Jerry Seinfeld Live on Broadway: I'm Telling You for the Last Time

Rating:
Summary: Belly Laughs! Ha Ha
Review: This guy is funny. Of course, I knew that because I've seen the television show many times. Jerry is "ON" in this presentation. There is no question about it. Ironically, I saw this DVD for the first time on the day of Johnny Carson's death. Johnny was the all time great man of the monologue. Jerry would have to get the silver medal in this category, the proverbial number 2.

Jerry talks about grocery stores, airports, and common situations we can all relate with. Ranks up there with Robin Williams and Bill Cosby, and of course, Johnny Carson, as comedic genius's.

Summary: Absolutely hysterical!
Review: "I'm Telling You for the Last Time" is definitely the funniest stand-up I've ever seen in my entire life. I must have watched this DVD about 20 times; it never gets old! My friend and I find ourselves constantly quoting Seinfeld's lines from this comedy routine daily. The best part about "I'm Telling You..." - Seinfeld doesn't need to curse to get a point across. These kind of comedians are rare, and it shows that Seinfeld uses pure humor to get the audience to laugh, and doesn't need to rely on dirty language.

I HIGHLY recommend buying this DVD. It's absolutely worth it. Just make sure you have a box of tissues nearby when you watch it - I guarantee you'll be laughing so hard you'll be crying.

Summary: Good-Hearted Clean Humor
Review: Yes, good-hearted clean humor is hard to find today. Most stand ups have resorted to the extreme use of curse words to make the audience laugh. Jerry doesn't need to do that. He can get everybody laughing their butt off, with simple down to earth observations.

"I am telling you for the last time", covers a lot of his previous material as seen on the Seinfeld show. This stuff is good, and it will get you laughing no matter what. He talks about childhood memories, parenting, relationships, and many tiny pieces of observation about our daily lives. One of the bits about airports, and flying had me laughing so hard I thought I would hurt myself.

However, being an avid viewer of the Seinfeld reruns (too young to have seen them when first aired), I expected a little bit more. If you are a Seinfeld fan, you will enjoy this show nevertheless. If you like all stand up comedy, you will also enjoy this show. But if you demand a lot of intelligent material from your stand up comedians you may want to steer clear of this gig.

Summary: If you haven't seen much of his material
Review: You should definately check this DVD out. Seinfeld, like all comedians, is not for everyone. Be open minded, relax and enjoy because as far as hilarious mundane things about YOUR life goes, I'm Telling You For The Last Time should give your abs a good work out. I was rolling, but that's just me. You have to see it for yourself. Hope this is helpful. Reviewer: 23/male/hawaii (origionally)

Summary: ummm...
Review: i was disappointedly disappointed. i hadn't seen jerry's standup before, other than in seinfeld episodes, and i was expecting more. not nearly as funny as the tv show (which i love to great and ridiculous lengths!) don't get me wrong, there are some funny parts, just not consistently. and there are some decidedly unfunny parts that are just kinda stupid. for any seinfeld fan it's worth a viewing, but don't buy it.

Summary: Great stuff. Just not good enough...
Review: Although his ideas are great, this DVD (and I bet the audio CD handles the same stuff too) falls short in a few categories.
I know, I know... some of you fanatics are going to criticize me for this, but I'm willing to take it. I loved his show and his book, but I'm not biased. I'll try to put as neutral a point of view as possible.
Let's start with the bad sides first. First, the audience. They all sound like they are obliged to laugh and clap at every single thing that Jerry says on stage. Every other time they laugh at some random thing that Jerry says (and by random thing I mean non-punchlines). It got on my nerves a lot. And that takes a lot of fun out of watching this DVD.
Jerry has some issues, too. Granted, he is gifted with coming up with some very brilliant ideas. However, he sounds sick and disgusted with the things that he says on stage. Sometimes he reminds me of Garrison Keilor when he is drunk and tired, without the passion of the drunks. I don't blame him; I mean, he has repeated his jokes a million times over and over again. No wonder the DVD's title is "I'm telling you for the last time."
The good side, though? There is no need to mention it; I think we all seem to agree that he is great. All the ideas that he delivers are great. Okay, most of them are. Some are just as not funny as the audiences think they are. But, overall, the jokes are a hoot to hear.
I'd recommend this DVD just because this is the only DVD that you can find that actually shows Seinfeld's standup skits in its entirety. I simply cannot find the passion in this DVD. If there is an earlier version of his skits, I will gladly buy it.
