Gabriel Iglesias: Legend of Fluffy

I don't know, man - bring the old Fluffy back! Where's the energy, the pacing, sounds, voices, the "adventurous" stories?

This show is very slow, basically it's like 4 topics/stories in 85 minutes. Plus, the content is very cautious, too correct, too apologetic. I did not expect anything offensive, risky or anything in ie. RickyG or JimmyC style, however this was totally .. sterile. Totally. No own opinion or statement, just cautious maneuvering in wording, situations, stories.

As much as I love Fluffy for his shows up to One show fits all, which I watched several times and recommended to everyone aroud me, this one and the last one (Stadium Fluffy) seem as if he's lost his drive and spark. I cannot put my finger on anything specific but it's just differrent. Not that funny. Like racing your car while following all the traffic rules to the point.

Also, the audience clapping and laughter seems a bit off and I was checking the footage if people are really laughing or clapping. Because I couldn't match the content with the reaction.

So.. I still like and respect Gabriel, I will just stick with his older shows, though.

I literally made an account just to talk about how much this sucked. The constant talk about politics is just TERRIBLE and shows he's ran out of original material, I can appreciate comedians using politics in their set when it's actually funny but literally none of his jokes land for me, it's all recycled material you see from any grifter on social media. Also the over editing is ABYSMAL, constant cuts make this damn near nauseating to watch and it always sounds like they have a "LAUGH" sign above the stage that lights up, but even then it sounds like nobody laughed so they had to edit in audio of them laughing. I can not believe this man is making jokes about the vaccine in the year 2025, so much PC bs that gets so tiring it feels as if that's all his specials are now. Constantly talking about people getting "offended" and "offensive" this and "offensive" that and "cancel" this and "cancel" that. He also keeps going on lectures that feel sooooooo forced.

"Kids dont know about respect these years!" *edited in crowd noise of people clapping 30 seconds after he made said statement* "Haha Cancel Culture amiright?" *crowd clapping like drones*

Just a flat out lifeless, unorganic, unfunny comedy set, and you hate to see it from a comedian like Gabriel Iglesias! Hopefully his next special is actually funny and not Gen X nonsensical bs.

Fluffy has less flair than usual here wirh a nostalgic take and lots of talking. A few of the jokes are hilarious and some voice imitations on point but many are neutral, flat or predictable. Still, the charisma and craft is there. The writing could have simply been better and tighter.

A bit too much about the past or jokes too specific to Florida. The best part is the long house robbery and gun salesman with a few oyher highlights and laughs.

The advice about being grateful to simply be alivr is well placed although the reat is hardly happiness therapy. Some commenters complain it is too much of a Ted Talk and he mentions it in the show. I have nothing against Ted Talks and some are even quit funny, entertaining and informative. The problem here is that amazing comedians or comedic routine would make these points with humour and also mostly better punchlines.

The show also did not end on a high point and could have given more or be better edited. Still worth a watch for aome laughs.

I don't know if you remember the energy and happiness Fluffy used to spread by performing a decade ago. How he could imitate high pitched voices and describle hilarious situations with his perfect storytelling skills. I don't see that guy anymore! He used to be really funny and this... is not funny at all. In this special, people cheer and laugh at every unrelatable sentence which makes it annoying at some point. The performance is without any soul and feels just like an old guy telling his boring memories in a bar. My take might be due to the sake of nostalgia but I have a feeling that fluffy went through so much and couldn't recover from it.

I found the program boring, lacking energy. Thinking about it later, his mother died, his girlfriend split, and Frankie is a young adult and out on his own. He's got nothing left to talk about except Martin(e). He said he wanted to keep it light and funny and then proceeded to beat the audience (and poor Dustin) over the head for 90 minutes with PC BS. Note the final riff on how he learned so much by being shamed and how good it is to be shamed, and then compare that to his beginning story about a McD's manager shaming him on word usage. I sighest. Fluffy and Chapelle need to sit down and compare notes on what the world needs now.
