Uncle Yo! Fluffy Delicious DVD of Unbridled Entertainment (Second Edition) Review

Hi Guys! It's the last review of the month, so I figured it's time to do something a little bit different. After my somewhat sloppy attempt at reviewing Duke Nukem Forever a few months back, I said to myself that I wouldn't step out of anime territory again on this blog. However, I figured that perhaps something anime-related wouldn't hurt, so here's a review of Uncle Yo's Fluffy Delicious DVD of Unbridled Entertainment (Second Edition).

Using footage from Tekkoshocon 2010, as well as Anime Boston of the same year and the audio recording from a Coswatch podcast back in 2009 on the extras, this DVD shows off the talents of one of the geek world's funniest icons, and delves into the mind to see how the gears in his head turn. It's a great viewing, complete with laughs, tears, and just a hint of squeeing.

For starters, there's Uncle Yo himself. The way I look at him, he's a lot like J.K. Rowling. He's kind, caring, considerate, and doesn't try to coddle his fans. He treats them like normal people, not like kids (even if some of his fans are actual kids), and has an aura of humbleness and geeky insanity surrounding him. Every show that he puts on (obviously including what's on this DVD) always has something new, making every sight of him unique.

Secondly, the footage of the DVD, despite being amateur made, is actually quite well done. There are a few inconsistencies as far as the crowd's laughter (some scenes you can hear the crowd, while others you can't hear the crowd at all), the footage is very good. As for the DVD cover, it's a mix of bright red & yellow (with a blue stripe on top that displays the edition of the DVD in white letters), complete with a cute drawing of Uncle Yo running away from a crowd of psychotic fans. On the back you see him still running away, all the while having his signature trademark (The Delicious Happy Fluffy Pink Cupcake of Redundant Happiness) hovering above him ever so sinisterly. Perhaps what makes the DVD cover so impressive is the fact that he signs every...single...one of them, which is pretty kick ass in my opinion.

Third, the pricing of this DVD isn't too bad, as it comes in at 15 dollars. That's actually not all that hard on the wallet, and it definitely marks it as something to by at a con that Uncle Yo is at, or on his website. The link is right below if you want to look:

Lastly, the extras of the Fluffy Delicious DVD of Unbridled Entertainment are quite good. The first is an impromptu interview at Anime Boston 2010. There are serious questions asked, as well as goofy questions asked. In either case, he answers clearly and precisely. However, in the case of Uncle Yo, these answers are often hilarious, but a couple answers are more serious than others. The other extra is an interview from 2009 off of Coswatch.com. There's no video footage, but there is a variety of pictures with Uncle Yo in them. As the interview goes on, you see this lord of geekery in hilarious situation. In perhaps a bit of irony, the last five question asked in the Coswatch interview were taken straight from James Lipton, and some of the best answers came out during that time.

In all honesty, I see absolutely nothing wrong with the bundle of amazement. Uncle Yo! Fluffy Delicious DVD of Unbridled Entertainment gets a 10 out of 10. Uncle Yo rules, the footage is good, the pricing is great, and the extras top off this delicious digital sundae.

Until next time, stay Otaku!
