This 2-volume set DVD from Ray Stevens combines his famous 1992 project "Comedy Video Classics" with select music videos from his 1995 movie "Get Serious" plus on DVD #2 the first 8 videos is actually his 2000 project "Funniest Video Characters" re-released. There are 3 bonus music video's on here: on DVD #1 we have "Thank You", Ray's patriotic song about the military that i enjoy! On DVD #2, we have two patriotic comedy songs as bonus tracks: "Osama Yo' Mama" and "Hello Mama", the follow-up to the Osama song. All of the music videos are top-notch. "Power Tools" never appeared on any other collection until this one...and so this is the only DVD that contains a music video to "Power Tools". This was did in animation-live action format...a concept that was used on the movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". If you want to seek out the other animated music videos from Ray, search for his project called "Cartoon Video Collection" which contains several music videos with Ray appearing in live action form up against animated back-grounds. It's an experimental production that's for sure and one that i don't think was widely advertised. Meanwhile, THIS DVD "Complete Comedy Video Collection", is a wonderful way to have MANY of his music videos in one place!! DVD #1 contains 11 music videos and DVD #2 contains 10 music videos. "The Pirate Song" is HILARIOUS!!!!! That is #6 on DVD #2.

I'm editing in the music videos contained on this collection since the track list has been removed during the last 2 years at some point...

DVD #1: Ahab the Arab; Gitarzan; The Streak; The Mississippi Squirrel Revival; Sittin' Up with the Dead; Shriner's Convention; Help Me Make It Through the Night; It's Me Again, Margaret; Power Tools; Everything is Beautiful; Thank You

DVD #2: The Blue Cyclone, Part 1; Virgil and the Moonshot; Juanita and the Kids; Too Drunk To Fish; The Haircut Song; The Pirate Song; Freddie Feelgood; The Blue Cyclone, Part 2; Hello Mama; Osama Yo' Mama

I have a record and a cassette tape that I almost wore out as a child of Ray Stevens. I have never seen him in action, but I am sure it will probably be even better than just listening to him.

My Dad is the hardest man in the world to buy gifts for, but he loves this DVD and continues to laugh each time he watches it.

I bought this for my husband who loves Ray Stevens. He loves this collection, and even discovered a few videos he'd never seen before. So, if you like Ray Stevens you like this.

Watched this dvd with my daughter today - she loved it! We laughed until we couldn't laugh anymore!

It is a two DVD set and the oldies, first DVD is great. The second DVD is good. It is great entertaiment for the price.

If you enjoy Ray Stevens at his best, you will find this product
to your liking. He is one of the funniest entertainers in the
industry with comical renditions that leave one gasping for
breath as he spins his hilarious tales of "Hello Margaret" and
who can keep from bursting out laughing as he describes the
chaotic scene that occurred when "The Mississippi Squirrel"
got loose in the church driving many to repentance, some
volunteering for the mission field on the spot and everyone
got baptized whether they needed it or not -- now that is
just too funny and to hear him tell it with his special
insight is a riot. Enjoy!

My husband has had Rays CDs for a few years, and our kids have just recently discovered him, and our 6 year old son has started impersionating his Streak song, well we just had to get the videos and the kids LOVE LOVE LOVE them. as do guests when they come over.

I am very happy with my purchase of Ray Stevens, it brings a lot of good memories.

The first disk was great but the second was a so so disk . worth the cost I paid.
