SiNbAd: Brain Damaged (Part 1)

Sinbad's HBO Special 1990

[@TiffanieD]

My guy Sinbad was wearing biking shorts and a fanny pack. Gotta love the early 90's.

[@Nebulung]

Sinbad is a treasure. One of the best stand-ups ever and nostalgia for the early 90s.

[@TheTrueFranchise]

holy shit I forgot how funny this is! As soon as he walks out he redoes his own intro. Oh man, glad I found this. I'll be watching this tonight instead of the world ending. Mad props for putting this up!

[@LuClipse85]

Oh. My GOD! I can't thank you ENOUGH for posting the beginning to this one! I'd seen the show before on Comedy Central, but I NEVER saw the opening. I always came in late. I LOVED how he redid the beginning and turned it into a dance party! INGENIUS! LMAO! I was surprised he could even WALK after all that dancing, let alone breathe. Again, thanks a million for posting this! -Peace!

[@youmomo1212]

Thank you so much for posting this. I had a VHS copy I recorded off HBO when it first aired that two friends of mine borrowed and ended up wanting as their wedding gift about 6 years ago, which I reluctantly gave them knowing it's not available on DVD. Hope one day it will be. I can't even find a torrent on this. Anyway, this is my favorite stand-up act ever! Thanks again!

[@JDHarrellJ8]

Crazy! That's when the fellas used to run the dance floors. Now we just 2 step lol

[@CarDietrich]

Sinbad is still one of my all time favorite comedians. I remember watching this special on Comedy Central reruns back in the day.

[@Slimer2x3]

Now THATS an introduction, lol!

[@376ironman]

I miss the 90's!! Imo, it was the best decade! Sinbad can make you pee on yourself with clean comedy!! Get well soon!!!

[@DoUWanna007]

...yessss..I used to dance like that...now I need oxygen...LOL

[@MySherry10]

I love sinbad my favorite comedian no cursing and can make you deep that deep belly laugh where your almost crying , He is naturally funny and talented

[@cathridge]

I used to have this on tape. I never thought it was that funny but this opening was tight. His later shows were much funnier. "Afros & Bell-bottoms" especially and many of his old school cruise shows I have on tape are hilarious.

[@LadyGina65]

I really wish this was available on dvd, thanx Cali350 for posting these. I can watch them over and over again!

[@slberry205]

I remember watching this on TV when I was a kid...I didn't even have cable it came on regular tv it must have been 93 or 94 I was 6 or 7 it came on UPN I believe lol...this is classic

[@Slikrik1212]

1:01 They give him a key to the city, and he gives the mayor the key to his Honda!...LOL!!!

His dancers remind me of Powerline from "A Goofy Movie".

[@cims1ty640]

[@killswitchred19]

"Save some for the children" at 1:57. Because of Sinbad, I still to this day, use that saying :)

[@fs9842]

[@lagrimas24]

[@johnthompson5319]

[@PrettyBoysMom]

Icon!!! 💚

[@garythierfelder5514]

Sinbad..I love you man..even if I'm white with black and your black with white

[@LadellTurner]

Sinbad was getting down.

[@matrixinterface]

Can you imagine if you were one of the dancers and one of your kids found this video of you... their only hope is that the camera doesn't get close enough to I.D. them. But the guy at 5:30 is condemned to a life of explaining that he was trying to work his way through college or something.

[@Rorix9]

I want that entire outfit!

[@SandMaxxPayne]

Sinbad used to be able to move. Now he has hip and knee problems

[@WillyM79]

[@RaceIsOpen]

[@mjsedlacek1]

Can you get the song he danced to on this video? I know its "Ive Got the Power" but do you know where you can get that version?

[@fall98]

Why he send the band all over the place like that LOL!

[@tellemtrev]

The 90s is just getting further away Smh

[@ThrillerKiller77]

[@benmcdaniel]

Other comedians don't "rely on cursing to be funny," they just use the English language in a normal way.

[@iplay88atchurch]

@hopecandecieve I so agree, he can mak you laugh. His comedy is smart, he doesn't rely on cussing to make his jokes prove a point.

[@1fedorable]

Anyone know what this "The Power" version is called? I can't find it anywhere!

[@chake46]

If I heard right this is The Power by Snap. The original version.

[@iplay88atchurch]

@SinCityLegend007 That's how it was in the 80's baby!

[@InitialSHE]

@hopecandecieve I totally agree! I'm not old enough to have appreciated Sinbad's comedy while it was current, but I ab
