This is an underrated Adam Sandler album. It is a pleasant return to skits, and his songs are an improvement from his previous effort as well. The dirty humor is still there, but there is a bit more humanity in it. "The Champion" is a really funny skit about a golf champion who falls apart while playing on the course. "Inner Voice" is a skit about a guy nervously flirting with a girl while listeners hear his inner voice as it tries to play it cool for her. And the most interesting of them all, "Whitey," is a fifteen minute plus conversation between two guys at a food court in the mall. It shouldn't work, but it does. It is very funny and a bit touching at the same time. My only issue with the album is that I wish it didn't end on a such a dark comedic note with "The Psychotic Legend of Uncle Donnie." Other than that though, this is a great album and an excellent addition to Adam Sandler's impressive body of work.
