Todd Barry: Super Crazy

i loved Medium Energy and Falling of the Bone, but Super Crazy was a miss.
If you're a fan of Todd Barry, then you're no stranger to Todd's delivery style and "gay timing." However, his material in Super Crazy wasn't doing it for me. It's not that you won't laugh at all because it's still Todd and you can't beat his raspy sarcasm. But the jokes didn't go far enough and stayed too linear to get the big laugh. It's all pretty much new material, but i didn't take away the jokes like i did with his classics previous bits such as the Ramada In, i <3 roe vs wade, sisqo's bidet, and Coke vs. Pepsi. Which is ironic because i looove Todd Barry, but i didn't love Super Crazy.

...I can hear it now how Todd might complain about this review on stage, "i was reading the first and only review on amazon for the last special i did, it was 3 stars, and the guy used the phrase "too linear"...

Anyways, if you're a fan you should buy it and support him. If you're new to Todd, i would start with his earlier albums because those are his masterpieces.

Medium energy x4
His first album nailed his approach and this album parodies it with more of the same. I love it and can't get enough of it. He can't write fast enough. It is comforting to know he's such a good actor and equally hilarious.

Todd Fan
I have every Todd Barry CD , DVD and this was the weakest of them all.
Having said that it still had enough laughs and Todd Barry to be a hit.
If you like this you;ll love Todd's other CDs.
