Ridiculous 2006 Album

Review
There are some solid moments here, but much of it doesn’t come close to his stand-up. 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' is genuinely clever, drawing attention to just how ridiculous the lyrics really are. 'The Fantastic Four' works in a similar way, poking fun at how the four heroes are named. 'World's First Two Gay Guys' starts off funny, but it’s followed by two more skits that drag the idea out and become grating, featuring a man shouting for minutes on end. The 'Hidden Track' is amusingly set up with an explanation of why it’s “hidden”, before revealing itself as a recording of his Star Search stand-up set. There are also recurring tracks built around a commentator obsessively rooting for a player or team he’s bet on. 'Stan + Lois' has a clever angle, examining Superman’s secret identity through an unexpected lens. 'Tex Hooper' follows a country singer returning from a long hiatus, only for all his new songs to be filled with overtly homosexual themes, much to the surprise of everyone else in the studio. It’s funny, but at nearly 20 minutes it probably overplays the joke. The CD definitely has its moments, but there’s stronger Norm material out there like Norm Macdonald: Hitler’s Dog, Gossip & Trickery being an easy example. Best Tracks: The Fantastic Four, World's First Two Gay Guys, The Twelve Days of Christmas, Hidden Track
