Don't Come Home for Christmas

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Comedy
by: Jeff Dunham

November 04, 2008
Jeff Dunham is a constant as an entertainment option in our household and we have seen Jeff with his friends live twice. The CD though, less than entertaining as it shows the difficulty of keeping voices in character and singing. Jingle Bombs is the best on the CD- which everyone can watch somewhere else while the rest of the CD's adult humor doesn't work for kids and even less for adults. I bought as a combo purchase with The Christmas DVD or I wouldn't have gotten it at all.
Again, LOVE Jeff- not the CD.

Beyond the Pale

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Comedy
by: Jim Gaffigan

February 07, 2006
Bought this for my husband, but have to tell ya, that Jim is hilarious. I was laughing almost throughout this c.d. His, "Hot Pockets" skit alone is worth the price of the c.d. I also enjoyed how he does his, "what the audience is thinking" part ( he says what he thinks some mild mannered librarian/granny/whomever is thinking when he does his comedy act ). If you're not a fan, it may be better to rent this ( go to the library, for 50 cents you can hear it ), but if you're a fan, you will laugh again and again.

O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Comedy
from: Buena Vista Pictures

December 05, 2000
Bought this CD as USED but it looks and sounds as good as new. This music is haunting, beautiful, or charming...depending on the specific tune. This is really pre-country / bluegrass classical folk stuff. You will either understand its origins and love it, or think it is stupid.

I really enjoyed this Mitch Hedberg cd. I listen to it all the time. Its SO sad that he is no longer with us. If you liked his first two albums, you will also enjoy this one. RIP Mitch

Really enjoyed the movie, but didn't think I'd like the soundtrack as much. I was wrong, listened to it while driving from Los Angeles to San Diego and was singin' along with it the whole way!!

Dress to Kill

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Comedy
starring: Eddie Izzard
directed by: Lawrence Jordan (II)

November 26, 2002
I just got done reading some of the 1 star reviews for this DVD. Maybe those people were feeling depressed that day? Maybe you weren't in the mood for brilliance?

Honestly, ignore the people behind the 1 star curtain. This DVD is HIL-AR-I-OUS. I don't even know how to speak French and I laughed my a$$ off at the French bit. THAT's comedy genius.

Great songs on this CD. Well produced, good instruments and vocal performances, brilliant lyrics.
sad that "if you're into it" is not on this album, i think it is on the EP.
highlights include: Robots, Business Time, Inner City Pressure, Think About It

All Over the Place

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Comedy
starring: Frank Caliendo
directed by: Frank Caliendo

September 16, 2008
Frank is a funny guy with a lot of voices, but unfortunately this routine doesn't really do much with them. If you're a fan of Frank's CD release, you'll have heard about 80% of this act. It's kind of sad that he's had years between that CD and this release, but he hasn't come up with much new material. Brian Regan and Jeff Dunham have released 2 DVDs in the past two years and come up with completely new acts.

What little new material that is there is funny at times. Absolutely the standout moment in the show is a part of the bonus materials. It's an encore presentation in which Frank does a Jonathan Winters impression that is absolutely hilarious and spot-on. Then it's back to his standard "Chris Farley is Batman" closer.

Undeniable

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Comedy
by: Alvin & the Chipmunks

November 04, 2008
I think that the album is lopsided at best... I love the art and the fact that Ross Bagdasarian Jr is back as Dave Saville but Dave comes across as a bit mean to the boys.. At one pont he blirts out "suck it up.." to the boys.. I really don't think Dave would have said anything to that in real life.. Dave was never that way in the cartoon..

Another problem I have is how Dee Town overextended the 1983 opening to the original show.. I thought it was a bit much as it was too long and the fact that Dee Town's backup was overpowering the boys at one point or another.

It would be a better CD if the Chipmunks didn't come across as Greedy in HO HO HO either.. I pods, cash.. I feel mortified at the notion that is all kids really ... Read More:

I was a fan of these guys since before I saw this and got it as a gift for a friend of mine. He laughed so hard he almost wet himself.
