You all talk about Bill Hicks. Yeah, he's great, but what about Otto & George? The best on the show!

1 out of 5 stars These Comedians Suck.......2005-01-12

I rented this DVD because I am a big Bill Hicks fan. I figured if hes on it, it can't be that bad. I watched the whole thing, and it was awful. Seeing Tim Allen was kind of fun, but the rest, besides Bill hicks where very bad. Seriously, if your a Bill Hicks fan interested in this DVD, don't bother he just does about 10-15 minutes of stand up. The only thing worse than "Comedy's Dirtiest Dozen" was the "Heavy Weights of Comedy" part. This was just some Obese men and women coming out and making fat jokes about themselves. This was awful, don't bother.

5 out of 5 stars Funniest Stands Up's I've Seen.......2004-05-30

This is the funniest collection of stand up comedians ive ever seen. I'm sure glad this has been put onto DVD. It is a show i consider almost like a bible in my comedy collection!

with great performances by a young Chris Rock, and a just before Home Improvment Tim Allen, as well as John Fox, Joey Gaynor, Bill Hicks, Stephanie Hodge, Monty Hoffman, Otto and George, Steve Pearl, Larry Scanaro, Thea Vidale, and the funny man of the Howard Stern show Jackie "the joke man" Martling, who IMO is the funniest on this thing! Always save the best till last!

The other show is not as good, Ive had the CDD for years on VHS, and this DVD includes another show called "the heavy weights of comedy" which really was not at alll funny to me, I got a couple of chuckles out of it, but I wont be watching that ever again I dont think... tho, be the judge of that for yourself.

As long as your into a dirty sense of comedy, and dont take offense to things, and can stand alot of rude & crude gesteres and foul mouth, then you should find this great show as funny as I did!

4 out of 5 stars Severely Hit-Or-Miss.......2003-06-09

The cover photo on this film prominently features Chris Rock and Tim Allen, two comics who went on to priminent stardom in the wake of this film. Are they typical of what you see in the film? Yes and no.

Yes, they're generally funny, with a strong bitter edge and a forthrightness that is refreshing in light of the tiresom self-censorship of most modern comedy. No, you mostly haven't heard of them.

Timm Allen and Chris Rock have both tamed their shows, moving into more social satire and less vulgarity. These early routines, as well as some rare footage of Bill Hicks, justify the cost of the film. However, many of the other performers haven't enjoyed their success. Stephanie Hodge, Monty Hoffman, and Thea Vidale have very limited acting credits, while Joey Gayno, Stephen Pearl, and Larry Scarano have no screen credits other than this one.

Some artistic decisions in this film are hard to understand. Why are only two women represented, when most of us have known a lot of raunchy women? Why are only two black people represented? And why did they end with Jackie "the Joke Man" Martling, whose routine consists of him laughing at his own jokes? Surely there was someone stronger they could end on.

The comics aren't equally funny. Otto Peterson and John Fox are downright feeble. But it's more funny than not, if you have the mindset for this kind of humor. Perhaps the highlight is the relentless pace and extreme mannerisms of Bill Hicks--fans of that artist should rush out and get this film right away just for his bit, as there is little enough film of his material to be found.

Obviously, this film isn't for everyone. But if you enjoy raucous humor or love any of the individual stars, this film is enjoyable, if hard to find. Find it if you can, you won't regret it.

5 out of 5 stars worth it.......2002-04-01

This is actually a great dvd. You actually get a chance to see some of out more famous comedians in action back when they were almost unknown. The highlight of this dvd, for me anyway and hopefully others, was that this is one of the very few chances you get to see the late, great Bill Hicks on camera. For fans of his cd's, it's worth the money just to see him on film. Definitely worth it.
