Oh my!! This has some fantastic episodes, far better than the first dvd release. Episodes include Vegas, Amsterdam, Key West, Miami, Boise, Kansas City, Anchorage, Charleston, Austin, and NYC (the one with his sister). 5 of the episodes of from the current 4th season.

The audio commentary is pretty funny, gives you the background on what was going on off the camera. If you watch the show, and enjoy it, this dvd is a must.

Insomniac with Dave Attell Uncensored Volume 2, is by far a much improved disc collection. Once again Dave takes us to ten cities and stays up all night 'til morning sun to show you what happens while most people are asleep. Of course, he visits numerous crazy bars, some with male frontal nudity and many topless females too. Dave also walks the streets to talk to some interesting or uninteresting people. Some like to expose themselves to Dave or just for the camera. Dave also visits a cemetary, a skating center with roller derby girls, a Mardi Gras parade in Key West, a tortilla making place, Alaska Solstice Celebration, shark fishing, sex playrooms, night time skiing, piercing, cow milking, fishing at Ship Creek, Isle of Capri Casino, undergroud coal mining, live sex show, cannibis & juice shop, legal prostitution and much more. Cities include, Key West, Florida. Austin, Texas. Miami, Florida. Boise, Idaho. Anchorage, Alaska. Kansas City, Missouri. Charleston, West Virginia. Amsterdam, Netherlands. Las vegas, Nevada. New York City, New York. Episodes are from 2001-2003. What was blurred out on television on the Comedy Central cable channel is all shown for all to see on this uncensored 2-disc set.

great but i prefer my uncensored dvd's uncensored!!
while i loved both volume 1 and 2...i hate it when you advertise that the dvd is uncensored (it's even in the title!!) and then you go and censor it!! on the 2nd dvd it has deleted scenes "uncensored" and you censor a girl trying to show you how to easily get to her clit!! it should be called "the best of insomniac with dave attell : volume 2". saying it is uncensored is a bit misleading.

It's probably the sign of a character flaw, but if I channel surf onto Comedy Central's "Insomniac," I'm stuck there, watching, till the show ends. I may have a downright snobby attitude toward `reality TV,' but I'm strangely almost always in the mood to watch an episode of "Insomniac."

Part travelogue, part "how things work" program and part bar crawl, "Insomniac" follows the hard-drinking but ever-amiable comedian Dave Attell as he prowls various cities after dark. He hits nightclubs, factories, festivals, tourist spots - basically any place where people are doing stuff while the general populace is asleep.

"The Best of Insomniac Uncensored Volume Two" compiles some of the series' best episodes, visits to ten cities including Anchorage, Boise, Key West, Miami and Austin, Tx. In some of the shows' better bits, Attell clubs around Amsterdam with a cheesy old buddy (who has apparently become a huge TV star in the Netherlands), tours a bustling Las Vegas pawn shop and catches up with his sister, who fronts a rock band in New York.

The two-disk set presents the shows without the many bleeps and blurs that make the TV versions safe for mass consumption, and some of the episodes come with commentaries (with Attell and the show's producers) that reveal in humorous detail that the show is not nearly as easy to make as it seems.

Dave Atell is a comedy genius and this hosting gig is right in his wheel house. He's a natural night owl with a love for the booze and can still wield his razor sharp wit at all he encounters when the sun goes down. Enjoy!

He is one of the funniest comedians around. The show is hilarious and the DVD is a 2-disc set with a lot of features. This edition will be good if you aren't able to find the show on TV anymore.

I beg to differ with reviews that claim that this DVD is completely uncensored. While it does show full-frontal male nudity and several topless women, it stops short once the female genitalia are displayed. During the so-called "Uncensored Deleted Scenes", a lovely lass from Key West gets carried away and shows her all to the camera. Her breasts are shown, but her nether region is blurred out. This is uncensored? The last time I checked, that meant "not censored". If this sequence could not be shown in it's entirety, why include it at all? Especially in a section claiming to be uncensored? It is interesting that a prolonged scrotum piercing and a cow insemination are ok, but a vagina is not.

The DVD is very entertaining and will not disappoint from a comedic standpoint, but, on principal, it should deliver what it promises and it does not.

1st off..I'm a huge fan so I have no complaints. I wish they would bring insomniac back to Comedy Central because it was hilarious!

Dave Attell is a down to the earth, or down to the drinks, and has comic relief with no holds barred. This is definitely adult material only; I am pretty open minded and I can become shocked at some of his observations.

The style is stream of consciousness - his comedy drawn from experiences in bar hopping after hours until last call, speaking with different people - he is sharp witted and is an acquired taste. But no matter how much alcohol he ingests, he is still as sharp as a tack.

I like him because he makes me laugh and that is the purpose of comedy - however, if you see him on Comedy Central, it is more subdued and it is still wild.

The reason I give him a 3 star rating is that when he runs out of comedic material, he just rambles about his observations, and that is a little slow. But when he is on a run I can't help but laughing out loud.

Just make sure you keep this hidden in your closet away from the teenagers - it is definitely adult humor and very graphic. But if I didn't like him I would not have purchased 3 of his CD, DVD's.

So if you like a sharp minded New York comedian, who will say anything that comes to mind, and will not screen any of his material for some raunchy material, then you will enjoy his "shock comedian" humor, that could make Howard Stern blush.

Although I would prefer new episodes of Insomniac, I will take this DVD for now. It has some great scenes and cameos from other comics. Also features audio commentary which is a fun side addition.
