Pete Davidson Presents: The Best Friends

Pete Davidson is not funny. He's a guy describing his life in a somewhat self-depreciating way. That's his entire act. This formula only works for talented comedians. Read that again.

Pete's set was only 10 minutes of the 50+ in this show, and didn't really have any jokes to speak of. I shudder to think how much he was paid for those 10 minutes. That's why you're going down the tubes, Netflix!

Pete spent his time whining about his "terrible" life and all the "terrible" things that have happened to him, like falling backwards into fame and being on a nationally televised comedic show for 8 years despite having no comedic talent to speak of.

Because Pete knows he isn't funny, and his "team" knows this, this Netflix special is mostly an attempt at deflection.

The "deflection" actually sort of works, as after his 10 minute performance ends, Pete brings in other "comedians" who are so bad at their career choice that Pete seems brilliant by comparison.

Pop culture, Hollywood: Please stop pretending we should care about Pete. He's really not funny.

Unless you are the kind of person who will laugh at absolutely anything, this is not worth bothering with. Davidson is funny at times, but not here. Machine Gun Kelly is a real embarrassment. Absolutely no talent, whatsoever. There was some minor talent featured, but nothing particularly funny. A really poor showcase, not worth watching.

So-so at best. It was better than the Amy Schumer presents one on Netflix but that isn't saying much. I'd say skip this one. It's short but even still it isn't worth the time.

It's a legit 5/10 comedy. Worth watching, BUT still Not great. It is a refreshing LOL Compared to Bill Burr's "Netflix is a Joke" Special. Hopefully he (Bill) learns that he's straight up wrong, and not funny, when he runs with "jokes" he knows are not funny (I went to his life show with the same jokes ad his Netflix is a joke special: the crowd did not laugh at the jokes he put into his special, but he would bring the crowd back with other jokes, then still continue with the "jokes" no one was laughing at).

Unfunny....the b team.

Didn't laugh once. I did win $100 at an open mic night so I am an expert😉 I guess I am spoilt by Ismo ... now there's a funny guy!

Pete isn't bad but this show just didn't do much for me!
