Entertainment Reviews:
Squatting Monkeys Tell No Lies straddles the manic and reflective. Carvey is perhaps a little more political than in the past, but he never veers too far from the unapologetically silly.

Baltimore Sun
As a reviewer, the highest praise that I can give Squatting Monkeys is that Carvey avoids doing either Garth or The Church Lady.

AV Club
A Carvey comedy special comes with special problems -- for one, a star with minimal skills for stand-up comedy. He's wildly repetitious, punishing to hear in his gnawing on the same mirth-free shtick.

Wall Street Journal
Carvey is a funny, funny guy, but his latest HBO special feels like the work of someone who is either out of ideas or out of energy.

What's surprising isn't that a show this subversive, trippy, and packed with future comic giants was canceled after seven episodes; it's that it made it onto primetime network television in the first place. -- Grade: A-
A.V. Club
Since Carvey built much of his "Saturday Night Live" reputation on imitations of political personalities, he finds a way here to mash a half-dozen of them together... It's comedically okay, but it feels like nostalgia humor.

Product Description:
He's the man with a thousand faces, and in this HBO comedy special Dana Carvey takes on baby boomers, Scientology, Barack Obama, and George W. Bush (just to get started). Known for his witty political humor and flawless impressions, Carvey also takes his act to a personal level as he makes light of getting older, modern parenting, and the health problems that put him out of commission for a number of years. This live stand-up performance was recorded in Santa Rosa, California and just may divulge the secret of why "squatting monkeys tell no lies."
