Amazon.com: As this fearless 47-minute set amply demonstrates, Artie Lange is not your typical observational comic that goes for the universal experience. "You know when you are [defecating] in the woods…and you're on heroin?" is a representative query. Lange, who appeared on Madtv before holding court as a core ensemble member on Howard Stern's radio show, clearly has issues, and free from FCC-mandated restrictions, he riffs through them all in graphic and profane detail. Lange is at his best when tackling his vices (drinking, drugs, gambling), his lackluster movie career (he refunds one audience member's $10 when he offers a Dirty WorkDVD for Lange to sign), and phobias. In a politically correct world. Lange asks, "Can't we be offensive anymore?" Short answer: Yes, he can, as witness his hysterical bit on Sesame Street's inclusion of an AIDS-diagnosed character to the Muppet ensemble ("Here's Grover with today's letters: H-I-V"), and his hilarious homophobic spin on a Foghorn Leghorn cartoon. Lange is a raging bull onstage, but with his unshaven countenance and his rumpled jacket and jeans, he suggests another Robert De Niro character; Travis Bickle gone to seed. Put him in the driver's seat for Taxi Driver 2. --Donald Liebenson
Classic Artie 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.
artie lange at his usual 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.
Artie Lange is on FIRE!!! Very funny, would have enjoyed more behind the scenes footage though
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 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.
