Hardy har har! No, I mean it. I was at one of the two shows this material was culled from. Michael Black was dead brilliant that night and I memorized some of the jokes. But, I noticed a few changes here and there on the CD, although most of it was clearly from the show I saw. In fact, my wife said after the show that when the CD comes out, we'll be able to hear my raucous laughter on it. She was right. So was I ever surprised upon listening to the CD to hear some jokes told slightly differently. Must be the producers carefully edited the recordings from the two shows here in Chicago, creating a seamless blend.
On a side note, I prefer the other version of "Bumper Stickers" in which the preferable alternatives to "eat s***!" are "kiss my a**!" (oh, O.K., that's not so bad) or "s**k my d***!" (eh, whatever...).
Nit-picking aside, this CD is perfectly wonderful, man. I had such a good time at the show I was quoting MIB for weeks afterward. My highest recommendation for fans of no-holds-barred, crude yet still charming (somehow) and intelligent/dumb comedy. Oh, and Black's comrade Michael Showalter opened. He's another funnyman to seek out. Buy the "Stella" DVD, which includes the entire first and only season of Comedy Central's sorely-missed series (2005).
Rating: - The truth is in there
The title of this CD is "I Am A Wonderful Man", and it was well chosen; for all it's tongue-in-cheek delivery and the fabulously cheesy cover art (and the tasteful nude inlay!), the title perfectly describes the hour of comedy gold that lies on the disc inside.
You don't need to be familiar with Mr Black's impressive body of work to enjoy and appreciate this CD. If you need a little bit of escapism in your day, and want to fill that time with laughing until you're close to unconsciousness, then this is the CD for you. It's handily split into separate tracks so that you can cherry-pick your favourite bits over and over. And speaking of cherries, if your comedy-album hymen still remains intact, you would be doing yourself a favour by giving it up to this Wonderful Man.
Rating: - Once you go Michael Ian Black you never go back
I got into Michael Ian Black after seeing him on "I Love the 80s" and in Wet Hot American Summer. This is the first time I've heard him do stand-up though, and he's unstoppable. He tells a story about a benefit show in New Orleans where the crowd really sucks and a girl apologizes to him after the show. She says she hopes he doesn't hate New Orleans because of how bad the crowd was. He tells her "No, of course not. Nobody could hate New Orleans. ...Except god." As always, he's fearless, shameless and hilarious. A must have for Michael Ian Black fans.
Rating: - Michael Ian Black is truly a wonderful man.
If you listen to this cd backwards there's a satanic message AND if you open up the case, there's a nudie picture of MIB himself! But seriously folks, there is a nudie pic of MIB and I really enjoyed this album. I've been a fan of his since the State and then Stella - it's so cool that he's going the solo stand-up route. He does it well! All the bizarro you'd expect now with just a little more "take my wife please". Thumbs up!
Rating:  - White power YEAH!!!!
This CD is not for everyone. I personally enjoyed it and it will sit on my shelf with my other comedy cd's, but it did not have any of the huge laughs that some other comedians can get out of me. I did find myself laughing quite a bit though. He is a very strange man and his delivery is pretty good, but it is not like his work that I have seen on TV. Of course on TV he is usually with the rest of STELLA. He has a kind of whiny delivery, even when he is not joking about someone being whiny. Just wait until the end when he talks about his inability to play sports, it is in my opinion the best material on this cd.
