Katt Williams Pimpadelic (2009) Review

Katt Williams Pimpadelic (2009)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For a lot of fans of stand-up comedy when you hear that Katt Williams is coming out with a new DVD you get quite excited. In fact, if you're just a Katt Williams fan and not so big on other comedians the idea of a new Katt Williams video is awesome. But this particular DVD isn't exactly "new" if you've seen a lot of Katt Williams's material. In fact the footage is much older then some of his previous entries. The material is simply recycled with other footage off the stage.
Don't get me wrong. The material in the video is extremely funny, but if you already have "Katt Williams Live" DVD(which is also on Netflix online streaming) you do not need to pick up this DVD unless you need to own everything Katt Williams. Of course every comedian uses material over again. But the jokes have "all" been heard before(a few slightly altered). Not to mention the crowd from Cincinnati in "Katt Williams Live" is much better then the crowd from Washington DC in this video.
The idea that some guy in the crowd thought a peripheral was a car is funny, not to mention the joke seems improvised. Not this time around.

The country s hottest comedian, Katt Williams (First Sunday, Norbit, Friday After Next), is best known for his laugh-out-loud comedic style and outlandish personality. But what you don t get to see is the real Katt. Pimpadelic features Katt performing some of his funniest material in front of a sold-out crowd in Washington D.C. and an extensive rare and never-before seen interview where Katt talks intimately about his family, career, god, his future and the state of the comedy business. This is a must see for every true Katt Williams fan! Pimpadelic also includes a 15-minute never-before-seen bonus performance unearthed from Katt s personal vault plus 5 bonus clips from one of Katt s lost concert tapes. This DVD is jam packed with funny!

Lewis Black - Unleashed (2003) Review

Lewis Black - Unleashed (2003)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I first became familiar with Lewis Black from his appearances on the "Opie and Anthony" radio show before ever seeing him on "The Daily Show" or his comedy performances. I finally got a chance to see one of his specials on Comedy Central and was laughing hysterically. This guy is extremely full of anger and energy, and knows how to take no prisoners. "Lewis Black Unleashed" is a fine introduction for those who aren't yet familiar with his stand-up.
The DVD contains four half-hour specials that broadcasted on Comedy Central (one of them being called, "Taxed Beyond Belief"). He's a very topical comedian that doesn't do the "usual" stand-up gig. He talks about politics, the state of the country, scandals, idiotic people and much more. Once he gets going on a rant, he never stops. And the great thing about this guy is that he attacks EVERYONE. This isn't a democratic comedian who only attacks the Republicans; nor is he a Republican who attacks only Democrats. He attacks ALL OF THEM--regardless of who's in which party.
Lewis Black reminds me a lot of the late Bill Hicks (and that's a good thing). He definitely has a "Hicks" influence in him--not saying that his delivery isn't original. On the contrary, he has a certain style that works for him and would not work for anybody else. He's always on target and never misses a beat when it comes to delivering the goods.
Aside from the four half-hour features, the DVD also includes Black's commentary on the Democratic National Convention and the Republican National Convention. While there's not a lot of extras, that's to be expected with a DVD like this. It's a lot more impressive than most. Hopefully he will come out with a full hour special that's uncensored sometime in the near future.
"Lewis Black Unleashed" does a superb job of showcasing this very funny comedian's talents. He's mad, he's bitter--and he's downright hilarious! If you've never seen him perform before, be sure to give this DVD a try. While the specials are only a half-hour long each, it still makes an entertaining viewing. -Michael Crane

My colleagues and I went to see this show live. If you have seen the 45 mins video online that has been circulating for a while, you are going to love this one as well.
This is new material, and very funny. He talks about many ethnic groups, makes fun of them, and knows how to make fun of himself. His accents are impeccable and if you have been exposed to any Asian cultures - you are up for an awesome treat.
I have sent it to already 5 friends (oh yeah, buy the DVD..Support him)

