This man is funny, there is no doubt about it. I love him. However, after just purchasing this DVD and his "I'm Starving" DVD, I feel like I've been taken. If you purchase any of his DVD's, purchase "I'm Starving." You will get over an hour full of great side splitting laughs and it has almost the exact same content of "I Say Nay Nay" plus the material on "I"m Starving." It's like John came back from Broadway and refined his act and made it better. Had I known that "I'm Starving" contained the same content as the other, I would only have purchased it.

I say Nay Nay and I'm Starving have too much of the same bits. If you buy one you don't need the other. However alone either one is great.

Ever since hearing "Show Me The Buffet", I've loved John Pinette's stuff. The cd was hilarious and only had one use of profanity, showing comedy can be funny and clean. "I Say Nay Nay" is John's first dvd, and the material is mostly different from the cd. There are a few similar stories, but not many. The only extra on the dvd is a 5 minute clip of a much younger John on TV doing the "You Go Now" bit from the cd. The only problem is John uses a lot more language in this one. I sat down with the kids to watch it because we all love his cd and I was a little shocked. Still, John's a funny guy and you'll laugh a lot with this routine.

i purchased John Pinette, I say Nay Nay and I'm Starvin. I was really disappointed that they were so identical in material just several years apart by looking at John. I thought i was buying 2 different shows. Wish your info included an idea of year was recorded and content summary.

really feel wasted money buying both videos. Should have just bought one

This is a good DVD for Pinette's Routine. He's quite funny in it - but it feels as though nearly all of his routine is a little rushed and quick fire.

He's still very funny in it though - but I would recommend his later DVD "I'm Starvin" more. Get this if you would like to see how much he has developed over the years and you're a Die Hard Fan.

John Pinette is so funny he's dangerous. I had to pause the tape to catch my breath. This is his first concert tape from the Montreal festival that jump-started his career - it's a bare-bones production, no extras, no interviews with mom, dad, his fifth grade math teacher, but the sound and video quality is still first-rate. His main topic is eating, the man loves to eat, a topic a very thin coworker of mine who is known for being a food-vac finds hysterical. He also talks a lot about the trials and tribulations of being fat in a refreshingly matter-of-fact way, without being self-deprecating or apologetic, as if, gosh, his size was just another variation on "human" and not a moral failing.

His singing is magnificent, star quality, he went on to tour with the show "Hairspray" in the role of Edna Turnblad, and "Don't cry for me, buffet people" is hilarious, in large part because he has a great voice. But it's his cherub-like appearance with his trademark sputtering rage that nails it. If Nathan Lane was fatter, and more pissed off, and did standup, he'd be John Pinette.

This is our second purchase of John's DVD from Amazon. We had to return the first one because the DVD would skip/hang in the middle of the performance. We tried it on several DVD players with the same result. Unfortunately, the replacement we received is doing the same thing. Amazon notified us that we can only get a refund, not a replacement, as this seems to be a reocurring issue.

John Pinette is fantastic, loved everything about his bit....just could not see all of it due to the DVD quality.

Both of his DVDs are funny and hit too close to the fat pad. I love him, he is a modern comedy genius. Tim D.

John is one of the funniest guys out there. You'll love this DVD !

An earlier performance of the "I'm Starving" DVD, some repeat material, but still hysterical.

ONE BETTER PERFORMANCE of the 'Chinese Buffet' in THIS DVD.
