DVD Reviews of Dana Carvey: Squatting Monkeys Tell No Lies
DVD Review: Pure Genius
Summary: 5 Stars
Dana Carvey is the most imaginative comedian working today. He doesn't tell jokes, and he doesn't just "do impressions", though he's a great impressionist. He just points out all the funny and ironic things in life-- all the things we know are true and that everybody has noticed on some level-- but that nobody else has ever risked saying out loud. He's occasionally profane, but never offensive. He's satirical, but never really nasty-- and when he mimics and satirizes certain politicians he captures things about their essence and compares them to something familiar in a surprising and funny way. If you're a huge fan of George W. Bush or Dick Cheney, you may not appreciate Carvey's great impressions of them, which are spot-on. But if you like both Reagan and Obama, Bush, Sr. and Gore, Bill and Hillary, he manages to make fun of all of them without being cruel. And he managed to bring his impressions of them all together on one stage in a way that was brilliant rather than gratuitous. His great impression of Schwarzenegger isn't just about the Austrian accent, but rather captures the whole guy in a way no other comic can. Carvey is a gifted musician who doesn't over-use his musical gifts. He creates juxtapositions of thought that are brilliant. His "takes" on the 2008 election and religion are unique, hilarious, but never really nasty. He can take "tired" subjects- like talking about middle age and the health ailments that come with it-- and make them hysterically funny in a whole new way. His impression of his heart doctors and their various approaches to "bedside manner" is priceless because it's so true to everyone's experience. His observations comparing past and present child-rearing practices perfectly capture what everyone is thinking these days when they see over-solicitous parents with their spoiled toddlers, but nobody really says. His energy is unflagging and his brain crackles with creativity-- at middle age, Dana Carvey is still at the peak of his game, which is all the more remarkable if you know his health history. I don't know how he does it, and, as with all great comedians, it's almost impossible to describe what Dana Carvey actually does on stage. But you can see his routines and this HBO special again and again and laugh every time. He's truly one of a kind.
