5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, February 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Why Did We Laugh [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The life of the late great Sam Kinison is explored from birth to his untimely death in this wonderful video. It has lots of interviews with Sam's friends, colegues, and his brother Bill. The way it is put together is great, with some of his best comedy clips on the video. It tells about the life of Sam Kinison very well, from the loud mouth hysterical man on stage, to the warm, caring man off it. Buy it... you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll laugh again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sam Kinison - I knew why I laughed!, September 8, 1998
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sam Kinison: Why Did We Laugh (DVD)
The late Sam Kinison has always been a maligned person due to his outrageous stage presence and performance. In this DVD, you can learn the way Sam REALLY died, see unseen footage of his standup start in Texas and see unseen footage of Sam when he was a preacher. Also included in this DVD are scenes with Dennis Miller, Larry King, Rodney Dangerfield, Jay Leno, Judy Tenuta and other famous faces.

Sam may have been outrageous, crazy, and many other adverbs and adjectives, but you'll know the real story when it's over. Get this and find out the REAL story. END

5.0 out of 5 stars More than just a loud mouth, a lot more, July 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Why Did We Laugh [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I watched "Why Did We Laugh" with great interest. Director Larry Carroll has found something deeper and much more interesting about Sam Kinison lurking just behind the noise and laughter. I didn't think it was possible but Kinison actually seems to have been a very human, very compelling character. Bravo.
