Gallagher: Over Your Head (1984) YTS

Reviewed by Anonymous_Maxine 10 / 10

Another brilliant performance from the greatest stand-up comedian of all time.

I was able to see a performance by Gallagher at his nearly catastrophic show in Sacramento on February 8th, 2003, and I would just like to say that Gallagher has gotten the Sledge-O-Matic down to an art. Watching these old videos really shows me how much better he has gotten at it over the years. He had a whole array of different things to smash at his show that I went to this month, and the splatter flew further than I've ever seen it go in his older videos. One of the few things that I didn't like about Gallagher: Over Your Head was the way he threw a couple of things over his shoulder rather than smashed them. Granted, I think he only did this with a couple of items (a cantaloupe and a pineapple, if I remember correctly), but I just didn't see why he would do that instead of smashing them. That's what people want to see!This show was also slowed down a little bit by The River Poem, which is certainly something that makes a great comment about the environment and shows how concerned Gallagher is with it, but I was a little put off by it simply because the comedy in the rest of the show was so side-splitting that I didn't want him to take a break from it. There was also a tap-dance routine that didn't fit too well with the rest of the show, and which was followed by Gallagher having a guest on stage to hand him items to smash with the Sledge-O-Matic, and I just prefer to see him do it all himself. I guess I've been spoiled a little by Gallagher: The Maddest, inarguably his best video ever, but even with small shortcomings like these, Gallagher: Over Your Head is another great dose of the brilliant comedy that he always delivers.

Amazon's description of this was "intelligent and wacky."The most amusing part of this is seeing an audience genuinely find anything funny or entertaining about it. That part was at least interesting.
