Spade is relaxed, confident, and very funny here. He balances his hateful-little-bastard persona with nice amounts of self-deprecation; coming up with a classic set. His subject matter(gay rock bands, "spanktro-vision", dirtball drug-dealers,etc.) isn't particularly important- but Spade makes it all work. I really liked his bit about rock bands talking to the audience- telling Michael Stipe to "sing Radio Free Europe and beat it!!", when Stipe just wants to whine about how horrible his rich life is. "Just sing the god-damned songs, buddy!!!!". This set is almost 10 years old-and none of the material is dated. Hate him or really hate him; Spade is a funny dude.

Does anyone living in the UK, know if it is possible to get this great show on Region 2 DVD, here in England. Loads of places have it in Region 1 format but unluckily i cant play that. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated. Anyway i have previously seen some of his show and what i saw was brilliant. Spade is a good comedian even of loads disagree. in this show he talks about tshirts, McDonald's and airline attendants (remember BuhBye). This show is brilliant and i really want to own it, so if anyone has any details please leave them here, if anyone wants to know if they should see it, then certainly do as it rocks. yay.

Take the hit is definitely worth watching, i think David Spade can do amazing stand-up. He seems to be able to go on about any topic and make it even funnier than it really is. He's the comedian who says what you're really thinking. His sound effects, imitation voices, and those hilarious short stories that he sometimes makes up are all hysterical, and REALLY worth watching.

So whether you love David Spade, like me, or don't really care for him- chances are, if you have any sense of humor, you'll probably be laughing your ass off by the end of the show. I give "David Spade: Take the Hit" ten out of ten.
