But Gen x can be offended by baby Boomers Wrecking their lives by having so much money! Hey keep sending those bucks to we Boomers cuz we need to party 24, 7 Thank you muchly rtards lol
Are you kidding? GenX are some of the ones who get so offended that they shoot beer cases, get mad about cartoon candy getting drawn with less sexy shoes, and otherwise destroying stuff they already bought.
"Dice" is a caricature, and this was his first tv appearance, so no one knew what was coming. In this time period, we had 2 MONSTER comics. Dice, and Sam Kinison. They were both rude and obnoxious, but we all knew it was shtick because we grew up with Mr. Warmth, Don Rickles, who had the same smack you in the face style. FYI,Dice and Sam sold out stadiums, the first comics to do this. Over 50% of the crowd were women, they loved these guys. We were different people, more hard,more understa ding, and didn't mind to be offended. We'll get back there, we have to, or comedy dies. If you aren't ready to offend as a comic, you're nobody. Take Jerry Seinfeld. He didn't use "bad words" (whatever the heck😏 that means) but he destroyed people by making fun of them and their stupidity. Did Jerry sell out stadiums ? No, but he did have this little tv show.
Kinison was great, Rickles was hilarious, Richard Pryor is the GOAT, but Diceman was just not that funny. Didn't like him then and even now, most of his jokes are simply not funny.
In highschool in the 80's, I think half the people had a cassette tape of this skit. We'd listen to it in the parking lot during lunch break at school.
In his prime, his act was a triumph of hilarious crudity. He was an equal opportunity offender, and his comic timing was brilliant. Also, the audience was meant to laugh both with him and at him. Sometimes it seemed he himself was laughing at the character he was playing onstage, even as he was playing him.
In 1990, he hosted Saturday Night Live and one of the female cast members, Nora Dunn, refused to do the show. Soon after, she was no longer on the show.
Sinead OConnor was the musical guest that night and she refused to appear when he was on. They did a skit with Dice that night, kind of a play on "Its a Wonderful Life" a what would have happened if Dice had given in to all the pressure and not come to SNL that night....I recall one of the things that happened was a giant speaker fell on Sinead OConnor and killed her because Dice stayed home.
Yet just 8 years before this, George Carlin was threatened with prison for his bits...yeah, not so "grown up" because this guy was also protested in MASS once he became known.
God bless you! 🤧 The "Dice" character is what put him on the map, but Mr. Clay has a range that I think would surprise many people. He can pull off dramatic pretty well, as evidenced in his roll as Lorenzo in 2018's "A Star is Born". He's 66 now, and has mellowed some, but I think also displays a certain amount of hard-fought wisdom in the industry, and is greatly misunderstood and underappreciated by many.
I remember being on a cattle cart with Marines of all races. He is very crude and makes fun of every race and sex nobody was offended and we all laughed
He was over the top even in his era, and some women, gays, and others protested his appearances. They said he was racist, sexist, homophobic, the works, and obviously, he had no filter. But he was immensely popular. After all, it’s comedy, not a university lecture or news editorial.
Ahh yes, I remember it well, back before the push for PC (politically correct) culture, which led to the cancel culture. The crowd didn't laugh because they were "racist" or insensitive, they laughed because of the silliness and boundaries jokes can push. Remember, this was during the Eddie Murphy and after the Richard Pryor (the GOAT) era. There were no walls restraining or sanitizing of jokes and that's the whole point of comedy. I'm not saying everyone is open to every type of comedy, but there was no censorship or "cancelling" of comedians because of what they were saying. Freedom of Speech was still free.
Agreed. Everyone got along. Nobody really gave a shit about racism. Houses were affordable. Gas was cheap. The women were gorgeous and above all, we all managed to get along with each other.
"Dice Man" was his character, and people knew it. He took things to the extreme and would come for anyone, absolutely no apologies. His nursery rhymes were always my favorite. I grew up with him, Rodney Dangerfield, George Carlin, Sam Kinison, Robin Williams, Richard Pryor & Eddie Murphy. All legends in their own right. Oh, good for you for making it through it. Dice ain't easy the 1st time.
