Hasan Minhaj: Off with His Head

Hassan represents the experience of the Indian people in the West to a T.

Funny, fresh and consistent, is what you get with Hassan. I normally do not write reviews, but I felt obliged to do so in this case, because of the few 1 star reviews.

The only explanation I have for them is that perhaps some of the audiences could not completely relate with Hassan's experiences. I on the other hand found myself laughing and nodding along. It is probably not as hard hitting as some of his earlier material, but it is still in typical Hassan Minhaj style special.

So give it a chance and keep an open mind.

Hasan Minhaj used to be funny, and I got excited when I saw the news that this stand-up special was being released, but when I watched half of it, I was completely disappointed!

It looks like after he lost the Daily Show gig, he developed mental issues. How were these psychopathic rants allowed on Netflix?

Ranting way too long about killing senior citizens so bigger houses become available for young people to buy.

And asking for elderly politicians like specifically like "Nancy Pelosi" and "RBG if she had survived" to be brought "into a shed and put bullets into their skulls" just like "they should've done to Tom Brady"

Only 10% of the audience is laughing, but the laugh tracks that were obviously added in post-production don't match the crowd's reaction.

Hasan Minhaj has a serious case of Kevin Hart syndrome: thinking loud is funny. He screams at the top of his lungs while beating a stool within an inch of its life. He says his therapist calls him manic, which perfectly describes his stage presence. Hasan is all over the place in this special: yelling about immigrants, killing off the elderly, ignoring poor people. He even throws in a Kobe Bryant helicopter crash joke which changed the whole energy in the audience. He says mean things for shock value, which makes him come across as unlikable. Instead of wit, we get manic rambling and awkward audience interactions. Hasan does a lot of talking without saying anything; and no amount of manic screaming can save him. This special is awful.

Absolutely Disappointing. Reading the title and description, I was expecting him to deliver some kind of apology for the lies in his first Netflix special. If you don't remember, those lies were not jokes. The people he lied about had to face a lot of hate and bullying. Hasan shows no remorse for those lies, while he is sorry for expecting Ellen to pronounce his name correctly.

The quality of his comedy has clearly gone down. I chuckled only twice during the entire special. Not worth watching. I could clearly tell that many of the "laughs" in the show were fake. He somehow managed to offend every ethnicity.

As a psychologist and someone in an interracial relationship, my husband and I were screaming laughing at Hasan's latest performance! His jokes about "boundaries" and "couples therapy" literally had tears rolling down our faces! The stereotypes were hilariously accurate based on our lived experience, and Hasan has made me proud to be an Indian-American. Anyone who doesn't think Off With His Head was comedic genius clearly doesn't understand the niche California/immigrant/millennial sense of humor. His crowd work was also incredible! I love how the immigrant archetypes were perfectly placed throughout the crowd. So so so funny. Hasan has done it again! A political genius.
