David Cross's first comedy special in six years comes under the heading of "preaching to the choir." If you are a Tea Partier in good standing, a Mormon, or a Scientologist, or count yourself as religious, then you may not be amused by Cross's left(ist) jabs at all you likely hold sacred. Speaking of the Devil, he states, "I can't be Catholic because I don't believe in monsters." He also wonders just how humble a carpenter Jesus was if he truly believed he was the Son of God. Also coming in for Cross's contempt is the hippie ethos as exemplified by a product line called If You Care (it's real; I googled

David Cross's first comedy special in six years comes under the heading of "preaching to the choir." If you are a Tea Partier in good standing, a Mormon, or a Scientologist, or count yourself as religious, then you may not be amused by Cross's left(ist) jabs at all you likely hold sacred. Speaking of the Devil, he states, "I can't be Catholic because I don't believe in monsters." He also wonders just how humble a carpenter Jesus was if he truly believed he was the Son of God. Also coming in for Cross's contempt is the hippie ethos as exemplified by a product line called If You Care (it's real; I googled it). Not for Cross traditional punch-line fare (although there are some airplane jokes) or the usual mainstream movie and TV references. His interest is more piqued by an adult film titled "My Ass Is Haunted" (also real; I googled it). Cross, who ranks in the alt.-com pantheon, took some flak for starring in the Alvin and the Chipmunks movies. Beyond that upstate New York cottage Cross was able to purchase, if those paydays further allowed him to return to the standup stage, let's hope he's signed on for Alvin 3: The Squeaksome. The bonus features are bits that aren't necessarily his "A" material, but there is an inspired smackdown of bloggers courtesy of an audience plant who is "liveblogging" the show, and a surprising defense of Dane Cook. Happily, not all his targets are that easy. --Donald Liebenson
