Steve Martin
"Repeat after me. I promise to be different! I promise to be unique! I promise not to repeat things other people tell me to repeat!" This is Steve Martin in action. He says something somewhat pseudo-intellectual followed by something silly, observation of the moment in tow. Throughout the Wild & Crazy Guy compilation, Steve Martin continuously ...

Carl Reiner & Mel Brooks
The old geezer and his interviewer are back for a fourth shot at our funny bones. As usual, Reiner handles the questions and Brooks rattles off the answers rapid-fire, leading to jokes about the treatment of Jews (Brooks has the capability of taking the horror of the Inquisition and bringing laughs from it while making a point in the process), the ...

Adam Sandler
Just one of many gifted comedians to emerge from Saturday Night Live's impressive early-'90s roster, Adam Sandler nevertheless defied cynics' expectations by moving on to an improbably long and successful post-SNL film career, where he proceeded to endlessly recycle his stunted man-child persona ad nauseam -- much to the delight of his captive ...

Andy Griffith
It may not be one of the better albums Andy Griffith has recorded -- a few of the tales are a little dull -- but The Wit & Wisdom of Andy Griffith is a very entertaining collection of poems, anecdotes, stories, jokes and witticisms that illustrate why his homespun humor and easygoing charm has cross-generational appeal. Rodney Batdorf, All Music ...

Great White North

by
Bob & Doug McKenzie
Great White North is the hit comedy album from Bob & Doug McKenzie, better known as SCTV veterans Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas, respectively. There's one serious problem, though. It's not very funny as a whole. The shtick is that the McKenzie brothers are lazy, beer-swilling dimwits who focus on Canadian culture and rely heavily on slang ...

For their second full-length album in a single year, fast-rising comedy duo Cheech & Chong merely refined the amazingly successful formula of their debut, which had translated their popular stage act to vinyl with greater success than anyone could have predicted.

Adam Sandler
It says something that Adam Sandler returned to recording comedy albums after he became a superstar, earning 20 million dollars per movie. Perhaps the records gave Sandler the opportunity to explore his well-documented vulgar side, something that he couldn't really do in Big Daddy, the movie that appeared three months before his fourth album, Stan ...

How Can You Be in Two Places at Once When You're Not Anywhere at All

Firesign Theatre
Featuring better production than the debut album, Two Places at Once is a much tighter affair, with much happening throughout. Side one features a number of smaller sketches, with social commentary interwoven with smart television and radio parodies. It's side two, however, that makes this album worth having. The side-long "Further Adventures of ...

Firesign Theatre's previous work had already proved that the troupe wasn't particularly interested in releasing conventional comedy albums. While earlier albums had longer pieces, Don't Crush That Dwarf is the first time they dedicated an entire album to a single theme.

The Capitol Steps' musical political satire is in a class all by itself. Not only are their parodies brilliant, but also each of their members are incredible mimics of their targets.

With the Democrats' landslide win of both the Senate and the House in the 2006 elections, it was only natural that it would be a prominent theme for the next Capitol Steps album.
