Cedric the Entertainer: Live from the Ville

He one of the OGs, one of the all-time greats.

He can make you laugh with a look.

He is a legend in the stand-up game.

Yes.

He's so good. He's completely unique. I love the guy.

The hardest gig I ever did was following Cedric the Entertainer

on New Year's Eve in Oakland.

Talented, gifted, naturally funny.

As good as it gets.

Give it up for the Tennessee State marching band!

- -

Ladies and gentlemen,

Cedric the Entertainer!

- -

Wassup?

- -

Nashville.

Cashville.

What up, y'all?

Yay!

Yeah, man.

Hey, how y'all doing?

I feel y'all. Go and have a seat.

How y'all doing, man?

Y'all gotta give up for that TSU band. Let 'em hear it.

- That shit wore me out. -

I only did the last two minutes of the dance.

- I'm-a-be like this. -

They let you know, boy.

Gotta get in shape, man.

Try to do it. I'm gonna be breathing, with an "F."

I had a "bref," my "bref" was...

- Oh, my "bref." -

Man, I see y'all too, looking good. What up?

Laid up in here too, I saw.

Player with all white on, I see you, pimp. You know it.

Any of you know how to eat barbecue like this?

Tell your mama Rufus stopped by.

Look at this, man.

It's good.

I was joking about getting in shape, but that shit is real. You gotta do that.

That's the latest thing. Everybody gotta lose weight.

I got all the equipment at my house. I don't do none of it.

I got everything you can order on the infomercial.

I got so much equipment, my neighbors come and work out.

I got my own... sell my own gym membership. "Y'all come in."

There's some towels, cucumber water. Go on, enjoy yourself, John.

"I ain't using none of that shit. Go on in."

Gotta try to do it. I had to do something.

I'm walking down the street. This lady sees me, a little white lady.

She got a little daughter. She sees me. "Oh, my God."

I can't believe it's you. Can we take a picture?" "Of course!"

She talking about, "Thank you, CeeLo!"

C-CeeLo?

I ain't no goddamn CeeLo.

Shit.

I walked right into a cycling class, nigga.

Shit, man.

I gotta do something. Everybody losin' weight in Hollywood.

All my partners. Ain't nobody call me and tell me nothing.

I'm like the last fat brother in Hollywood.

Anthony Anderson lost weight. He ain't called me to tell me.

Rick Ross lost weight.

The Boss, he's...

He all skinny as hell, like, "Eh."

Al Roker, Al Sharpton.

You know, Al Sharpton lost too much goddamn weight though.

Al Sharpton lost neck weight.

His head look like a damn bobblehead.

Like Al, you can't lose neck weight.

You can't have no perm and no little-ass neck like that.

That combination don't go together, Al, is what I'm trying to say.

Come out here feeling good, man.

Lookin' good. Everybody all spiffy.

- Whoo! - I like that.

I like to get G'd up. We from that...

- We from that generation. - Yeah!

I notice how the new kids are dressing.

They ain't really give a shit about clothes no more.

They don't really give a shit. Especially boys.

The thing is, I ain't trying to say they style is...

It's for their generation, don't get me wrong, but it's a little asexual.

All the little long-ass T-shirts niggas is wearing now.

One little boy, his shirt was so long, he had a train on the back.

I'm like, "Where's the reception, motherfucker? Shit."

I think it started with skinny jeans.

- - You know what I mean.

The jegging kind, the real super-skinny ones.

I ain't trying to say skinny jeans gay. I don't know that to be true.

What I'm sayin' is, it's a gateway apparel.

It leads to other gay articles of clothing is what I'm saying.

'Cause there ain't no time should a dude ever be putting their jeans on like this.

Never!

Ever.

Sagging. That shit went too far. I used to get sagging.

When it first came out, I understood it,

because that's when new designer underwear came on the scene.

So you want to let somebody know that he Tommy Hilfiger, that he Gucci.

"Look, these ain't no regular Fruit of the Looms is what I got on."

