Jerry Seinfeld in his DVD "I'm Telling You for the Last Time" (1998) delivers as a consummate comedian. Seinfeld has the unique ability to see complexity and detail in supposedly simplistic everyday life and things. These include aspects like airflight traveling, cab drivers, airport bathrooms, doctors and waiting rooms, grocery stores, elderly folks in Florida, McDonalds, horses, and so much more. What is seemingly irrelevant and unnoticeable, is what Seinfeld can turn into jokes, and simultaneously keep the audience laughing and pondering, and talking about it the next day. Because much of what he portrays is based on common daily circumstances, Seinfeld's comedy is largely timeless. He certainly comes across as a meticulous master observer, one who gathers up unnoticeable and ignored detail in everyday life, and transmits this through comedy. Here are bits of Seinfeld humor. "Airline peanut bags are too small, dig?...so are airline booze bottles and bathrooms." "When people go to the store they can never remember if they have enough milk." "New York cabbies are bad smelling foreigners and airport security guards are too fat."

Notably, Seinfeld loves the short Question-Answer technique. He asks the audience, why this and this happens, and while they laugh at the seemingly simple yet intriguing question, he offers an answer that people would not expect, sending the audience into a frenzy of uncontrollable laughter. Example: "Dogs are broke all their lives. You know why they have no money? No pockets. They see change on the street--there's nothing they can do about it." Not to mention, most of Seinfeld's jokes are fresh. Furthermore, profanity does not exist in his routine, something he is so much credited for, given the significant employment of profanity by many comedians. Look at more of Seinfeld's comedy: "I'm going to tell you the secret of the male mind---all men think of themselves as low-level superheroes."

Jerry Seinfeld is remarkably comfortable on stage. He starts his joke routine casually then digs in with mostly fresh material. His appeal also has to do with his humility, calmness and ease, as well as genuine appreciation for his audience, all this despite the high level of success with his television show. Seinfeld even allows for audience questions, an aspect quite rare among comedians. Seinfeld is genuinely touched when the audience gives him a standing ovation whether at the beginning of or at the end of his set. Both on TV and stage, Seinfeld is a highly skillful comedian. The combination of his TV show (that ran for an impressive 9 years) and the stage performances build him into a much greater performer. The TV show offers more flexibility and body expression, whereas Seinfeld demonstrates far less facial expressions in the stage acts. Nevertheless, Seinfeld dramatizes that comedy can come across plainly but excellently without the employment of grotesque facial expressions that many comedians are known for.

While using some of the most mundane things in life for his material, he still possesses and transmits an intellectual form of humor. The Seinfeld performing on the DVD is quite the same as the television Seinfeld. Many of the jokes are familiar, and even those that are not tend to sound like they are. That Seinfeld is also consistent in the humor from start to finish is undeniable. Further, Seinfeld tends to appeal to quite a wide audience, that transcends gender and even age to some extent, just as long as this audience is in tune with his intellectual oriented humor. Some of his jokes do have a mature backdrop, but overall Seinfeld's comedy can be enjoyed by both young and old. A good example that gathers a wide breadth of laughs is the segment about trick-or-treating as a child and drive toward a constant need for candy. Much of Seinfeld's presentation is about Seinfeld's writing ability combined with physical representations of the off-the-wall characters he has met.

I think People sometime's forget just what a brilliant comedian Jerry Seinfeld really is. The television series was remarkable and the best ever, in my opinion. This movie; Jerry Seinfeld Live on Broadway: I'm Telling You for the Last Time, reminds us that the show was based on material that Jerry came up with. I have had the pleasure of seeing Jerry twice in Sacramento, California. He is brilliant with the most impeccable timing I have witnessed. This movie captures Jerry at the peak of his performing prowess with timeless material that serves as a testament to his sharp wit and billiant comedic mind. 5 Stars!

Whether you are a Seinfeld fan or not, this is a MUST HAVE! You will laugh from beginning to end and be able to watch it over and over and it only gets funnier every time you watch it. Jerry Seinfeld's clever and witty outlook on normal life scenarios provides humor that any person could relate to. If I ever lost this video, I would run right back out and buy it again just to be sure that I had it at my disposal when I needed a laugh. I enjoy showing it to others who have never seen it and watching them crack up laughing as it is always a good time.

Everyone will find something hilarious about this stand up routine. Just buy it.

Good intro. He is in good form. If you like Jerry, you'll like this, even though you probably have heard all the jokes by now.

Jerry Seinfeld has alot of talent and charisma. If you liked the show Seinfeld then you will love this DVD. You wont be dissapointed. You want something to make you think and laugh out loud, then this is for you:)

The reason I purchased the DVD was to hear "more" of Jerry Seinfeld's comedy. However, the majority of what I actually saw was not more than "repeated jokes" that Jerry either said in his comedy series or in his book "seinlanguage". I don't deny that some are new but most are repeated. If you have watched the series or read the book, you are not really missing much!

