Bert Kreischer: Secret Time

The entire special is hilarious, definitely worth watching

Bert is one of the few comics I have seen that every show is not like their previous ones. I have seen acts live and you feel like you are listening to one of their cds, as there is no fan interaction or actual improv happening. I have seen Bert live last year in Kansas City and almost all of his show was ad lib and fan engagement. The show was amazing and I have bought tickets to see him two times next month.

Secret Time- Picks right off of the Machine special with Bert telling stories like only he can. Between the hilarious stories and the mixed in one liners, you will be laughing until it hurts. Has great re-watch ability, as I've already watch it twice since it came out. If you have time to catch him live, hes worth the price of admission, signs autographs after the show, takes photos, and shots with his fans.

Who finds this peurile, lazily constructed pap funny? Well, apparently people who have never seen good comedy before and given this garbage 9 and 10 out of 10 ratings. Kreischer's silly "secret time" announcements are a form of one-liner comedy so worn out that it literally felt like I was watching a 30 year old comedy special hosted by Louis Anderson or Stephen Wright but not nearly as funny given that Kreischer is the first to laugh at his own jokes half the time. Chappelle, CK, Seinfeld, Sykes, Silverman, Jeffries all have nothing to worry about in terms of competition from this twaddle spewing fraud who takes the lazy route, unable to craft any type of sophisticated joke and, instead, relies on being shirtless and relating unfunny personal anecdotes that he squeezes for all the forced chuckle juice he can extract that, while funny to him, inspires nothing but a kind of Inquirer-esque titillation from his "I'm-here-for-a-comedy-special-so-I'm-gonna-laugh-dammit" audience. He is, however, laughing all the way to the bank because the societal bar is so low right now or the state of worldly affairs is so traumatizing, there is no end to people who desperately want to find hilarity where there is none. What a disappointment.

While his previous specials had their moments, I felt like you needed to know Bert to truly enjoy them. This was his first one where anyone would enjoy it. I watched with my father, who had never heard of Bert before, but said "He is kind of a fat idiot, but a funny fat idiot."

The stories were great, the punchlines perfectly timed, and while I wasn't a fan of the "theme" (lack of a better term) it worked well for this one. Very good and entertaining.

Bert is the man and delivered on his Netflix debut. Kinda bummed he didn't share the Russian I'm the machine story but nonetheless it was top notch comedy.
