What a waste of my time!!!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Bar hopping around the United states and his global tour would take you into the night life of bar hopping and drinking but would also dive right into late night jobs such as waste management, Radio DJ's, PEst control and oh yes Fetish clubs...Everyone was real and no staged actors needed!With his camera man Brian, Dave Attell would lead you on a drunken ride with only the sunrise to let you know it was time for the show and the night to come to an end.Dave Attell is one of the funniest raunchy, clever and improv comedians of our time. It was such a amazing show to watch when I was in high school and is still one of the best reality TV show to date.

Ever since I watched this show I felt a kinship to Dave right from the get go. His booze and tobacco filled irreverent night time behavior is right up and down my alley. What a shame only 4 seasons were ever made. I personally feel ripped off by Comedy Central. This show was really good then Comedy Central pulls the freaking plug and Insomniac is not seen again except in Holiday Seasonal Marathons.I wish and want Dave Attell to buy out the rights to this show and then start putting out straight to DVD and Blu Ray Box Set Seasons. With Straight To Video Episodes Dave Attell can step over the boundaries set by The FCC plus Comedy Central's Standards and Practices and really go for broke. This show is in my opinion better than what is being shown on Comedy Central save for South Park.

I happened to see Dave Attell on Comedy Central when his first special aired in 1999 and I thought his material and delivery were amongst the best in the realm of comedy. So, it was a pleasant surprise when I saw an ad on that very same channel two years later for a show called "Insomniac." I've got to tell you, this show is fantastic. Not only do you get to follow Attell through some of the weirdest and craziest stuff that goes on late at night in various cities throughout the US (and with the 2003 season, throughout the world), you get to see Dave at perhaps his best. Brief selections from his act are featured at the top of each show, which are always a treat, but Attell actually works best when he's working off the cuff. His spur-of-the-moment comments to the various debauchery his witnesses are priceless and really make this show worth watching time and time again. This program deserves to remain on the air for years to come...and probably will, considering there will never be a shortage of drunken oddballs walking this Earth.

"Insomniac" never fails to make me laugh out loud!Much of the humor of "Insomniac" comes from the unintended absurdity of the situations that Dave Attell encounters during his nocturnal adventures: big hairy men in blue jeans and leather harnesses whipping each other with a cat o'nine tails in a Boise gay bar; a group of women celebrating a batchelorette party walking down the street with a 6-foot tall inflatable penis; the sometimes incoherent, often nonsensical ramblings of the various street people he meets, etc. "Insomniac" gives credence to the phrase that "you just can't make this stuff up", and this show is proof that reality is often funnier - much funnier - than fiction.Dave always keeps things moving for the viewer with his great wisecracks and observations. I love the time he was at the Bunnyland Ranch in Nevada - a legal brothel. The house "madam" was giving Dave a tour of the place, including all the "role-playing" rooms (ex., one with a giant crib for people into that sort of thing), when they walk by the business office. Dave says something like, "Is this a real office or part of someone's fantasy" - funny because after seeing the role-playing rooms, now it's plausible that customers could come to live out an office-based sexual fantasy, and Dave's comment articulates the humor of this "anything goes" environment. Dave's follow-up comment: "Could I have sex on the fax machine?" Hostess: "We can arrange just about anything for you"."Insomniac" is definitely in-the-moment humor that you have to watch firsthand to appreciate. Many of the situations are sexually suggestive...or just downright sexually explicit (images of taboo body parts are screened out)...but this isn't exploitation, because it's all just part of the everyday (everynight?) human behavior that Dave brings us to see. But don't get the wrong idea - "Insomniac" is not just a survey of sexual fetishes. Dave also introduces us to the people who work through the night to keep the world running: sewage plant workers, coal miners, police officers, firemen, among others. While cracking jokes about the jobs these folks have to do and the environments they work in, Dave also helps us appreciate just what these people actually do for a living, often toiling away in anonymity while the rest of us sleep. In that sense, "Insomniac" is more of an urban athropology study (with sarcastic commentary) than a comedy show.There's a reason this show is on late at nite, but if you're not uptight and can appreciate the humor in the absurdity of human behavior, you won't be disappointed!
