Chelsea Handler: Revolução

I used to love Chelsea on her talk shows. Then she turned too political and everything went downhill. Her idea of a joke is telling her girlfriends to get abortions or trashing straight white men. She literally opened a segment of her show saying let's talk about straight white men. It's never ok to trash someone because of their sexuality or race. Can you imagine if someone said let's trash gay black men?!?! Her stand up shows are not funny, she was more suited for talk shows. Her story lines are not funny. I'm done with her, I give up. I guess I've grown a lot on what I consider funny and she's still acting like a 12 year old.

Well I'm just done reading all the reviews for this stand-up comedy and my conclusion is that there are a lot of never satisfied people, with a questionable sense of humor, just people that like to complain about everything. Okay Chelsea Handler is probably not the best friend of white males, but really I'm a middle-aged white man and I can laugh with her jokes. I just wished peope would not be offended all the time. It's like you can not say anything anymore nowadays, you will always offend somebody. I just don't care about things like that, you can't offend me with words nor jokes. I thought her show was funny, for sure the part about kids, a point that I can only agree with her, being childless is just the best thing in the world. In short, people should try not to take everything so seriously, certainly not with stand-up comedies. Humour is the last thing where you can say anything you want and get away with it, well almost...

To anyone reading these reviews in order to determine whether or not they might enjoy watching this: Remember that the first rule of comedy consumption is DON'T TAKE THE COMEDIAN SERIOUSLY. If you don't heed this rule, you'll not only risk hindering your enjoyment of the show, you also might incur a world of butthurt for yourself. Ms. Handler does not hate men, not even straight white ones. It doesn't mean she shouldn't make fun of them. And when she *acts* like she's angry at them and hates them, it makes the bits even funnier. The only thing that I, as a straight white man, found offensive was when she said something like "I know you're not all like that." I already knew you knew, Chelsea. You didn't have to dumb it down for me. (And the ones who need it probably aren't going to heed it anyway.)

She actually winds up a bit about how stupid she is with a punchline beginning with: "There is one moon in the whole solar system". So not only did she not know the sun and the moon aren't the same thing, she also doesn't know what a solar system is, and doesn't even realize it. There is an estimated 200 moons in our solar system. There are 79 moons on Jupiter alone. Little children can tell you that. Is she really too stupid to tell a joke about how stupid she is? I'm not giving any spoilers away, it's the end of the bit netflix lets you hear from the thumbnail clip. This is worse than her asking Noel Fielding if he'd ever heard of Nicaragua. I don't know how she can be that challenged and have the nerve to call certain politicians stupid. I got as far as the jokes about abandoning her dog, which is true. It isn't funny, obviously.

Embarrassing. Just stop.

This is just filled with low hanging fruit. She really struggles to hit any complex, intelligent bits.

All of this low brow, bad humour is what is making a horrible name for female comics.

Maybe a conglomerate of unfunny females may find this somehow amusing? If you enjoy the kind of humour that your irresponsible aunty might spew out at a brunch she wasn't invited to or something? It's seriously bad. Like to the point that you will most likely just zone out from being hit in your cringe bone frequently. Save yourself.

Honestly save yourself the time, go watch some of the greats and forget this even exists.
