Query: not as funny as some of his other shows

I bought this because I saw a review or mention of Beyond the Pale at the NYTimes website and they seemed to like it.I have also seen some of his other performances on the comedy cable channel that were really funny, so I thought that this new DVD would be full of new and funnier material.But this Gaffigan DVD is not that funny and if you are lucky enough to catch this same performance on cable then save your money and just record it.
