Synopsis

Amazon.com
A mixture of so-so standup routines and comedy-music hybrids a la Adam Sandler, Saturday Night Live's Jimmy Fallon provides just enough laughs on The Bathroom Wall to satisfy one's funny bone--for the first listen or two, anyway. Unfortunately, with the exception of his masterful impressions (a hilarious Bono among them) and the amusing Prince takeoff "Idiot Boyfriend," Fallon's shtick gets old pretty fast. On the music side, "Road Rage" has a few funny lines, but the Beastie Boys-inspired "(I Can't Play) Basketball" falls flat, as does the country-tinged "Drinking in the Woods." Meanwhile, for the standup portion, Fallon panders to his college audience with routines about "the walk of shame" and hotplates that might have worked in person, but on record sound shopworn and thin. As an impressionist, Fallon has a bright future, but he needs better material before putting out his next comedy record, even one as short (under 37 minutes) as this one. --Matthew Cooke

Funnier than you think!!

"I am a huge Jimmy Fallon fan. So when I saw this one in the shops I bought it (I guess it's one of those things where you feel you have to prove to yourself you're a real fan)
I was expecting a couple of his songs and then that was it.But actually, his songs are great to listen to. There are about 5 songs. After that, Jimmy does improv acting and impressions to a live college croud. It is hillarious. Even if you are not a Jimmy fan, it is worth getting.He closes the CD with "Hammer time" where Jimmy has found you can sing pretty much any 80's song to "Hammertime" and goes right ahead to show it. So funny!!!"

"... This CD definitely does not get old fast. I've listened to it like 100 times and I still love it. But I do think it is a CD for people who are already fans of Jimmy's work. If you don't know who Jimmy is, don't buy this album. But if you know him and love him, like I do, this is definitely for you. The lyrics in the songs are hilarious, especially in Road Rage. And to disagree with the Amazon review, I say that (I Can't Play) Basketball is a great song. ...Jimmy's not trying to win a Grammy. He's just trying to put something out for his fans to enjoy. And all of his fans thoroughly love this album.The Stand-Up in this album is from college tours that he was doing, so it all revolves around college life. He jokes about everything from bad roomates, to french bread loofahs, to the freezers in mini-friges, and fake I.D.s. I love every stand-up track. He had me laughing in every one.And of course, not only is the CD funny, but the little CD booklet is too. Jimmy writes a comedic message to his fans, which I love to read over and over, and has little jokes added randomly, like before or after the lyrics, or on the thanks page. Its a great addition to a great CD.So Jimmy fans: Buy this album today. You'll love it."
