David Cross: Making America Great Again

His topics aren't new for him or most comedians but he still manages to find a way to make em hilarious. Im sure alot of these negative reviews are from trump supporters or what not but the sandy hook victims material had me in tears.

I have seen numerous comedians use material from a new special in a late night interview. The whole reason for the late night appearance is to promote a new show, etc.

I enjoyed his shows before, but was neither funny nor insightful in this special. A huge swing and a miss. With the exception of the gun riff, he relied on old material focused mainly on his smelly body parts. Maybe that is why none of the big premier pay channels picked up this special. Netflix will have to do better in the future choosing streaming material.

David Cross behaves like a grown up that still blames his parents for all the problems he faces in everyday life. His stand up is basically always the same thing, he just recycles it. He gives it some new jokes but it's always the same routine. Church, right wing politicians, church, church, church... If you don't want to be disappointed, just watch one of his stand ups and then nothing else, ever. This way you will actually enjoy it. He is a smart and funny guy but can't break out of a circle he drawn himself. I wish he would stick to just staring in shows. He is amazing when someone else writes his material. I hope he will entertain us for a long time, just not with stand ups.

When someone suggests that Larry the cable guy is funnier, I have to wonder. From my experience comics evolve, but slowly. They use the same themes but explore different aspects. David Cross is very talented and very funny. Do I like every joke ? No, but I don't like all of the music from my favorite musician either. If you don't like someone's art, then don't buy it. As he says in the show - if you don't like his material then maybe you didn't do your homework about who he is and the kind of material he does.
