Music reviews of The O'Franken Factor Factor: The Very Best of The O'Franken Factor
Music Review: Excruciatingly slow pacing ruins moderately good ideas.
Rating: 1 Stars
Like M.E. Reeves said, the slow pacing of these bits ruin whatever comedic impact they might have had. Like most reviewers, I agree that "Flippity-Floppity" and Bebe Neurwith as Ann Coulter are the disc's highlights.
But I'll go a step further -- and get LOTS OF "UNHELPFUL" VOTES ON MY REVIEW BY ANGRY FANS -- and add that these comedy bits could only be moderately funny in the first place. GO AHEAD, ASSUME I'M A CONSERVATIVE AND HIT THAT "NO" BUTTON NOW. You'll feel better.
Now, Franken is funny. "LateLine" and "Stuart Saves His Family" and ALL his books are funny and brilliant. But in many ways, this CD misses the mark. I suspect I'm missing out on much better moments during the broadcast, and that I'll appreciate the show when I get satellite radio -- oh, but you don't really believe me, do you?
UPDATE: Air America was picked up in my area, and now I understand: The Al Franken Show works well at interviewing interesting guests, but it is NOT a particularly funny show. (If you think "The Oy-Yoi-Yoi Show" is a gut-buster, we just aren't speaking the same language!) Summary: Good for politics. Bad for comedy. I can't imagine what you're thinking when you add another "unhelpful" vote. I'm just trying to tell you, it's not FUNNY. It has a good "point" (the NeoCons are insane liars, yes) but comedically, it fails. That's all.
Do you think you're "fighting the good fight" if you vote No on my review?
