Kevin Hart: Irresponsible

I'm a big stand up fan. I like some things about Kevin Hart's personality, I loved his book. I like him in some TV interviews when he's calm and collected. He can talk smart, be witty.

That's when he's funny.

This special is not of of these occasions. It's the Hart that's screaming at a low pitch, sweating, yelling, doing too much. Telling us how every story he tells is a "real story".

Sorry, Kev. I'm a fan of your grind, but seeing you do this... It's really painful to watch.

I enjoyed this special!!! My favorite bit was the 9 guns in different rooms of the house! Hilarious! Keep the laughs comin Kev!

I watched the trailer for this Netflix special and thought it was going to be the same old thing and I wouldn't enjoy it but it was actually good, the material was new and it all came together nicely in the end.

I was immediately bewildered at the size of the audience. THAT MANY people buy tickets and show up to a ONE HOUR COMEDY performance? Okay, maybe the tickets were cheap, but there are crowds, traffic, babysitters, etc etc, to deal with. People must be starved for entertainment. I don't know if I'd even go through all that for the second coming of Jesus. I'd probably just wait to see it on NetFlix. Kevin didn't seem too bewildered by, or even appreciative of, the size of the crowd. He complained that the cheering wasn't loud enough...okay, okay maybe it was a joke, but I guess he's used to massive crowds. I'm not too crazy about the gratuitous vulgarity. Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle, Pryor, and Sam Kinison use(d) vulgarities. but they used them to embellish their jokes, they weren't used as a crutch. I came across this because I was searching for stand-up, and I like a good laugh once in a while. This wasn't very funny imo. I shut it off half-way through and then checked out Kevin's "Laugh At My Pain" show, which is funnier, but not by much. I think I'm being generous in giving it a 5 rating because maybe it's just me.

I like Kevin Hart and I really want to love this show. But compare this to Dave Chapelle's shows and dare I say Louie CK's. This is not as funny as I first saw 'laugh at my pain'. It has good moments though. So a big meh~
