what can I say... it's f***in funny! Jamie is in top form, his material is fresh. And the show looked cool. I liked the ad-lib stuff as much as the regular jokes. The CD extras are hilarious... especially the calls from his ex-girlfriends.

i heard this cd in my buddys car and thought it was hilaaarious. "smoke pot get paid" had me on the floor wishing that i could find a job like that! i also just saw him on comedy central and that made it even better and i cant wait for the DVD to come out! at first i thought this guy was doin too much with all of his movie, tv shows, and now comedy & rap stuff, but damn this guy is funnnny!! i guess jamie really is BLOWIN UP!

i always knew who jamie kennedy was from the movie scream and acouple others but never knew he was a comedian. so i bought this cd and it was really funny. he impersonates dr phil, donkey from shrek and even larry the cable guy and he does a good job of it. i played it for my friend who is a small time stand up comic and he laughed alot. the only problem with this cd is that is too short but besides that any one that wants to laugh and likes good comedy buy this cd. its worth the money

I had to take a long trip so I decided to buy this to listen to on the way since his MTV show was the best show I've ever seen on MTV......He is hysterical. The whole CD made me laugh, I listened to it 3 times on the one trip. I would definately recommend this CD.

You know, I just wasn't impressed with this. I bought it along with the new Between the Buried and Me album and had to choose which one to listen on the way home before I had to go to work at 2 PM. One, an album by a spectacular band that I'd been waiting for, the other a comedy album bought on risky impulse.

I decided I could use a laugh today. I chose poorly.

I love comedy and I love comedy albums that come from solid writing. This didn't do it for me. None of it seemed particularly clever. None of it really had any teeth either. Strange, I frequently find myself feeling disappointed with the stand-up material from guys who are known first and foremost for their TV show. This album jumped from subject to subject with no real rhythm. A number of subjects were on the verge of developing into an interesting theme but then it's a switch to something else ... a switch with really no feel or sense of purpose. And then when in doubt, go for some wacky voices. But there is really nothing here that just jams itself into my memory the way material from Todd Barry or Patton Oswalt does.

I'm a guy who'll run a comedy album into the ground happily but I really can't see myself playing this one again. And I WANTED TO LIKE THIS, I really did ... cuz I paid the bloody money for it. Ah, well, if that's the worst thing that happens to me today, I guess I'm doing OK.

The album is riddled with recycled and watered-down standup cliches (everything from a take on the long-ago cancelled Osbournes show to a six minute bit where he talks with a wacky Chinese accent). There are a few spots in which Kennedy shows promise of finding an original comedic voice, but it was obviously lost in the rush to get the album in stores while his show is still airing on MTV. It's worth one listen for a few solid bits ... but if you're looking to hear fresh takes the whole way through, then there are dozens of comics out there deserving to be looked at first.
