If you don't know Artie Lange, don't buy this. If you do, think about buying it, but don't buy it blindly. I did. And it was a mistake.
I love Artie. He's a great addition to the Show. But, his standup has something to strive for. He is not John Belushi. He is not Chris Farley. He's a wannabe, but those two heroes made it to SNL. Artie was just on MadTV, the 2 season of MadTV that made me hate it; not funny at all. I guarantee if he tried out for SNL nowadays, he'd make it, but there would be tons of writers to make him funny. Nothing of the sort on imitation-wannabe-MadTV. He wouldn't qualify for anything Second City. And he didn't earn it. By himself, he's not funny at all. With other writers, hilarious.
This DVD is okay. But don't expect him to be funny unless you're a redneck 4-5 years behind on comedy. If you laugh at everything your little sister says, or anything that your uncle Charlie says, you'd love this DVD. But if you have more of an experienced tongue and can judge comedy on an NYC LA level, don't get this DVD. It's just not funny.
