Editorial Review: Description: DVD Features: Biographies Interactive Menus Interviews Other:Audience Q&A Amazon.com: When Seinfeld wrapped up its ninth and final season in the spring of 1998, the popular show's namesake and cocreator decided to offer a symbolic gesture to his fans. Taped for HBO in August 1998, on the final date of Jerry Seinfeld's tour appearances at New York City's Broadhurst Theater, I'm Telling You for the Last Time presents the standup comedian's so-called "final" standup, or at least his final tour with the standup material that made him famous. The video opens with a great prologue in which Seinfeld's old material is literally laid to rest, with many of Seinfeld's comedy colleagues in attendance at the "funeral." (Jay Leno is there, but David Letterman is conspicuously absent, and while it's a bit self-congratulatory to show Seinfeld's fellow comedians fighting like vultures over his abandoned jokes, it's worth it just to see Garry Shandling pilfering from the catering table like a homeless intruder.) Whether he's talking about airline flights, cab drivers, or memories of Halloween and an ill-fitting Superman costume, Seinfeld's observational humor is as timeless and sharp as the day he first performed it. Even the most familiar routines (such as the one about pharmacists with a superiority complex) are like old friends who still haven't overstayed their welcome. Seinfeld's delivery is polished to a shine--he's a consummate professional--and an impromptu Q&A with his appreciative audience demonstrates that he's equally adept with a fast and witty comeback. This performance certainly wouldn't be the last we'd see of Jerry Seinfeld, but from the perspective of phenomenal fame and fortune, it's a fitting farewell to the classic "bits" that took him to the top. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Seinfeld is finally funny to meDisclaimer - I hate the Seinfeld show. That being said... I bought this as an aspiring comic as a study. I was pleasantly surprised at how amazing it was. I never realized how much physicality went into his performances. His set up is brilliant. And he just keeps it moving. I've watched it dozens of times and I am blown away every time. Get it. Rating: - I'm Telling You for the Last TimeI was completely satisfied with the dvd, it captures Jerry at his best. I was laughing from start to finish its a must have for any true fan of Jerry Seinfeld. A few of the bits in the show are recogonizeable from the intros in his sitcom ,Seinfeld, along with plenty more that reflect his career up untill '98. If your a fan of Seinfeld you must add this to your collection. Rating:  - DivertidisimoRealmente unico el poder ver en escena a Jerry Seinfeld, cierto que algunas de estas bromas las vimos como parte de su show de tv, pero el ver todo su espectaculo es genial. Lo unico malo es que no incluya subtitulos en español. Rating: - Jerry Seinfeld - Live on Broadway - Funny Stuff.Jerry Seinfeld is good at being funny. This DVD doesn't let you down! He sees everyday things that we all notice and finds a way to make them funny. You'll often find yourself thinking "That is so true!" Another plus is the fact that Jerry doesn't swear at all which is always a difference when talking about stand up comdedians. The only minus i can think of is you can watch it once and then remember most of the jokes, which makes the next time you watch it not quite as funny. It's also missing ...
