 MEET
THE CREEPS (Florentine
Productions) Comedy. Approx
67 minutes. Not rated. Using a hidden camera to capture their folly,
head Creeps Jim
Florentine (Terrorizing
Telemarketers, Crank Yankers, frequent guest on The Howard Stern Show) and
Don Jamison (I think he’s a stand up comic),
team up with a clan of other Creeps to annoy and aggravate various victims
with their pranks. Trust me, these pranks are as hilarious as they are
childish, and that’s a very good thing. Joining Jim and Don is a
collection of unsavory, comedy standup riff raff; KC Armstrong (Stern
Show), Artie Lang (movies, tv, Stern Show), Jim
Norton (Opie & Anthony Show - I think this guy is one of the
funniest pricks out there), Club Soda Kenny (I have no idea who this
creature is, but damn he’s a fabulous Creep), Gary Gentile (no idea),
and Chuck Mignanelli (again, no idea). Together, this fine ensemble
basically pulls every prank in the book…other than picking their noses
and wiping it on people (hey, maybe I’ll do that and ask to be part of
Creeps 2). Eighteen pranks and two animated bits make up this symphony of
shenanigans.
Along with being a huge Jim Florentine and Jim Norton
fan, I also just happen to love these types of pranks. So as you might
imagine, Meet the Creeps filled my day with hysterical laughter. No, I am
not going to reveal the pranks pulled, as that would ruin the DVD.
However, I will write that I could have watched 20 hours of Jim Norton and
Club Soda Kenny performing their “Autistic” caper. Honestly, I was on
the floor laughing like a crazed lunatic. Yes, there is some potty humor
that may gross you out, but everyone needs a little potty prank every now
and then. After viewing a performance he liked, Johnny Carson, former host
of The Tonight Show, would often turn to his co-host and say “That’s
good stuff, Ed.” Well, after viewing this DVD, I’d bet Johnny would
turn to his co-host and say, “That’s good stuff, Ed…pull my
finger.” Very funny DVD. – Denis Sheehan
