Gabriel Iglesias: Legend of Fluffy

I found the program boring, lacking energy. Thinking about it later, his mother died, his girlfriend split, and Frankie is a young adult and out on his own. He's got nothing left to talk about except Martin(e). He said he wanted to keep it light and funny and then proceeded to beat the audience (and poor Dustin) over the head for 90 minutes with PC BS. Note the final riff on how he learned so much by being shamed and how good it is to be shamed, and then compare that to his beginning story about a McD's manager shaming him on word usage. I sighest. Fluffy and Chapelle need to sit down and compare notes on what the world needs now.

I don't know if you remember the energy and happiness Fluffy used to spread by performing a decade ago. How he could imitate high pitched voices and describle hilarious situations with his perfect storytelling skills. I don't see that guy anymore! He used to be really funny and this... is not funny at all. In this special, people cheer and laugh at every unrelatable sentence which makes it annoying at some point. The performance is without any soul and feels just like an old guy telling his boring memories in a bar. My take might be due to the sake of nostalgia but I have a feeling that fluffy went through so much and couldn't recover from it.

Gabriel Iglesias used to make me laugh like no other. His first special I've watched time and time again and I could still laugh so hard. I'm crying. The last few specials are so pandering and lame that this one I barely got through. The jokes are old, the setup goes nowhere. He rambles on and on and has all these inspirational things to say, but nothing is laugh worthy. He reminds me of the washed up comedians you see In Vegas you can see for $25 and a drink you have to buy. This special was that bad. Super nice guy, and I still like him, but either get it together or retire. Don't go out like this.

This show is all about him patting himself on the back. The first 20 minutes has a total of 1 joke in it. There are rounds of polite applause from the audience 👏, but only in the way a congregation is friendly to their preacher.

If you LOVE funny stuff, this is NOT it. He first wants you to be in awe that he has been a comedian for 27 years. Then he actually asks the audience how many people at his show had never heard of him before? He counts and says, "oh, about 5 people". In short, this stand up special is all about him indulging his own ego.

It is painful. You keep waiting for the jokes, but they just don't come. He's basically a confident public speaker 📢 with nothing to really say, unless you include old throw reasons to compel applause like: 1. Back in the day we respected our elders!

2. Love being here in Miami-Dade (even though the HardRock here is in Broward County and that's Ft. Lauderdale)

He is doing the Kevin James, Katt Williams stuff where they USED to be very funny. Now they just want to preach to you about things that we all generally know about. No prep. No new jokes. Nothing clever. Just give me the microphone, I can just work the room and make people feel good. But that's NOT funny. Don't tell us what you've done, in order to make a new dollar, how about earning your dollars today by shoeing up with new material and telling jokes!! 🤔

It is a TOTAL money grab. He said he isn't the kind of comedian to get political. Then his first joke is taking a poke at the while pronoun identification issue him/them she/they. And just like a typical Gen X'er, it wasn't funny. It wasn't shameful or offensive. It was just cringy because he first said that he wouldn't, THEN it wasn't that funny.

Long talking set ups to jokes with almost no pay off. So the audience politely claps 👏 and once again, he thinks 🤔 in his own mind that he was brilliant. Everyone at that show should have gotten a refund. Terrible.

Comedians shouldn't wing it. Rehearse, write new stuff, and be better than this!

Went to see Fluffy earlier this year. I feared that this special was the same show I saw; and it was. Depressing.

Man, I come to a show to escape. I watch comedy specials to escape. And Fluffy used to help me escape. Not with his current material.

He starts off with stating he's not going to get political....then proceeds to hit political hot buttons THAT WE ALL WOULD LIKE TO ESCAPE FROM regardless of whatever side you find yourself: vaccines, pronouns, cancel culture, pc language, firearms

Now Fluffy might not think he's being political because he's not (in his mind) advocating for one side completely but DAMN Fluffy; you didn't think an audience of hundreds of people would politicize THOSE TOPICS by what they cheered and jeered for?

At the show I attended, with this same material; I had to endure a Midwest Johnny-Red-Wannabe whooping and cheering ever time Fluffy mentioned firearms FOR A HALF AN HOUR. It was exactly the opposite experience of what I spent my hard earned money to experience. Growing up with firearms, I may have agreed with this guy on a number of issues BUT THATS NOT WHY I WATCH COMEDY, especially Fluffy's comedy.

The rest of his special & live act is filled with self-reflection that I'm glad Fluffy has worked through BUT, Fluffy, please do it on your time not when I pay money to watch you live or on a Netflix special.

Someone compared this to a Ted talk and I couldn't agree more.

I was disappointed in his live show and this special to a degree I didn't think I would with Fluffy.
