Chris Rock: Kill the Messenger

An HBO stand-up special drawn from Chris Rock's 2008 comedy tour, compiling three performances in London, Johannesburg, and New York. Each stop is presented with distinct styling: London features a dark suit and shirt, Johannesburg goes with a black suit and white shirt, and New York sports a shiny jacket. The routine tackles contemporary politics and culture, including the ongoing presidential race and the prospect of a black president, as well as targets like George W. Bush, gas prices, and low-paid work. It also delves into consumer trends with topics such as ringtones and bottled water, and examines themes of sex and relationships alongside the proper use of the n-word.
