Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Did you people see the same film I saw?

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

King of the one-liner, insult comedy, strange lying-down comedy, meta comedy, musical comedy. This is a SPECIAL special. This film of a Zach G stand-up set captures a comedian at the peak of his powers, completely self-deprecatory and self-deconstructive, if that's a thing, Zach is just plain funny. That's all you need to know. The only moments that didn't work for me bordered on insult-comedy and audience- participation, the sort of moments normally aimed at hecklers. Just not a fan of that sort of thing. They still worked well to showcase how quick Zach is, because he bounces instantly off something the audience-member says into something brilliant. The chief genre here is one-liner. If you don't care for one-liners, steer clear. If you've never seen a Zach G comedy set (like I hadn't) highly recommended.

Zach Galifianakis's first feature-length special, following the "Look Who It Isn't" compilation. Features one of his stand-up sets with footage of Zach on the road and an interview with "Zach's twin brother" interspersed. His material consists of one liners, wordplay, crowd work and general weirdness. Zach style has a relaxed, natural feel, but at times comes off more sloppy and unprepared. Fortunately, Galifianakis is downright lovable and his ad-Ibs tend to be dynamite, so that does buy him a little slack. His innovation in how he presents his material can be better than the material itself, though he does have some solid laughs on here. Starts slow, but has a killer finish.

Zach Gach-fix-kin-ass-key is one of the freshest comedians walking the comedy beat today, he has created a very original style of comedy and the best way I can describe it is to call it "venting". You know that feeling of awkward hilarity when someone does something embarrassing and you cant help but laugh? he tends to blend that, with making fun of himself and his past and I have to say that I cant remember the last time I laughed so hard. His comedic style beats the HELL out of Dane Cook's overcooked garbage. My favorite quote from the film is "When you look like I do it's hard to get a table for one at a Chuck E' Cheese." I cant really say much more other than there should be a movie made about Zach's "brother" Seth Galifiankis.

For the most part, Zach Galifianakis: Live at the Purple Onion made me laugh-out-loud. I loved the incredibly odd sense of humor Zach portrays, whether drunk or acting drunk. His one-liner zings of racism, idiocracies or just observations while looking (again) intoxicated or simply uninterested, make the whole act. You have to like this type of humor. You certainly have to have an open mind.I loved his act, which in some ways mimics the comic genius of Seth Macfarlane – neither are afraid of ridiculing their sponsors, Netflix and Fox, respectively. Part of his show was his "twin brother" Seth in a hilarious interview from NPR's Brian Unger (watch the DVD extras – adds to the humor), but mostly it's Zach on stage in his dry, very dry sense of humor as he beats up the audience, who don't seem to mind that he's biting the hand that fed him. (I especially liked the "old man" in front and the Sims 2 guy.) I first saw, or began aware of, Zach in The Hangover, of which he was my favorite amongst the foursome in Vegas. After watching this live comedy stand-up, it's almost as if he sold-out to do that movie. But after further thought, it just proves he's more of a real comic master (case in point, Seth) who has a lot of range and is not one of those whiney, spoiled comedians who are too picky or set in their ways. I would certainly put him close to the top of my favorite comedians of all time.So, if you like real, fearless and uncensored humor (and dirty, as well) give this a shot. Side Note: I HATE censored anything, so this fit just perfect for me.
