John Pinette is one of those comics that gets a laugh without profanity - and I mean laughs that bring teears! His facial expressions and use of his voice are truly priceless. I highly urge you to buy this if you want a few hours of GREAT entertainment!

Don't get me wrong, I think John Pinette is the Funniest Man on Earth. I saw the edited version of this DVD last night on Comedy Central. John is repeating too much material from his prior DVD and CD. Great stuff, very funny, but I say NAY NAY---you've done it before, John! You need more new material. I'm buying this anyway, but please retire "Free Willy" and "Fat Man at the Water Park"!

If you bought John Pinette's "I Say Nay,Nay, you viewed most of the same
show. If a show has a different name, "I'm Starvin", it should have different material!
I was very dissapointed!

John Pinette is one of my favorie comedians, but this dvd is a joke (and not a funny one) There may be 2 or 3 new jokes; that's it, the rest are recycled from his last dvd. Plus his last dvd was much much funnier because of his presentation, his presenation was poor on this dvd, if you want a good laugh and haven't seen his last dvd buy I say nay nay, and stay away from this one.

After buying and really enjoying "I say Nay Nay" I was looking forward to a "new" DVD with "new" material. This is definitly not it! If you know his old jokes by heart you will barely bring up a chuckle on this DVD. I can't imagine the reason for releasing this. In addition, the audio mix could be better. The audience is louder than John's voice and it also get's a little lost in the room ambiance. Notice how far away he holds his microphone. Give us 100% new material on the next one John!

This guy is so funny this video is probably illegal in some states. I remember a bit he did way back in the day that played on Comedy Central in like a continuous loop, about Ny-Quil, "the snuffly, sneezy, sleepy, what-the-hell-am-I-doing-on=my=kitchen=floor medicine". I just watched "I'm starvin'" with friends and had to run to amazon now that I know his name, and get us a copy becuase the whole show, I mean the WHOLE SHOW, was so funny I thought I was going to pass out from laughing so hard, and I missed half of it from laughing. No other comedian has made me bust a gut for the entire show, not Margaret Cho, not Lewis Black, not any of my favorites. You NEED this dvd.

I made the mistake of purchasing (2) John Pinette videos, "I'm Starvin" and "I Say Nay, Nay".
Both videos are funny. However, they're the same act ! I would have thought that Pinette would
have different material on these two videos. Big disappointment with that issue.

If you're going to buy one of these videos I would recommend "I'm Starvin". Very funny and
enjoyable enough to watch repeatedly. Looking forward to some 'new' stuff John !!!

It is difficult these days to find a witty comedian who is not crass or who thinks vulgarity is all there is to good comedy. I stumbled upon this DVD while in Hollywood video one day and thought I would give it a chance. I liked it so much that I bought it. He is very funny. If you like Jim Gaffigan or Brian Regan, you will probably like John.

John Pinnete is absolutely hilariaous thru this whole standup.His jokes are pretty clean with not a lot of cursing, so me and the boyfriend watched it a second time with his parents!

I really like John Pinette and his style of comedy. It comes across in this video. The only negative that I have about this video is that the camera keeps taking full body shots and audience shots. I'm not one that really wants to see the audience laughing. But more importantly, a lot of John's comedy is in his facial expressions. They should have filmed more of it from his waist or knees up. They have to pull back to get the full body shot, so you miss some of his facial expressions. Overall, I would purchase this again. I've watched it several times already.
