The Super Bob Einstein Movie

Loved Bob Einstein/Super Dave Osborne. Loved every clip of his priceless routines/wit. This whole "documentary" (which has some great Super-Dave bits in it) is almost undone by the likes of Patton Oswalt, Sara Silverman, Kimmel, Seinfeld, etc. Every one of them filmed grinning painfully before a huge screen so we could see they are watching just what we were watching. I mean REALLY? Have we gotten that stupid??? Super Dave would have hated this thing.

Everybody knows that the best part of comedy is analyzing why jokes are funny (yeah right). I don't believe they showed a single Bob Einstein clip without insisting on following up with an explanation for why it was funny. Insufferable is one word to describe the handling of this documentary, thanks to HBO's desire to appeal to every one of their subscribers, instead of just giving fans of Super Dave the tribute he deserved.

Between the old clips and the modern commentary of Bob Einstein's peers, this documentary is a perfect remembrance of his genius. It isn't just a great story about his life and who he was, but it's also incredibly entertaining. Easily watchable more than once.

This is a great tribute to a very special comedian. Known as Super Dave, Marty Funkhouser, or Bob Einstein. He had a unique style which spanned multiple decades. Bob worked with and is remembered in this by many famous people, including Steve Martin, Rob Reiner, Jimmy Kimmel, Larry David and more. The clips in this tribute are aged but still funny as hell. I recommend this if you like him, or never heard of him.

I liked the clips of Einstein, the stories about him, and the jokes by him. The only reason I downgraded this from 8 to 7 is because of the blatant fake laughter by some of the celebrities when they were watching clips. It didn't ruin the documentary by any means, but it was noticeable and wasn't needed to convey the humor.
