Sinbad - Afros & Bellbottoms

Great comedy all the way through

I love Sinbad. He is one of the rare comedians who can make you laugh until you cry without using any foul language. If you grew up in the 70s, you will absolutely love this DVD. It is all about what it was like in what we wore, the music we listened to, the hilarity of the technology -8 track tapes and dealing with your parents. You will see yourself in this regardless of whether you grew up rich or poor and it applies to all ethnic origins. It's one of my favorites. I wish HBO would put out the one Sinbad did at Atlanta at Morehouse College. That is the best performance about growing up and all the dumb kid things you did, how your parents had the rules about being home before the street lights came on in the summer. It brings back a lot of memories you hadn't thought of in awhile and it is absolutely hilarious. Sinbad's parents were in the audience and it kept showing them as he told (most likely exaggerated) stories about them. They were laughing and shaking their heads. It made it even better with them there. HBO - you need to release that special you did at Morehouse College too. This will definitely make you laugh!

Sinbad remains our Family's Favorite Funnyman. We howled at the HBO special he did in Atlanta. Howled just as much with this one. We watched it 2 days in a row. What a master at taking regular life experiences and transforming them into comedy that gives you permission to laugh at yourself and so much of what is funny in the world around. I so appreciate Sinbad's ability to be hilarious without resorting to vulgarity. When a father can watch a video with wife and teenage kids and they can still be talking about the video days, weeks, later...and reciting punch lines verbatim..., when 2 distinct generations can laugh to tears at the same material, when there is nothing off color, abusive, immoral, but clean, appealing and side splitting funny...well that's what I call ENTERTAINMENT! This DVD should be in your library.

I rented this one sometime ago to "introduce" his comedy routine to my teenage kids (I had seen this one before along with one HBO special he did in Denver -- oh my goodness that was a hoot too -- unfortunately, I can't find it though!!). At first, they didn't think they'd enjoy it. After the first 10 mins., my kids were rolling on the floor. Even though they're not 70s kids, they found Sinbad's wild recitations and expressions hilarious. We've seen our copy over and over again -- it never gets old!! All my 15-year-old son has to do to get me to laugh is to do Sinbad's impression of the stair-master ... I won't give it away, but it gets us going every time!! His comedy is good, clean fun!! Too much violence and curse words in our kids' lives everywhere they turn. We need more Sinbad in this world!!

It's been a while since I've had this one but it arrived in a shorter time than I expected. It was in good condition and the quality was great. It's very funny as I thought it would be. It had me crack'n up. The sound and viewing was great. I love Sinbad good clean, good quality comedy. I haven't rec'd The Greatest Manifestation yet, it's still on its way. I think I just ordered it either this past Monday or just last week so it still has time to get here.

My wife and I first saw 'Afros and Bellbottoms' a few years ago and we laughed so hard we could hardly breathe. If you are smart enough to purchase this DVD, do keep something soft by your chair, because you will most certainly fall onto the floor. Sinbad's stories of his childhood in the 70's and 80's will especially entertain those who also grew up in those years, but his style of comedy will ultimately entertain everyone who watches. I particularly love how he is able to make fun of himself while making fun of others. Absolutely everyone should purchase this DVD and noone will be disappointed. This DVD will come to be one that you quote on a daily basis just as my wife and I do.

I had an original HBO VHS of this stand up and it was awesome, but I lost it somehow so I wanted to buy another one. The only complaint I have is the fact that this DVD is edited. Certain subjects that Sinbad talked about in the original copy he doesn't even bring up in this one. I checked to see if maybe it was another city or another night of his stand up, but it was all the same people from the original one. So I guess I am about 90% satisfied with this purchase. Great quality though, I will buy from Amazon again.

The DVD is spectacular. Sinbad is absolutely hilarious....not to mention not one cuss word to be found. The DVD is family friendly and best veiwed with a son or daughter. I will admit I was a little dismayed in the DVD being advertised at 82 miniutes (the same as the VHS version) but in actuality is only approximately 60 minutes. Believe me....those extra 21 minutes are well worth it!!!! Overall....a pleasant and pleasing addition to anyones comedy collection!

Love this DVD. I received this DVD very fast excellent service and I will use this company again and again
