Daniel Sloss: X

The last specials of Daniel Sloss were excellent. This is another one along the journey. The narrative is excellent, the disguised call backs are on another level. Everyone is talking about it being a ted talk, but it's not. It's just an excellent weaving of a meaningful performance mixed with comedy. And it still has enough to make you cry laughing. I personally think Sloss is bringing comedy onto another level. Plenty have touched upon #metoo, but have been preachy and virtue signalling. This is totally different and a fantastic performance.

Obviously this not your standard comedy special, but that is the beauty of it. Daniel Sloss has very clearly established this unique style in his three comedy specials, and there is no doubt he cares deeply about explaining why you can and should try and find humor in life's most difficult moments. I absolutely love his style of comedy, and for me he is right up there with CK, Gervais, Burr, Jeffries.

I never knew Daniel Sloss had done a third special until I got HBO Max. His humor is second to none, and the way he crafts his jokes is genius. To make such serious topics so funny just shows how great of a comedian he is.

I never thought I'll find an another comedian that I will just ADORE. Ricky Gervais set a very high standard for me. Daniel Sloss, however, is right up there next to Ricky, being one of my now two favorite comedians. Everything, from the subjects Daniel chooses to the way he approaches them, his morbidly funny dark sense of humor (I've been lacking this with Ricky because, despite the fact the his soh is indeed dark, it is not at the same level of harshness and is not as aggressively dark as the one in my - and apparently Daniel's - head is) and how he uses his shows not only for comedy but also to talk about really important issues (as he said in this one "I finish my shows with a sad 15 minutes TED talk), I am just absolutely amazed and mesmerised. What a fine comedian. And what an extraordinary feeling when you resonate with someone on such a high level and you suddenly feel like being such a sometimes inadequate jerk and moron is ok-ay!

Many of those who appear to be mad about the fact that within thi special Daniel deals with actual serious topics are plain out ignorant people. If feel like shedding some light on the matter, so here we go. Comedy is a genre that from the most ancient of times deals with taboos and subjects that would normally be extremely hard to talk about. Daniel Sloss has always managed to take this approach one step further by talking about extremely unpleasant subjects and mixing them with dark jokes and his very own peculiar brand of comedy. Personally I've loved Daniel's brand of humor from day one, but if you're not familiar with it, don't watch this. Acclimate yourself first, this is not meant to be easy and it's a milestone for someone I think to be one of the best comedians the world has to offer right now. Do not watch this expecting it to be light, this is sensitive stuff and it's meant to be heard as well as it's meant to be hard on you. Oh, and it's obviously flipping hilarious.
