Vir Das: Landing

Vir Das' latest special revolves around his observations about certain things in American cultures, his experiences over what started out as a tumultuous 2022, and his general opinion on patriotism vs nationalism.

While he does try to be a bit flippant about the things he underwent over 2022, you can see that he is upset about a lot of things. And, this hurt at times hinders what is actually a very good stand up special from becoming great.

However, this is only seen about three quarters into the special. For the most part, Vir is his usual funny, irreverent, and, at times, philosophical self.

Despite a slight slowing down in middle, I'd still recommend this special.

Seriously his ways are too good to expose the world hypocrisy specially of our own, in his satiric ways If you are someone who's not a chaatu n can digest the truth go for it.

Never heard of the guy but was influenced to watch due to the high ratings, which are deserved IMHO! Most of his act revolves around his observations of the American culture where he was raised, but felt like an outsider. Likewise, he felt estranged from Indian culture because he was too Westernized. Lots of material for immigrant-type humor, which I love, as a 2nd-generation native.

Apparently he's had some recent controversy, which he refers to also, including death-threats and being accused of being a traitor. He plays upon this several times.

There is some sexual banter and cursing, though he doesn't stress or depend on it for shock value.

I look forward to watching his other special.

Vir Das is the most impactful comedian of our generation. The way he uses comedy to make us laugh and instigate the thought around how we can be a better human being is just wonderful. I have watched all his specials and this one feels personal. It's well thought through with stories that will for sure steer up some of your personal experiences that you might have had in your life as an Indian middle class kid. There were times when I was laughing with tears in my eyes feeling happy and sad at the same time. In short I hope he continues to do such specials and helps us become better human being.

I had the misfortune of seeing this title land on my netflix homepage.

Thought of giving it a try and it was easily the worst comedy show I have ever seen, no exceptions. Not only were the jokes unfunny and stale, but he/she/her/they seemed completely disinterested in performing comedy and barely even tried. Most of the jokes are cheap tik-tok copies.

Agreed that it is not a live show but to engage more in rhetorical politics than to be genuinely funny is even worse for a scripted comedy.

The only highlight of the evening was when I decided to quit nearly three quarters in and spared myself any more of this politician's painfully unentertaining set.

Save your time and avoid this terrible politician at all costs.
