Her previous effort "Take It Like a Man" is one of the funniest stand up act's I've ever seen. Unfortunately her new release "Dirty Girl: No Protection" is no where near as funny. It feels worn out, over played, & less of a stand up routine, but more of lets tell a bunch of the same short stories but change them up a bit. Sure there still some of the funny racial bits making fun of different audiance members, but it equals maybe 10 minutes of time on this effort.

If you don't like crude racial humour, then you're not going to like Lisa Lampanelli period & should look for a different type comedian. If you've never seen one of Lisa's special's before buy the DVD of "Take It Like A Man", you'll laugh until you almost cry. This effort however, is worth no more than a rental & you shouldn't expect a whole lot of hysterical material.

Buy "Take It Like a Man" instead & rent "Dirty Girl: No Protection" if you must see it.

Do yourself a favor and buy this dvd! I watched it first on Comedy central, and found out that they had edited out over 25 minutes of this show! Wow, they really cut out alot! Now when I bought the dvd and watched it, I liked it so much more. I was a little disapointed after seeing it on Comedy Central, feeling almost like "that's it"? Well, the dvd is 65 minutes long, and the one on Comedy Central was 40 minutes without commercials. Do the math. Buy it! You get to see the show the way it was intended, in all its dirty,racial, fun.
I only gave it 4 stars because I think they should have included more extras, besides 1 extended scene and a photo gallery. How about Wendell's performance? Her opening act! She mentions him a few times. I would have like to see his performance, since I have never seen him before.

I think a lot of Lisa's talents is in her timing and facial gestures, her Jersey Italian accent, and her overconfident expression of antiquated stereotypes. That's all part of her shtick and she does it in a way that's not genuinely offensive except to the very sensitive. But maybe because the venue was simply too large and it wasn't as easy for her to interact with her crowd, that Dirty Girl just wasn't as funny as Take It Like a Man.
It's a pity Take It Like a Man and her roasts of people like Pamela Anderson and Flava Flav have propelled her to a level of fame that she sells out huge theaters instead of the smaller nightclubs where her act excels, and where you can easily see her expressive face complementing her biting wit.

This is the funnest woman in comedy today, she holds nothing back & nothing is above comedica insult.I received this video within days of ordering, thanks Amazon. I will consider other dvd's by Lisa Lampanelli.

Attention to all GUYS... This DVD, and others from Lisa Lampanelli is a must have to your comedy collections! If not, then you don't really know what's COOL & FUNNY. If I wasn't a loyal fan, I will still give it an overall A+.

I have many of her movies and she is SO hilarious! If you want to laugh until you cry this is for you!

Coarse, profane and hilarious. Lisa insults everyone and doesn't tiptoe around any issue. Even if you find her language and subject matter offensive --- it is so nice to hear someone speak with no politically correct tones.

This dvd is hilarious. i have turned a few people on to lisa lampanelli with this dvd. maybe her fan club would have lasted more than four months had she given away these with the member package.

I bought these because I love her as a comic and she did not let me down with these two DVD's. I listen to her on Howard Stern when she is on and wish she would be on a lot more that she is. I just happend to be in California after watching these and she was there at the community center. If it wasn't for these DVD's, I don't think I could have ever got my wife to go watch her. She is great live and she is great on DVD. I highly reccommend it.

we've seen her other stand-up work and this is right up there! some new material and older material used in a new way. if you love LL you'll love the DVD.
