The Show:Carlos Mencia's No Strings Attached stand up routine originally aired on Comedy Central earlier this year. It's now released on DVD with the extended, uncensored, unaired version with an extra 20 minutes of content. If you don't know Carlos Mencia, then you have obviously haven't been watching much Comedy Central lately as his show Mind of Mencia is one of the big shows on their lineup. Mencia's unusual type of stand up is actually quite refreshing. He definitely speaks his mind, and even though I don't always agree I tend to respect his opinion as he always makes a good point.

I wouldn't even call No String Attached a true stand up routine as it doesn't seem to be very rehearsed, it feels more like he got up on stage with an idea of what he might talk about and just started talking. There are few comedians who can execute this type of unrehearsed comedy, Robin Wi...Read the entire review

The Movie:
From what I can surmise Teenagers from Uranus is a film that 3 guys from Virginia conjured up (elements in the movie hint to this). The movie starts with some poorly drawn penis' talking to a giant anus that poops hand signals. Yes, you read that sentence correctly, and yes it is as bad as it sounds. There are a few short parody skits thrown into the mix, which are poor at best. And then the Jackass stunts come in. They trash a hotel room, get yelled at, and throw poop on each other. Again yes, you read that correctly. This movie is like a variety show, but no variety show I would ever want to watch. Not only was the premise stupid but at times it was repulsing. In some cases I find poop to be a very funny comedy medium. But then again, a good poop joke can be taken too far, and this movie does it over and over.

This movie (if I can call it that) is a mix between realit...Read the entire review

The Show:
Now I was born and raised in suburbia so initially I was concerned that I wouldn't relate to the stand-up in this DVD. This DVD included a pamphlet with advertisements for more "urban" style DVDs, But "urban" humor didn't seem to be present at all. I love almost all stand-up just as long as it's fairly clean, and good humored. Wanda Sykes has always struck me as a "nut" I can't even pinpoint where I picked that notion up, but this stand-up routine changed my notion dramatically.

I understand with TV shows like South Park, or Family Guy edgy humor is a very "in" thing to do. Wanda Really runs with that, but she doesn't go overboard, she keeps it in check. I draw a line, and if that line is crossed I become turned off. Wanda's delivery is impeccable, and the jokes are subjects that everyone can relate to. With a running time of 70 minutes it's perfect, not to long, but leaves yo...Read the entire review

The Show:

I live in Detroit so I've always received the CBC and they seem to love Red Green. So I would occasionally watch this low budget (not a bad thing) television show. One day I'm surfing the web and what turns up but the Red Green Stuffed & Mounted DVD 6pack. With a whopping 20hours of content! I immediately grabbed my credit card and bought it.

Now if your not familiar with the comedy of Red Green don't buy this DVD, simply put it's so much of it that by the time you finish watching it you yourself will be "Stuffed & Mounted" The shows follow a pretty similar format of 1. Intro with a commentary 2. three-to-five skits 3. a main story plot is brought in like the boat house burned down etc.. 4. resolution of the plot 5. closing commentary with more "man" humor. Even though it's very predictable it, with some force I've never before experienced, pulls me back i...Read the entire review
