuine people they knew to judge them, Manley instantly stripped of all accolades the moment he became a prisoner. We appreciate you brother.
It is absolutely wild to rather be in the most violent area of a prison than just tolerate and keep to yourself around acouple gay dudes. If they ain’t pedophiles in the pen then just keep pushin and do your time. Only ones that’ll think you’re a sissy is the dudes that are in the violent blocks
Waiting for the crack dealing convicts to comment how I’m wrong
I just got released from jail today no lie and I was looking forward to this since Domino Effect 3. The more you speak, the more i understand as a fellow comedian. I thank you brother cause you're speaking from millions of incarcerated that have no voice. We ain't ask for this life but sometimes it's what you're born into and we don't always make the best decisions. I thank you and vow we will speak one day. MY BROTHER !
Congrats on getting out. Wishing you much progress and peace in the rest of your journey 💪🏽
Welcome home no matter where you are. ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
This Domino Effect series has now ushered in an era that is unmatched! The genius of this series is as incredible and remarkable, as it is indescribable. Keep that glow Ali! All the great ones have it! You are an amazing storyteller! The gift you possess follows you as if it's your shadow. It also shines it's everlasting eternal light on you! Thank you for sharing it with us!
Richard Pryor

Red Fox are all saluting this man.
He is a Master of his Art!!!!
The layers in your storytelling are unmatched. It's like a Jordan Peele movie. The way you referenced "cece" showed me truly how powerful your gift of storytelling is. Showing your growth as a leader in prison and coming out a changed man is truly inspiring. The levels of integrity you've developed are outstanding. It's amazing seeing people's gifts come to life. Been a fan for years.
Love that it’s a 2 hour special. Comedians talking about they should be under a hour. Thanks for the 2 hours!
And he holds your attention the ENTIRE time ❤️ 💪 💯
@@greaterishe7197 oh ya if something interrupts I rewind. I don’t miss a beat.
I love the way the background screened changed throughout the show from a stormy rain in the beginning and gradually the skies were getting clearer, and by the end of the show the clouds were gone and there was nothing but blue skies! Very nice touch Ali! Please don't let this be the end! I so look forward to you coming on stage, sitting down and saying..."hey" 😂
I love his ability to control an entire room. Even with his stories you can tell everyone respected him. He gives off I know who I am energy. Can’t do nothing but respect that kind of man.
As crazy as it may seem, your past experiences was God grooming you for greatness. Those experiences were for you to share, teach, inform, and inspire others. This was already predestined for you. Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, Today is a gift, that's why they call it The Present. Thank you Ali for sharing your gift with us.
Come on people let’s get Ali to 1 million in 24 hours!! Love this man’s energy. He made my Father’s Day and I’m a widowed Mother. 😂😂😂
3rd time watching still hilarious
This is a true American story. This Brother has overcome one of the worst things society can throw at a Blackman in this country. Keep pushing positiveity
This is top tier story telling. The Domino Effect series and The Testicle Testaments are two of the best stories about manhood, redemption and success. Man, Ali, thank you for the gift.
"I got dis, I got that, I got this"... & "Cobras Back".... Destroyed me😂😂😂😂😂. Well done & thank you 👌🏾❤
Every damn time. Every time... this brother brings you into his world. You laugh, you mist up a bit, and you contemplate your own life's journey. He tells a complete few chapters of his story and at the end of that chapter. You want more. Ali, brother, can't wait for the next chapter and thanks for letting us in.
He dropped 4 specials in a year? And timed the last one for Father's Day? This is beyond genius...
Ali is a SAVANT...
I’ve been waiting, now this is a Father’s Day gift.
Happy father's day
I have a son that is incarcerated in Texas. He has shared some humorous, as well as horrific stories. I thank you for your transparency and the laughter you bring!!!
When Ali was talking bout them playing baseball, that whole segment sounded like LIFE meets The Longest Yard. 🤣🤣🤣
Hell yeah 😂 I peed on myself a little 🤭
60-6 is crazy work lol😂
He doesn't miss. There is very few who don't miss every single time. A continous story that never strays from being funny, educational, mind blowing, while puling on your heart strings all at once is gold!!
That Brown cry is 😂😂😂, priceless.
I cried about 5 minutes from laughter 😂😂
The loss of a mama is so fucked up but here , i can't hold it , insanely funny :) "I'm hurt little one , huh "
bro said AH... :|
xDDDD
I nearly caused an accident on the road cause of this laugh😅😅😅😅
FR!! i wish thats all my cry took he let out a lil "AEUGH...." meanwhile i'm a mess
I watched with my father on Father's Day. He and many other loved one's have shared their prison experiences with me. Watching these specials and listening to your interviews makes me feel like you've expanded our family. Your specials bring me a lot of joy even though I know these experiences are difficult. Thank you for being a light for those who made it out.
I stumbled upon Ali Saddiq in 2018/19 when his special on Comedy Central, "Bigger Than These Bars", and I was immediately swept away by his level of storytelling, also because I had a similar experience as a young man growing up on the West Side of Chicago in the '80s & '90s. I was somewhat disappointed when Katt Williams tried to play Ali as if he were a lesser man. If Katt Williams didn't know Ali, he should pay attention to this master class! Ali Siddiq's comedy blends long-form compelling narratives, sharp observations, and meaningful commentary. His delivery is authentically witty. His ability to connect with his audience through personal stories and social insights makes his comedy entertaining and thought-provoking.
