Summary: Not so uncensored after All
Review: I beg to differ with reviews that claim that this DVD is completely uncensored. While it does show full-frontal male nudity and several topless women, it stops short once the female genitalia are displayed. During the so-called "Uncensored Deleted Scenes", a lovely lass from Key West gets carried away and shows her all to the camera. Her breasts are shown, but her nether region is blurred out. This is uncensored? The last time I checked, that meant "not censored". If this sequence could not be shown in it's entirety, why include it at all? Especially in a section claiming to be uncensored? It is interesting that a prolonged scrotum piercing and a cow insemination are ok, but a vagina is not.

The DVD is very entertaining and will not disappoint from a comedic standpoint, but, on principal, it should deliver what it promises and it does not.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I admit it...I bought this for one particular thing...
Review: I felt compelled to get this one for two reasons: 1)Because I bought the first one and 2)because this one had the thing that I was kind of hoping the first one would have had...namely the Maine episode, in which Dave ends up at a leather bar, meets a lot of "bears" (look it up, I'm not explaining this one here), and witnesses live genital piercing! Sadly, there wasn't really as much to the uncensored version as I had hoped (you see more male exposure in the Key West episode, also on this DVD), but still...

I like INSOMNIAC, because if you're going to wander around a major city at night, you might as well do it with a really funny guy who likes to drink...and Dave definitely fits that description. Wonder if he's ever gonna do a Wichita episode?

Summary: Dave Attell has more to offer in this uncensored Insomniac.
Review: Insomniac with Dave Attell Uncensored Volume 2, is by far a much improved disc collection. Once again Dave takes us to ten cities and stays up all night 'til morning sun to show you what happens while most people are asleep. Of course, he visits numerous crazy bars, some with male frontal nudity and many topless females too. Dave also walks the streets to talk to some interesting or uninteresting people. Some like to expose themselves to Dave or just for the camera. Dave also visits a cemetary, a skating center with roller derby girls, a Mardi Gras parade in Key West, a tortilla making place, Alaska Solstice Celebration, shark fishing, sex playrooms, night time skiing, piercing, cow milking, fishing at Ship Creek, Isle of Capri Casino, undergroud coal mining, live sex show, cannibis & juice shop, legal prostitution and much more. Cities include, Key West, Florida. Austin, Texas. Miami, Florida. Boise, Idaho. Anchorage, Alaska. Kansas City, Missouri. Charleston, West Virginia. Amsterdam, Netherlands. Las vegas, Nevada. New York City, New York. Episodes are from 2001-2003. What was blurred out on television on the Comedy Central cable channel is all shown for all to see on this uncensored 2-disc set.

Summary: "I think I'll go with the 'AK-47'!"
Review: It's probably the sign of a character flaw, but if I channel surf onto Comedy Central's "Insomniac," I'm stuck there, watching, till the show ends. I may have a downright snobby attitude toward 'reality TV,' but I'm strangely almost always in the mood to watch an episode of "Insomniac."

Part travelogue, part "how things work" program and part bar crawl, "Insomniac" follows the hard-drinking but ever-amiable comedian Dave Attell as he prowls various cities after dark. He hits nightclubs, factories, festivals, tourist spots - basically any place where people are doing stuff while the general populace is asleep.

"The Best of Insomniac Uncensored Volume Two" compiles some of the series' best episodes, visits to ten cities including Anchorage, Boise, Key West, Miami and Austin, Tx. In some of the shows' better bits, Attell clubs around Amsterdam with a cheesy old buddy (who has apparently become a huge TV star in the Netherlands), tours a bustling Las Vegas pawn shop and catches up with his sister, who fronts a rock band in New York.

The two-disk set presents the shows without the many bleeps and blurs that make the TV versions safe for mass consumption, and some of the episodes come with commentaries (with Attell and the show's producers) that reveal in humorous detail that the show is not nearly as easy to make as it seems.

Summary: I need medical attention
Review: Oh my!! This has some fantastic episodes, far better than the first dvd release. Episodes include Vegas, Amsterdam, Key West, Miami, Boise, Kansas City, Anchorage, Charleston, Austin, and NYC (the one with his sister). 5 of the episodes of from the current 4th season.

The audio commentary is pretty funny, gives you the background on what was going on off the camera. If you watch the show, and enjoy it, this dvd is a must.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: LOLOLOL
Review: Started watching last summer and instantly hooked.

For those who want to see what his show is about, buy/rent Vol 2, 10x as better than the Vol 1 set.
