I believe the story is that the crowd tore the comic before him up. So Bernie took control and showed the crowd he was not the one to be messed with. RIP to the king
I watched this when it came on and when he said "KICK IT"! Kid Capri played Terminator X "Buck Whylin" but on here they play something else? I wonder why?
I saw this years ago when it originally aired. Def Jam was the birth of so many great black comedians. R.I.P. Bernie, 2021 and you're still on our minds.
Like MJ in the 4th quarter… Mac handled that crowd like it was putty in his hands. A true master. No wonder Jerry Seinfeld said he was one of his all-time favorites and possibly TBE.
@@bigwillietheb really? I think Seinfeld is one of the greats and the show was funny af too. Bernie is one of the greats as well and his show is a classic as well. Both legends
BERNIE HADN'T GOTTEN BOOED, IT WAS ONE OF THE ACTS BEFORE HIM, HE WAS WORRIED SO HE CHANGED PART OF HIS SET AND CAME UP WITH THE RIFF "I AIN'T SCARED OF YOU MO FO'S"
Jaleesa Trevelyan... He actually said that in one of the King of Comedy tour's "It's not what you say it's how U said it... it's jokes but it's also the truth ...'' He was one of kind RIH UNC MAC 🙏🏿
I grew up during the 90s so I didn't get to see a lot of his stand-up but I watched The Bernie Mac Show some (and more so now). I definitely pay attention to not only how he says stuff, but even his facial expressions and when he responds to what other people say are punchlines in of themselves. And seeing him on Moesha too he has me crying. One of the funniest to ever do it. RIP.
I grew up on this shit and it completely represents an era we will never get back. Savages men and women being completely ruthless and the audience loving every single moment. None of this divisive shit
I remember watching this growing up first coming out. You don't understand. Definitely a rose that grew from the concrete. Into one of the biggest Stars. Thank you Mac.
Some people are put on this earth to show us all what is capable. Bernie was one of those people. Although there are great comics, he was at the top of his class. He was loved my many and respected by all his peers. I was fortunate enough to remember this performance when it aired. How lucky are we all to have his legacy live on through social media. He is truly a master among masters. Rest In Peace.
This is a classic Bernie Mac bit 😂🤣😂🤣😂. This was probably the one of first Def Comedy Jam episodes I had ever seen. I didn't have cable but saw it at a girl's house I was dating. On the Netflix "Phat Tuesday" doc I think either Chris Tucker or Bill Bellamy were talking about what led up to Bernie having Kid Capri drop the beat on his "kick it" line. Apparently, the previous comic was booed so badly, it was cut from the taping. Bernie Mac wanted to do something to get the crowd back on his side because the vibe was still low after all the booing. So had made arrangements with Kid Capri and "kick it" became synonymous with Bernie Mac in Def Comedy Jam history.
This world needs light. Some people pass and aside from a few tears the world for most stays the same. Then there are those that pass and the world gets a bit darker. Rip Bernie Mac, Rip Patrice Oneal, RIP Charlie Murphy.
I remember being at this performance and knew he was gonna be a star , Good thing about it back then, all these shows were free...alot of great comics started on DefJam...
His impact on the culture can never be forgotten. He was and in my memory will always be the biggest King of comedy. For my generation atleast Not to disregard anyone else. Rip Bernie wish you were still here genius comic.
..the brilliant bernie mack..in 1989 there was a comedy search in chicago..it was big..a couple of the wayan bros were hosting and the winner would go and be on hbo..my cousin Rodney Cozart was one of the three finalists..he finished second to bernie mack on the day his mother Geraldine Cozart was funeralized..he could only do 2 or 3 mins of his skit..he still finished second..Rodney Cozart was the funniest person I ever met..R I P Rodney..R I P Bernie..
Growing up I never understood why people said Steve always hated on Bernie and Bernie was just a way better comedian. But because of Steve being everywhere and being the face of Kings of Comedy I always thought it was the opposite like Steve was the king. As I got older I realized Bernie and Ced were the real Kings of that tour. R.I.P Legend.
Bernie had that tough NYC crowd in the palm of his hand.
RIP, Bernard McCollough (1957-2008)
Bernie was the King
some 20-30 odd years later he has me in the palm of his hand!
there’s Jesus Christ then Bernie Mac and then there’s …the rest of us humans!! 😂😂😂
Still laughing at "I ain't never had no pumpkin pie!" all of these years later...LOL
Pork n Pie

Agreed, he murdered from start to finish.
The comedian before him got Boooed off the stage that’s why he came out and saying I’m not scared of you motherfuckers and killed it

Like MJ in the 4th quarter… Mac handled that crowd like it was putty in his hands. A true master. No wonder Jerry Seinfeld said he was one of his all-time favorites and possibly TBE.
well he is right , but to me Jerry Seinfeld wasn't worth a damn , not funny at all
@@bigwillietheb really? I think Seinfeld is one of the greats and the show was funny af too. Bernie is one of the greats as well and his show is a classic as well. Both legends
It shocked me when he said that. Gained some respect from me!! Bernie and Martin are my all time favs...
@@mgonzalezjr1986 Seinfeld is one of the most overrated unfunny comics ever.
@@thedarksideoftheforce6658 how can you be overrated when your show is one of the biggest television hits of all-time??
“You don’t understand.....” Just starting off with that starts the greatest stand-up ever done. RIP Brother Mac.
Mystikal used that "oooh nothing" in 1 of his songs.
"I asked her whatcha doing? She said pooh nothing!". 🤣😂😂😆
Bernie was the man dudes was getting booed all night and he came up with this approach and killed it
BERNIE HADN'T GOTTEN BOOED, IT WAS ONE OF THE ACTS BEFORE HIM, HE WAS WORRIED SO HE CHANGED PART OF HIS SET AND CAME UP WITH THE RIFF "I AIN'T SCARED OF YOU MO FO'S"
This may have been the greatest Def Comedy Jam entrance ever
Hilarious was Bernie.. and the way he controlled kid Capri🤣🤣🤣
“ I ain’t never have no pumpkin pie” 😂😂
His crowd control was just amazing...RIP to the great. 🔥❤🙏🏾
It's wasn't always what he said, it was also the way he said it that made him hilarious. Rest in peace, Bernie.

#Facts
This may be his best set ever...
I disagree. This is definitely funny, but Bernie's funniest routine was the "Milk and Cookies" routine he did with the Kings Of Comedy. RIP B. Mac.
This set is up there top 10 maybe
Growing up in Kenya we grew up with Bernie mac .Rip legend! .He knew the NY crowd was hostile and he came out guns blazing on this crowd.

Believe what Mac said. STOP the VIOLENCE, then VOTE!!!
Had songs with the same title and it was a message often repeated in the 90's. Especially is real Hip Hop.
And now...
Oh well..
A legend he is. Long live the legacy of Bernie Mac.
He killed this 🔥 🔥...R.I.P to one of the greats!!
Love the timing, one of strongest timing based bits of our time. I totally remember seeing this when I was 15 and being blown away.
