Your Friend, Nate Bargatze

Sometimes stand-up comedy can be a scary thing to turn on with family with so many comedians using crude and uncomfortable humor lately, but this one is a winner. Nate's style of delivering dry and often self-deprecating jokes create contagious laughter that grows and grows as he elaborates on parts or our day to day life so that we can see the hilarity for ourselves, almost as if we are discovering the comedy right along with him. His delivery is great, the venue is great, the crowd is great, and the special is great. I would have rated this higher, but the jokes aren't really my personal style. However, this is one of my most highly rated specials that don't have jokes that would be uncomfortable to watch with family. It is funny even though I'm clearly not the target audience.

Is this the slowest, most unaware man to ever live or is this an act? Judging by all of his specials I've seen, it's his stage persona. But it's wearing thin. We get it, your wife knows & does everything for you & you mumble & stumble your way through life. This man is my age, 45. This whole aloof act might have been funny as a newly married man in his 20's or even 30's, but you can't expect me to believe he has made it to the ripe old age of 45 not knowing anything. I guess I might choose Nate Bargatze if I was unaware of what comedy was and didn't know of any other comedians. But, he's shot to the top of the charts, though, so what do I really know? I guess a lot of people find this schtick hilarious. But, Joe Rogan has a lot of fans too. So, go figure.

I've always love love LOVED (not in a creepy way - don't hate lol) Nate Bargatze's comedy and saw him live not long ago in Green Bay, WI. But this special just seemed...tired. Truly hope he's doing ok. I wouldn't be surprised if he's a little burnt out. Heck, anyone would be with how much fame he's gained recently! Touring, SNL...it's gotta be a lot to say the least.

I was so excited to watch this special, but at the end, all I felt was worry for him.

Repeated jokes in this special also seemed (to me) to lack enthusiasm. I'm sure it gets monotonous to tour and say the same jokes over and over, but you'd think for a Netflix special, he could have at least faked enthusiasm.

I'm truly hoping all is well with him. It's not a terrible special, but I'd recommend his previous stand up and his SNL skits before this.

Nate Bargatze's new comedy special is kind of funny, but it doesn't quite measure up to his usual greatness. The jokes feel a bit half-baked, and they're pretty safe and predictable-not the clever stuff fans are used to. He's still got that deadpan style and charm, but the pacing is slow and the laughs barely get beyond a mild chuckle. There are some relatable moments, but they're few and far between. All in all, it's a letdown compared to his better past specials.

Also, who told him to put a whole section on animal cruelty in his set? Who are the people who laugh at this and find it funny? All of us who were watching agreed that he lost us at that point.

I don't know what the bad reviews are about, I get that comedy is subjective but I thought he did great. I don't think some people get when he's being sarcastic. He says out loud all the things we think about on a daily basis in a marriage. The beginning was a little slow but still had so many funny moments. The second half was so good and had my family laughing so hard we were crying and that hasn't happened for any of us when watching a stand up comedian in a loooonnngggg time!!! To find a comedian who can deliver true funny bits that are clean without needing to include all the inappropriate details that so many others rely on is refreshing. I like those other comedians also but it really shows how talented he is that he can be this funny without it!
