Not quite what I expected, but still entertaining
I was hoping this would have poigniant observations about the failure of the war on drugs, the hypocracy of society's view of them, etc. Despite the cover of this cd claiming this is comedy about the war on drugs, it is more accurately an eclectic mix of drug humor. and though a handful of the comics do this, the majority of this cd is just various psychadelic anecdotes.

This album does have it's high points, however. David Cross's contribution is particularly hilarious, and there's even an old Lenny Bruce bit at the end. Throughout the whole album I was frequently introduced to comedians who I didn't know of, or had not heard stand-up from, and in that sense, "The Good, The Bad, and The Drugly" is a good "gateway" album.

The bottom line for me is that though this is a compilation of many great comedians, some of which it's hard find stand-up for (Bob Odenkirk and Blaine Capatch come to mind), this album is far less substantive that I had hoped.


The Good, The Okay and the Dull.
Each comic does a short bit on the subject of drugs, either from a personal or political viewpoint, as well as some musical filler tracks. As a huge fan of stand up, I was excited to finally pick up this collection of bits from some of my favorite comics.

Sadly, many of the bits fall flat. They're just too short and lack punch. As part of a larger set, drug commentary can be funny, even for people who have not experimented with drugs. It's everyman humor. In these tiny clips, there is no cohesion. . . nothing holding the bits together. The best bits complete the thoughts on their own. Kevin Nealon quizzing the audience on what joke ideas he developed while sober or while high, for example. It's also nice to have a recording of some Taylor Negron stand up.

Several of the bits are simply humorous stories, but don't really go anywhere. Think of the kind of thing you would find in Reader's Digest. . . but about cocaine.

And then there are these random remixes sprinkled in. Most are less than a minute in length, and serve no purpose. Maybe to add a party album element. They just take old dialog samples about drugs and put them against a beat. Filler tracks.

Overall, I was disappointed. Might be worth a look if found in a cut-out bin, but otherwise there are no gems strong enough in this collection to warrant a purchase.