Way back when, Dice appeared on the Arsenio Hall show and one of the female musicians in Arsenio's band decided she was going to take a stand against what she felt was Dice's misogynist material. So, she said she would not be on the show on the night Dice would be appearing. Everyone hailed her move as heroic. The funny thing is that Arsenio was very close friends with Eddie Murphy. If you ever saw Eddie Murphy's Raw, he goes way further than anything Dice was doing as far as material regarding women. Yet, this same female musician never boycotted the show whenever Eddie appeared
I saw him live in Austin & it was great. The whole crowd knows his rhymes & shouts them out with him. I'm a girl & still remember all of the rhymes. I miss those days.
If you need proof that this was a character, try to dig up the appearance he had on the "Arsenio Hall Show" when he breaks down on camera about how he is misunderstood. That was the beginning of the end for Andrew Dice Clay. Sam Kinnison appeared on the show sometime after that and he and Arsenio were laughing about it pretty good. I had completely forgotten about the "sign at the airport" joke until just now, remembered instantly during the setup. He is best known for the nursery rhymes, Hickory dickory dock lol.
Dice's schtick was INCREDIBLE! Everyone 'assumed' he was Italian, but he's Jewish. He should have stayed true to his character and ignored all the critics. LMMFAO!!! Tanx Dice!!!
No, comedy for the simple minded that wears thin very quickly, except for MAGA of course. Get a comedian up on stage making fun of Trump and watch MAGA cry.
society have ALWAYS been sensitive to comedy... in the old world you kiilya for an offensive joke made in in the wrong company. in carlin's early days comdians were still being arrested for vulgarity and making fun of religion... today people just try to cancel each other. we've went from being run through with a sword, to jailed, to socially/professionally cancelled. and until very recently it always came from far right (namely classical far right; the old monarchies, the church, fascists) but increasingly since the 1980 (and especially the last 15 or so years) the liberals/neoliberals and the conservatives/neoconservatives have started the modern cancel culture that the alt right takes to the Nth degree.
Andrew "Dice" Clay was also a "side character" in the movie "Night Patrol" during his initial rise to fame. He was credited as "Andy Clay". Oddly enough, the MAIN character of the movie was "The Unknown Comic", who wore a paper bag over his head for his stand-up shows. This was actually central to the movie's plot, and the first time we got to see Murray Langston's (The Unknown Comic's) face. He was quite popular on variety shows (The Gong Show and Make Me Laugh are two I can think of off the top of my head). I actually DARE you to watch, if not that movie, but some of the Unknown Comic's standup bits. You should be able to find them on UA-cam. But yeah, the 70s and 80s were a VERY different time in our culture.
Frickin genius. I remember, this comic took the stage in the late 80s as a caricature and within a couple of years was selling out stadiums; became (and still is!!) the most offensive comedian ever (and loved by millions); quickly got his own movie (Ford Fairlaine); and as far as I can tell the first person to be canceled (more than a decades before cancelled was a thing).
Nobody's ever ready for Dice the first time they listen to him. I listened to him back in the late 80s / early 90s, and it was just as shocking back then.
Dice was my first concert I went to. He is a huge reason for the fact that nothing offends me. He ruffled a lot of feathers back in the day, mostly because people weren't intelligent enough to realize his whole routine is AN ACT. Kudos to you for having the fortitude to sit through his set, even though it made you uncomfortable. In today's world, it's rare to find someone who could do that without their head exploding! 😁
He became so popular that the entire arena would finish his nursery rhymes right along with him, including the women, and the crowd shouted it loud and proud with laughter.
Yeah, we grew up with Red Fox, Carlin, Pryor, Rickles etc. Xers actually talked to each other that way (at least guys did). I'm betting lil miss Britt needed a shower after all that filth 😉.
Awe Dice....one of a kind. Comedians back then wasn't spit on for a joke. Yes, my wife hates him, I think he's hilarious. When I was a young adult every man was quoting his nursey rhymes, he was a rock star back in the day.
Ok Britt a few bits of info for you - 1). Jill didn't beat up Jack and take his money , she provided a service he paid her for. 2). Despite the appearance he is not Italian. His full name is Andrew Clay Silverstein - he's Jewish. 3). It is a character he is portraying The Dice Man. He's been in 15 movies including comedy specials. This includes Blue Jasmine which was directed by Woody Allen and the recent remake of A Star Is Born where he plays the father of Lady Gaga's character. He was in a tv series called Crime Story with Dennis Farina that was on for 2 or 3 seasons. Your reaction to his comedy is pretty much the same as all of us the first time we saw him. He was raw & brutally blunt , but to his credit he sold out stadiums like Madison Square Garden as a comic which was rare back then.
