I've been a fan since Dirty Work, listen to Stern everyday, like Beer League, bought Too Fat To Fish, etc.

So I am a fan, but I didn't enjoy this. I've heard about 90% of these jokes before on Letterman and Stern over and over. This DVD felt rushed. Like he just wanted to get something out quick, so he compiled his go to list of coke/whore jokes.

He's such a witty guy, I'm surprised he didn't write much new material for this special.

I'll be on the look out in the future for new material.

Oh, and Levy on the cover struck me as bizarre.


Check out It's The Whiskey Talking, Too Fat To Fish, or listen to Artie on Stern. I love him in those forms.

Artie is funny, but if you have "It's the Whiskey Talkin", then you have seen this.

Bob Levy is an AWFUL comedian, awful awful awful. He is bad bad bad.

I wouldn't love Artie if I didnt buy this and this was the worst waste of money I've ever spent. I dont think there was one joke that wasnt heard and at better length on the stern show or "The whiskey talking" I cant believe they even released this. Watching is depressing and I haven't finished watching it since seeing it one time.

I am a big Artie fan. I loved his It's the Whiskey Talkin' dvd and his book, Too Fat Too Fish. Those were great, you got the feeling he really enjoyed doing both. This, well, it's old tired material, and it looks like he is battling depresion and urges to use drugs the entire time. He is way off here. It's too bad, Artie is a talented guy when he has his act together.

I have seen Artie just a few times but have heard every joke here multiple times. Dated material, painfull to watch at times.

Artie must be trying to milk every dollar while Stern is still on the air. There's nothing new here same old stuff we all heard time and time again. Sorry Artie but this is getting old.

I haven't seen the previous release Artie did on DVD that many reviewers have said they heard all of this before and better. So I can actually give it 3 stars, because of hearing it for the first time. What causes me to not give it any higher then 2 & a half to 3 stars is the cheap applause method that I am sick of comedians using to extend their shows. Keep in mind, this is supposed to be a comedy DVD, so a 5 min round of applause for saying, "Bless the American troops in Iraq" and then spending the final 10 minutes of the show bringing up people who Artie said saved his life and should be given a round of applause for it, is in my book, just time wasting. I'm not being insensitive to Artie's life, I am glad he has kicked his heroin addiction, but this is supposed to be a stand-up comedy performance, not "This is your life."

Listen to Stern and youve heard these jokes a 1000 times....very BORING.....many in the audienece with just a grin or such on their face......BAD

Artie is such a talented guy, as evidenced by his stint on the Howard Stern show, yet this DVD is a complete clunker. It feels like he's just going through the motions, jumping from flat joke to flat joke. And, frankly, if you've been listening to the Howard Stern show, you've heard most of these jokes before, which makes the DVD feel like even more of a rip-off.

Although I'd love to, I can't give the DVD any more than 1 star.

Dont bother with this dvd. I love the stern show and arte but this was a miss. i think i chuckled once or twice but thats it. i was hoping to be hystericaly laughing but this didnt do it. arte is better in the stern show. i couldnt even watch the whole dvd cuz it was just so painful. sorry art.