I got that.

Now these dudes got they pants all up under they ass and shit.

I saw one little boy, didn't have his pants on.

That nigga had his shit on his shoulders.

"It's that new, Ced. We don't even wear our shit no more, man.

We just carry it with us in case we gotta run in somewhere, man."

It's a trip, man.

They music has changed too, boy. That young music.

I like rap, all kinds of rap, but rap got so aggressive now, man.

Like when we came up, it used to be sexual innuendo.

They might be talkin' about something. You had to figure it out. "Oh, okay."

Y'all heard "Down in the DM"? They ain't got time for that shit.

Oh, whoa! Whoa!

Ooh, Jesus.

What did they...

On the record? That's on the radio right now.

When I first heard it, I ain't know what Snapchat was.

I thought he said, "Snatch at me that pussy."

I said that is pretty aggressive

with all this Bill Cosby stuff goin' on right now.

"I don't think you wanna be snatching at nobody's pussy like that now."

They were like, "No, Ced, it's Snapchat. It's Snapchat."

That's an app. I don't know if y'all know this.

That's a little app. It's what all the kids on right now.

And you can take a picture of your pussy, now, okay?

And you can put it up on the Internet, and it will disappear like a snowflake.

Okay? It will be gone.

So whenever you bored and you just feel like doin' something...

Snapchat your pussy on out there!

Snapchat your pussy. All the way.

It's fine. I ain't know what it was.

Soon as I heard you can do that shit, I downloaded that app immediately.

I would be ridin' around in my car, lookin' at the app now and then.

Ain't nobody Snapchat on mine. I ain't got no...

I don't know how this work. Don't nobody put none on mine.

"Snapchat me that pussy."

All they little songs. I like all rap.

Fetty Wap. That's another rapper had a big hit. Fetty Wap.

Big rapper. Y'all know Fetty Wap. That's the rapper with one eye.

Fetty Wap had a little accident earlier in the year

where he was on a motorcycle.

And I was thinkin' to myself, "You know what, Fetty Wap?

- "Uh..." -

"Your head got one eye."

You might not wanna be on no goddamn motorcycle.

You gotta have your peripheral when you on a goddamn motorcycle.

You can't turn all way left, nigga, every time you tryin' to turn.

"Stay off goddamn motorcycles, okay? With love."

But he dope though. I like him 'cause he got a melodic kind of rap style.

It's got melody to it, but out of nowhere, it'll turn into some gangsta shit.

So it be a love song, and then out of nowhere, it be a tragedy.

So it like a Fetty Wapera, if you will.

Like, whoa!

Whoa, what just happened there? You know.

That is mighty aggressive, Fetty Wap.

I just saying she looked nice in her dress.

I don't think I deserve two shots in the damn head for that, you know.

I don't think the crime fits the punishment.

Even the girls are aggressive.

I heard the most aggressive language I've heard in a record this year came

from a little girl. I'm riding in the car with my 12-year-old daughter.

She's singing along.

All of a sudden, this girl say the most craziest shit I ever heard in a song.

What? Ooh, Lord, where's Yolanda Adams when you need her?

"You gotta eat the booty like groceries"?

Don't get me wrong, I'm over 40, so I'm willing to participate

is what I'm saying...

I just need to know how much groceries we talkin' about right now.

Is it ten items or less or...

Or are we talking Costco's, now, 'cause I think...

Somebody yell up here, "Come on, help me with the groceries!"

That's too much goddamn groceries. I can't...

I can't eat that much groceries.

All these little songs, man.

They got songs that be making dudes... Gotta get your manhood together.

Like Rihanna little song. I turn that off every time it come on. I can't listen.

'Cause it make you do some bullshit. You a grown man. You came here.

Why the fuck am I doin' this right now?

Unh-unh.

Rihanna always got songs like that. She always tripping.

'Cause her other song last year was a scary song to me.

I'm like, "Is she a little witch? What the hell is she doing?"
