 | Classic Artie
rating: 5
I'm not sure why this DVD has gotten some bad reviews. It was everything I expected it to be which was HILARIOUS and OFFENSIVE. That is the main reason Artie has a fan following. I haven't checked out the special features yet but the stand up set alone was well worth the money.

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.

I actually would give it a 3.5

I love Artie's stand up.I listen and watch Artie and others on the Howard Stern show on sirius. I really like Artie's stand up routine but I think they could have done a better job of producing a more interesting video. A lot of the video seems almost like a home movie with Artie talking about his life as a comedian. Overall its a pretty good dvd but I don't know how many times I will watch it in the future.

Artie Lange It's the Whiskey Talking
rating: 1
What a waste of money. I fell asleep during the performance. He should not have wasted his time and money putting this together the routine is weak, and not very funny. If you listen to the Howard Stern Show then dont buy this you already have heard it all from the show. FIRE!!!, is his way to get the crowd to react when he is bombing on stage.
