I'm a HUGE Theo Von fan and watch so much of his content and love it.
I also think Theo is a comedic genius but somehow it just doesn't translate to these "big" specials.
The "white privilege" bit has a way better delivery on the YT clip from years ago imo.
Maybe going forward just film all club sets on a cheap camera and cut out the most brilliant versions for YT.
Also when sitting on a chair/stool he shines more, like on Ari's "story time" or whatever it's called. Absolutely brilliant imo.
Maybe I'm just not into "physical" comedy but it comes off as a little desperate when I know Theo's brilliance is in the quiet more subdued. He doesn't need the flash/bang stuff.
I'm very happy for Theo that most people seem to love this special and I wish him all the success in the world cause he's worth it 100%.