Katt Williams a fool 😅, Kevin Hart a fool 😅, but Ali Siddiq is a whole different type of funny, his stage presents & story tellN is unmatchable & undeniable. #👑💪🏿💯🔥
Yeah screw kevin hart
@@bjornblackman2337We can enjoy them all.
Wholeheartedly agree ❤❤
Unmatched and undeniable
Yal weird for this yal know most black comedians know and support each other right… Katt Williams included despite everything he’s said publicly there’s plenty of comedians he’s helped out over the years as well as shitted on …in fact he did it to Ali which led to the boxing match that Katt declined…
Virtual Stadium of 15k ain’t bad .
Thank you for your art . Happy Father’s Day .
I have to say… this one may be my favorite part of the Domino Effect series yet. There is a deeply thoughtful nature at the heart of this series but the element I was missing to really get it was what he talks about in this one. The compassion for others in your situation. I hope this isn’t f*cked up to say, but the moment he was talking about starting to perform for others who had nothing else hit me 3 times as hard as the moment he spoke of his sister on TDE part 2. Recognition of kinship beyond family is, for me, the first step we have to make to become a more pluralistic society; and seeing that expressed in thought and (reportedly) action really touched the core of who I try to be.
Ali Siddiq is for me already a luminary of this art form.
Ali, you are the ULTIMATE storyteller. Observations and experiences are what I want in stand-up instead of gimmicks. Real life. Congrats on your success! Western NY has 2 comedy clubs you need to perform at. Helium in Buffalo and Comedy at the Carlson in Rochester.
💯 He usually performs in Albany, NY. I live a lil south from there and was able to see him live.
@@MsMVP Even then he should do more NY cities and Northeast US cities. They're all different crowds.
This man deserves all the money in the world. He’s one of the best to ever do it!
Ali is the G.O.A T. NO CAP!!!!!!!
Somebody pay this man his millions alreadt!!!!!!
He talking bout them big boys, I used to work in a facility with tookie wiliams body guard, a man named Dennis brewer, man was 6’8” AT LEAST, im 6’2 220 i remember standing next to him and his bicep was as big as my head… they say ( before my time) he was able to 10 rep 525lbs fairly easily in bench and no one knows his max because that’s all the weight that was allowed. The single biggest human being I’ve ever seen in my life, I’m just grateful he was actually a very decent person at least at that time because he could have crushed me any time he chose to do so
Please Please Please go and see Ali in person. I've had the pleasure of going to 2 of his shows and it is definitely worth it.
I hope he is making money. We’re privileged to have these specials here for free.
Sometime ppl say "hes doin to much" as a negative statement. But in thhx case its Ali blessin us
I can’t see how any could say he is doing too much, he is shedding light on the criminal Justice system, which I have had to deal with because of my own son. I have seen first hand how one sided it is and how states, counties, police officers and some lawyers truly work together when it comes to black people. They say Justice is blind but I’m here to tell you that heffa be peeking😅
Fax
I don't think so
No he doesn't do too much. Comedians are mad bc they DON'T have this man's stage presence and can't tie in all of their stories to form the PERFECT STORY of their lives as he has done. No one has a 4 part special. Also, most in MY OPINION are mad they couldn't do what he has done or even thought about it 1st. Instead of applauding, uplifting, and giving this man his flowers and much respect on the come-up they hate! Continued blessings King. Keep making us laugh with your genuine storytelling. ❤
Naw he does just enough
I love how Ali was known as "Little One"😂
I've watched all of these like 4 times🤦🏽♀️🤣
And they respected him ❤
The best comedian of the 20-20's , so glad to be here to witness it 😂😂😂😂
very true!
That’s what I said and keep saying! *Absolutely Unmatched!*👑🤩🙌🏾
Most underrated comedian of the first half of the 2010s too. One of the best comedians of the 2010s overall.
From Mexican got on boots to "Cadillac!" 😂😂😂 so many soundbites...ive enjoyed this journey...laughed, cried , learned. Hats off 👏 🙌
Indeed
Thank you for letting me attend this masterclass of storytelling, humor, vulnerability, and character.
Your delivery is immaculate!!!!!!! Your cadence and timing is hilarious!!! So good
I can't tell you how many times I've watched or listened to this since it aired, but I just want to comment since I haven't seen anyone else talk about it; the changing backdrop as you progress through your story is very powerful even if you aren't paying attention to it. Thank you for this wonderful work of art and your ability to transform your life story into something so profound.
That "No you wasn't!" {with the tantrum and body flip} took me clean out. Ali, you a whole fool!!! 🤣
Richard Pryor was so excellent because he was ruthless with the ugly truth. There was no schtick or gimmick to him. He just told you the truth and it was hilarious. All the GOATS of my lifetime did it. Eddie, Chris, Dave, now I argue that Ali needs to be a part of that conversation. This entire series is "Exhibit A" of that Argument.
I’ve seen Ali Live 3 times and he NEVER disappoints! Love you brother! Keep going ❤️
I know right and he's NEVER telling you the same story
First off I have a really short attention span at times. You are the first comedian that really pulled me in. Your story telling is impressive. This is the first time in my life that time stood still. Because you can’t tell me that was 2 hours. I wish you the best. 💜
