2.0 out of 5 stars Maybe the Goblin King should get out more..., June 1, 2006

If you pan a comedy DVD because you "never heard of Paul Rodriguez, Norm Macdonald, or Richard Belzer", well...maybe the problem isn't the product. If you know comedy, you'll know these names. If you think the comedy spectrum runs from Carrot Top to Jeff Foxworthy, well...enjoy that vanilla ice cream.

That said, you're getting what you pay for here - a machine gun riff through early material (the photos on the cover are a tipoff) by people who for the most part do better work elsewhere. Consider it a museum piece; a Time-Life collection of clips assembled for convenience. For completists; the curious might want to wait for a cheap used copy.

4.0 out of 5 stars dated but funny, August 13, 2004

After reading the other reviews I have to say true, it must have been taped in the early 90s, BUT excellent comedy never grows old. Jeanine Garaffalo is hysterical with her dysfunctional family deadpanning; Jim Carrey does an excellent imitation of both Sammy Davis Jr. and Tom Jones (his hips Never stop gyrating); Tim Allen in his pre-sitcom days perfecting his now classic grunting like an ape (pig?); Seinfeld's rarely seen Jason Alexander; Jeff Foxworthy drawing his Southern comparisons, and on and on. It's completely worth seeing if only to gasp at how different these comedians look today: Richard Lewis was a true Hottie and Chris Rock and Ellen DeGeneres must have been in high school. I'd give it three and a half stars because the hour and some odd minutes took me by surprise a couple of times with my laughing out loud but I'll round it up to four stars because I was able to watch without having to wade through cursing and crude racial comparisons -- always a banner day.

1.0 out of 5 stars Weak and Dated, December 29, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Very Best of America's Funniest Comedians (DVD)

This a pretty old recording of some currently famous comedians. With the exception of Norm MacDonald, Ray Romano, Tim Allen, and one of the two Adam Sandler clips, most of these excerpts are not that funny. It is hard to imagine how this is the "very best" of the material available from these comedians.
