2.0 out of 5 stars I love this show, but the DVD is not worth the money, March 12, 2003

This review is from: The Best of Insomniac Uncensored (Vol. 1) (DVD)

Insomniac is one of my favorite TV shows. I love watching each week as Dave tours city after city in his own twisted alchoholic comedian type persona. If I visited these towns, these are the places I would go. It's a great idea and a great show.

But this DVD gives us nothing new. No new footage at all, just the original shows uncensored. We get to hear the bleeped cussing and we get to see a little nudity. But, like another reviewer said, the show really isn't about that, and honestly, the nudity we do get to see is not really worth seeing (Okay, the chick in Montreal is nice, but otherwise it's nothing exciting).

I was really hoping for some behind the scenes stuff. Maybe bloopers, out takes, and deleted scenes, or stuff so shocking or sexy it had to be cut out all together on the TV edition. I was hoping to see Brian the cameraman. All you get on this DVD is the exact same show you saw on TV without the Bleeps and the Blurs.

And who picked these cities as the best of season one anyway? The New York episode on this DVD is from season 2, and it is the worst of the three times Dave has done New York. The two New York episodes that really were in Season one were both great, and where is Memphis. That was the best epsiode from season one, hands down!

Anyway, love the show, love Dave Attell, totally dissapointed in the DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars An All Out Party that Lasts All Night Long..., July 30, 2003

This review is from: The Best of Insomniac Uncensored (Vol. 1) (DVD)

After hearing his comedy album only a few days ago, I knew that I would have to check out his show, "Insomniac with Dave Attell." The guy's funny, sarcastic and very entertaining. So I knew the show would be good. After seeing an episode of the new season, I decided to get the DVD "The Best of Insomniac with Dave Attell: Volume 1." The show goes to show you that the fun and hijinx of comedy doesn't end when the act or set is over.

Dave Attell is the host and takes you on a journey full of booze, women, interesting people and wild parties. As soon as his comedy act is over, that's when he takes you for a ride you won't forget. And what's great is that this is an uncensored look, meaning that the language and other shenanigans that could never air on Comedy Central without being bleeped or blurred is here. Get ready to enjoy the nightlife as you cruise around with Dave in the cities of Chicago, Houston, New Orleans, New York and Montreal.

The show is very original and unique. It doesn't fail to entertain for a second. It's 107 minutes long, giving you tons of material to watch. Although it would've been nice to have the complete season of the show, this is still a nice thing to have. And you know there will be a Volume 2 coming out in the near future.

"The Best of Insomniac with Dave Attell: Volume 1" is more than enjoyable. It's funny, edgy, entertaining and memorable. If you've seen the show on Comedy Central or love Dave Attell, then check out this DVD as soon as you can. I can hardly wait for a Volume 2 and I would love it if a complete season would be released on DVD. Still, this DVD is not too shabby.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but I'd prefer a season dvd, June 25, 2003

This review is from: The Best of Insomniac Uncensored (Vol. 1) (DVD)

Insomniac has to be one of the best shows on Comedy Central after South Park. Who wouldn't like to seea comic go to bars, strip clubs, visit weird people and places all still open in the wee hours of the night. This compilation of Insomniac episodes is okay, but it isn't exactly the best. I could've picked better episodes than Montreal, New Orleans, Houston, Chicago, and the third New York episode. It contains no special features except the fact that it is uncensored. Most fans will enjoy seeing some of th eflashers on the street and the one chick at the porn convention in Montral. I did enjoy seeing Dave have a conversation with a man in Texas about a certain B word you can't say on TV, and hearing the profanity yelling at The Weiner's Circle restraunt in Chicago. The DVD includes no extra footage or bloopers which is a big downer. The only other real flaw is that on the back it shows four pictures from Dave's first trip to New York, an episode not on the DVD. Other than that, a DVD worth watching only if you never watch it on TV, other than that, you can probably watch these episodes on TV soon, censored.
