You would hardly expect a guy known for his fart and d*ck jokes to put out something so genuinely heart warming but he did.

You would hardly expect a guy known for his fart and d*ck jokes to put out something so genuinely heart warming but he did.  I am a Christmas music freak and while I wasn't alive when swing was big, I always seem to gravitate toward that time musically as the most authentically traditional Christmas sound.  Obviously that is subjective but I remember seeing him on a talk show last year singing one of these songs and was blown away and immediately bought this.  There are a few dips to his voice in certain lyrics that sound very lounge lizard but that might be what he was going for.  Overall his voice is very smooth and the orchestral arrangements are spot on and invoke that warm fuzzy feeling I like in my Christmas music.

This is the funniest video I've seen in a long time.

Having watched 2 1/2 men since it started, I've always been a fan of Jon. He's one of the funniest people I've seen on TV or the movies and he's seemingly the same way in his book. He writes just like you would imagine him to be in person. I felt like he handled the situation with his co-star about as politically correctly as he possibly could. Everyone in the cast was adversely affected, as well as the crew and staff. Jon has led an amazing life and he brings it to you in a simple and easy to read format. He had me smiling through most of his book and laughing out loud at times as well. The book did not disappoint. I purchased it to read on a plane ride and finished it quickly. I was not disappointed. He seems to be the type of person he plays on TV. Funny and uniquely real.

What an incredible childhood! How he survived to become a comedian is a miracle! His tales of horrific events are almost breezy in tone, rather than carrying evidence of torture and terror.

Just buy it man, You will not be let down I promise. First you might want to get your hands on "Dressed To Kill" which is even more excelent but don't watch them one after another because this one won't seem as funny. The humor in this video is witty, Izzard is kind of the thinking persons comedian. Instead of talking about farting (don't get me wrong. I find it hilarous as well) he talks about the old testament and vaccum cleaners and evil herbivores. His girraffe impression is not to be missed. Honestly, whip out the visa dude, it will be worth it.

I've not heard of the author before but I purchased the book based on Ira Glass's endorsement/ forward because of his similar experience with the remarkable Davy Rothbart who is among the funniest most poignant writers out there.  The stories are meant to be very revealing and funny and I guess they are but the incidents related which must feel very unique to the author are 75% mundane - the kind of things everybody experiences, and 25% mildly to extremely funny.  You won't be disappointed, but will likely not run around telling people that they've got to read this amazing book.

Absolutely hysterical.  If you enjoy his late night show and his quick wit, but don't feel like you're getting all of him, then this is for you!  He's foul-mouthed, funny and heartwarmingly self-deprecating.  Even having seen this, I can still fire it up and get good laughs out of his material.  Absolutely worth watching and showing off to friends!

I discovered Louis C. K. about two years ago and have been laughing ever since. His humor is remarkably brilliant if not crass at times. It's like you know you are not supposed to laugh at some of the situational comedy that he discusses, but you can't help yourself. He has a remarkable gift for creating humor out of situations that you and I can identify with. Most of all, he is so painfully honest about the things that we face in everyday life that the listener realizes that the things that we think or do are more common than we might think. Few things make me laugh out loud even when I am by myself. This is definitely one of them.

This guy will have you laughing the entire time. His voices, mannerisms, imitations all hilarious. Very relateable to everyone's lives.

The thing that gets me laughing even more than this are the youtube videos of Robert Tilton the "farting preacher"!

Seth enjoys what he says, and says what he enjoys. Probably best to keep your children away, but oh man. If you are a spandex-clad cyclist... or just about anybody who doesn't take himself too seriously, this will make you laugh. In fact, I end up laughing so hard - to the point of tears - that my wife has had to ask if I'm OK three times in the past two days. Yes, it is THAT good. I don't get to laugh myself to tears nearly enough these days - and I so appreciate Seth's willingness to share his gift!

The best. Buy it.

Bill Cosby IS a very funny fellow.  Just about every reviewer had that right.  Bill Cosby was, IS, and will always remain a very funny fellow.  Why?  Because he's one of us.  In this debut album, Cosby shows what it took for him to get to where he was.  He, despite the color barrier of the time, was a respected and funny comedian listened to by everyone.  Cosby was just a plain ordinary man who had a great spot from which to view the world and tell us, his friends, what he saw.

I cannot ever help but replay in my mind the Noah track whenever I hear the name.  It cracks me up to no end and it's only made worse by having several students named Noah on my roles.  One day I'd love to hear one answer, "Am I on Candid Camera?!"

Cosby takes what we take for granted and makes it funny.  Honestly, it probably already was funny but his way of telling us the story makes it even funnier.  Cosby proves it doesn't take a handful of f-bombs to be a comedian of stature.  All it takes is a keen eye, a great voice and wonderful wit.  Bill Cosby has 'em all.

I bought this book on a whim and I am so glad I did. There were several times where I literally howled with laughter and there were also a few tears, but must of all there were heartfelt smiles.

So do your best a favor and gift it the gift of joy and laughter by readingng this amazing story.
