Jeff Dunham's Very Special Christmas Special

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > General
starring: Jeff Dunham

November 18, 2008
I have to say that even though I pre-ordered this DVD with great anticipation, I could not help but be disappointed when I finally got to watch it. Jeff Dunham's previous two DVDs, 'Arguing With Myself' and 'Spark of Insanity' were characterized by quick wit, clever writing and lots of energy on stage. However, this time around his act suffers severely from a lack of energy and enthusiasm, along with horrific pacing of routines. There are several times during the show where he simply does nothing on stage and draws laughter from the audience by looking like he can't remember his lines. While that may work with a live audience, it's completely ineffective against people watching a DVD because the atmosphere of the performance cannot be conveyed ... Read More:

Elf

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > General
starring: Jon Favreau, Ed Asner, Kyle Gass, Michael Lerner, Faizon Love
directed by: Jon Favreau

This is one of those movies with a perfect mixture. It's fun for both kids and adults. There are those quotes you think of a couple months after watching it, like "I like smiling, smiling is my favorite!" " 'You like sugar, huh?' 'Does syrup have sugar?' 'Yeeees...' 'Then yes!' You just have to laugh at elf! A great movie! I must say, though, this movie is a bit over priced at amazon. I bought it at Blockbuster for $12!!! I recommend buying at the store unless amazon lowers its price.

Jeff Dunham: Spark of Insanity

starring: Jeff Dunham

Even though I had already seen the Comedy Central version of this show, I bought the DVD for the extra hour of material. I'm SO glad I did! Not only was the additional footage some of the best, but it made the parts that were shown on Comedy Central so much funnier! The material in this DVD is some of Jeff Dunham's very best -- he was really in the zone the night he did this show. I can't imagine anyone not finding it hilarious. I guarantee this is one DVD you will play for everyone you know.

Flight of the Conchords: The Complete First Season

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > General
from: HBO Home Video

November 06, 2007
This is an off-beat series about two New Zealanders who have a 'band' and they come to NYC to try and make it big. They are so funny, their accents, and they make fun of New Zealand, lots of funny running jokes. They also break out into song occasionally, about 2-3 times per episode, but don't let this put your off. Their songs are actually very well written, and they do a lot of different styles, and mostly they just make fun of themselves. If you don't want to buy the DVD before seeing any episodes, you should be able to see the show on the movie channels in Canada, and I think HBO shows it in the States. I definitely recommend this comedy!

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (Special Edition)

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > General
starring: Cody Burger, Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Tony Epper, Miriam Flynn
directed by: Jeremiah S. Chechik

October 07, 2003
All too often, I have found the words "National Lampoon's" to be synonymous with "not funny," but National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is actually a pretty entertaining film. Christmas at the Griswold's turns out just like you would expect it to, with Clark (Chevy Chase) trying to persevere in the face of one disaster after another. With the whole family coming over, he wants everything to be perfect -- from the Christmas tree he finds and cuts down (er, digs up) himself to the thousands of lights he staples all over the house. He's not completely stupid, though -- he knows his parents and his wife's parents are going to argue throughout the holidays, that his wife and kids aren't all that excited about sharing Christmas with the rest of the family, ...

Jeff Dunham: Arguing With Myself

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > General
starring: Jeff Dunham

May 30, 2006
Jeff Dunham is a masterful comedian. He has recognized that his cast of characters can get away with saying things that no flesh and blood person could, without being truly offensive. Each character is so strong and individual that they don't miss a beat even when things go wrong. It is both delightful and awe-inspiring to see a comedian who is so good that he can stand on the stage doing nothing for a minute at a time and still have the audience in stitches. I'm glad I bought this DVD for my collection, because I know I'm going to be playing it many, many times!
