Chris D'Elia: No Pain

...be so funny on a podcast, yet so unfunny with stand-up? Apparently there's no correlation whatsoever. It's like he tries way too hard in front of an audience, and nothing feels genuine. I mean, I wish I liked his stand-up, but I just don't.

Then this is the comedy special for you. It's difficult listening to the material, which is funny, because so many comedians can't seem to speak without saying 'like' constantly.

Also, if you enjoy hearing a comedian laugh at his own jokes in a way that certain people... we can't use the word anymore for those kind of people, but if you're a fan of Tom Segura, you will know what I mean when I say that Chris D'Elia laughs at some of the things he says as though he's a little tik-tok'd. Or he's "cajun". GO watch Netflix's Tom Segura: Ball Hog if you don't know what I'm talking abour.

Whatever the reason, like NOTHING landed. I didn't find a minute of this special funny and had to watch the whole thing due to my wife.

Wasnt expecting anything, watched the dudes podcast here and then.. but I swear he was funnier before now he stuck in same jokes/body twitches from like last year... Not a hater.. but this wasnt funny at all...

The way Chris presents himself on podcasts is so dissimilar to how he acts during his stand up it's nauseating. If you took the video away and just played the audio from a random episode of his podcast then played No Pain, you would have a hard time believe they are the same person. Every bit fell flat, either because the material itself was juvenile or because he is constantly laughing at his own jokes. He can sometimes barely get out punch lines because he's already giggling, which is odd given the material isn't even laughable to the normal person. I wouldn't be surprised if you told me that the theater was empty and they were just playing a laugh track the entire time. He dragged the growling at a baby bit for almost ten minutes and the dolphin thing had to be 15 mins long, 15 mins of torture to my ears. I'll keep watching Congratulations but I've given up on checking out this dudes standup, hope his acting career pans out because this standup thing just isn't his game.
