"Yuch! My husband and I are HUGE Lewis Black fans, based on his live proformances, CDs and Comedy Central apperances. I bought this DVD for my husband's birthday. I was embarrased when we watched it together. I would like to think that this was done when Black was young, hungry and obviously stupid, but he doesn't look that young in the skits. I am also ashamed of anyone who paid Black or any of the other performers for this work. We are not prudes and may have been able to look beyond the crude vulgarity of this work if it were only funny. Don't waste your money on this. Spend it on some of Black's audio CDs, esp. the White Album and The End of the Universe."
ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THINGS I'VE EVER SEEN!!!!

"THIS DVD CONTAINS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST SHORT FILMS OF ALL TIME
CALLED "SIDESPLITTERS: THE BURT AND DICK STORY". IT STARS
LEWIS BLACK AND JIM NORTON AND IT'S DONE DOCUMENTARY STYLE.
THE SHORT HAS STYLES RANGING FROM THE THREE STOOGES TO
LAUREL AND HARDY. PARTS OF IT ARE FILMED TO LOOK LIKE
AN OLD FILM FROM THE 30'S. I HAVEN'T LAUGHED THIS HARD IN YEARS!
THE SECOND SHORT, "THE GYNECOLOGISTS" IS FUNNY TOO BUT THE REAL GEM IS THE FIRST SHORT FILM. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BUY THIS.
YOU WILL LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF! LEWIS BLACK IS A COMIC GENIUS."
Incredibly Offensive. Huge Disappointment

"I've been a huge Lewis Black admirer for a long time, spending money on concert tickets, books and dvds, and was excited to receive this dvd. But now I feel like a complete schmuck. I was horrified at the "gynecologist" sketch. Apparently he thinks that women who go to the gynecologist just sit there in the little rooms completely naked, all juiced up and waiting for somebody to screw. It certainly wasn't comedy, so I guess it was supposed to be soft porn. I was going to send it back and get a refund, but I'm going to destroy it so no one else will have to see it."
Rather buy beer

"I should have noted the previous review, which stated that you should not waste your money."
