Editorial Reviews

Called "Comedy's Lovable Queen of Mean" (New York Times) and "Howard Stern on estrogen" (Toronto Star), Lisa Lampanelli is the insult comic for a new generation. Now, with a onehour special airing on Comedy Central, she makes her major-label debut with that same outrageous, in-your-face performance on CD and DVD with Take It Like A Man, recorded live at The Improv in Hollywood, FL. Shocking and hilarious, no-holds-barred and politically incorrect, Lampanelli is Don Rickles with breasts and major PMS. Track Listings: Intro, Hector, My Parents And Soccer Moms, Take It Like A Man, The Train To Brown Town, White Devils And Hispanic Women, Pillow Talk, Men Are Good And Women Are Beautiful, It’s Funny Because It’s True, My Mother, My Man And Children, I Have A Dream, Kobe And Cable, Stereotypes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure, Unedited, Vicious, Non-Stop Hilarity, September 13, 2005

This review is from: Lisa Lampanelli: Take it Like a Man (DVD)

This is one of the funniest stand-up shows I've ever seen. Lisa Lampanelli -- the proclaimed "Queen Of Mean" -- keeps the jokes running at break-neck speed, with all of them being hilarious. Just be warned, she doesn't get the nickname for nothing. Amazon.com shows this DVD as rated PG. I have suspicions that is false information. There is plenty of adult language to go around, and the subject of most of her material is very racy for children. Not only is "Take It Like A Man" extremely questionable for young viewers, but undeniably questionable for the easily-offended. She has a great sense of humor, and the majority of it revolves around making fun of certain types of people. As her saying goes, "It is fun to make fun of everybody". She shoves it to white people, black people, gay people, hispanic people, christians, muslims, jews, and much more. If you are at all proud of who you are and can't take a joke, avoid Lisa Lampanelli! This is raw, mean humor, intended to bring us together by laughing at ourselves. A fine job she does at that. Just don't be taken by surprise when you find yourself laughing to death over completely politically incorrect jokes that are sure to make even the meanest of comedians blush.

4.0 out of 5 stars VERY FUNNY, but...., April 20, 2006

This review is from: Lisa Lampanelli: Take it Like a Man (DVD)

I saw Miss Lampanelli on The Tonight Show (other guest was Simon Cowell). We get Leno here on MNBC - a few days after the actual broadcast. I thought she was hilarious and immediately ordered both her shows. I watched this one first and loved it. If you like humour and stand-up, this is DEFINITELY a DVD to add to your collection. BUT. There is a big fat BUT. Don't buy her other show on DVD, even if you love this one. It is called "The Queen of Mean", and the audio and visual standards are pathetic and amateurish! I am not making this up or trying to be harsh - but it looks like a pirated copy from China. And the saddest thing was that she did almost the EXACT same material in that show as she did in this show. Hence 4 stars and not 5. A lot of the things I laughed at on LENO also resurfaced in this act. Quite ironic that the word IMPROV is clearly visible above the stage through most of the show. But back to compliments - her lines and delivery are VERY funny, that's for sure! I hope this information helped with your decision.

Ms. Lampanelli's brand of humor is uncomfortable, but it is devastatingly funny. In this short stand-up comedy disc, she manages to insult every race without offending them. Not for the faint-hearted.
