Laughing Out Loud: America's Funniest Comedians - Vols. 1-5 Boxed Set

Rating:
Summary: Go elsewhere
Review: An incredible waste of time. Jason Alexander gets 2 minutes of screen time, Chris Rock's act is not at all polished and drags on and on and on. A couple of laughs, but not enough to make this worth seeing. If you're looking into this series check out #5 instead.

Summary: Hit and miss
Review: Of the Laughing Out Loud series, this is tied with #5 as being the best, but that isn't saying much. Tim Allen does his standard monkey voice bits, Caroline Rhea is quite good, and
Carrot Top (!?!) is another shining moment. Who knew he could be so clever and full of energy. Still not as packed with laughs as you might expect though.

Rating:
Summary: too many bad comedians
Review: this is a five disc set that could easily be condensed into three very funny discs. each disc at some point leaves you wandering 'is the next guy going to be funny, man i sure hope so'. this set gives you a chance to see some of todays best comedians when they were much younger. some peoples bits are very short, one joke short, which leaves you feeling a little jipped. The replay value is minimal because you have to skip around so much to keep the laughs going.

Rating:
Summary: Up and down
Review: With a roster that includes Adam Sandler and Jerry Seinfeld you might expect some stellar comedy, but several of the unknowns really drag it down. I could hardly tolerate watching some of it. Although it's novel to see Roseanne up on stage - thin, with feathered coif - the comedy just isn't consistent enough. Seinfeld is on for 2 minutes, Sandler tells 3 jokes over the course of 5 minutes. The first half is 4 stars, the 2nd half is 1.5. If you're looking for wall-to-wall laughs then go to the "Jerry Seinfeld on Broadway" DVD instead.
