Jesus Christ this was bad. not even in a funny way. this movie looks like David lynch trying to do an episode of any unfunny sitcom. and that doesn't work at all. why is the movie randomly black and white? why does this movie suddenly turn into a videotaping the screen of the movie we are watching? None of those questions are as important as this one - what exactly is supposed to be funny or interesting about Chip Seinfeld? if you want to spend an hour or so making your eyes bleed then this is the movie for you.from bad acting to hearing the same joke over and over and over again, there is nothing worth seeing in this waste of time. its hard to believe someone would make this and expect people to be even remotely entertained by talentless drivel. Who the F%*k is Chip Seinfeld? Who the F@*k cares?
... View MoreI loved this movie! I really loved that it wasn't pretentious or didn't take itself too seriously. It's obviously low-budget, but that is what makes it so appealing. The comedians in it are hilarious and in a few years most of them will probably be household names. It's easy to forget that this is improvisational comedy at its best, doing to stand-up comedy what This Is Spinal Tap did to music. You can't help but feel sorry for Chip, he's a loathsome character. This comedy short is 25 minutes long and while it's not rated, it does have adult language aplenty and scenes depicting drug use. It's still a must-see for anyone who's a fan of stand-up comedy.

I'm so happy I didn't have to endure the feature-length cut. You could not PAY me to watch more.It's clear the filmmakers think they are very very funny. Trust me when I say that it's not the CHARACTER I'm talking about. He's supposed to be deluded. But I am speaking about everyone in front of and behind the camera. They all have the same problem.I feel sad for the one or two cameo appearances I did sort-of recognize, as well for the 15-20 or so other supposedly name-worthy people who appear in the film for no particular reason. Am I supposed to know who these people are?I like shocking comedy. I loved the Aristocrats (joke category and the film about it). So it's not like I'm a prude.But the cliché of the pathetic sibling of a famous person has been over-done. And these people are not real creative with the insults, relying instead on typical high school profanity.In the end, the film boasts that this is to be continued. The audience I saw this with found that to be the only laugh-out-loud line in the bunch, because there's no chance of that happening. But I guess the joke's on us, because if there really are nearly 70 minutes of yet-to-be-repackaged footage from the feature, there could be two or three more shorts. Not that we'll be seeing any of them.
