Related Items Available from eBayProduct DescriptionZach Galifianakis' stand-up comedy DVD spoofs the classic recorded stand-up performance film format by interjecting road trip footage of Zach and buddy in their red VW bus, and fake interviews with Zach's fake brother, "Seth," between his live stage bits. The splintered, slackerish feel that this editing lends the film reinforces Galifianakis's cool, enigmatic stage presence. Galifianakis' self-deprecating, sensitive guy-persona suits his love of deadpan one-liners in the tradition of Steven Wright. Sketches of the forgetful vegan who accidentally eats meat, or the pretentious illiterate who indignantly proclaims that he can't read, satirically poke fun at the self-righteous. Cut to a shot of the comedian's bus broken down off the freeway, then back to stage, where Zach riffs on his failed efforts to barter jokes for a fixed vehicle. Some segments, such as when Seth confesses his brother's affinity for making homemade ecstasy, are funnier than the Purple Onion performance. Like those on the Chappelle Show, these pre-taped skits rescue slow moments and elevate the stage act into more heavily crafted commentary. Graced with a dry wit, Zach Galifianakis, the self-professed "man who is bored by everything," won't bore lovers of good sarcasm. --Trinie Dalton Average Rating: 3.5 Product ReviewsRating:  Didn't even finish watching itI have a very broad taste in movies and comedy. There are very few movies or stand up comedy specials that I won't like. The fact that I couldn't even finish the DVD should tell you what I thought about it. He cracked a few jokes in the beginning which got my hopes up but over the 40 minutes that I could bare to watch they ended up being the only 2 jokes that I laughed at. For the majority of the time he is just talking to the crowd and not being very funny about it in my opinion. The rest of the time, they show pre-recorded skits where he is pretending to be his twin brother or with his group of friends and I felt that both of those were pointless and even more dull than his stand-up portion. I found him to be very disappointing and boring. Overall I can say that I wasted my money on this DVD. Rating:  read before you purchase...This is NOT the Comedy Central performance... I was mistaken when I purchased this DVD. It was funny however, but was treated more like a documentary than stand-up comedy. I think the documentary part was lame, but the bits that was Jeff doing his thing was funny. Be warned before spending the money on this DVD, try renting it first.