@@Joe_on_Rt66 He also had a sitcom on network tv briefly. Other commentors already brought up Ford Fairlane so i didn't feel the need to keep repeating that movie.
@@rogerdaly6326 indeed. There was a regional comic he truly did steal ADC's playbook - Captain Rowdy. A good friend, Steve and I wouldn't miss a show. ** As I was scrolling down this was the first mention of his movie chops and I hadn't read further down at the numerous mentions of his detective flick.
Welcome to the 80s, we didn't get offended by every little thing or anything really. All great comedy has a little bit of truth with some humor around it.
Hey Brit, your face!! Said everything, I’m from the UK and even I knew this was gonna be interesting. I just wanted to tell you about a movie ADC was in, it’s called The Adventures of Ford Farlane (1990) it’s actually a funny movie, it a bit like the Naked gun movies and it’s got some really big names starring in it, he plays a private detective
As Andrew Clay, he played Max Goldman on the Michael Mann produced police drama "Crime Story," starring Dennis Farina. Dice was a high ranking henchman for a Meyer Lansky type crime lord.
Even as good as Dice was at the height of his career, he wasn't doing stadium tour's my friend. Dice sold out a lot of coliseums & arenas in some states, but definitely not stadiums. The only time I know of when ADC played a few stadiums was when he opened up for Gn'R on their concert tour. IDK, I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Dice wasn't doing his comedy act in front of 60/70 thousand people but I'm all ears? 🤔 +Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul Your Soul My Friend+ 🤘😜🤘
Oh my God the Dice Man, I was in 6th grade when this came out, he was so popular we were all emulating him. Definitely outrageous even for back then. Very original. If you think this is bad you should watch Eddie Murphy's Raw. We worshipped him too.
The Diceman was actually just a character he played in his comedy. He did great impressions of Travolta, Di DeNiro, Pacino etc and other comedy bits....but the Dice character and his "shock comedy" was so popular it took over his entire showbiz persona. And as others on here are saying, in the 80s people would freely laugh at things that were rude, crude and outrageous as long as it was funny. It was a happier time.
"I got a 65 Cadillac" The show at Madison Square Garden is the best. He also does a Valentine special where he only makes fun on males too. But his movie Adventures of Ford Fairlane was good. ua-cam.com/video/gXRQ-h1EvYA/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/mzybzb2BMi0/v-deo.html
He started as a regular comedian who did different characters. This character, the Dice Man, took off and how he got famous, so he stuck with it as his while act his whole career. He's hilarious.
Dice was the original shock comic. We thought that Pryor, Murphy, Carlin surprised us before this, but his was a shock, where comedy albums got "R" ratings, and political correctness was born in his wake. He was so offensive, the general public did try to reign him in with boycotts, and even citywide bans on his material. Circa 1989.
You can tell the people who don't follow comedy... There's plenty of comedians doing better more edgy material than Dice. Dice was great but let's not be stupid and act like it all ended with him.
Wasn't this guy in the "Ford Fairlaine" movie? That was pretty funny movie 😊 For what I have seen of his later episodes/performances, not so impressive...
He played the father of Lady Gaga's character in the recent remake of A Star Is Born. He's been in 2 Woody Allen movies and he was in a tv series with Dennis Farina called Crime Story that was on for 2 or 3 seasons. He's been in 15 movies including comedy specials.
Your reactions are great Britt! I was lucky enough to see Dice live in his prime back in the early 90s, it was an incredible show with a very animated crowd as you can imagine. It might seem like people were so insensitive back then, but people are just as insensitive now just in different ways and about different topics. Dice was funny because he relished in saying things out loud that everyone else wouldn't say - or made sure they looked over both shoulders before they said it to see if anyone was around they might offend. Dice was truly fearless, and hilarious.
Brave of Britt to give the Diceman a try! Many points to her for that. A few things. 1) This is a character he’s playing. 2) His comedy is meant to be outrageous - going too far and pissing on politeness is the whole point. 3) Clay became a star at a time when Political Correctness (the late ‘80s/early ‘90s version of Wokeness) was a thing, so his act was a big middle finger to PC. 4) It’s working-class humor. I saw him live back in the day. Great show, and a big part of the fun was being in an audience of working-class guys ‘n’ gals just enjoying being rowdy and outrageous - and in essence telling their polite, PC betters to screw off. Gross sexual humor? Damn right? Rude ethnic jokes? Bring ‘em on. Btw, the women in the audience laughed as loud and as hard as the guys did.
