Review: I was only recently introduced to Jeff Dunham's comedy by my wife earlier this year.  I know that he has been popular for awhile, but I'm late in the game on this one.   If you're not familiar with Jeff's work, he is basically a very talented ventriloquist that has a variety of character puppets that spout offensive material, from Achmed the terrorist to bubba.  His live comedy act has become something of a cult phenomenon over the past few years.  Now, this Xmas special is out on blu-ray to enjoy.

Jeff Dunham now has his own show on Comedy Central each week.  Its a pretty good show.  I didn't think he could hold his own in that capacity, but he really surprised me, at least so far.  This special pre-dates that show with a great selection of various skits and bits.  The blu-ray includes a lot of behind the scenes material and other things not seen on the television special when it originally aired.  Its like watching it all over again for the first time!  You defiantely need to score this one on blu-ray.  High-definition is the only way to go.  Firstly, why bother buying a DVD?  Its already an outdated medium.  Invest in blu-ray and you can have this great comedy special to pop in every year for the holidays!

Tom Wilson: Bigger Than You DVD Review!

You can purchase this DVD online today

Synopsis: Tom Wilson’s standup comedy is a unique and hilarious take on life that had brought him to the top of the comedy world. Know the world over for his classic roles in Back to the Future, Freaks and Geeks, SpongeBob Squarepants, and many more, this hour long, high energy blend of comedy and music – as clean as it is hysterical – will have the entire family doubled over in laughter!

Review: Who?  There are so many comedians out there, how do you even tell them apart, aside from the most famous names.  You may not instantly recognize the name of Tom Wilson, but what if I threw the name Biff Tannon out there?  Thats right, Tom is recognizable as Biff from the Back to the Future trilogy!  Butthead!  I'm sure Tom gets tired of hearing that, but he's out of luck.  Honestly, thats what set him apart from every other comedian out there to get a chance in our schedule of DVD reviews here on the Legion!   I have to say that I'm not sorry we gave him a chance, he really is a funny guy.

Tom's not stupid, he opens this comedy DVD with some material about his famous Back to the Future role.  That really orients you quickly and you identify with him.  What important in comedy is that you create a persona..something people can identify with and care about.  Wilson does this masterfully, he definately uses his resources.   Tom moves on to discuss his childhood as an ackward kid and what it was like growing up.  You soon realize that his role as Biff was terribly ironic, because Tom couldn't be further from the truth.

The DVD features a 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer.  It looks perfectly crisp and the 5.1 sound is clear as day.  This disc offers some great extras, such an infamous youtube video Tom made years back and Inside the Artists Studio, a look at Tom's artwork!

The bottom line?  Tom Wilson is funny.  He's a clean comic, so you don't have to worry about the kids overhearing terrible curse words or vulgar situations.  I would definately pick this one up.  In fact, it'd make a nice Xmas gift!
