Robin Williams is obviously a funny guy. And whether he is the genie in Aladdin or as blue as that creature from the magic lamp in his stand-up, he always cracks me up- regardless of the setting. And in my opinion, that is the true test of all well-rounded comedian. This album, like his others, is very topical. Even when played now, just two years later, it sounds dated. That doesn't mean it's any less funny though. As a very liberal voice, his commentary on Sarah Palin and the aftermath of the Bush administration is no surprise. My favorite routines on this album though are the ones about technology (particularly the bit about the GPS), and how male and female reproductive organs were designed. The latter, in particular, is one of his best routines ever and can stand alongside his other classics like "Golf" and "Alcohol" from each of his earlier albums.