This DVD was really funny! As a fan of the Seinfeld show and stand-up comedy in general, it was great to see Jerry return to his roots, where it all began and prove that he is still a master at stand-up comedy. Some of the jokes were expanded versions of his best material from the stand-up portion of the early TV shows and others were totally new. All were hilarious!

I saw "Jerry Seinfeld: Comedian" a while back and was actually quite disappointed but this DVD "Jerry Seinfeld Live on Broadway: I'm Telling You For the Last Time" was outstanding!

A masterpiece and a classic

I never started watching his TV show until the last season, silly me. His comedy is brilliant. I find myself viewing this performance every 4-6 months and it always delivers.

I absolutely loved this DVD. Seinfeld's dry, "observational humor" is nothing short of brilliant. I highly recommend this presentation!

Having only seen Seinfeld's series on TV that goes by the same name, it was great to have the opportunity to see him as a stand up comedian on DVD.

I'd never seen the DVD before, but some of the material sounded familiar... Perhaps it overlaps with some of the opening and closing live gags that are shown on the Seinfeld show?

You may notice that in his speel about the Chinese he lets the word "shovel" out too soon (when talking about the Chinese's perseverance with chopsticks), and thus spoils the joke a little bit. But Seinfeld is obviously a master of ad lib, so he managed to work around it.

A thoroughly recommendable DVD.

This is a really good DVD, I don't care what anybody says. There are some jokes which are not as great as the others, but these are few and very far between. It's not an impassioned performance by any means, but that is just not Jerry's style. He has a dryish sense of humour and is seldom animated. One thing for sure though is that Jerry is wickedly funny. His sarcastic style is somewhat innocent but excrutiatingly funny. It is almost socratic the manner in which Jerry pleads ignorance before poking fun at most human behaviours that we take no notice of. My favourite jokes are the ones on supermarkets and expiry dates on milk. The one about seedless watermelon is a classic. How about the knife that can cut through a shoe?!!!
Jerry's delivery is always smooth and perfectly timed. His facial expression (and lack thereof sometimes) adds to the depth of the joke. The material speaks for itself. He handles his material very well. His transitions are smooth and not forced. He speaks clearly and is easy to understand. There is no x-rated material and no profanity. It is easy for all and sundry to relate to the jokes, thus Jerry has cross-over appeal. This is the perfect entree into standup for the uninitiated.

jerry is one of the best out there, and this is one of his best performances. period.

Jerry Seinfeld. Enough said. If you're in need of a laugh, it just doesn't get any better than this.

This comedy dvd is one to keep forever. Seinfeld rolls out the stories and anecdotes with so much wit and talent. He is very funny from the start to the very end. It's clever, timeless and non offensive. Something you can re-watch over and over.
A definate must have for anyone's collection.

I had been listening to "I'm Telling You for the Last Time" on my iPod and enjoyed it a lot. I loved his TV show as well. I have all nine seasons of Seinfeld on DVD. I bought this on the "Buy 3 Get 1 Free" bargain. I was a little disappointed by the visual.

The man's hilarious. It just looked as if his time was being wasted on the stage.

I edited my review and want to change my rating to 4-stars but can't.

The intro to this DVD was kind of weird, and personally, i didn't get it, but who knows?, some might. There are many chapters in this DVD that I thought were funny, but it's not constant laughter for me, and my parents didn't think so either.

For someone who really wants to laugh the whole time, I'd suggest Ellen: Here and Now. Ellen DeGeneres can really make me laugh the whole time! And I'm not just saying that cuz I'm a kid. She talks about a lot of stuff EVERYONE will enjoy. Kids and adults.

Anyway, Seinfeld is funny, but not like others. I liked it a lot, but it's not my favorite.

Everyone knows or at least watched some episodes of the famouse show Jerry Seinfeld will be happy and stisfied getting this stand-up comedy show.

To sum the carrier of Jerry Seinfeld in a few simple words; "I'm telling you for the last time" doesn't only mark the end of this great artist's line up of shows, series and whatnots. It sets _the_ mark of stand-up comedy, and easily ends up as - well, why not - the greatest stand-up comedy shows in time. Jerry Seinfeld and his infamous comedy style has forever changed the genre and this very show, aired on HBO as live on Broadway, really shows why we all love Seinfeld's comedy style.

If cheap laughs, undesired "it's funny 'cuz it's true"-remarks and everyday comedy ever was the symptoms, "I'm Telling You For The Last Time" turns out as the cure. Even without sideeffects.

I am admittedly a big fan of the "Seinfeld" television show, but had never seen Jerry do standup except in small excerpts on talk shows. This is a brilliant look into why Seinfeld became so phenomenally popular in the first place: he is the true master of wry observations about everyday life. Seinfeld more than any other comedian has the knack to observe real-world events that are common knowledge to virtually everyone (cab rides, airport security, pharmacists, etc.) and find the darkly funny side of the scenario that we can all relate to. I am an airline employee, and his observations about the sad state of our industry are right on the mark; that's the beauty of Jerry's comedy, though: everyone can laugh, even at themselves.

