 More (of the Same) by the Funniest Man on Earth January 22, 2007

Don't get me wrong, I think John Pinette is the Funniest Man on Earth. I saw the edited version of this DVD last night on Comedy Central. John is repeating too much material from his prior DVD and CD. Great stuff, very funny, but I say NAY NAY---you've done it before, John! You need more new material. I'm buying this anyway, but please retire "Free Willy" and "Fat Man at the Water Park"!

John Pinette is one of those comics that gets a laugh without profanity - and I mean laughs that bring teears! His facial expressions and use of his voice are truly priceless. I highly urge you to buy this if you want a few hours of GREAT entertainment!
 Where's the new material? January 29, 2007
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
After buying and really enjoying "I say Nay Nay" I was looking forward to a "new" DVD with "new" material. This is definitly not it! If you know his old jokes by heart you will barely bring up a chuckle on this DVD. I can't imagine the reason for releasing this. In addition, the audio mix could be better. The audience is louder than John's voice and it also get's a little lost in the room ambiance. Notice how far away he holds his microphone. Give us 100% new material on the next one John!
A Good Humor Buffet March 19, 2007
5 out of 10 found this review helpful
There isn't any cutting edge observation here. But Pinette riffs with engaging, dimpled blitheness about his weight, about food he's enjoyed, about the trials and tribulations of tagging along with slimmer friends to attempt the same exertions they consider jolly good exercise. He makes his stand-up act a buffet of good humor.
It might be nice to see a heavy comic for once NOT make weight the lynchpin of his/her act. Couldn't a hefty comic stand up there and deliver pointed political humor? It doesn't seem to happen though. But I suppose if your goal is to do character-driven humor, it's only logical to use a distinguishing feature such as weight to define your character. And Pinette does it all good-naturedly, without making himself the "butt" of any cruel, put-down jokes.
Pinette has a signature catchphrase that is especially endearing. He'll set up a scenario whose usual outcome he's going to upend by saying, "Do you think...? Nay, Nay!" Then he'll set the record straight.
After watching his act, you'll probably feel distanced from whatever negative "Nay, nays" may be going on in your life at the time. Instead, it's likely you'll feel heartened to a resounding "Yea, yea, Hooray!"
Then if you want to see more of Pinette on screen, you can check out the surprisingly good karaoke turn he does in the movie "Duets."
If you have "I Say Nay Nay" Save your money! January 24, 2007

Wow about 75-85% of the material is on the "I Say NAY NAY" DVD! There is about 10 minutes of new jokes. My wife and I saw him live last year and he did a lot more new stuff.
Don't get me wrong this guy is VERY funny but, don't release the same stuff.
We know your jokes by heart John, put it away.
