Chelsea Handler: Uganda Be Kidding Me Live

I actually feel irritated that I am bothering to even take the time to write a review for such a horrible piece of crap. I was pretty neutral on Chelsea Handler before watching this, leaning towards thinking she was raunchy but pretty funny.

Now, all I can think is what a ridiculous and pompous jackass. Enough already with flaunting your money. When I watch comedy, I like to laugh - not be insulted. I couldn't believe it when I was searching for more info about her and saw her net worth was $35 Million. That's the REAL joke - and a sick one at that.

I almost wouldn't have minded her constantly throwing her wealthy lifestyle around IF she had actually said something that was funny enough for me to laugh. I never even cracked a smile.

I really like Chelsea Handler - usually. But this special a hit and a miss.

Except when it comes to her dogs - and then she's always a hit!!

And then a miss on cats!! HA!

She is NOT at all PC and that's great too. She's a comedian. So I suppose a hit and a miss is a good thing.

First off, this isn't a stand-up performance. Chelsea Handler uses this "special" to promote her book by telling egotistical, conceited stories about her daily life. These stories will only be funny if you enjoy these three recurring punchlines:

1. Going out of your way to be rude to other people.

2. Spending obnoxious sums of money to demonstrate how rich you are.

3. Poo-poo and pee-pee.

I have seen and rated more than 100 stand-up specials. This is by far the worst special that I have ever seen. It was not funny, and I could not relate to a single thing she said throughout the entire show.

I'll simply use the title of this special to demonstrate Chelsea Handler's style of humor. The title of the show is "Uganda Be Kidding Me." As mentioned before, flaunting large sums of money is a recurring theme throughout the show. Uganda is one of the poorest countries in the world in which the average work day is 12 to 18 hours/day, and 38% of these workers live on less than $1.25/day... Not something I think is particularly funny.

My god, this is terrible. Most of the people I know are funnier than her. Most in fact are way funnier. Why would I waste my time watching a woman perform who isn't in the least funny? She's making me cringe - for her. There's no brains behind this, that's the main issue. She's like the not-so-intelligent, obnoxious tipsy acquaintance I try to dodge at parties. The kind I feel embarrassed and a little sorry for. I admit I gave up pretty soon.

She is absolutely hilarious! Not sure what the other reviewers were watching. I guess if you don't get it you need to lighten up or they just have some sort of personal feelings towards Chelsea. I thought it was great!
