(4 out of 5 stars)

"This two disc collection features 2 1/2 more hours of bad acting, bad comedy, bad rock 'n' roll, bad everything. Here is what is one here:



Disc One



Barbra Streisand gets mad when her headphones don't work.

Elton John reads a vulgar commercial for the Pink Pussycat Boutique.

Tiny Tim sings "Santa Claus Has Got the AIDS This Year".

Laverne Baker & Jackie Wilson sing a dirty version of their song "Think Twice".

William Shatner tells the story about the time Koko the Gorilla grabbed his balls.

A "medley" of Bing Crosby messing up songs and then cursing.

Dean Martin sings "I Enjoy Being a Fag".

A "medley" of Elvis Presley substituting curse words for the lyrics in his songs.

Lenny Bruce gets arrested while performing on stage.

Jim Morrison throws a fit during a Doors concert.

Hank Williams performs an angry, drunken rendition of "Family Tradition" on stage.

Linda McCartney's off-key background vocals are isolated during a live performance of husband Paul's "Hey Jude".

An out-of-it Brian Wilson performs an embarrassingly bad live version of "Barbara Ann".

Heavy metal band Venom's vapid between-song drivel at one of their concerts is heard, with the songs cut out.

James Brown gives an incoherent interview where he mostly just repeats titles of his songs.

Stevie Nicks puts too much thought into singing "Happy Birthday"

Baseball manager Lee Elia rants about Chicago Cubs fans.

Sammy Petrillo makes very funny crank phone calls.

William Conrad curses while recording the radio show Gunsmoke.

Jack Benny performs at a Friars Club Roast.



Speaking of the Friars Club, all of Disc Two features material from Friars Club Roasts. The Friars Club is a club for professional comedians. Periodically, they get together to pay "tribute" to one of their members with a Roast. A "Roast" is like the opposite of a "Toast", where instead of saying nice things about the honoree, they make fun of the guest of honor. Most of the jokes told are dirty and nasty, but it's all in fun. The performers featured here are: Milton Berle, Dean Martin, Ken Berry, Jackie Gayle, Flip Wilson, Jack E. Leonard, Ed Sullivan, Johnny Carson, Pat Paulson, William B. Williams, Norm Crosby, Don Rickles, George Jessel, Red Buttons, Lauren Bacall, Alan King, Charles Coburn, Maurice Chevalier, Phil Silvers, Jan Murray, George Burns, Art Linkletter, Jack Carter, Phyllis Diller, Edgar Bergen, Jack Benny, Rob Reiner, Garry Shandling, Buddy Hackett, Robin Williams, John Byner, Pat Cooper and Billy Crystal.



This is pretty funny stuff, if you like this sort of thing.
