Chris Rock on Columbine kids video routine

Chris Rockâ??s stand up comedy Bigger & Blacker, taped in 1999 is one of the most comprehensive stand up comedy show, talking about the late 90s biggest issues, like: Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, Gun Control, Gays in the Military, Doctors and Medcine, Taxes and Insurance and also the Columbine kids.

In this Chris Rock stand up comedy routine, the comedian takes a poke at the Columbine kids, having perhaps the most insightful line :

â??Everybody wants to know what the kids was listening to. What kind of music was they listening to? Or what kind of movies was they watching? Who gives a fuck what they was watching? Whatever happened to crazy? What happened to crazy? What, you can't be crazy no more? Did we eliminate ''crazy'' from the dictionary? Fuck the records. Fuck the movies. Crazy!â?.

This is one of the biggest talents of Chris Rock, to succeed in making you laugh even at the most horrifying topics.

You can watch below the Columbine kids routine and read the transcript, but you can also watch free online Chris Rockâ??s stand up Bigger & Blacker full, in out Stand Up Comedy Concerts section.

You know, l was just in my hotel, a little while ago, on my way here...and l got in the elevator, right? l'm getting in the elevator...and these two high-school white boystry to get on with me...and l just dove off. l said, ''Y'all ain't killing me!''l am scared of young white boys.

lf you white and under l am running for the hills. What the hell is wrong with these white kids shooting up the school? They don't even wait till  :   either. Killing people in the morning. That ain't right.

The Trenchcoat Mafia. ''No one will play with us.''We have no friends. We're the Trenchcoat Mafia.

''Hey, l saw the yearbook pictures. lt was six of them. l didn't have six friends in high school.l don't got six friends now. Shit, that's three-on-three with a half court. What the hell is wrong with these kids?

l got people telling me, ''Come on, Chris. Come up to a school. Talk to the kids.'' l'm like, ''Fuck the kids! ''Do you got a vest? Maybe l'll think about it.

''Everybody wants to know what the kids was listening to. What kind of music was they listening to? Or what kind of movies was they watching? Who gives a fuck what they was watching? Whatever happened to crazy? What happened to crazy? What, you can't be crazy no more? Did we eliminate ''crazy'' from the dictionary? Fuck the records. Fuck the movies. Crazy!

When l was a kid, they used to separate the crazy kids from everybody.  When l was a kid, the crazy kids went to school in a little-ass bus. They had a class at the end of the school...and they used to get out of school at  :Just in case they went crazy...they would only hurt other crazy kids. And we was all safe. We was all safe.

Damn, the world's coming to an end. You'll have little white kids saying: ''l want to go to a black school where it's safe.''

That's right, man.
