4.0 out of 5 stars A familiar and comfortable hour of nerdly fun, May 3, 2010

This review is from: Fart & Wiener Jokes (Audio CD)

Brian Posehn's Fart and Wiener Jokes has content and joke structure that is similar to his previous album, Nerd Rage. Thus, the routine doesn't come off as particularly fresh. Yet where Rage ultimately loses steam, this album is tighter and a bit more polished. The album title might suggest that the routine is wall-to-wall juvenilia, and much of it is. But Posehn has an affable stage presence that allows him to get away with dirty jokes that other comics may not even try. One joke consists of trying to conceive of a way that can negate a homosexual act and then ultimately failing at convincing anyone in the room (including Posehn himself) that he's actually made a good argument. I don't think a lot of comics could do that joke as well as Posehn. Sure, Posehn may laugh a bit too much at his own humor, but he's not trying to reinvent comedy, at least not with this album. He's trying to give people another good nerd comedy routine to listen to. The homage-to-metal songs at the end of the album are not my thing, but doing a metal version of Kenny Roger's "The Gambler" has to be rather unique.

2.0 out of 5 stars Same as Previous Album, Full of Old Material, July 29, 2010

This review is from: Fart & Wiener Jokes (Audio CD)

When I found out Brian Posehn had a new album out, I got it as soon as possible. I'm a huge fan of comedy like David Cross, Patton Oswalt, Maria Bamford, and of course Brian Posehn.
But when I put it on, I was hit over and over with old jokes. Posehn currently only has one other release, so I checked that. Yep, several bits are lifted directly from Live In: Nerd Rage.

I don't recommend this album for anyone who has the previous album. I am disappointed that any comedian would release so much old material.

Getting subjective, the album isn't as funny as his debut. The majority of the act is obviously old, so he flies right through it with less timing and emphasis than I'd like to hear.

For two reasons:

1. Not so funny. This is the second album I've bought from Posehn, and the only reason I bought this one is because I know the guy hangs out with Patton Oswalt, and I was hoping some of the latter's nerdy comedic genius would rub off on the former. No such luck. I didn't find this funny or inventive.

2. Another problem is that if you decide to get this, you should get the DVD. In more than a couple of places, Posehn is being physical in a way you can't get from just the audio, leaving you to wonder what everybody's laughing at. With Oswalt, virtually nothing is lost by hearing just the audio, but that is not the case with Posehn.
