I was thrilled when I found out this DVD was coming out. Pablo is probably one of the funniest people I have ever seen. If you are a stand up comedy fan you owe it to yourself to check this guy out. Everytime I see Pablo live in a club I come out hurting from laughing so hard.

Buy this DVD you won't regret it!

While most Americans do not know who he is, Pablo Francisco gained national attention in the late 1990s when he became a regular performer on MADtv. After his stint at Fox, he appeared in other TV shows doing live stand-up comedy and went on tour with Carlos Mencia and the late Freddy Soto. He still maintains a busy schedule performing around the country, especially at his favorite venue, the Improv in Los Angeles where many famous American comedians have performed.

In this DVD, Francisco gives his most brilliant comedic performance. His vocal impressions of famous personalities, combined with his ability to devise ridiculous yet hilarious situations, make him a pleasure to watch. For example, he impersonates Don LaFontaine to simulate a fictional movie trailer about Arnold Schwarzenegger fighting the Italian mafia's encroachments on his tortilla-selling business.

Throughout Bits and Pieces, Francisco jokes about many things like strip club dancers, body piercings, NASCAR racing, Viagra users, Latino music, and softcore pornography. While he lacks the genius of comedians such as Richard Pryor, his work is still very funny. His ability to keep audience members in a continued state of laughter is a testament to his excellent comedic skills.

Pablo Francisco is funny as hell. Pure and simple. He's got way different material than most comedians today and he uses sound effects he produces himself to make things funny. He has your typical comedian jokes about porn. But then he'll begin to talk about the music they play in porn. And his impressions are great too. Like of the guy who narrates the movie commercials is just brilliant and then doing an impression of Arnold Schwarzenegger selling tacos on TV. Stuff like that. This guy is a step behind George Carlin in my oppinion. Absolutely hilarious. A++++

If you have seen the Comedy Central Special with Pablo, then you have pretty much seen this show. There are a couple of jokes that are new ( and hilarous), but overall I expected more new material from Pablo. However, watch Pablo's commentary of the show, it's almost better than the main event. He does sound-effects to his own show-hilarious

If your sides aren't splitting after the first eight minutes, you're probably not much into comedy at all. Pablo is absolutely outstanding in this release. From his "movie guy" trailer piece to his R2D2 impersonation to his mariachi band imitation, Pablo is truly a comedic star. This isn't the best dvd for children of course, but for the adult viewer who enjoys a good stand up comedy and isn't offended by a few swear words, this is a must have.

All I got to say is this guy is hilarious! His ability to imitate people, music, and other sounds is what really makes him funny in my opinion. If you like laughing, then buy this dvd.

I had heard of Pablo Francisco, years back he even toured smaller comedy clubs, and I had wanted to check him out... but never got the chance. Enter this DVD. What was an impulse buy at (forgive me, I attend college in a small town that doesn't even have a Best Buy) Wal-Mart, has instantly become one of my favorites discs. This guy does stand-up in a truly unique way, at no point in his act does he ever appear to be having anything but a good time. I can appreciate anyone who loves their job that much! Plus the guy's freakin' hilarious. Buy this DVD! Don't forget to pack a change of underwear. ;)

My friends and myself included have been quoting material on this CD for months! I am actually ordering another copy because a friend of mine wants to keep the first copy I bought.

The humor is top notch, with some fantastic anecdotes and characters that stick in your memory. The impressions are among the finest I have ever heard and are quite possibly exemplify the most talented array of impressions offered by a single individual on the planet. He cleverly integrates at least half a dozen characters, each with his/her own fire.
Pablo Francisco is not only funny, but exquisitely talented in all of content, delivery, and recurring story lines interlaced within the routine. His mannerisms help to fully paint the picture of each situation and are a fantastic complement to the spoken words. He gives off an air of an individual who is kind and enthusiastic... an interesting duo in a comedian I know, but you will understand what I mean when you watch. He's very likeable in that you won't feel offended or annoyed by his humor and it's predictability which seems to be a flaw common in latin/caucasian crossover humor.
In short, Pablo Francisco is unlike anything you have ever seen. Your mouth will gape open with amazement within the times that laughter does not overcome you. It is beginning to end, a continually rising routine that ends in a grand finale the likes of a downtown fireworks show. You'll be glad you spent the money... hell, I'm buying the DVD for the second time!

If you would like to see Pablo Francisco live with new material, he is touring and can be seen at local universities and comedy clubs. Mostly new material, but some old stuff with other stuff added on to it. I saw him live and laughed for a straight hour. Great comedian, not so much for the kids, but the funniest comedian I have ever seen.

Greate standup. For the price is just excelent you get a dvd and a cd. Pablo is hilarious and his impretions are probably the best thing on the dvd. If you don't like comedians that use a lot of profanity then probably this isn't for you. Great Buy.