This particular performance is utterly brilliant. Fans of the television show will note that several of his routines became major plot points in the series. Seinfeld delivers classic observations that are as funny the tenth time as they are the first.

The introduction is well done with well known comedians present at a funeral to bury Jerry's jokes ("I'm telling you for the last time!") The cameos by people like Robert Klein, Ed McMahon, and Jay Leno are great, but watching Garry Shandling try to steal Jerry's cast-off jokes is a true delight.

This performance is a 75 minute joy to watch. I love watching Jerry on television, but his standup is even better. I highly recommend this DVD.

Jerry Seinfeld shows the skills that make him one of the world's greatest stand ups. The only negative is that regular viewers of Seinfeld will already have heard many of the best routines.
Worth getting for the intro alone!

If you are a Seinfeld Fan, is a must have item. It's a collection of all his best stand-up shows.

I am not really a fan of the T.V. series Seinfeld, but a friend made me watch this stand up act and I was laughing so hard I was crying. I recommend this DVD for anyone. It is good clean humor that will make anyone laugh.

Yes, Seinfeld is always funny. Here's what he said about his comedic inspiration: "[Lois Nettleton] was married to Jean Shepherd. He's the guy who invented talk radio and really formed my entire comedic sensibility. Yes. I learned how to do comedy from Jean Shepherd." He said this in his commentary for "The Gymnast" episode on the sitcom's DVD set, sixth season.

i enjoyed this dvd. it is worth the money to have his classic material all in one place. glad a bought it. now looking forward to his new stuff.

The classic jokes from the show, told for the last time. A must have for Seinfeld fans

I bought this dvd as a birthday present for my brother who loved the Seinfeld series. He's the hardest person to shop for, but this seemed like a likely choice. He loved it and it's been a long time since I saw him laugh that hard for that long! THAT was success for me :) The DVD was in perfect condition and arrived very quickly! Thanks so much for helping me give him such a great gift!

The film was good, but it amounted to Jerry's stand up act from the hit show. The bits are all funny, bot there is no new material.

We rented this video several years ago and decided to buy it. Seinfeld is hysterical and is one of the few comedians that gets you laughing without alot of crude humor. We watched with our 12-year-old, who thought it was hysterical. Definitely worth buying.

Although you might feel that this material does not present anything new I must say it's a great compilation of Jerry's best bits. If you own some of the Seinfeld series DVDs or if you are a Seinfeld enthusiast you should have heard most of the jokes in the disc. However it's nice to be able to watch them uninterruptedly.

Jerry Seinfeld is a genious at comedy. When I first got this DVD, I started crying I was laughing so hard. He's just laid back not trying to make you laugh, just talking up there. It's just like our everyday life but funnier. I've listened to it about 500 times but it still makes me crack up. Seinfeld became my favorite show and it made my life interesting. He's a genious.

I just recently saw Jerry live in march of 2005. And then i watched this dvd today in april. I thought both were very good. I thought he was more enthusiastic about being there recently in 2005. He just seemed happier to be on stage than he did in 1998. None the less this dvd from back in 1998 was very funny. He still talked about very funny things and it still made me laugh a lot.

The material on the dvd was very funny one of my favorite chapters related to Mcdonalds...it was a short chapter but very funny. anouther favorite involved doctors and stuff related to that.

The intro to the dvd was very cheezy but at the same time pretty funny.

I still rated this 5 stars because it made me laugh a lot even though it seemed as if he was going through the motions and was a little burned out in 1998 right after the show and all.

The Q and A section of the dvd is also very funny even though it is only under 5 minutes. it showed that he could have a great comback for almost anything.

All and all i would reccomend this dvd to anyone that was a fan of the show or just a fan of jerry. I would not let this substitue seeing him live because when i saw him a month ago it was all new material and he just seemed more enthusiastic about everything because he does not do it as much anymore.

The bottom line is that the $10 is worth the price of watching this dvd and it is one i will watch again in the future.

This CD (also available in DVD and VHS formats) is the recording of Seinfeld's finale that aired on HBO a few months after Seinfeld wound up. If you are a Seinfeld regular, you will recognize many of the jokes. But it is so much better hearing it in the context of his routine. I play it in my car on my way to work if I am in the mood for some laughs, and it never fails to deliver. Great CD that you can listen to over and over. I had the DVD for a while too, but there is only so many times you can watch the routine.

If you like Seinfeld, you might check out his movie "Comedian", a documentary about how he rebuilds his material after retiring all his material from this CD. It is quite entertaining - and the audio commentary from Seinfeld on the DVD may even be better than the movie itself.
