Holy cow!!
The first 30 minutes of this show was so hysterical I never stopped laughing! Seriously, I was couldn't believe the absolute filth coming out of her mouth, while insulting and full of over-the-top stereotypes she engages the audience so well you never feel too insulted, or uncomfortable.

Not mean-spirited but very much in the tradition of Don Rickles.
If you don't like insult comics or the c-word, it's definitely not for you.

Everyone else, enjoy with a tissue....and some ky...

I saw a bit of Lisa's stand up on Comedy Central, I laughed so hard. I picked this album out the other day and once again was laughing with tears in my eyes. Her comedy is vulgar, it is offensive and it is hilarious. As I was listening to the CD I was thinking that I remembered certain jokes a little differently. The reason for this is that the CD is edited from the DVD release. The language is still the same, but the bits have been shortened, it's not a direct audio copy of the video. The CD sort of sounds like highlights from the video.
Aside from the edits, the CD will give you some great laughs.

I saw Lisa on Leno the other night and decided to pick this CD up; I was not disappointed. My whole family listened to it and we were all doubled over laughing. She has some of the best lines I've heard in a while. Some of the CD drags a bit but it is nonetheless worth purchasing.

Bought it for my wife who uses it in her workouts on the treadmill. She reports that it is great and everything she hoped for.

i thought this was the dvd but it was the "CD".i just went ahead trasehd it,lol
she's funny though!!

This DVD isn't for the faint of heart, but it is absolutely hysterical. In this ultra politically correct culture that we live in, Lisa Lampanelli is a breath of fresh air! Her jokes are naughty and her delivery is flawless! All of my friends will be getting this DVD from me at Christmas time!

Tired. I'm sorry, Lisa, but your album just wears me out. And it's what, 40 minutes? A slight rip-off for a full-priced comedy CD, since most performers consistently deliver 60 minutes of better material.

Take It Like A Man is essentially a fiery composite of every racial joke you've ever heard, funny or not, told from the point of view of a white woman who is racially hateful "just for the humor of it" and trying to save face by aligning herself with the butts of her jokes, like her professed penchant for black boyfriends without jobs and with prison records. Far be it for me to say that anyone can't say what they want to and crack jokes about anyone, but it comes across coldly and flip so often that I couldn't help but feel like I'd picked this CD up off a White Power website or something. Don't get me wrong, some of the funniest humor going on at this point in time (2005) is racially, sexually, or politically scathing (Carlos Mencia, Dave Chapelle, South Park, Family Guy), but it's just not working for me coming out of the mouth of a white woman that only marginally tries to aleviate the discomfort in laughing at these jokes with half-hearted attempts of placation. If you can see past that, you may very well love this, but I can't, so I didn't.
