Raw and Explicit "R" Rated Stand-up comedy.
Don Tjernagel rules. Prick 2 is this stand-up comic's fifth independent release comedy CD and it definitely kicks ass comedy. Still, this CD is not for the faint of heart, the politically correct, the easily or not so easily offended. I consider myself a veteran stand-up comedy fan, rarely encounter comedians I find offensive and when I do find one who, in my opinion, goes beyond good taste it is more because the comic is not strong enough to deliver the edgy material than because of the material itself. Don Tjernagel has the chops and the talent (and then some) to do whatever he wants and make jokes about whatever he wants but Prick 2 definitely made me squirm. It also definitely made me laugh so what the hell.

The particularly controversial tracks are White Women and "N" about the N word. Hollywood is more stand-up comedy about race relations and a former Tjernagel girlfriend who blamed Mexicans. This comic has always been a personal fave not only because he pushes the envelope but also because this is very intelligent comedy and Prick 2 is up to Tjernagel's usual high standards. His greatest talent is the segue and Hollywood is proof of that.

Baby boomers definitely get attacked on this solid (aside from the sound quality, and more on that later) stand-up comedy CD and on 60's, the third track. Fair warning for the women folk out there: it is not a good idea to be this comic's girlfriend as you automatically become fodder for his stand-up act. I am starting to suspect that he probably chooses his mates for their comedic potential but I could be wrong.
