My Name Is Mo'Nique

I absolutely love Monique and want to see her win. And continue to win. The cussing what a bit overkill. MF this and MF that ninja this and ninja that. It was over done to the point where I was focusing more on how much she was cussing than the actual punch lines. Some of the build up in her storytelling didn't hit like it should which was a little disappointing. I really wanted her to nail this one but it was quite there. I think she had great content but the lengthy build up to the punch line that didn't actually land made the whole thing a little off.

But I still love Monique and can't wait for more from her.

After sitting through only half of her show. I couldn't take the cursing which lacked any comedy at all. It seems that Mo'Nique is out of touch with comedy today. So she decided to just talk about herself, put herself down, cuss in every sentence, and obviously make up some bad comedy stories which we all know didn't happen. How many years did it take for her to finally get on Netflix and this is all she brings? Lol. In her defense most comedians have lost their funny since COVID. We all had to deal with some type of loss during this time, but damn I would of been working hard on some good jokes knowing I was going to finally be able to show Netflix what they had been missing. This is a fail, and Mo'Nique baby, this is why they wanted an audition in the first place.

If you like hearing curse words throughout the entire show OK, no comedy at all . I watched it and it was really bad. I would appreciate her atleast talking about world 🌎 news or issues or just comedy . What she's doing is straight hating on others or bad mouthing people and adding curse words everywhere and then what kills me is she then tries to act like she's so wholesome after just being vulgar for a entire hour. There's nothing funny about her Netflix Special ( and I was happy when she got it , because she complained about not having a special ) and boy was I disappointed 😢 the first five minutes grandma surely couldn't watch it . She opened up cursing . I love Luenelle , Somore , Wanda Sykes , Leslie love these ladies and they do real comedy . And I tried to give Monique the benefit of the doubt , but I have to say it She's NOT A COMEDIAN . Or let me say this she's not a comedian for me.

Monique, like the Sommore, used to have good jokes. Now she seems to have an act where it's all set up for a punch line that never really comes. Off the stage, she has had so much beef with so many peers that it makes you wonder where the issue is. I liked the beginning of the show where Monique tries to get the audience to understand how she came up and that her background is rooted in her not being school smart.

After that, there just was not enough good material to generate much laughter for our family. She really fought to get the money she deserves for this special so I expected more instead of just a well dressed victory lap.

As many have said, the profanity was overbearing. Instead of saying uhh as a space saver, she used cuss worlds. I saw Monique a few years ago in New York and I was highly disappointed because her entire set was about the mess with Oprah, Lee, and Tyler. With all that has transpired with her since then, my expectations for this special were high and she missed the mark. It was her time to show the world why she deserved more. Yet, I didn't laugh a single time. It seemed like she was attempting to justify her behavior with the life stories as opposed to telling jokes. I think Monique got so lost in trying to be right that she forgot how to be funny. She looked great though.