You have to remember, this was the 1980s, no social media, no cell phones, no internet, NO WOKENESS! This is a character he played in standup! He made millions and folks laughed so hard they couldn't catch a breath! It's like, how far can you take it, that's what makes it so funny! By the way, Dice played Lady Gaga's father in the movie" A Star Is Born" also staring Bradly Cooper back in 2018! He's considered one of the top Comedians that ever graced the stage ever!
You had to live through this time to truly understand how much Dice took the comedy world by storm and what a force he was. I know today it’s hard to comprehend, but this guy suddenly was selling out arenas as a comedian. I still say his album, “The Day The Laughter Died” is one the darkest, funniest comedy albums of all time.
Britt said at one point something about this video not having a NSFW warning or something to that effect... It does. It say's the name Andrew Dice Clay. I never thought that people might not know who he is. Superstar. The guy behind the character is quite the person as well. Comedy royalty. Clean cut jewish kid from NYC that took over the world.
You either love him or hate him kind of guy. I was 14 when this came out. I only watched it because of Rodney, this was my first introduction of Andrew Dice Clay. It was funny then, but it did not age well. The ending was a hate speech.
LOVE IT! :)...I know,its much for someone that is brought up in todays pk society,the society we had for the last 25 or so years...but for that was born in the early 70s,its really a brush of fresh air to see someone so totally unhibitited and un pc like Andrew Dice Clay, I know,some of his jokes are borderline...it do taste the limits,even for the 80s crowd that he is performing for here in a few cases but it was very different back then..people were more acceptable for humour back then..even pc incorrect humour...now,today, Andrew Dice Clay wouldnt be able to do 10 procent of what he did back then...another thing...I love your reaction to it Britt..
I was in my early 20s when this aired on cable tv, some of these guys could say some pretty shocking things but Rodney Dangerfield helped launch the careers of many up and coming comedians, including Tim Allen and Rosanne Barr
I got a chance to see Dice at the peak of his career. Sold out arena. The first half of the show was pretty much what you saw here. It was the nursery rhymes, dirty, misogynistic, xenophobic, and everything else. After the intermission, completely different show. He did song and dance, legit. He played drums. He did a great performance piece of Al Pacino, John Travolta, Robert DiNero, Christopher Walken, and Bruce Dern on a camping trip where he impersonated all of them. Watching that performance I got a chance to see Andrew Clay Silverstein as a performer and saw “The Diceman” for what he was, an act. Thank you for doing a reaction to this. I understand where part of him was and is still offensive. I also know that at a time and place in society, he was an outlet for what a lot of ppl might have been thinking, but too afraid to say. I don’t know what that says about society, but as that say in the car commercials, “Your mileage may vary”.
It's all an act. And he did it so well. Yeah he was rude, crude and full of venom for e v e r y o n e, but that's stand up comedy. There's a reason why Dice sold out MSG, he made people laugh at themselves, just like Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Rodney Dangerfield, and Same Kinison did. And he did it with NURSERY RHYMES and acting like a total misogynist He struck a nerve and that was the funny bone. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. This it something I thought you'd NEVER check out. But it was all an act, shtick as we put it. Don't be offended, just laugh cuz all humans are funny in some way or another.
Andrew DIce Clay is probably one of my favorites… He did a movie that is my favorite!! It has a Fantastic Cast! The name is “ Ford Fairlane”! I love that movie!!
He was huge in the late 80s and early 90s! It's a character and he plays up the stereotype , it was a different time,lol. I remember waiting around a month to be able to rent the VHS of Dice Man Cometh at the video rental place!
Dice is the only stand up comedian who sold out the garden two nights in a row, his movie ford fairlaine, rock and roll detective is legendary
He was awesome in Casual Sex too.

If she was scarred by the Dice Man, she'll need therapy after Night Patrol! 😂
Frickin genius. I remember, this comic took the stage in the late 80s as a caricature and within a couple of years was selling out stadiums; became (and still is!!) the most offensive comedian ever (and loved by millions); quickly got his own movie (Ford Fairlaine); and as far as I can tell the first person to be canceled (more than a decades before cancelled was a thing).
