Bert Kreischer: Sem Vergonha

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.

This is so bad. It's not so much that this one prop pony(you take off your shirt, again, well done) is using rehashed jokes that were not funny in the first place, it's that instead of being edgy and hilarious like a Chappelle, Kreischer is just crude. It feels like he's trying to play to a frat house audience. None of the bits are even polished. Did he try this material out in clubs first? Were these just the jokes he used on his own tour? He should have done open mics instead to get proper feedback and he could see where the bits flatlined rather than going to the well of existing fans. I could not get over the feeling that this is the old guy at the wedding, who is drunk, and doesn't realize how loud he is, while prodding and pushing other guests who don't want to know him.

I hate to give this such a poor review because I'm genuinely a fan of Bert's. To me it this special was lots of recycled stories that were maybe a bit better polished. Only two jokes I hadn't heard before.

The first 1/3rd of the special Bert talked so fast and was out of breath, seemed nervous, he eventually settles in to a rhythm.

I've been following Bert since before his Travel Channel days, I have to say his comedy has suffered in recent years in the sense that I think his creativity is spread too thin, between podcasting and film projects.

Also when a person is in the public eye as much as Bert it's not as much of a "treat" to hear stories from the podcasts or his stand up 2 years ago. Too much exposure is a real thing.

I hate to use this example but look at Dave Chappelle, you don't see him but maybe once every month or two and it's exciting because he's having experiences and people want to hear about what he's been up to.

People know what Bert had for lunch last Saturday and how many drinks he had, he needs less exposure to be better at stand up.

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've always been more of a Tom Segura fan and have always felt Bert to be mildly funny, but this special is off the charts hilarious. Truly really great standup, I have not laughed this hard in a long long time. Bert deserves recognition for being a master of the art form at this point because this is his best work yet.

His delivery, transitions and almost all new material give the special room for him to spread his wings and get away from the (very funny) machine story. This special proves unequivocally that he is actually a legit standup act and not a one hit wonder. Also I love that he puts out fewer specials than saturating the market with one a year like a lot of other comedians. Well done Brent Chrysler.
