Bert Kreischer: Sem Vergonha

I was expecting an overworked special since everyone has had to wait 3 years to put out new stuff.

Yes there are his "clichés", or is "Bertisms" but it's well constructed and funny.

I know he is 50 and a comedian for a long time but what angers me about Bert is that deep down he has what it takes to became a worldwide famous comedian, an household name, and even though he is extremelly famoun in the US, he falls short in the rest of the world due to playing too much into his "frat boy" personna.

That's his identity, sure. But he should grow with it and the humour is still "I drink, my wife's a redneck, my kids are dumb"

Overall it's still a pretty funny special that very much exceeded my expectations, well done Bart!

I've enjoyed some of his older stand up specials but this sadly felt like the worst of his work to date.

His punchlines barely got a chuckle out of me at best and there's a lot of reusing his old tropes. As an example, I don't get why there is a a slow-mo of him bursting out of his shirt and why being shirtless has become his 'thing' because while it might have some value the first time, I just don't find it funny the 2nd, 3rd, 4th time.

I felt his stories left me puzzled in this special, which is a shame because his most famous 'the machine' story is so well polished and funny. These jokes fell flat because I constantly was finding myself questioning the believability of his stories and that he is simply trying to make them as crude as possible because that's what he thinks the audience wants (and if it works well more power to him, it's just not for me).

Big big fan of Bert's I've seen all of his specials, he's a great podcaster and comedian but I was not a fan of this special, I really felt like he just wasn't ready to do this special. A lot of recycled jokes, not a whole lot of creativity or original stuff. I hate to leave this but it didn't get me going like his last specials. I think he should have waited another year to polish his jokes or come up with some new material. Bert feels the need to rush into releasing a special right away. The first 20 minutes he was sprinting through all these mediocre jokes I've heard several times from other comedians. I could go on but watch it for yourself, personally not for me. To each it's own.

I watched with my girlfriend (who found it funny ) but I think this humour is probably suited for young adults. Nothing memorable in this special. Not bashing Bert; I am a fan of him. I hope we see some more sharper angles from him in the future ? One of the problems is a lot of people tune into his podcast with Tom, which is amazing . People eventually expect your comedy level to be more crisp and smoother as your podcast. It's kind of like watching your favourite baseball player hitting .300 and cranking 40 homers , and then the next season only hitting 20 (which is fine) but not to the level we expect.

Comedy is dead in this society and this is a good representation of this. Cancel culture and political correctness has taken over every aspect of this business and it's shown in this special. Big fan of Bert from the beginning but these jokes and stories are very unlike him. He was always the funny, immature, fat alcoholic with great stories but now it's more of a careful wordplay to not get in trouble with anyone. I would laugh uncontrollably at his old specials and this one would crack a smile out of me here and there. It wasn't unfunny, just unlike him. It's hard to see great comedians such as bert being blocked by norms forced into society.
