Plot

Paving the path of audacious humor, Sam Kinison: Breaking All The Rules, marks a milestone in the realm of comedy. This HBO Special is a celebration, not just for the longstanding fans, but also for the newcomers, of a comedic genius who has effortlessly etched his name onto Comedy Central's All-Time Top 20 Stand-Up Comedians list, alongside VH-1's Top Comedians list. Kinison, with his unique brand of comedy, positioned himself in a league of his own, creating ripples across the comedy landscape. This thrilling comedy special is more than just a collection of jokes; it's an experience that will leave a Kinison enthusiast awe-struck and is an absolute must-have for any comedy connoisseur. As Robin Williams aptly put it, "Sam was the cuddly anti-Christ." His humor was raw and unfiltered, pushing boundaries like no other, as Larry King observed. Kinison was not just a comedian, but a force of nature that "scared the hell out of you," according to Jay Leno, while being the "funniest comedian." His no-holds-barred approach to comedy, as Richard Pryor stated, meant that "Sam took no prisoners." He was a beacon of "outrage," as Tim Matheson noted, but his brilliance shone through, making him "one of our generation's greatest stand-up comics," in the words of Howard Stern. Johnny Carson regarded him as "one of my all-time favorite comics," while Tom Lykis acknowledged him as "outrageous, bright, and absolutely screamed the truth." Sam Kinison: Breaking All The Rules is a tribute to an “absolute comic genius,” as Rodney Dangerfield described him, whose voice reverberates across the comedy sphere, echoing with laughter, truth, and outrage.
