Kevin James: Irregardless

I'm surprised to see this so poorly rated. I am a big fan of Kevin James and thought it was funny. Unlike a lot of "modern" comedians, Kevin Doesnt bother being political or telling "safe" jokes. He's never offensive either, but he calls out easy current generations have it and how soft our society has become. Kevin is older now with kids, so naturally his comedy reflects this. Kevin has also lost a lot of weight from his The King Of Queens days, and it's great to see him branching out from of his food and fatty comedy now that he takes care of himself. My only gripe is he spends the last chunk of his comedy talking about the wife, and while not offensive or anything, it just drags on a bit much that it's no longer funny.

The mic he used is terrible , for what reason ? Nostalgia ? Low budget ? Someone couldn't be bothered to give him a modern mic ? Should have had a lavalier mic clipped on and thhis old style mic used as a prop.

So for me the constant breathing noises popping and messy audio completely ruins the humour potential.

The volume is all over the place, seems the audience were a bunch of seals for laughing at litterally nothing.

Jokes wise ? Humour is subjective and often unique like a finger print, ageing bald guy talks life, death and history.

I found when he's quieter and more calm he was funnier than his wild physical attempts at humour.

It's quickfire either from bad editing or they gave kevin a adrenaline shot before he walks on.

Not his best not his worst.

Somehow Kevin James went from the self depreciating sense of humor, to the approach that kids these days are lazy and parents are wimps. It's a bunch of old and tired rants about drinking from the garden hose and getting whipped with the belt by your old man. And then just an overly long complaint about how his wife talks too much. But the sad truth is that these jokes are as lazy as this next generation. There were very few personal stories here, and each punchline was stretched to make the material last an hour. There were no jokes about food, or material about going bald, or losing weight. I finished it out of respect for Kevin James because he's made me laugh so hard through the years that he's earned it. But sadly, there was nothing special or very funny about this new material. It needed to be retooled and polished before the special was made.

I never watched King of Queens when it was a hit show. I know he grew up in my neck of the woods, but not much more than that. I am not normally a big fan of Kevin James' standup, but this one is very good. He does a good job of talking in a relaxed and natural manner about parenting and about growing up in the 1970's. He manages to be very funny without being vulgar, or sexual. His storytelling ability is very good. I enjoyed how self-effacing he was. He does a good job of managing the stage and the audience. He has matured into a very good storyteller and a very good stand up comedian. I enjoyed it.

As a fan of Kevin's for many years I was shocked at how funny this special was. Starting off with a horrible premise about prediabetes and how we're free everything really was not that funny. We all understand the pre-diabetes means borderline and then he kept going on with the premise and then he went on to tell this story about hitting a deer in the same Cadence and story as Kevin Hart did with the raccoon. Felt uninspired, flat, unoriginal, and just not funny. Whole point of Comedy is to make people laugh and he failed in this one. He must be surrounded by tes men, as if he would have appeared review this with any of his other comedian friends they would have told him it was complete garbage. I feel bad for him.
