4.0 out of 5 stars VINTAGE SEINFELD STAND-UP BITS AGE WELL, September 15, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Jerry Seinfeld: Stand-Up Confidential [VHS] (VHS Tape)

For those who saw Jerry's recent HBO special and don't want to be told "for the last time," this stand-up concert from 1987 has some of the same great bits plus many other classic Seinfeldisms. Filmed a few years before his sitcom began, "Stand-Up Confidential" contains numerous vintage bits, many of which became entire episodes of "Seinfeld." Also of note are vignettes inbetween the stand-up which are funny reenactments of parts of his routine (sounds like the premise of a certain NBC sitcom...). I recommend this video, especially to "Seinfeld" fans, which showcases Jerry Seinfeld's comedic talents. END

This tape made me a Seinfeld fan long before his tv show. If you can find it, it should be at the top of the list to check out.

2.0 out of 5 stars Seinfeld got better at stand-up later, I think., June 19, 2010

Sorry to disagree with the other reviews, but I think Seinfeld got much better later, as a stand-up
comedian, especially if you compare this 1987 video with his later "I'm Telling You This for the Last Time."
The material on this older stand-up routine was pretty thin, and the parts in between the stand-up are very unfunny, I think. Surprisingly weak humor. It's interesting to see how he was as a stand-up comedian back in the 1980s, though. He became much better later when he slowed down his delivery, and polished his stand-up humor.
I'm still a big fan.
