"Being an Aussie, I'm a bit late to Fallon-fandom, but boy am I hooked now!
Like Tenacious D, Jimmy's brand of musical comedy is made to last. Long after the jokes have worn out I'm still listening to Snowball and Road Rage, coz they sound great. (I have to admit, Idiot Boyfriend isn't the same without that hilarious video.) Of course the other highlights of TBW are Jimmy's brilliant impressions amongst the Trolls, Hammertime and Chris Rock. His standup routine is now a thing of the past, so it's nice for fans to have some examples of his early work as his career forges ahead. If you're fan of Fallon's many talents, or fan of musical comedy in general, this CD is definately for you. Funny stuff! :-)"

SNL's Jimmy Fallon is hilarous!

"I have been a devoted fan of SNL for quite sometime now, and a huge fan of Jimmy Fallon. His new CD, "The Bathroom Wall", is not one to miss if you are a SNL fan, or just like to laugh. The first part of the albulm includes five songs. "Idiot Boyfriend" and "(I Can't Play) Basketball" standout to me as the funniest ones. "Drinking in the Wood", "Road Rage", and "Snowball" aren't quite as witty as the others but are still fun to listen to. The second part of the albulm is standup. I thought that the "Celebrity Troll Dolls" and "Troll Doll Jingles" were by far the funniest, with Jimmy's dead on impressions on celebrities such John Travolta, U2, Dave Matthews Band, Coldplay, Alanis Morsitte... During "Celebrity Troll Dolls" Jimmy does impressions of several comedians such as Jerry Seinfield, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Robin Williams... I found that Jimmy was brilliant during these because he manages to tell jokes like the comedians would, and do the humor they would do, rather than just doing the voice impression. I had an actual 5 minute arguement with my friends convincing that Jimmy Fallon was actually doing the celebrity impressions, and were not the celebrities on the CD themselves. Imagine how frustrating that is. Why a comedian would put out a CD where he had actual celebrities talking on it is beyond me. Anyways..."Hammartime" definetly stands out as also one of the funnier ones. Jimmy sings several different 80s tunes to the background of "Can't Touch This." The stand-up also includes many jokes about college, which were funny, but I probably would have gotten it better if I have been to college. My parents cracked up hilarously in the car listening to this, almost to an annoying extent, while driving my 18-year-old sister to college. I definetly reccomend this CD to anyone who wants to laugh. This CD is definetly fun to listen to, but because its so short (37 minutes) I find I can only listen to it every couple days. (Which isn't a bad thing necessarily, its just any CD with standup on it just isn't funny listening to repeatively.) I find this CD is better to listen to with someone else who hasn't heard it before, because it is fun watching your friends and relatives getting to laugh their first time to it. Definetly consider putting Jimmy Fallon's "The Bathroom Wall" in your CD collection."

Funny stuff!

"There are 7 songs on this CD and they are all (except one) great. Listen to them whenever you need a happiness boost or when you're really hyper. Every one of the seven songs are easy to sing along too. The other half of the CD is Jimmy's stand-up acts. I didn't find them too funny. You certainly can't listen to those more than a few times. Even though I think only half of the CD is good, the kick you get from that good half makes it all worthwhile."
