I was flipping through the channels the other night and I landed on this. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised! All four guys were pretty funny, and the whole thing felt fresh. Are there a lot of Middle-Eastern comics out there or is it just these four guys?

i watched this on comedy central recently. i was laughing so hard i could barely breathe. these guys are so funny. i think it was dean obeidallah that was joking about a pill that makes hair go away on arabic men....AND WOMEN....and comes in great flavors like hummus and lamb.

I caught this on Comedy Central and was laughing out loud. Not too many comedians are that funny anymore. These guys were hillarious and yet so orignal. They were funny without even trying to be. There was no picking on anybody, not really all about politics either. Just pure comedic talent, able to make you laugh about situations and yourself. You don't have to be a middle eastern audiance to enjoy this and get the humor of it.

I would like to sincerely thank Ahmed Ahmed, Aron Kader, Maz Jobrani, and Dean Obeidallah for their truely remarkable performance on this show and sincerely can only say that this show was a package full of laughter, humbleness and facts about the middle eastern people. I am from India, am a hindu, and have always known politics to have been more at fault than a race. Kudos again to Ahmed Ahmed, Aron Kader, Maz Jobrani, and Dean Obeidallah. May He bless you all.

I saw those guys live in Amman, Jordan and they were hilarious. The audience literally cried out of laughter. Being Americans from a Middle Eastern descent, those guys were able to portray the experience of arabs living in the middle east after 9/11 to Americans. They are the first of their kind. We usually see Latino, black and Jewish stand up comedians, but this is the first time we see Middle Eastern ones. A must see

These four entertainers each presented a routine that had us laughing throughout their show. I would recommend it for anyone who can appreciate the lighter side of what has happened in the world lately. These guys are terrific and I hope they put out another DVD soon.

FINALLY!!! This is, without a doubt, the cutting edge of comedy today. I was so rolling on the floor watching the special of these guys on Comedy Central. These guys are on Fire!!! They are not only side-splittingly funny, but thought-provoking as well. And do you have to be Middle Eastern to find this stuff funny? No way! The talent of these comics reaches across all divides. All four of these comics are exceptional, I just had to preorder this DVD. This stuff ranks right up there with the best class of comedy that the current generation of comedians has to offer. So, grab some falafel and get ready to laugh your socks off!

This video really emphasizes the struggle many middle easterners are feeling in the midst of dealing with terrorist acts they are not directly involved with. It deals with the difficulty of being labeled with a twist in humor. The depiction of Arabs and Persians was so on the mark. This video will humor both sides of the globe and hopefully create a better understanding and empathy, rather than falling for all the stereotypes the news tends to show. Only wish it was longer as it leaves you wanting more.

Just enjoy laughing at the things that scare you....very, very funny guys! I found myself telling everyone about it for days. Only get it for people who can laugh at the stupidity and narrow-mindedness that we see all around us, even in the aftermath of tragedy.

This DVD is fantastic. All four comedians are hilarious and the DVD has more of their jokes than the Comedy Central special (which was also good). If you saw the special, the DVD is still worth it because of the extra material.

Also, not only can you jump from comedian to comedian, you can jump from one joke to another if you want. It also has extras which are cool.

I definitely recommend this DVD to any comedy lover.
