The Ultimate Jew Live On Broadway

Jackie Mason is a love him or hate him stand-up comic. You also either can or can’t understand Mason’s mumbled Jewish accent. This is not the case with his last stand-up comedy DVD, Jackie Mason The Ultimate Jew Live on ... More

Bewitched Season 8 - Final Season

I really do not remember seeing the season 8 Bewitched episodes in syndication. This situation comedy DVD box set features the last 26 episodes of this family friendly sitcom. Though a lot of the episodes in this sitcom’s final season ... More

Saturday Night Stand-up - The Comedy Network - July 4th 2009

I was irked and miffed when the Comedy Network bumped the Drew Hastings Comedy Central special a couple of months ago. I like Hastings a lot and liked the idea other stand-up comedy fans would get to see him. The ... More

Being Adam Hunter

Being Adam Hunter is a decent stand-up comedy CD. Hunter is a comic who specializes in very loosely tied usually rapid fire one-liners. Most of these jokes are good to very funny but the occasional standard comedy club fare joke ... More

Poland - It's Spring, Sergeant - Wiona, panie sierzancie

Do not let the low picture quality of the opening credits to It’s Spring, Sergeant – Wiona, panie sierzancie turn you off. The print quality gets much better but does not rise above that of an often watched VHS. This ... More

Donald Trump's Hair

With lines like "my asshole is working that's why I keep him" it's not difficult to figure out that there might be some issues with men in Kacey Jones' life. Comics in general are a dysfunctional lot and Jones take ... More

Spaceballs Blu-ray and DVD set

Mel Brooks is an uneven filmmaker. The Producers, the brilliant Silent Movie, and History of the World Part 1 are his best comedies. Spaceballs is a notch below on that list with Robin Hood Men in Tights and Young Frankenstein. ... More

The Pink Panther 2 Blu-ray

We are all influenced by word of mouth. A good example is Steve Martin’s The Pink Panther 2. Now on Blu-ray, this slapstick physical comedy is a lot better than I expected it to be. In fact, Pink Panther 2 ... More

Confessions of a Shopaholic

“A man will never love you or treat you as well as a store and a store always smell good” is an opening line in Confessions of a Shopaholic, a chick flick romantic comedy DVD. I guess (the verb, not ... More

Get Smart Season 3 DVD Set

86 gets eighty-sixed by 86 on Get Smart Season 3. The 4 DVD 26 episode set proves this situation comedy has not lost its charm, humor, or freshness thirty years later. Season 3 features some of the best shows in ... More

Comics Without Borders - Season One

I like a variety pack stand-up comedy DVD and this is what you get with VSC’s Comics Without Borders Season One. Host Russell Peters introduces 18 comics who all get their fifteen minutes to impress the TV and DVD audience. ... More

The Comedy Network - Saturday Night Stand-up 06/27/09 10 P.M.

Jeffrey Ross is a decent stand-up comic best known for his Comedy Central Roast appearances. Ross goes back home to New Jersey for this stand-up comedy special. It airs as part of the Saturday Night Stand-up series on The Comedy ... More

Baby On Board Blu-ray

I have not come across this brutal a comedy, ever. Baby On Board Blu-ray is a 95 minute long series of mean spirited gags, dead jokes, and supposedly comic situations even a drunk frat brother would not find funny. The ... More

Sebastian Maniscalco

A full stand-up comedy performance by Sebastian goes down a lot better than just a clip of a routine. Having seen bits of this comic on various shows like Comics Without Borders and a Just For Laughs Gala, Sebastian Maniscalco ... More

Mr. Troop Mom - Blu-ray

Nickelodeon’s Mr. Troop Mom is a family comedy squarely aimed at tween girls. As such, it pushes all the necessary buttons: bubbly heroines, clearly bad nemesis, bubblegum pop background music, and lots of references aimed at its young girl audience. ... More

Poland - H.M. Deserters / C.K. Dezertezy

I did not get all of the jokes in H.M. Deserters as many of them are culture centered but it is nothing that really gets in the way of enjoying what is basically an absurd army comedy. There are many ... More

National Lampoon Live Un-Scripted with Frank Caliendo

This stand-up comedy CD has something going for it and a strike against it. I like buffet style stand-up shows and this is one of those. I bears the National Lampoon monicker, basically a kiss of death when it comes ... More

Corner Gas - Season 6 DVD Set

Season 6 of the greatest Canadian sitcom ever is finally available. The Corner Gas DVD set features all 19 episodes of the last season plus extra features on 3 DVD. “Greatest Canadian situation comedy” ever is somewhat faint praise so ... More
