Ronny Chieng: Love to Hate It

Not funny at all, I liked Ronny Chieng first stand up on Netflix. The second Netflix special was not funny, I decided to give him another chance. First 10 minutes of the Netflix special was mildly funny I thought maybe this time around will get some laughs . But I was mistaken, after first 10 minutes it turned into annoying rant that started giving me a headache. There was nothing funny about it, just what Ronny Cheing thinks about life events, politics and how things should be. Advice to Ronny, comedy is about making people laugh not annoy them with a senseless rant of what you think. Had to stop the show midway.

Worth a watch! Broke out in laughter a few times, which I find happens less and less the more you watch stand-up comedy over the years, so definitely appreciate it when it happens.

Quite witty content and thus enjoyed the themes, which though not brand new in comedy, such as political events, family and asian culture, were approached in a smart and sharp satirical manner that splashed a wave of freshness.

Found the more sympathetic and less of a mockery gaze in current male struggles an innovative approach.

Also a very strong performer with a wide repertoire, which made the execution of the jokes stand out.

One of the best Asian talk show ever, which touches upon several key political issues, with a unique, innovative, deep, insightful, brave, and most importantly, honest view. He also touches a few family related issues, with deep sincerity as well. Love to see the born of a great comedian and artist. Proud of him as an Asian American myself.

The show is 100% recommended!

Compare this with other talk show works, this performance stands out by its deliciated structure, master-class delivery, and sheer genuineness. Above all the technicalities, this work truely reflects the performer's love to the society he lives in, the passion he has towards improving it.

This is one of those shows that will display your level of humor.

Either you can take the jokes and treat them as that, just jokes or you're way to stuck up and take life too seriously.

His observations are spot on from beginning to the end. I told my wife before even writing this comment that he will most likely have a few, very bad reviews from people who are way too political.

His bad reviews will solely come from people who are triggered because he (very well spokenly) challenges their thoughts and they just can't take it.

Time and time again I said out loud "That's a very good observation" (political or not)

I surely didn't love to hate it like the title suggested it, I could not believe the lowered level of well-thought and sharp observations compared with the previous two shows.

At some point I was almost convinced that everything was written by asking an AI model to write a whole new show in the style of Ronny's past shows.

There is simply no soul present.

My guess is that this was written by a D-grade embryo and for D-grade embryos only.

Ronny is very clear about other people's opinions, he doesn't care at all. And while is right about it, he should at least listen to his own opinion called self-criticism.

I hope that this was a one-time hit and miss and not the start of the downfall.
