 Nice Change of Pace - I Guess... June 25, 2010

I'm not prude, but I've often wondered who wrote the law that says a comic MUST use profanity.
I thought this might be a nice chnage of pace - and it was. It proved that comics do NOT have to use profanity, but it begs the question "Can comics not use profanity AND be truly funny? Well, not in the release, anyway. It's okay, certainly isn't "bad", but it won't bring tears of joy to your eyes, either.
Next time I'm looking for good clean fun, I guess I'll have to dust off Bill Cosby's "Himself". I hope the VCR still works...
 Great family fun May 27, 2010

I was a little iffy about this DVD, given that I'm not exactly in their target demographic. But I found the material to be surprisingly funny, despite the family-friendly nature.
It's definitely not for everyone, but would be a great video to have running if you've got a family friendly business operation or something to that effect.
Clean but painfully UNfunny May 3, 2010

Since this DVD was considered Christian comedy and family friendly, I asked a neighbor and her mother if they would watch this with me (I always find comedy funnier with company). My neighbors are church goers and sensitive to profanity or any racy content, especially the 90-yo mother.
Just about the only good thing I can say about this DVD is that it IS, in fact, profanity-free and pretty safe for the family. The problem is, the family may not want to watch more than 10 minutes of it because it is just NOT funny. John Tesh is charming as the host, but he should not have tried to be funny. Painful!
I used to go to The Improv on a regular basis, so I have seen a lot of comedians in my time. The comedians on this DVD, though all male, were quite a diverse bunch otherwise (an African American, a Chinese American, a puppeteer, a (fake) magician, etc..). The one thing they all had in common is that they weren't funny. Sure, some were funnier than others. Some were more experienced than others.
Seeing that 50 of the reviewers of this DVD gave it 4- and 5-star reviews and raved about what drop-to-your-knees, gut-busting hilarity ensues, I thought it would be an enjoyable way to spend time with my neighbors. Instead, it was awkward. The elderly mother complained about every comic (until I finally turned it off) and the daughter tried her best to laugh to be polite...but finally, we all agreed that the funny wasn't happening and turned off the DVD. We watched the entire performance of the first 3 comedians and then parts of one or two more. After they left, I watched parts of the rest so that I could say I'd at least given each comic a try.
I do not recommend this DVD unless you have low expectations.
 A mixed bag April 26, 2010

This provides a mix of comedians. Some were humorous. Some were more lame than funny or humorous. The comedians are all suitable for the entire family, so you can feel confident in watching it with your kids.
Not what was expected April 25, 2010

Having never heard of or seen any previous versions, I did not know what to expect but was intrigued by the thought of stand up comedy that did not use profanity and crudeness to get a cheap laugh. While this definitely fit the bill for most of those things, it came up really short on comedy. I now know why the title is what it is - you are being commanded to laugh even if it is not funny. I found it to be rather bland and boring, and not even worthy of a cheap rental.
