Very good, however it is 100% identical to Victor Borge Act One and Two.

Victor Borge was possibly the funniest stand-up (with the occassional sit-down) comedian of all times...he combined superlative piano-playing, with even more superlative humour, with a sense of timing & panache that most comedians would give their sense of humour for.

This DVD has some classic episodes (with the Muppets, an old, but rib-tickling episode as Liszt, and of course, his classic Phonetic Punctuation, An Opera by Mozart & the pianoforte duet played with a Turkish Pianist).

All parents should vaccinate their children with a regular dose of Borge, to demonstrate how humour can be outstanding without the use of excessive vulgarity or tastelessness (which seems to be the rule today).

Bravo, Mr. Borge, may your humour never die !!!!

OK, Victor is definitly on of the funniest performers ever.
Nevertheless, after seeing through this one, I really miss the most funny clip ever, namely the Singing-Punctuation part with Dean Martin on Deans show. No collections are complete without that one, but luckily you can check it out on YouTube.

There is another version out there, maybe the 2000 edition (not sure if this was the 1996 edition?) that was much much better. This DVD was dissapointing and the best part was at the end of the DVD where they just jumped into the middle of his performance and only showed about 2 minutes of it. I do not recommend this version.

Anyone who doesn't know Victor Borge is just too young and missing out on the best entertainer ever. This is a showcase of Victor's best funny moments, all of which I never get tired of watching! However, Victor was also a very accomplished pianist and serious entertainer - if you get this (and you definitely should), make sure you get additional DVD's that show Victor's other serious talents.

If you love pure comedy, you'll love this video. He was not only an accomplished pianist but a brilliant commedian. These snippets of his funniest moments will make you want to watch this video all over again.

Great entertainment, (pht) by a great artist. Well worth watching, but make sure you are sitting down or you might fall over laughing.

Too many laughs to count. This has been fun for the whole family. He is a master of old school slapstick and is also a brilliant piano player.

Oh, Dear Victor! All I have to do is play your music and watch your mastery of the comic art,,,,,,and voila! I smile with contentment and giggle with abandon.

Bad picture, funny man... just turn of the screen and listen, its almost better that way.
