I am a huge Tom Mabe fan and I have his first CD. They included 4 classics cuts from the first one on this new one entitled Round One under Virgin Records. There's 11 new cuts that are very funny. There's also a song at the end featuring the singer from Bad Company, "Revenge is Sweet" I do warn you though, don't drive or handle heavy equiptment while listening to this CD. It's the funniest thing I have ever heard! I own several comedy CDs and this is by far the BEST! It is PG 17. I will say that. No cursing, just some adult humor. I listen to it over and over.

I have Tom Mabe's first CD and was eagerly looking forward to this new one, but was very disappointed to find that about half of the tracks were simply taken from the first CD. The few new ones are very funny, but it would have been nice if Tom Mabe had waited until he had enough new recordings to make a whole new CD.

This CD opened up a whole new world for me. Now, I cant wait to answer the phone, and PRAY that it's a telemarketer. What a blast. The title tells it all. Now get *your* revenge.

There are a lot of explicit matters on this CD and you should be aware it is not fit for family entertainment. It is also not as good as the clips make it sound. It actually gets old quickly.

I have all of his CDs but the newest one, and it is on order. He is hilarious and I never tire of hearing them! I have all of the tracks loaded on my iPod and marked them as favorites... It's always a nice surprise to have a piece of good comedy interjected unexpectedly in the middle of a bunch of songs!

Anyway, buy them if you like to laugh... He is quick on the mark, and very creative.

I get calls from telemarketers all day long while I am home sleeping on my days off. (I work a 24 hour on/48 hour off schedule with a busy fire department) I wish there was a better way to block them out. I enjoyed this CD because I too started to mess with telemarketers. Not as creative as Tom Mabe, but hey.. that's why I don't make money.. It is definitely amusing, and if telemarketers can't take a joke... well you can insert anything you want here.

Tom Mabe hits right on target with his table-turning gags. The ideas are wonderful, and I can only wish that I had the ability to think as fast as he does to string these along. While I realize that telemarketers are indeed human beings, the parasitic nature of the business lends itself to any and all abuse that can be loaded onto it and workers in this field cannot truly think they are doing anyone a favor by their diatribe and invasion of privacy. I am even more impressed with the organization that got started because of Tom's recordings, trying to prevent victimization by the true scam-artists out there. The CD is funny, creative and makes for a great present. There is a bit of difficulty with sound quality on some of the bits, but seeing as these recordings are done from his home and not a studio, a few auditory burps are to be expected.

I'm Sorry but I think it's hilarious..I have all the CDs and I love em..I am a professional telemarketer and I think Tom Mabes' quick wit is awesome..I laughed 'til I cryed..I wish the customers I called were as entertaining..It would make my day much more enjoyable..Two thumbs up Tom..I cant wait for the next one..It's all good fun people..At least he's someone that looks forward to a telemarketing call...

If you like Roy D Mercer or any other prank callers then you will like this CD. Tom does a good job on keeping the telemarketers on the phone as long as he does. There are some tracks on the CD that are not so funny but over all the CD is good. I really like the one where the carpet cleaning compnay calls and wants to sell services. Tom tells them that he just shot a family member and he needs someone to come and clean it up. He hangs up and they call back and he tells them he was just shaving and it got out of hand. Unlike Roy Mercer, Tom does not tell the callers that this is a joke and he shouldnt.

I heard Tom on the Radio once and thought I got to hear the rest of this guys stuff. I wasn't disappointed! This Cd had me laughing incessantly for weeks. I admit it does get old with time but I think it will always bring a smile to my face and at least of "Humph" no matter how much I listen to it.
