Going by the amount of laughs in relation to the running time... this is pretty unimpressive
I've always liked Jonatan Spang... he's a funny little(literally... he's short) comedian, who has a style of exploding in angry, loud rants occasionally. ... Yes, I think I do tend to like aggressive (stand-up) comedy. Anyway, mostly, he's quite funny. He's often all over the place, joking about everything. Here, he determines a central topic... ladies. Maybe that's where it went wrong. In the interview(which takes ten minutes... a note to anyone who hasn't already seen this; the 130 minutes is the 1 hour and 15 minutes of the regular show, the 10 minutes of interview and the last show... which I believe is around 45 minutes, but I never watched more than a few minutes of it, as Rune Klan(read my comments on him in my review of Den Ægte Vare) is in it), he also mentions that he's into theater... and that this was an attempt to mix that with comedy. As I'm not terribly into theater, this might also explain my low opinion of it. My father and his girlfriend not actually really liking it, either, however(as at least he has been known to enjoy theater), is harder to explain. He also mentions how he goes through various views on women... from a male chauvinist to, well, a woman. The humor often comes off as childish and in spite of many great efforts, you simply find yourself sitting and watching this, minutes passing... and not a single laugh. Many jokes work great, several of them are *really* funny... but so much of his material is just too based on shock value, crudeness or "silly" humor, laughing at stupidity. He has a fair bit of energy, but you just find yourself sitting around, waiting for the next good joke to come around... for far too long. The DVD, apart from aforementioned extra show and interview(which is fair), also features a commentary track with two females(presumably stand-up comedians) reacting to his show. Good for perspective. Exposing a few truths and featuring some(but frighteningly few) really good points and punchlines, this is just above average... but only *just*. I recommend this to fans of crude, sexual humor, and the biggest of Spangs fans. Most anyone else should probably just skip this. 6/10
