2.0 out of 5 stars
Short on Seinfeld -- And Laughs, February 2, 2003
This review is from: Best of the Improv, Vol. 4 (DVD)
What's the deal with false advertising... If you are hoping to see some great standup by Jerry Seinfeld, forget it. You get an approximately 90-second clip. But that doesn't stop them from featuring him prominently on the cover of this DVD. The rest of the bits are so-so. Ray Romano is the best of the bunch. My advice is to rent this one, not purchse it.

Dont waste your time and money, November 25, 2003
This review is from: Best of the Improv, Vol. 4 (DVD)
The description (and probably original intent) of this collection of stand-up material is promising: footage of comedians at a well-known club. Unfortunately, all was lost in the editing. Only small snippets are shown from each comedian. First of all, this destroys much of the effort of these comedians to craft a good act. Jokes out of context are often not funny. A good comedian will organize his/her material for the best effect. By grabbing small sections of various acts, the benefits of this effort is completely lost. In the case of this collection, it seems that the editor picked out snippets that were not particularly good IN context. The end result is you see each comedian for 1-2 minutes and they are not even funny for that short period. I daresay that most people seeing this collection on television would change channels rather quickly. This collection is not worth the time it takes to watch let alone the cost of the DVD.

HUGE waste of time., March 19, 2003
This review is from: Best of the Improv, Vol. 4 (DVD)
The editorial review says, "A must have for collectors and all connoisseurs of comedy!" That reviewer obviously did not watch the same DVD. Although the length is listed at 60 minutes, the DVD runs only about 50 or so minutes since you only see brief parts of comic routines. Plus, Rick Overton (the host) can get quite annoying after a while. Skip this!
