My kid brother used to get his buddies together, grab the ghetto blaster and record everyone doing dick and fart jokes and making fake falls etc. This is exactly what we have here, and guess what... it's freaking hilarious! I threw on Sandler's latest while recovering from a hangover and I proceeded to spit a mouthful of cereal all over my keyboard...

A little Adam Sandler goes a long way. While his sweetly infantilesongs on Saturday Night Live (and on his debut album, They're All Going to Laugh at You!) could charm fleetingly, the jokeshave worn woefully thin for his second record What the Hell Happened To Me?, which againfeatures a mix of comedy and music. You may get a giggle out of"Chanukah Song." But skits like the eight minutes devoted to ahypnotist with a flatulence problem prove, well, windy.

Hilariously foulmouthed yet winningly innocent, Adam Sandler has made a successful career out of his arrested adolescence. But the balance struck in his lighthearted teen flicks and off-color comedy albums is missing from Eight Crazy Nights, the big-band soundtrack named for Sandler's latest film, an animated musical about Hanukkah. While grade-schoolers might not delight in rhyming Christmas tree with potato latke, most of the jokes here were meant for the playground specifically, for those ....

In his incredibly successful run of films, Adam Sandler's constant has been his penchant for playing the jokey everyman. From Happy Gilmore to Mr. Deeds, he's the likeable lout with a heart of gold and a love of guy stuff like hockey, farts, and McDonald's breakfasts. His perpetual hangdog look and Jewish-joke songs have carried him a long way since 1993, when the Saturday Night Live alum issued They're All Gonna Laugh at You, his first -comedy album...

It says something that Adam Sandler returned to recording comedy albums after he became a superstar, earning 20 million dollars per movie. Perhaps the records gave Sandler the opportunity to explore his well-documented vulgar side, something that he couldn't really do in Big Daddy, the movie that appeared three months before his fourth album, Stan and Judy's Kid. Then again, Stan and Judy's Kid isn't all that vulgar, at least compared to his previous efforts...

Just one of many gifted comedians to emerge from Saturday Night Live's impressive early-'90s roster, Adam Sandler nevertheless defied cynics' expectations by moving on to an improbably long and successful post-SNL film career, where he proceeded to endlessly recycle his stunted man-child persona ad nauseam -- much to the delight of his captive Generation X audience...

Almost five years after the mediocre Stan and Judy's Kid, Adam Sandler returns with a winning set of sophomoric potty humor. Recycling the structure of every Sandler album before it -- minus the songs-only What's Your Name -- Shhh...Don't Tell bounces between songs and sketches but the vulgarity has been kicked up a notch. It's a great move considering that the on-screen Sandler has been venturing into Jimmy Stewart territory...

I can still remember the first time I heard Adam Sandler in his post-Saturday Night Live celebrity status. It was Christmas, 1994, and one of my friends had bought his first comedy album, They're All Gonna Laugh At You. A group of us sat around another one of my friend's house and popped the CD in, solely for background purposes. But as the album progressed, the lucid high school conversation dwindled, and we were laughing: hysterically, uncontrollably, maniacally...

"Three neighborhood kids took me to a rock concert/ The kind of music: old-school
funk/ The women at the show were beautiful/ As they danced sexily on the grass/
One of them even petted my fur/ Fuck me in the goat-ass!/ Then some long haired
guys grabbed me by the horns and threw me in the mosh pit/ They passed me around
and treated me nice/ Till I nervously sprayed them with shit." -The Goat Song
Aryt, let's face it...