Nick Swardson: Seriously, Who Farted? (2009) Review

Nick Swardson: Seriously, Who Farted (2009)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Nick Swardson, the popular young comedian known for his roles as Terry Bernadino on "Reno 911!", his film "Grandma's Boy" (which he co-wrote) and appearances in films such as "Art School Confidential", "The Benchwarmers", "Blades of Glory", "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" and more.
With the release of his Comedy Central DVD "Seriously, Who Farted?", Swardson takes on the following topics of enjoying things much more when he's drunk such as fast food, to topics of playing XBOX 360 with his buddies and cussing and people around the complex thinking he is shooting gay porn and weed. For the most part, a lot of the comedy is about having a good time and having fun with his friends, getting drunk and comedy that definitely targets the college and young adult crowd. The Austin, Texas crowd was very receptive and supportive and definitely Swardson fed off that that energy that night.
The following is the chapter listing for "Seriously, Who Farted?""
* Intro
* Booze is Magic
* Gay?
* Weed is Dope
* Pot Brownies
* Old Lady Hand Job
* Ninja Job
* UFC
* Blades of Glory
* Monkeys
* Being Old People Part 2
VIDEO & AUDIO:
Video is featured in widescreen. Swardson's comedy routine is well-lighted and although backgrounds are kept simple, the good thing thing is that the comedy does show quite a bit of audience reaction with good shots at the audience. Camera angles are either close up, body shot, at various positions towards the audience and way up high above the audience. Editing is well-done. Not dizzying at all. Camera angle stays on the comedian for most of the time.
Audio is featured in Dolby Digital. I opted to have my receiver set at stereo on all channels in order to have the audio all around me. But audio is understandable and clear. Audience laughter is also quite clear and doesn't disturb Swardson's performance.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
"Nick Swardson - Seriously, Who Farted?" comes with the following special features:
* Opening Act: Beardo & Dirt Nasty - (7:39) Known for their narcotic/drug/sex-inspired music videos on "Funny or Die", Beardo & Dirt Nasty open Swardson's comedy show by performing a rock and a hip hop song.
* 28 Drinks Later - (2:44) A trailer for a zombie film (or just a trailer) about Swardson and a few people who get drunk at a bar and awaken to find the whole city of Los Angeles turning to drunk zombies due to alcohol consumption.
* Nick Swardson: Timeless Comedian - (7:12) Frazier Smith interviews Nick Swardson about his comedy and showcases his stand-up comedy since the 1920's.
* A Very Terry Christmas - (2:21) Featuring Swardson's "Reno 911' gay, roller skating character Terry singing Christmas songs.
JUDGMENT CALL:
Nick Swardson's comedy DVD "Seriously, Who Farted?" definitely showcases the comedian's love for beer and alcohol. He loves it, repeats it and his comedy routine definitely works. Especially for the audience who go crazy when he talks about alcohol or drugs. College humor at its finest, I have to admit that I was so used to seeing Swardson on film and television that I never really seen his comedy routine. I knew he was a funny guy but I didn't know he was a comedian.
But watching "Seriously, Who Farted?", I couldn't help but laugh repeatedly. His comedy is definitely understandable and can be easily appreciated by those familiar with the topics he discusses and the fact that he uses certain situations that reach a young crowd, discussions of XBOX 360 or Nintendo Wii is one thing, but for audiences who have been in a drunk stupor, are familiar with pot brownies, Asian massage parlors, UFC, ninjas and can laugh quite easily at monkeys, definitely will find Swardson's comedy DVD to be quite fun and refreshing.
Sure, there are many drunk comedians but Swardson's comedy is quite hilarious because he's like the guy next door, the guy you went to college with, the guy you partied with... And I think what makes him so different from other comedians is the wacky roles he plays on films such as the gay skater in "Reno 911', the guy who lives at home and never has success with women in "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" or the Dance Dance Revolution gamer in "Grandma's Boy". Supporting roles that are just hilarious to watch and Swardson himself is just a funny comedian that will definitely make you laugh, pee in your pants or make you feel that you're going to bust a gut. It's that hilarious!
As for a Comedy Central DVD, you get the good camera angles but it would have been extra nice if this DVD release had been given the treatment of an audio CD (like Comedy Central's Russell Peters DVD release) because this is the kind of comedy that you would want to listen to in long commutes.
Overall, Swardson's "Seriously, Who Farted?" is a hilarious comedy DVD worth checking out!

I got the chance to preview Alex Borstein's new stand-up act Drop Dead
Gorgeous and it's nothing short of drop dead hilarious. She is a
natural on stage who is as funny as she is original. Her material is
new, fresh, genuinely funny, and while it's plenty raunchy, she doesn't
rely on that for laughs. It's great to get to see Alex in action, in
real life as opposed to her animated work as Lois on Family Guy.
She imitates, she sings, she dances (some would call that dancing
others....well) and everyone is a potential target. A MUST buy for all
Family Guy and Borstein fans. And if you're not yet a Borstein fan,
you're about to be...

She's smart, she's irreverent, and she's hilariously raunchy! Alex Borstein created some of Mad TV's most memorable characters, and she's one of the twisted minds behind Fox's hugely success Family Guy. Now you can see her skewer Hollywood in a "screamingly funny" (CBS Radio) stand-up performance on DVD for the first time ever. A must-own for Family Guy fans.

