Customer Review: Limp Noodles of Comedy.
This DVD proves that keeping mostly to ethnicity material can be a slippery slope. Even though most of the predominantly Asian audience seems to crack up and find everything knee-slappingly funny, it mostly boils down to self-ironic "yes, we're able (and willing) to laugh at our own stereotypes." Bobby Lee ends up having the weakest performance (perhaps the lineup-order provides a clue?). He's more proficient doing MadTV material than his own standup routine. Kevin Shea has an angrier approach, but unfortunately restricts himself to a string of non-engaging one-liners. Steve Byrne is quick and self-confident, but his love for animated sound effects and his "this is Bruce Lee having sex" bit is getting annoying and old. Dr. Ken Jeong is the strongest performer, both material wise and being the one most comfortable in his own skin. Personally, he's the only one of the bunch who made me laugh out loud (unfortunately, a one-time only experience watching this DVD). Granted, he probably has an advantage over the other guys with his 'Doctor by day, comedian by night' schtick. All in all, if this material is your thing, you get more bang for the buck with comedians like Russell Peters (he does Asian, but a different kind of Asian).
