DVD Pick: Jim Breuer's "Let's Clear the Air"

Jim breuer A decade later, Breuer's married with kids, has his own Sirius Satellite radio show and continues to thrive as a hugely popular stand up comic. But "the simple life" hasn't calmed him at all, as proven by "Let's Clear the Air," his latest Comedy Central special.

Also available on DVD, the manic genius of Breuer is in full force in the new show.  His impressions of Sylvester Stallone, Tracy Morgan, Dave Chappelle and Norm MacDonald are absolutely killer, but equally funny are the stories he tells about his home life, including what it's like to take care of his elderly parents.

For those not familiar with Breuer, "Let's Clear the Air" is a nice introduction.  While his explosive energy remains intact, he's not nearly as hyper as he was a decade ago.  I mention this because when it comes to Breuer, one thing he's been criticized for over the years is his habit of being almost too hyper.  Then again, that's a small price to pay for a man whose musical rendition of AC/DC covering "The Hokey Pokey" is simply one of the funniest bits in comic history.
