Title: I couldn't breathe!
Review: There were times during these performances that I laughed so hard, I couldn't breathe. You get 8 performances, which would have been half hour shows with commercial breaks, so it is an excellent value. Some are better than others, all are worth the look. Enjoy, then buy full-length performances of your favorites.

Title: good
Review: a lot of popular comics on this dvd. if you follow these guys then youve probably heard these jokes before bc this is when they were just starting out and of course comics repeat all their good jokes in future shows. its not the best you will see them but its fun to see them so young and new. it was worth the what, $10? i paid for it.

Title: Not as good as the first...
Review: I'm a huge stand-up comedy buff. I love it. And when I saw the next iteration of uncensored comics from Comedy Central, I grabbed it up quick.I'll give a quick run-down by comic:Dave Attell is frankly far too old to be telling this line of dirty jokes. He comes across as a creepy, pathetic old man who's long outlived the youthful exuberance he tries to portray. He's funny - don't get me wrong - but often times you find yourself laughing at HIM, not his jokes...Mike Birbiglia is the opposite in every way. Mike has a real soft spoken approach to comedy. He's very clean - could pass for religious comedy - and is probably the most enjoyable comic on the disc. Don't get me wrong - I'm not offended by lewd humor or language - I just think it takes skill to do it properly. Birbiglia avoids it altogether. In many ways he comes across as somewhat sterile, especially when compared to the other comics on this disc, but he's still funny in his own right, and that's okay with me.Daniel Tosh is one of those guys who I imagine most people are pretty polar over - they love him or hate him (or in the words of the late Mitch Hedburg, "think he's O.K...") I enjoy him, though you really have to approach him with an open mind. He can range anywhere from downright insulting to surprisingly self-loathing, and you never know how a joke will end-up. He's a little raw, but in general he's pretty funny - and often hard to argue with!Frank Caliendo is pretty well known and he's pretty funny here, except that a handful of his references and impersonations come from movies or other content which I'm unfamiliar with. So whereas some of his jokes will have you shooting milk from your nose, others become yawners simply because you don't know who he's talking about. It's a fantastic finish however, with a reference that any Chris Farley fan will hurt themselves laughing over.Zach Galifianakis has three funny jokes in his entire repertoire. One is regarding his brother and a Ford Focus, the other regarding Zach's appearance and Chucky Cheese, and the last regarding a sister with multiple personalities. Two of those jokes are present here. (One of these two as well as the other are on his Live at the Purple Onion DVD...) Other than that, Zach just simply isn't funny. I'm actually often offended by Zach - not by the content of his jokes, but the pathetic way in which he delivers them in an effort to be funny simply by slinging around swear words. In a nutshell, he sucks, and I regret the money I've wasted on him.I'm a pretty solid Stephen Lynch fan - his first Comedy Central appearance was hilarious - enough so that I actually learned a few of his songs on guitar, and my college A Capella group even performed one or two of his songs. This performance is much more dark, and - if censored, becomes nothing more than a beep-a-palooza. He's funny, but it's not something you can share with your parents or younger children. I missed his satirical and unexpected humor of the first performance, and ultimately felt disappointed with this one.Nick Swardson also appears in his second for-DVD appearance. Much like Stephen's, it's funny without reaching the quality of the first. In fact, judging from his "Seriously: Who Farted" curse-fest, it seems that Swardson is in a serious downhill trend... His performance overall is forgettable - in fact I can't remember any of his jokes as I type this...And lastly, Patton Oswalt. Patton is a unique comic. He uses what I call a snowball approach - starting off with a nugget of an idea and then just throwing it mercilessly downhill to see what it turns into before slamming it into a heavily populated area... Sometimes it pays off with a glorious arrival to hilarity in a way that's forever memorable. Other times it just spirals out of control and leaves you - and most of his audience - feeling oddly uncomfortable. He - like Caliendo - also uses several references which are often unfamiliar and ruin the validity of the entire joke - or snowball - whichever the case may be.What you end up with overall is a hum-drum DVD that fails to inspire. The few shining moments aren't worth the dull ones, and whereas most of my Stand-up DVD's enjoy MANY repeated playthroughs, this one will undoubtedly collect dust.

Title: Excellent
Review: Outstanding collection for anyone to try and extend their variety in stand-up comedy. Includes many, now famous, comedians back when they weren't so famous and the jokes and styles were truly original.

Review: This DVD offers quite a variety of great stand-up. However, Comedy Central should have added a warning on the box. "Warning--Stephen Lynch lies herein. He died onstage, and now you can watch him die again."If you enjoy extremely leftist comedians, then please buy this video because you will enjoy Stephen Lynch. Otherwise, skip Stephen Lynch when you watch this compilation of comedians. (If do decide to go ahead and give Stephen Lynch a try, look for a certain male member of the audience during Lynch's song about Lynch's grandfather. The audience member gives a look like, "When the HECK is this thing going to be over?")
