Comedian Arnold Acevedo enthusiastically delivered his “all purpose doggie-style move” and other raunchy comedy on Friday at 7th Street Underground in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

Acevedo found humor even in something as serious as racial profiling. Acevedo is of Puerto Rican heritage, but he commented that people often cannot tell because of his relatively light skin. He quipped that being light-skinned, “comes in handy when the cops pull me over.”

The comedian got the audience involved by poking fun at interesting people in the crowd. A recurring target was a female who had her foot in the genital area of a male for the entire show. The audience roared with laughter at the absurdity of the situation.

Sex jokes played prominently in Acevedo’s routine. “Porn is as American as apple pie and baseball,” he said. “We (Americans) invented it.”

The “all purpose doggie-style move” was repeated often during the show. It involved the pseudo-humping of a chair. Acevedo complements the movement with self-performed porn film music effects.

Acevedo incorporated impersonations of celebrities, including Bill Clinton, Eddie Murphy, Sean Connery (as James Bond) and Elvis Crespo.

Acevedo directed a joke at Eastern students. He pointed out that Eastern is “a school were you don’t have to buy your books.” He said, “If you drop the class and you bring it back (the book), you don’t get any money back right? So if you’re an economics major don’t you automatically fail the class right there?” The joke earned delayed laughter.

Other joke topics included marijuana use, life in New York, Puerto Rican culture, humorous Spanish words and ordering Chinese food.

Some audience members thoroughly enjoyed the raunchy humor, while others thought that it was too vulgar.

“He was very funny,” said Maria Santoyo, a freshman elementary education major. However, at certain points she thought the profanity was “too much.”

Acevedo’s inspirations include Richard Pryor, Freddie Prinze Sr. rather than Jr. George Carlin, Jackie Gleason and Jerry Gleason.

His ultimate goal in comedy is to write and produce his own films. Acevedo said he gets most of his gigs at colleges.