Nobody's ever ready for Dice the first time they listen to him. I listened to him back in the late 80s / early 90s, and it was just as shocking back then.
Dice was my first concert I went to. He is a huge reason for the fact that nothing offends me. He ruffled a lot of feathers back in the day, mostly because people weren't intelligent enough to realize his whole routine is AN ACT. Kudos to you for having the fortitude to sit through his set, even though it made you uncomfortable. In today's world, it's rare to find someone who could do that without their head exploding! 😁
HAHAHAHAHA! Too many of us guys were talking like ADC around '90/'91. Good Times!
Hit pay dirt with K Dirt!
He became so popular that the entire arena would finish his nursery rhymes right along with him, including the women, and the crowd shouted it loud and proud with laughter.
Now you know why you can’t offend Gen X 😂
Yeah, we grew up with Red Fox, Carlin, Pryor, Rickles etc. Xers actually talked to each other that way (at least guys did). I'm betting lil miss Britt needed a shower after all that filth 😉.
@@markh.7650 woke culture has ruined comedy! 🤣
@lisazaccardimeunier8378 not just comedy. Everything. I have to walk on egg shells to not offend their sensibilities.
His nursery rhymes are genius!!😂
Dice and early Eddie Murphy.
It gets no better.
Awe Dice....one of a kind. Comedians back then wasn't spit on for a joke. Yes, my wife hates him, I think he's hilarious. When I was a young adult every man was quoting his nursey rhymes, he was a rock star back in the day.
Ok Britt a few bits of info for you - 1). Jill didn't beat up Jack and take his money , she provided a service he paid her for. 2). Despite the appearance he is not Italian. His full name is Andrew Clay Silverstein - he's Jewish. 3). It is a character he is portraying The Dice Man. He's been in 15 movies including comedy specials. This includes Blue Jasmine which was directed by Woody Allen and the recent remake of A Star Is Born where he plays the father of Lady Gaga's character. He was in a tv series called Crime Story with Dennis Farina that was on for 2 or 3 seasons. Your reaction to his comedy is pretty much the same as all of us the first time we saw him. He was raw & brutally blunt , but to his credit he sold out stadiums like Madison Square Garden as a comic which was rare back then.
FORD FAIRLANE ... ADC's own movie.
@@Joe_on_Rt66 He also had a sitcom on network tv briefly. Other commentors already brought up Ford Fairlane so i didn't feel the need to keep repeating that movie.
@@rogerdaly6326 indeed. There was a regional comic he truly did steal ADC's playbook - Captain Rowdy. A good friend, Steve and I wouldn't miss a show. ** As I was scrolling down this was the first mention of his movie chops and I hadn't read further down at the numerous mentions of his detective flick.
Andrew was from an era when you could all take a joke and our feelings didn't get hurts so easily.
More than anything you need to listen to Rodney, the best ever.
Dice Rules and always will. They're just jokes in the end, thats all. That's what was great back then, we all knew, they were just jokes.
Sam Kinson on this same show is classic!
"Dice" THE LEGEND 🚬😎
Gotta love the Dice Man lol
This guy was hilarious in the 80s. Wouldn't fly in modern comedy, but still a guilty pleasure.
Welcome to the 80s, we didn't get offended by every little thing or anything really. All great comedy has a little bit of truth with some humor around it.
Hey Brit, your face!! Said everything, I’m from the UK and even I knew this was gonna be interesting.
I just wanted to tell you about a movie ADC was in, it’s called The Adventures of Ford Farlane (1990) it’s actually a funny movie, it a bit like the Naked gun movies and it’s got some really big names starring in it, he plays a private detective
Should watch his whole show, he left one or two nursery rythmes out.
He played Lady Gaga's father in the recent remake of the movie "A Star Is Born."
He played Lada Gaga’s father in A Star is Born.
As Andrew Clay, he played Max Goldman on the Michael Mann produced police drama "Crime Story," starring Dennis Farina. Dice was a high ranking henchman for a Meyer Lansky type crime lord.
The Dice Man....Classic
Dice! This is a classic set. I still remember a lot of these.
he sold out stadiums doing this
First comedian to sell out Madison Square Garden two nights in a row!
