The comics are hilarious, but I was just disappointed with the quality of the presentation - they used low resolution video instead of the warmth of film. Okay, I sound like a whiny nerd. Sorry. It is still worth viewing, only I would recommend renting it.

"I was flipping through the channels the other night and I landed on this. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised! All four guys were pretty funny, and the whole thing felt fresh. Are there a lot of Middle-Eastern comics out there or is it just these four guys?"
Original and Histarical!!

"I caught this on Comedy Central and was laughing out loud. Not too many comedians are that funny anymore. These guys were hillarious and yet so orignal. They were funny without even trying to be. There was no picking on anybody, not really all about politics either. Just pure comedic talent, able to make you laugh about situations and yourself. You don't have to be a middle eastern audiance to enjoy this and get the humor of it."
Literally cried out of laughter

"I saw those guys live in Amman, Jordan and they were hilarious. The audience literally cried out of laughter. Being Americans from a Middle Eastern descent, those guys were able to portray the experience of arabs living in the middle east after 9/11 to Americans. They are the first of their kind. We usually see Latino, black and Jewish stand up comedians, but this is the first time we see Middle Eastern ones. A must see"
The best DVD you can buy.

"I would like to sincerely thank Ahmed Ahmed, Aron Kader, Maz Jobrani, and Dean Obeidallah for their truely remarkable performance on this show and sincerely can only say that this show was a package full of laughter, humbleness and facts about the middle eastern people. I am from India, am a hindu, and have always known politics to have been more at fault than a race. Kudos again to Ahmed Ahmed, Aron Kader, Maz Jobrani, and Dean Obeidallah. May He bless you all."
