He is no Carrot Top so as long as you don't compare him from those lofty expectations he isn't bad.

No. His first special was pretty funny for the time, but he was average at best after that. He also stole a bunch of jokes, and apparently was getting a lot of material ghostwritten by his comedian ex.

Patrice O'Neal once threw a phonebook at him during a set and told him to read that instead, because it was more funny than his material.

I’d bet a lot of money he sucked a dick or two for fame.

I often wonder what kind of field day he would have ragging on the state of our society right now if he were still here. He is very missed. Probably one of the most naturally funny guys ever. I've cracked up the most from just listening to him have random conversations off the cuff on O&A, not to mention his amazing crowd work in his actual stand ups.

Every time any other actor starts talking about what you have to do to get ahead, he immediately starts trying to get them to hush. I think he has done some some messed dip stuff to get ahead

His first 2 or 3 specials were up there with some of the best. Since he got into movies hes kinda lost it stand up wise, and everybody is just sick of him in general since hes been in 100 movies and all over tv. It kinda became trendy to say he was never funny, but you're lying if you weren't laughing at that 3 special run he had from 2009-11 with im a grown little man, seriously funny, and laugh at my pain. I was in college at the time and people quoted lines from those all the time

I will say hes more "silly" than naturally funny. Like Bernie Mac or Mike Epps are naturally funny just when they talk or tell stories, but Hart has to be over the top and really try to be funny if that makes sense.

Not really. I find he's become a one trick pony. Toss him some lines and watch him shout them-----ALL OF THEM.

Gets old quick for me and I lose interest quickly.

Kevin Hart is only famous because the establishment wants him to be. Never enjoyed any of his movies/stand up

Very true. He does a couple goofy looks but that's really all his gimmick amounts to.

Yes, but peak comedy is about to collapse. There are way too many acts doing arena tours now.

Kev has preacher energy, so his charisma is funnier than his jokes. Much like a young Dane Cook.

He has a few funny specials.

The Real Husbands of Hollywood is hilarious.
