Ron White's Comedy Salute To The Troops (2012/Gaiam Vivendi Entertainment DVD)

 

Picture: C     Sound: B-     Extras: C-     Concert: C+

 

 

Join Ron White and his fellow comedians as they journey and perform for America's troops in Ron White’s Salute To The Troops.  Along with Lewis Black, Kathleen Madigan, Vic Henley, Tim Wilson, Robert Hawkins, and Alex Reymunde, they entertain the wounded troops.  Joined by guest musicians Rascal Flatts, John Oats, and Margo Rey get ready for a night of laughter and music.

 

This is a troop of Southern comedians and musicians who are performing to help raise money for the wound vets of America.  They make jokes about anything to everything, including sex, incest, gay and racial southern cultures... it's all for a good cause (and laughter).  Along with a few songs they remind the troops what they are fighting for, freedom and the expression of life. 

 

While I enjoy comedy, I sometimes have to wonder how do comedians make fun of minority groups and people laugh and love them for it.  They pick the most taboo of topics, gross humor, blow it up and make it into a joke.  While it is all for good for a laugh, I found the jokes no different than the daily office jokes that you might find at work.

 

The anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 image is an HD shoot that can look good and have good color, but detail is an issue more often than usual, but the Dolby sound is just fine.  Extras include bonus materials with the comedians that is not bad, but not too extensive.