Even as good as Dice was at the height of his career, he wasn't doing stadium tour's my friend. Dice sold out a lot of coliseums & arenas in some states, but definitely not stadiums. The only time I know of when ADC played a few stadiums was when he opened up for Gn'R on their concert tour. IDK, I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Dice wasn't doing his comedy act in front of 60/70 thousand people but I'm all ears? 🤔 +Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul Your Soul My Friend+ 🤘😜🤘
8:42 _THAT'S WHY EVERYONE LAUGHS!_
😂
Human psychology dictates only things _we believe to be true_ are funny. PERIOD.
This was his character for comedy, just like Larry the Cable Guy.
Oh my God the Dice Man, I was in 6th grade when this came out, he was so popular we were all emulating him. Definitely outrageous even for back then. Very original. If you think this is bad you should watch Eddie Murphy's Raw. We worshipped him too.
After you sneezed,” You are so good looking “ only people who watch Seinfeld will get it.
The Diceman was actually just a character he played in his comedy. He did great impressions of Travolta, Di
DeNiro, Pacino etc and other comedy bits....but the Dice character and his "shock comedy" was so popular it took over his entire showbiz persona. And as others on here are saying, in the 80s people would freely laugh at things that were rude, crude and outrageous as long as it was funny. It was a happier time.
"I got a 65 Cadillac" The show at Madison Square Garden is the best. He also does a Valentine special where he only makes fun on males too. But his movie Adventures of Ford Fairlane was good.

He started as a regular comedian who did different characters. This character, the Dice Man, took off and how he got famous, so he stuck with it as his while act his whole career. He's hilarious.
Dice Man was King in the mid 80's. Loved him. Still makes me laugh listening to his old stuff
Only person to get banned from mtv. Lol
😂 Im soooo dyyyyinnnn 😂 Your SHOCK says it all BRITT! He ws just SHOCK COMEDY😂 And we loved it😂
The days when PC was just a computer..
"Jill beat him up" might be the most wholessome and naive Britt moment yet
God bless you Britt 🤧
I think the guy’s in Grease were called the T Birds
Dice was the original shock comic. We thought that Pryor, Murphy, Carlin surprised us before this, but his was a shock, where comedy albums got "R" ratings, and political correctness was born in his wake. He was so offensive, the general public did try to reign him in with boycotts, and even citywide bans on his material. Circa 1989.
People didn't used to wear their feelings on their sleeve. They liked to go out have some fun be insulted and laugh it off.
You can tell the people who don't follow comedy... There's plenty of comedians doing better more edgy material than Dice. Dice was great but let's not be stupid and act like it all ended with him.
this is the type of standup in the 80s and also why its very hard to offend 70s 80s kids
Wasn't this guy in the "Ford Fairlaine" movie? That was pretty funny movie 😊
For what I have seen of his later episodes/performances, not so impressive...
He had a small role as a bouncer in Pretty in Pink too.
He played the father of Lady Gaga's character in the recent remake of A Star Is Born. He's been in 2 Woody Allen movies and he was in a tv series with Dennis Farina called Crime Story that was on for 2 or 3 seasons. He's been in 15 movies including comedy specials.
Your reactions are great Britt! I was lucky enough to see Dice live in his prime back in the early 90s, it was an incredible show with a very animated crowd as you can imagine. It might seem like people were so insensitive back then, but people are just as insensitive now just in different ways and about different topics. Dice was funny because he relished in saying things out loud that everyone else wouldn't say - or made sure they looked over both shoulders before they said it to see if anyone was around they might offend. Dice was truly fearless, and hilarious.
The "Dice Man" was actually a great actor. He was in an episode of M*A*S*H* and had his own sitcom.
Brave of Britt to give the Diceman a try! Many points to her for that.
A few things. 1) This is a character he’s playing. 2) His comedy is meant to be outrageous - going too far and pissing on politeness is the whole point. 3) Clay became a star at a time when Political Correctness (the late ‘80s/early ‘90s version of Wokeness) was a thing, so his act was a big middle finger to PC. 4) It’s working-class humor.
I saw him live back in the day. Great show, and a big part of the fun was being in an audience of working-class guys ‘n’ gals just enjoying being rowdy and outrageous - and in essence telling their polite, PC betters to screw off. Gross sexual humor? Damn right? Rude ethnic jokes? Bring ‘em on.
