This has got to be the least entertaining special of hers I've seen. It seemed like her and the audience weren't connecting, and it threw the whole routine off to the point that she had to explain the punchline of a lot of her jokes. Normally they film something like this a few times over a few nights or weeks and then put out the best version of it. IDK what happened here, seemed like they just did one rough take and that was it.
Still a fan, her other specials have all been good.
On a more serious note, Whitney has talked about her body insecurities and been open about that being the reason for her plastic surgery. It's clear that she struggles with body insecurity issues and has a hard time with relationships because of it. While there is no shame in any of that, it's clear that these feelings are the basis for a lot of her jokes and it turns into a lot of material that's sorta of blaming and bashing men in a way that feels more spiteful than funny. It feels more like she's going through a list of things that bother her, or things that she's struggles with, and pointing blame more so than trying to be funny. I think she lost her focus on this one. In her last special she talked about this stuff without making it an attack and I think that serves as a good example of how she struggled to thread the needle here.