Mitch Fatel: Mitch Fatel Is Magical (2009) Review

Mitch Fatel: Mitch Fatel Is Magical (2009)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
One can expect sexually perversion at an all time high on this Comedy Central DVD. "Sex". Mitch Fatel's comedy revolves 100% around it and he never strays.
Known for his comedic delivery (ie. he sounds like he's mentally challenged), Mitch Fatel is a comedian who loves women, loves breasts and loves sex. In fact, he'll let you know several times about his love for women and their bodyparts and getting laid.
His comedy is literally uncensored and he spares no one from the audience as he will talk about his love for breasts, big and small. His love for the vagina, sexual positions, sexual garments, using his popularity to get women, and literally sex this and sex that.It's literally a sex-driven comedy act and again, for Fatel it has worked successfully for him. His popularity has led to two comedy albums "Miniskirts & Muffins" and "Super Retardo" and now, here we are with his comedy special on DVD extended and uncut!
Fatel shows no worries or hesitation about the things he will discuss. From bestiality, what he finds on the Internet to having sex with a woman having her period. Fatel is literally not afraid to discuss sexual taboos and not afraid to use himself as the guinea pig for his jokes and the crowd loves it.
The track list for "Mitch Fatel is Magical" goes into several topics. Here is the DVD track listings:
1. The Pre-Sex Warning
2. Girls Like Me Now
3. Sex with Horses
4. Super Famous
5. Candycane
6. The Panty-Pull-Aside Move
VIDEO & AUDIO:
"Mitch Fatel is Magical" is presented in Widescreen. Camera shots are either typically up front and some focusing on the audience in the front row (who will occasionally be used in Fatel's comedy routine). Another camera behind the audience but overall, several camera angles and good editing make the comedy fluid and smooth. No special effects or crazy use of editing during the whole hour.
As for audio, audio is presented in English Stereo and English 5.1 Surround. For the most part, dialogue is easy to understand and is front and center channel driven. I preferred to watch the the DVD with my receiver set to stereo on all channels for a better, more immersive sound with the audience.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
"Mitch Fatel is Magical" comes with the following special features:
* Mitch is a Big Star - (:47) A deleted scene with Mitch Fatel getting upset with his water.
* Mitch is Photogenic - (:57) Behind-the-scenes on photographing the cover and main menu for the DVD.
* Mitch is Imitated - (2:43) Members of the audience tries to pretend to be Mitch Fatel.
* Mitch is Perverted - (1:08) Members of the audience talk about Mitch Fatel's perversion.
* Mitch is Reviewed - (:51) Members of the audience reviews Mitch Fatel's show (while the cameraman has his eyes on other things).
* Mitch is Talented - (2:29) Members of the audience talk about how talented and funny Mitch Fatel is. And also audience talking about how Mitch Fatel would be in bed.
* Mitch is Animated - (1:03) A comedy segment of Mitch Fatel discussing matching bra and panties with a FLASH based animation going along with the audio.
JUDGMENT CALL:
This is probably the raunchiest Comedy Central DVD that I have seen so far. But for the most part, I found it hilarious and entertaining.
Rarely do you find comedians who focus on sex only for their comedy act but Mitch Fatel has made it a career and it has worked. Most of the time, when a comedian gets into discussion about sex, the audience starts feeling a bit timid (especially for those that bring their kids to an adult comedy show) but in this case, this is strictly adult humor at its finest.
Mitch Fatel has no problems discussing his love for women and sex that nothing is left out. He'll get comedy about everything...the breasts, the vagina, the butt...you name it, his comedy routine has included it.
Needless to say, it all comes down to whether or not you're into this style of comedy. In a way, I was skeptical before because typically other comedians who have tried to do a comedy routine with more than 15-minutes based on sex, it just seems as if it didn't fit into their routine or that the audience was not feeling it. But the thing is, with Mitch Fatel...knowing that his comedy is 100% sex-driven, you know what you're going to get and just watch and have a good time.
Overall, "Mitch Fatel is Magical" is absolutely perverted...and satisfaction is guaranteed!

Is that a sparkle in his eye or is he just confused? With his innocence and friendly demeanor, Mitch quickly engages the audience and then catches them off guard with his mixture of mischievous dialogue and off color comments. While laughing at observations only Mitch can get away with we are left wondering if he truly understands what he just said. We never really know.

Don't get me wrong, I think John Pinette is the Funniest Man on Earth. I saw the edited version of this DVD last night on Comedy Central. John is repeating too much material from his prior DVD and CD. Great stuff, very funny, but I say NAY NAY---you've done it before, John! You need more new material.
