Chris Distefano: Speshy Weshy

Not his best work, maybe because it's been chopped in order to be placed both on Netflix and YouTube, but you're still excited for him. Chris has a lot of heavy-hit jokes and can really rock a room, this special just didn't showcase it as much. Prime example that a comedian's likability matters, because I wasn't even upset at the result. Just excited to see him get better and better cause he's a great guy and naturally funny.

It's funny because I found out about this guy on Tom segura's and Bert kreisher's show and thought it was Chris d'elia at first; he talked about how no one wanted to buy his special and was just gonna do it regardless then put it on YouTube. I think it's kinda funny how he calls them all out, hbo, Hulu, Netflix and all, and Netflix changed their minds, bought it and still kept it in. I was kinda shocked that it's a little short at 36min but I like it. I don't want to say it but it just feels like a typical white guy comedy at first but it is funny. He seemed to wonder or try to wonder off into the edgy material content but never really commits to it here. I don't know if all his specials are like that. I love how he talks about how white guys are getting canceled and he's switching over, I loved that part. Every time I watch stand up specials I'm usually inclined to give it a 7 or 6/10 because I'm like ouu I like that, but you can't really give it a rating because humor is subjective and just depends on what you like. I just try listening to all sorts of comedy so you'll find me laughing at dry dad jokes at one moment, a girl complaining about their Frappuccino order getting messed up after spin class in the next moment and then later hear me laughing at distasteful jokes about dead babies or religion. I just think funny is funny. Chris distefano felt like white guy comedy but I still thought he was good at it and just didn't showcase what he's capable of. I mean you can tell, the specials name is speshy weshy and he calls the pandemic the "pandy wandy" and that just felt like white vibes I think.

I'll be honest, I don't understand the negative reviews. I thought it was funny. I laughed/chuckled at a good number of the jokes. I saw somebody said it was "white guy comedy" and honestly I can see why, but I didn't think that detracted from what he was capable of very much. "white guy comedy" is fine for me... but then again, I'm a white guy so who knows.

I like this guy, I like this special, I think he did a good job.

Of course, it's not amazing or hilarious or anything but I enjoyed it and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a basic, straightforward comedy special...

ok at this point I'm just trying to hit the character minimum.

Not surprising that a reviewer that refers to Netflix as 'Neggflixx' doesn't seem to get it. If you know Distefano, then you know how funny he can be. Especially if you've heard his bit about his Dad in his last special. Now he adds a lot of funny stuff about being married to a Latina woman - and not the usual material you hear on that topic.

And if you don't know Distefano, check it out. It's short but packed full of laughs. I mean, not anything as funny as calling something 'Neggflixx' but that kind of comedy is from the REAL professionals.

I thought the special was pretty good. Maybe not pee-your-pants-hysterically funny, but definitely entertaining. I respect the fact that he couldn't get any networks to buy it so he produced it himself. I say, "Good for him.". Because of that, it was only filmed a couple months ago, which means the current events jokes are still relevant which is a nice change. I'll be interested to see what he comes up with next.
