Jerry Seinfeld: I'm Telling You for the Last Time (1998)

The guy is a professional. the timings are good. the speech is good. and that's all. everything soft. everything obvious. nothing that might offend anyone. mildly amusing at best.

The 'Seinfeld' TV show is over and Jerry is retiring his comic routines. Celebrities of the era join Jerry at a funeral service where they've gathered to bury his bits. Jerry must have had quite a pull with his fellow comedians because we see top flight names like George Carlin, Jay Leno, Alan King, Garry Shandling and a few others either grieving or attempting to grab a few recorded jokes out of the coffin. It was a clever way to open the show, right after a kid on the street in New York City begged Jerry to do his routine one more time.Jerry's stand up is just like his TV show, it's a lot of funny stuff about nothing in particular, just observations of everyday life that border on the hilarious. He even reveals the big secret of what men think about - 'Nothing'. Among other things, Jerry riffs on airports, old folks retiring in Florida, Halloween and CANDY!, supermarket shopping, doctor visits, Silver Medal winners and horse races. The segments flow quite naturally from one to the next, and he augments his observations with body language and activity across the stage which only makes his bits funnier. The guy really is a comic genius and even if you're not a fan per se, I think you'd get a kick out of at least parts of his routine. His humor is timeless, and even though this show is twenty years old as I write this, I have no doubt that you could watch it at any time and be amused by Jerry Seinfeld's brand of humor.

Jerry Seinfeld is a comedic genius! He is the only comedian I know that is so insanely funny without using any profanity. It's so refreshing to hear a comedian not swear every few seconds. His jokes and stories are so relate-able, I think that's what makes all of them so funny. Hearing jokes about common everyday things is funnier than hearing some comics' made up story about a very unlikely experience. Moments in this movie you will be rolling on the floor laughing no matter how old you are. The audience in the movie are really lively, that's always good. You tend to laugh less if there's a tough crowd. Jerry is such a likable guy and so is this performance. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to laugh

Jerry Seinfeld is one of my favorite comedians. His materials and observational humor are always fresh and hilarious because of his superb delivery style.A few years ago, we were so happy to find a copy of his HBO special at a local video store. We bought it without hesitation. Haven't watched it for a few years, but recently, we decided to pop it in the VCR and watch it again. We were pleased that all of his jokes were still very funny and relevant. The HBO special "I'm Telling You for the Last Time" was for Seinfeld to perform his routines one last time before retiring them for good. Here is a recap of his materials in the HBO special: Cab Drivers, Air Travel, Florida, Halloween, Supermarkets, Drugstores, Doctors, Men & Women, McDonald's, Chinese People, Olympics, Scuba Diving, No. 1 Fear, Sky Diving/The Helmet, Clothing, Late TV, Crooks, Horses, and Bathroom.I'm sure in a few years when we pop it in the VCR again, it would still be very funny and watchable. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
