Wanda Sykes - Tongue Untied

I know some people think her voice is annoying, but I think it just makes her comedy even more funny to listen to. You can tell she's sincere and that this is how she really sees life, and it's usually true. From the government to strippers, she just gets right to the ludicrously hilarious truth. You do wonder if the Pope ever just puts on a bathrobe and a Burger King crown sometimes, you do wonder how Christine Whitman ever got elected as head of the EPA, and you do wonder why people think having a drunk follow you home improves their own drunk driving. But her delivery is at least half of what's funny about it. She reminds me of those friends you had at school or some horrible job who made it all bearable by cracking you up. It's not that she's trying to be funny necessarily, you can just tell this is how she always talks and tells stories.I actually don't have cable but a friend of mine had the DVD playing at his place and I just about fell over laughing, I went right out and got my own copy. I know she does TV shows and movies, but I rarely enjoy standups as actors. So I can't speak for her as an actor, maybe her shows aren't so great. This show, however, still makes me laugh even after seeing it multiple times.Also, don't forget that there is a bonus show from when she was Wanda Skyes-Hall, which is just as funny.If you like tell-it-like-it-is standup comedy without shtick and mugging, Wanda is one of the best.

I stumbled across Wanda's act while channel surfing and I laughed sooooo hard that I immediately jumped up to see if it was available for purcahse. I knew I had to own it to watch over and over again with friends and family. I'm a comedy addict and Wanda is one of the funniest (and intelligent) comedians out there. Believe me when I say you MUST get this one and see for yourself. Wanda's sharp tongue matches her sharp wit and she's well versed on today's politics, among other things. This one's great if you love comedy. Don't miss this one or you'll be sorry. Girlfriend is super-duper funny and absolutely RIGHT on! Buy it. And you might want to run to the potty before the laughter breaks out!

I like Wanda. I like her on standup and I like her on TV shows she has been in. This DVD is funny and I love the part about the drunk thing - driving home and following the friend.... will make you laugh for sure! She is funny - pretty outspoken of course... kind of political yes - but that is her choice. I buy it for the comedy!

I think she's brilliant and hilarious. And she can act out scenarios so clearly you can SEE everything she touches and everyone surrounding her. If swear words put you off, or if you're more of a political conservative than a progressive, you won't like her. But if you don't mind vulgarity with a message, you'll laugh till you cry.

In this immensely hilarious program, Wanda Sykes shares her laugh-out-loud views on politics, religion, etc. Every joke is funny as the last, and Wanda's body language contributes to the humor of her jokes. Personally, I've watched this DVD many times, and I still laugh at every single joke Wanda makes. If the main program, "Tongue Untied," isn't very amusing for you, I'm quite sure the other TV programs on the DVD will. At such a low price, this DVD is a must-buy. Let's just hope she churns out another equally funny DVD in the future. You won't regret buying this DVD.

I received my disc. It was loose in the box, cracked and scratched. Unable to play. I actually give it no stars but they will not let me rate it that low.

Love Wanda and this was so funny I had to buy the DVD as well as digital so I would always have a hard copy. Worth it. Got here quickly and watch it over and over when traveling with no wifi in a portable or laptop.

I love Wanda! She's funny in this show but I could not enjoy it due to the fact that there are FREQUENT commercial breaks (sans the ads). This is a TV program taped for Comedy Central---NOT a full length comedy performance. Just when I settled in and became really interested they'd have another break. Just fair warning for all you potential buyers....
