Gabriel Iglesias: Hot and Fluffy - Live From Bakersfield [DVD]

My all time favorite movie!!!

This is my second attempt to post a review.I enjoyed this stand up concert. I had seen the 2009 show first, so his Fluffy scale has gone from 1 to 5 to 1 to 6, so it was interesting to see the transformation of that joke.By and large, the show was young adult/family friendly and had a good time watching the show. The fact that he's so open to questions and answers to respond to his fans helps, too; he knows their support is his livelihood and he's grateful. But more than that, he has a great stage presence and is pretty inventive storyteller. He's also seriously good with is impersonations. He has Rodriguez nailed! Recommended.

My husband and I are lifelong fans of COMEDY CENTRAL. Over the years we have seen many a comedian try to coerce a laugh from our sometimes "taking things too seriously" faces. A number have been successful but none quite as successful as a few such as Gabriel Iglesias. I personally find him so adorably lovable that laughing to his crazy antics comes as naturally as breathing fresh air. As a slightly overweight person myself I adore the fact that he doesn't seem to mind being overweight himself and has classified himself as "fluffy" in the big-healthy-husky-fluffy-damn scale. He is refreshingly honest in admitting that he likes to eat and that the quality of life is more important to him than the quantity. I also think he is a genius in the use of sound effects to get someone to laugh. He admits that although he was not the Last Comic Standing in the competition so named, he was the ONLY one to have a special on COMEDY CENTRAL.When he introduces his act on this tape Gabriel admits to having returned to Bakersfield, California where he first got his start. He introduces his mother to the audience and is "equal opportunity" as to who he pokes fun at--hispanic and non hispanic alike. He explains the reason he is always wearing Hawaiin shirts is simply that "they fit". He quips how Hawaiin people to him looked like "swollen Mexicans". All in all he is one warm, funny, very talented comedian whose tape I would recommend to anyone who loves to laugh.

It’s so funny that I can’t stop laughing! Thank you!!

Gabriel Iglesias is overweight. If you've never seen him perform before it will be the first thing you notice. I showed this DVD to some friends of mine and when they first saw Gabriel come out on stage they couldn't believe how big he was. In fact, they focused on it so much I didn't think they were going to give him a chance. Well, less than 5 minutes in we were all laughing uncontrollably. You almost forget about his size even when his material is about his weight. His talent for comedy far outweighs his number of lbs. When I watch standup comedy I look for three things. Materiel, storytelling, and sound effects. There are a lot of successful comedians out there and most only have one of these talents. Gabriel has great material, his storytelling is some of the best I've heard (especially when telling the stories about when he's dealing with the cops), and his sound effects are also top notch (love the police siren and motor vehicles). Heck he even does great impressions from presidents, to a state trooper from the south, to an elderly Korean woman. Bottom line is that it's a great DVD from a great standup comedian who will hopefully be doing comedy for many years to come.

Hot and Fluffy is funny fool. Gabriel Iglesias is cute and great with sound effects and voices. He doesn't need to resort to political or racist humor, he's creative enough to be hysterical without that. With his self deprecating yet positive attitude, he is a rare breed among comics.Hot and Fluffy starts out with a bang. You learn about Gabriel Iglesias (that's "E"glesias with an "I") the guy along the way, and his relationship with Law Enforcement. The middle of the show does tend to drag a little, however, he closes with a bit that damn near made me "wet myself."Fluffy, I'm mean Gabriel, is good clean fun. He rarely talks about S E X, and when he does, he takes a turn for the cleaner punchline. And I never heard him drop the F bomb. My 9 yr old wondered into the room when Hot and Fluffy was on, to see what we were laughing about. I let her watch a few bits and now she quotes him all the time.......O DA LAY!

It's hard now a days to find a comedian someone like me can truely relate to. Most of today's comedians don't talk about their lives "before" stardome. They speak of what it's like to be famous all the time and other irrelevent things to most of us "country" folk. Granted we country folk have jeff foxworthy, larry the cable guy, and bill engvall... BUT Gabriel touched us on a different level. He definitely spoke from real experience. He wasn't making up stuff trying to be funny, he simply re-worded his life experiences to entertain the world! He speaks of everything from dealing with the police to what it's like to be "fluffy". He does make one good point as well. Why eat healthy, exercise, and be bored while living forever; when you can party, eat what you want, and say you did something with your life. Eh, it was a good point to me anyway. Definitely a show the family can watch. Not so sure a child would understand what's going on, but there aren't any harsh words or anything like that. One of the funniest comedians I have fallen in love with over the years. He rates up in my TOP 5!

To me this was the first and the best of the Fluffy comedy series DVDs!!! I so relate to these jokes, this makes this particular DVD solo funny. My name is Hernandez so the antics Fluffy speaks of especially relate to me and my friends and family.😍😎 Fluffy Rules!

Until January, I'd never heard of Gabriel Iglesias (he's not a big name in the UK). It's a shame that it took this long to discover him because the guy is hilarious!

He is absolutely amazing, one of the best comedians I came accross, and very few that make me laugh out loud. Highly recommended.
