Hasan Minhaj: Off with His Head

I have no idea why he got so many negative reviews that's why I felt compelled to write one review on IMDb to even out the playing field .I thought he was brilliant, intelligent, insightful, honest and most of all hysterical. And yes he is loud and throws around a stool, it's called dramatic effect. Extremely relevant and very relatable the issues he brings up, being a father, being a son and being an American. Thank you Hasan for once again pointing out what is obviously wrong witch your comical yet quick witted, sharp brilliance. I gave it a ten because I found absolutely no fault with the standup.

Who is giving this a 1 and why?? This guy is so funny and smart. Every line, every insight... funny, engaging. He manages to make very controversial points, without offending anyone.

Would love to know who is dissing this and why. Does he hit a nerve on racial subjects? I'm so confused that anyone could find him offensive.

I love all the insights on cultural issues.

I was engaged and entertained from beginning to end

The dog section is so spot on and funny.

Just guessing that there are conservatives offended with the swearing?

Audience is filled with highly entertained, engaged people... wish some of them would leave a review.

Absolutely Disappointing. Reading the title and description, I was expecting him to deliver some kind of apology for the lies in his first Netflix special. If you don't remember, those lies were not jokes. The people he lied about had to face a lot of hate and bullying. Hasan shows no remorse for those lies, while he is sorry for expecting Ellen to pronounce his name correctly.

The quality of his comedy has clearly gone down. I chuckled only twice during the entire special. Not worth watching. I could clearly tell that many of the "laughs" in the show were fake. He somehow managed to offend every ethnicity.

Well it took me a minute to adjust my perspective, to open my mind as it were. I really enjoyed his performance, it was provocative to be sure. I am a firm believer that race and cultures will always find a way to be at odds from a narrow perspective. We're born and raised in an environment to protect ourselves from hate and harm from outsiders.

When someone so gracefully shines a bright light on all the idiosyncrasies without malice, it makes for great entertainment. A bit uncomfortable and threatening at first, a real skill in comedic delivery keep up the good work. You've got a new fan in me.

Funny and insightful. Connected with me as an Indian who is somewhat familiar with US, history and it's cultural idiosyncrasies in this period. I laughed a lot and got a bit emotional.

To be completely honest was also a bit annoyed by the extremely loud and manic performance. I know most of the emotional core of this performance relies on convincing us of his manic problems, but it just too damn loud. Else it would've been 9/10 for me.

PS: Compelled to write the review by the surprise of such lowly rated reviews (1/2/.... I mean everyone in the audience seemed to genuinely have a great time. I understand that it does not bear the genius of rich wordplay or the brilliantly observant (but safe) situational comedy of Seinfeld or LD. Nor does it exhibit the sheer brilliance in jokes, craft and effortlessness of Louis C. K. or the Chris Rock of old but it's good and well worth the watch.
