(I have a feeling all reviews for this DVD is going to have at least one "fluffy" reference...)
Gabriel Iglesias is absolutely hysterical on this DVD! His CD Pikachu I See You is great and his Comedy Central appearances are always terrific and this DVD is no exception. His stories, his voices & impressions and just generally outrageous and still totally adorable delivery makes this DVD a MUST HAVE for anyone who likes to laugh!!!

I can't wait to see him live later this year. I'm a big fan of his, and this made me like him even more. The end joke about the two "hoochies" following his car and then both of the cars getting pulled over. The punchline was priceless. I sure hope he doesn't get too political with his comedy, but it was a 5 star stand up. If anyone wants to know, there's some jokes that get repeated but other than that, it's pretty much new material. Which is a good thing with an uprising comic. Check it out folks!

How my ratings work:
5 - I really liked/loved it
4 - I liked it
3 - Could've been better/worth a look
2 - Just didn't live up to the potential
1 - Simply awful

Gabriel Iglesias is one funny dude. He has a lot of energy for a fluffy guy. I remember him when he was on the Nickelodeon show All That and he was funny on there. I didn't see anything of him for a couple years until I saw him on Comedy Central Presents (which was awesome). This routine is even better, partly because it's longer than the last one, and because it's got funnier stuff. He's great with impersonations, goofy voices, and sound effects. I hope to see more of him in the future, both in stand up and movies.

Gabriel Iglesias is overweight. If you've never seen him perform before it will be the first thing you notice. I showed this DVD to some friends of mine and when they first saw Gabriel come out on stage they couldn't believe how big he was. In fact, they focused on it so much I didn't think they were going to give him a chance. Well, less than 5 minutes in we were all laughing uncontrollably. You almost forget about his size even when his material is about his weight. His talent for comedy far outweighs his number of lbs. When I watch standup comedy I look for three things. Materiel, storytelling, and sound effects. There are a lot of successful comedians out there and most only have one of these talents. Gabriel has great material, his storytelling is some of the best I've heard (especially when telling the stories about when he's dealing with the cops), and his sound effects are also top notch (love the police siren and motor vehicles). Heck he even does great impressions from presidents, to a state trooper from the south, to an elderly Korean woman. Bottom line is that it's a great DVD from a great standup comedian who will hopefully be doing comedy for many years to come.

A friend told me to watch his show on Comedy Central. Gabriel Iglesias is HILARIOUS. He does excellent sound effects. Like many great comedians he talk about things that happen in his life and he's not afraid to laugh at himself. Would love to see one of his live shows one day.

By all means this DVD is a must see and a must own. I love the fact that it can be watched w/ family and friends without fear of being subject to profanity and crude sexual jokes. Gabriel Iglesias' comedy routine is clean and hilarious. He is superb in his sound effects and voice celebrity imitations. This is a great DVD!

One word. Funny. He's my fav comedien and this is a cannot-miss one if you like stand-up

Hot and Fluffy is funny fool. Gabriel Iglesias is cute and great with sound effects and voices. He doesn't need to resort to political or racist humor, he's creative enough to be hysterical without that. With his self deprecating yet positive attitude, he is a rare breed among comics.

Hot and Fluffy starts out with a bang. You learn about Gabriel Iglesias (that's "E"glesias with an "I") the guy along the way, and his relationship with Law Enforcement. The middle of the show does tend to drag a little, however, he closes with a bit that damn near made me "wet myself."

Fluffy, I'm mean Gabriel, is good clean fun. He rarely talks about S E X, and when he does, he takes a turn for the cleaner punchline. And I never heard him drop the F bomb. My 9 yr old wondered into the room when Hot and Fluffy was on, to see what we were laughing about. I let her watch a few bits and now she quotes him all the time.......O DA LAY!

I've seen it six or seven times now, and it just keeps getting funnier. I saw him live last night (all new material - and as funny as ever), and woke up with a smile on my face and a sore throat from all the laughing, so I put the DVD on again to enjoy "classic" Gabriel. It's pretty clear from the reviews here that this guy is FUNNY. His audience is young, old, black, brown, white, male, female, gay, straight -whatever. You don't have to be a certain type or group to enjoy his storytelling and his crazy voices. And he keeps it clean, too. His humor is about life, not putting people down. He's going to become one of the all-time greats, and with this DVD you'll be able to say, "I saw him way back when..."

I first heard of Gabriel on Last Comic Standing. I would be falling off the couch laughing so hard. I wanted to get his CD, but I can't find it from a reputable place. So when I heard "hot and fluffy" was coming out, I couldn't wait. I got this, went back to my dorm and popped it in. I was laughing so freakin' hard, I had to stop to keep myself from needing a change of pants. He is a very physical comedian, which is something you wouldn't think. He has some great sound effects and stories. Anyone would get a kick out of this.
