I need more!, 2008-06-17
I read a lot of reviews on here before I bought this DVD and it made me kind of nervous. A good portion of the negative reviews (and even some positive reviews) said steer clear of this DVD if you liked the "dumbed-down Comedy Central Zach", but I didn't find this to be the case. I couldn't stop laughing through most of the DVD, so much so that I had to rewind it a few times because I was missing a few one-liners. br / br /My only complaint is that I could have used more stand up, but it in no way detracts from the DVD as a whole. The extras were great (albeit short) and the cut scenes to random...Zachness...were all pretty hilarious. br / br /Don't be frightened away by the "It's not for you Comedy Central Zach fans, It's only for us uber intellectual and gritty college types", the sh** is funny. It is however super inappropriate for certain age groups, so don't buy this for a family reunion or anything like that. Buy this DVD now...and you might want to do a few prep-crunches to get your abs ready for the oncoming juggernaut of laughter. br /

Not worth it, 2008-03-07
It shouldn't be called "Live at the Purple Onion" but more "Semi-Live at the Purple Onion but More Fake Interviews with my 'Brother.'" There's barely any stand-up in it. I love his comedy, he's one of my favourites, but this DVD isn't worth it.

Zach talked about this video on the Onion AV Club. He talked about how it was his intention for this to lack the gloss of the normal production. It shows at times and before understanding his intention can put you off. br / br /It's very much Zach, so similar to his mantra, that he doesn't care what other people think is funny, only what makes him laugh. br / br /I enjoyed it, the interview helped me see it in a different light as well.

Totally worth watching again and again!, 2008-01-01
This Zach Galifianakis DVD is one of my all time Comedy favorites! The first time I watched it I had to pause the DVD every 5 minutes to catch my breath 'cause I laughed so hard! I've watched it so many times since - and it still has me laughing! He is so brilliant... there's no one like him for timing and delivery... and his acting is superb... just check out the interviews with his brother Seth! I've bought this DVD for gifts and everyone I've given it to adores him now... You can't go wrong... Zach will never let you down!
