Summary: We took the longest possilbe route!
Review: Jerry Seinfeld is simply amazing on stage. The jokes he tells and the way he tells them are a credit to his talent. The non-existent profanity shows that he doesn’t have to swear to get a joke over like many comedians do. After watching the DVD I had to go back and watch the horse chapter at least 4 times. This is definitely the funniest part of the DVD.

If you liked Seinfeld you’ll definitely like this.
If you didn’t like Seinfeld you’ll still probably like this.

I recommend it to everyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Funniest Movie Ever!
Review: This is the funniest stand up comedy Ive seen in a long time. I have this DVD and Jerry Seinfeld's "Stand Up Confidential" but this one is much better. I watched it several times and I still laughed even the third and fourth time around. You should definetely get this on DVD or video!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good enough if you listen to the audio.
Review: Seinfeld's jokes are all old, he's got no new material, but this is not what he promised anyway. He is burying old material.

The thing is, you can just listen to the audio, for his skill lies in his intonations. Or perhaps we got used to his limited range of expressions in his tv series.

But if you're not a serious fan whoi has seen most of his work, get the DVD, you won't regret it. He's funny enough.

Nothing much inthe way of extras in the DVD except for a short Q&A which shows him handling a crowd. Not too bad.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Classic Seinfeld humor
Review: Jerry Seinfeld is just plain funny, although his brand of humor probably doesn't appeal to some people. He uses some of the most mundane things in life for his material, yet I somehow consider him to possess an intellectual sort of humor. The Seinfeld you get in this performance is basically the same Seinfeld Americans laughed with on television for nine years. A lot of the jokes are familiar, and even those that aren't tend to sound as if they are. I don't think every joke was delivered perfectly in this show, but the consistency of the humor from start to finish is undeniable. The opening is a pretty good one, featuring Seinfeld burying all of his old comedy material in a coffin while some of comedy's big names mourn their loss. Onstage, he jokes about a myriad of topics including airport security, New York cab drivers, old folks in Florida, grocery stores, doctors and medicine, horses, etc. Naturally, there is some material on men and women and the differences between them. While there are a couple of jokes with a somewhat mature theme, by and large Seinfeld's comedy can be enjoyed by young and old alike. The segment about trick-or-treating as a kid and being driven by a constant need for candy would be my pick of the litter in terms of inherent laughs.

It really doesn't matter that much if you've already heard these jokes along the way-who hasn't heard the infomercial/Ginsu knife bit before? Seinfeld's delivery makes you want to laugh no matter what. I was a little surprised at the end, though. I was expecting a big joke to end the night with, and then out of the blue Seinfeld thanked the audience and wandered offstage. Naturally, he does make an encore appearance, this type agreeing to answer questions hurled at him from the audience. I enjoyed this segment to some degree, but it wasn't as funny as a few more minutes of scripted comedy would have been. It also seemed rather choppy because it necessarily had to have some filler and dead spots edited out for continuity.

This one is really pretty simple: if you were a fan of Seinfeld's television show and delight in his quirky kind of humor, you will certainly enjoy this tape and will no doubt want to watch it on more than one occasion.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not as good as the CD
Review: The CD version is obviously taken from a different show because the jokes are slightly different and the DVD version has a terrible audience. The jokes are funny but this isnt the best version of the show.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious!!!!!
Review: Jerry Seinfeld is quite possibly the greatest commedian to ever grace this Earth. This DVD is filled with classic Seinfeldian skits and observations. Even if you've heard these bits over and over, the laughter never fades. Poor Jerry, though, it seems that he was shot with a lazer pointer during one of his first bits. Picture and sound are only TV quality, however. Not much behind the scenes or special features (it's more like a VHS tranferred to DVD), but nevertheless excellent and worth the price.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent!
Review: Excellent video. The quality is superb. This is a "must have" for any Seinfeld fans out there.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Great Compilation from the Master
Review: Jerry Seinfeld is funny. Really funny. It's not just his manner, his style, it's the brilliant way in which he connects with everyday people that makes him so funny. His sitcom, arguably the best ever, was a work of art that managed to combine Seinfeld's writing ability with physical representations of the off the wall characters he had met. This DVD is a good 75 minutes of the best of Jerry's work over the last decade or so. The sound is good, Jerry is at ease, and the audience is very receptive. One of the highlights of the DVD is when Jerry answers some questions from the audience. Classic improv work from Seinfeld. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because I've seen all of the bits before, so I knew the punchlines. To his credit, I was still laughing hysterically. If you're a Seinfeld newbie, or just familiar with the show, it should definetly rate 5 stars.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This is Comedy?
Review: This is pure garbage. Nothing this man says is remotely funny. His voice is annoying. Didn't laugh once at this or at any of his seinfeld episodes. Did i mention that he is not funny?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Supreme
Review: If you like Jerry Seinfeld, you will love him after seeing this show! Jerry Seinfeld is still "Master of his domain"! Enough said, just go get it!
