Bert Kreischer: Secret Time

Love Bert from his podcast and appearances but THIS! This was comedy!! HAHA!

Who finds this peurile, lazily constructed pap funny? Well, apparently people who have never seen good comedy before and given this garbage 9 and 10 out of 10 ratings. Kreischer's silly "secret time" announcements are a form of one-liner comedy so worn out that it literally felt like I was watching a 30 year old comedy special hosted by Louis Anderson or Stephen Wright but not nearly as funny given that Kreischer is the first to laugh at his own jokes half the time. Chappelle, CK, Seinfeld, Sykes, Silverman, Jeffries all have nothing to worry about in terms of competition from this twaddle spewing fraud who takes the lazy route, unable to craft any type of sophisticated joke and, instead, relies on being shirtless and relating unfunny personal anecdotes that he squeezes for all the forced chuckle juice he can extract that, while funny to him, inspires nothing but a kind of Inquirer-esque titillation from his "I'm-here-for-a-comedy-special-so-I'm-gonna-laugh-dammit" audience. He is, however, laughing all the way to the bank because the societal bar is so low right now or the state of worldly affairs is so traumatizing, there is no end to people who desperately want to find hilarity where there is none. What a disappointment.

This is his best show by far. If you know him from his previous stuff, the machine, etc, you can see how far he has come. He really finds himself in this, whatever the hell that means. He feels like a top comic to me now. I mean as fat as he is, it's amazing that he even gets out of the house, and the effort alone is worth the watch, but Bert pulls you in on this special, with the gravitational pull from his huge body, and his storytelling. He also managed like very few people these days to not include any hacky political humor about either party. In fact there was no politics to be found. It was nice to see an old school comedy special. You get to see the Bert you enjoy on his podcast, and other podcasts like Your moms house and Joe Rogans. Congrats sir. Go Noles.

The entire special is hilarious, definitely worth watching

This was the second stand-up comedy I watched from Bert Kreischer. After The Machine (2016) which was a very pleasant discovery and that I also rated with nine stars I was curious if this next show would be as hilarious as the previous one. And hell yeah it was! He got me literally in tears a couple times. Bert Kreischer doesn't care what you think about him. With his shirtless "big" body he brings joke after joke, some very personal jokes, and he doesn't really mind to openly make fun of some of his hilarious life decisions. He's got it all to be an excellent comedian, his stage presence, his mimics, the well placed puns, it's all part of a great show. There are tons of stand-up comedians, lately with Netflix they seem to pop out like mushrooms, but Bert Kreischer stands out from the crowd. It's one of those shows you won't forget, one of those you recommend to friends. For the haters, as there always are with comedy, just stay far away from me as you clearly have no sense of humor at all.
