Greg Behrendt Is Uncool Autographed DVD VIDEO SIGNED comedian stand-up live show Type: Movie Platform: DVD Publisher: Warner Bros Released: 2005 Media: DVD Comedian Greg Behrendt's 2004 book, "He's Just Not That Into You: the No-Excuses Truth to Undersanding Guys", sold 2 million copies and hit #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list. On its heels, Behrendt makes his DVD debut with Greg Behrendt Is Uncool, a live performance taped in August at the San Jose Improv. An examination of a rocker turned suburban dad struggling to hang on to his last threads of coolness, Greg Behrendt Is Uncool is going to be hot. Track Listing: Intro - Do It Dude - Col. Nick - Chain Wallet - Adult Rock Show - Air Guitar - CD Repair Guy - Ointment - Chicken Situation - I Don't Understand My Robe - My Sexy Faces - Crybaby Spiderman - Tattoos For Daddy - A Free Sunday? - Pictionary - I'm No Picnic - Playmate Playdate - He's Just Not That Into You - You Must Rock - Baby Rawk - Black Rattle! -Greg Behrendt--famous as the co-author of best-selling self-help book He's Just Not That Into You and a consultant for Sex in the City--has also been a standup comic for over 15 years. Greg Behrendt Is Uncool captures his most recent tour, on which he capitalizes on his unexpected rise to fame by chronicling the physical and psychological indignities of getting older: Hipster cd player repairmen insulting his music; discovering that it is, in fact, possible to sleep wrong; playing Black Sabbath to his daughter in her crib in the forlorn hope of fostering future coolness in her eyes. When Behrendt leans on his self-help success--which, fortunately, he doesn't overdo--it's actually pretty funny. His description of an adult rock show kills, but any comic who spends over five minutes riffing on Pictionary may have a shortage of A-material. Still, there's no question that viewers who feel they're sliding into the whirlpool of irrelevance will identify with Behrendt's humor. The dvd also includes a couple of short films; one interviews assorted folk (like comedian David Cross and ex-Playmate Jenny McCarthy, though the film itself is too cool to identify its interviewees) on the topic of cool, the other is an overextended joke about Behrendt forming a band that doesn't actually play music. --Bret FetzerFor DVD Player (North American NTSC)
