Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

Wide-ranging political observation and witty commentary on daily events combine on this tape. No topic is off limits to Maher's monologs. He dishes up humorous doses of insights into topics such as O.J. Simpson's criminal trial, election traumas and candidate foibles, and personalities and celebrities from politics to fashion and entertainment, always ending each monolog with "It's all been satirized for your protection." To help the listener better appreciate the material, each sketch has a brief introduction to place the content in the time in which it was originally delivered. Of course, humor is in the ear of the listener, but these pieces all provide amusement. Recommended.?Denise A. Garofalo, Mid-Hudson Lib. System, Poughkeepsie, N.Y.

4.0 out of 5 stars Could have been better, but still worth it., Mar 14 2004

This review is from: Political Incorrections: The Best Opening Monologues from Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher (Audio Cassette)
This tape is a collection of monologues from the show when it was on Comedy Central. While the monologues are funny, space is wasted by the shows music and the introduction of the guests for each show. The space saved could have been used for more jokes, but it still worth a listen.

1.0 out of 5 stars One minute monologues followed by guest introductions, Aug 18 1999

This review is from: Political Incorrections: The Best Opening Monologues from Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher (Audio Cassette)
If you're looking for some humorous political commentary, you won't find it here. The audio book consists of a series of one minute monologues in which Maher lays out the topics to be discussed on the show, followed by the guest introductions. There aren't any clips of the guests or Maher actually discussing those topics. Frankly there is nothing humorous or entertaining about listening to a series of topics and guest introductions. It's a waste of time and money.

4.0 out of 5 stars You'll get a kick out of the many jokes, Aug 9 2007
By Blaine Greenfield "eclectic reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Political Incorrections: The Best Opening Monologues from Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher (Audio Cassette)
D. Bill Maher has been a comedian I've enjoyed for a long time . . . so
when I got hold of his audio book, POLITICAL INCORRECTIONS, I
was naturally looking forward to listening to it.

Its premise intrigued me, too . . . dubbed the "best opening monologues
from hit show POLITICALLY INCORRECT," I listened with the expectation
that I'd laugh loud and often--much as I had done when I watched the
show when it was on the air.

For the most part, I did get quite a kick out of the book . . . it gave me a
great opportunity to revisit much of the 1990s (POLITICAL
INCORRECTIONS came out in 1996) and once again hear about
such popular stories of the day involving OJ, Pee Wee Herman,
Cathy Lee, Michael Jackson, and a whole host of others.

There were countless jokes fired in the typical Maher fashion with
his promise that the material has been "satirized for your
protection" . . . among just a few of those that caused me
to pause while I was driving to write them down were the following:

* [on the trend to remake old movies]
In the 90s, they had to be politically correct. So next year, they're
coming out with THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE FACIALLY
CHALLENGED.

* [on Clinton's cabinet]
It is starting to look like the Temptations. There are no original
members.

* [on a recent vote in California]
61% of people voted for the proposition to limit services to illegal
aliens. The other 39% are illegal aliens.

* [on Sonny Bono going to Congress]
Exit polls show he got in with a strong coalition of gypsies,
tramps and thieves.

* [on Pee Wee Herman auditioning for a role in HOW TO SUCCEED
IN BUSINESS]
He said he could hold his own in the theater.

* [on Colin Powell commenting how Bush and Reagan were hostile to
on the race issue]
They wrote him back and told him to stop being
so uppity.

* [on St. Thomas being pounded so hard by hurricanes]
It is no longer considered a virgin island.

* [on the OJ decision]
Justice is blind. I just didn't know she was
such a big football fan.

* [on Keith Richard having a grandson]
They can tell who he is because he has so many wrinkles and his nose
is covered with white powder.

* [on a survey of American sexual behavior]
American males came in last in almost every category except one:
They were first in coming first!

My only criticism of POLITICAL INCORRECTIONS had to do
with the inclusion of each night's guests . . . they added nothing
to the book and could have easily been eliminated.