Btw, the women in the audience laughed as loud and as hard as the guys did.
I miss the Dice Man
You have to remember, this was the 1980s, no social media, no cell phones, no internet, NO WOKENESS! This is a character he played in standup! He made millions and folks laughed so hard they couldn't catch a breath! It's like, how far can you take it, that's what makes it so funny! By the way, Dice played Lady Gaga's father in the movie" A Star Is Born" also staring Bradly Cooper back in 2018! He's considered one of the top Comedians that ever graced the stage ever!
The Dice Man.
You had to live through this time to truly understand how much Dice took the comedy world by storm and what a force he was. I know today it’s hard to comprehend, but this guy suddenly was selling out arenas as a comedian. I still say his album, “The Day The Laughter Died” is one the darkest, funniest comedy albums of all time.
Bless you 🤧
Britt said at one point something about this video not having a NSFW warning or something to that effect... It does. It say's the name Andrew Dice Clay. I never thought that people might not know who he is. Superstar. The guy behind the character is quite the person as well. Comedy royalty. Clean cut jewish kid from NYC that took over the world.
You either love him or hate him kind of guy. I was 14 when this came out. I only watched it because of Rodney, this was my first introduction of Andrew Dice Clay. It was funny then, but it did not age well. The ending was a hate speech.
Andrew "Dice" Clay wouldn't be allowed on stage today... he was a naughty boy...
Trump 2024
Humor....Back when people weren't all woke and butt-hurt over every little thing.
Ford fairlane was such a good movie
LOVE IT! :)...I know,its much for someone that is brought up in todays pk society,the society we had for the last 25 or so years...but for that was born in the early 70s,its really a brush of fresh air to see someone so totally unhibitited and un pc like Andrew Dice Clay, I know,some of his jokes are borderline...it do taste the limits,even for the 80s crowd that he is performing for here in a few cases but it was very different back then..people were more acceptable for humour back then..even pc incorrect humour...now,today, Andrew Dice Clay wouldnt be able to do 10 procent of what he did back then...another thing...I love your reaction to it Britt..
I was in my early 20s when this aired on cable tv, some of these guys could say some pretty shocking things but Rodney Dangerfield helped launch the careers of many up and coming comedians, including Tim Allen and Rosanne Barr
"abrasive" is the word I think you're looking for. I love your response more than the bit itself.
I was thinking “crass.” 😂
I got a chance to see Dice at the peak of his career. Sold out arena. The first half of the show was pretty much what you saw here. It was the nursery rhymes, dirty, misogynistic, xenophobic, and everything else.
After the intermission, completely different show. He did song and dance, legit. He played drums. He did a great performance piece of Al Pacino, John Travolta, Robert DiNero, Christopher Walken, and Bruce Dern on a camping trip where he impersonated all of them.
Watching that performance I got a chance to see Andrew Clay Silverstein as a performer and saw “The Diceman” for what he was, an act.
Thank you for doing a reaction to this. I understand where part of him was and is still offensive. I also know that at a time and place in society, he was an outlet for what a lot of ppl might have been thinking, but too afraid to say. I don’t know what that says about society, but as that say in the car commercials, “Your mileage may vary”.
It's all an act.
And he did it so well.
Yeah he was rude, crude and full of venom for e v e r y o n e, but that's stand up comedy.
There's a reason why Dice sold out MSG, he made people laugh at themselves, just like Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Rodney Dangerfield, and Same Kinison did.
And he did it with NURSERY RHYMES and acting like a total misogynist
He struck a nerve and that was the funny bone.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
This it something I thought you'd NEVER check out.
But it was all an act, shtick as we put it.
Don't be offended, just laugh cuz all humans are funny in some way or another.
Dude is a legend, comedian, actor, tv star. Love his setup
Andrew DIce Clay is probably one of my favorites… He did a movie that is my favorite!! It has a Fantastic Cast! The name is “ Ford Fairlane”! I love that movie!!
He was huge in the late 80s and early 90s! It's a character and he plays up the stereotype , it was a different time,lol. I remember waiting around a month to be able to rent the VHS of Dice Man Cometh at the video rental place!
This was back when people did not get offended by jokes and people could actually take a joke.
When you could insult anyone and everyone just in jest, i think he'd be funnier today if he was 30 younger, bravo Dice man 🙏
