Yearly Departed (2021)
You are cordially invited to the most hilarious party of the year. The groundbreaking comedy special returns with more of the world's funniest women roasting and toasting all we're leaving behind in 2021.

After another tumultuous year, the women of Yearly Departed invite you to reflect, rejoice, and raise a glass (or several) to everything we're leaving in the past, capped off by a special performance by Grammy-winning pop star Alessia Cara. So kick off your heels and let Yvonne and friends ring in the new year as only they know how: By having a good time.

    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Yearly Departed' has received mixed reactions, with some critics arguing it lacks genuine humor and is overly political. There is a notable divide on the talent and comedic abilities of the female performers, with praise and criticism alike. Jane Fonda's appearance is frequently highlighted, though opinions on her performance vary. Some viewers appreciate the showcase of female talent and find certain segments amusing, while others feel the special falls short of expectations and fails to deliver consistent laughs.

    A little bit of brightness about a rough year

    I loved so much about this special. Meg Stalter, Yvonne Orji, and Jane Fonda in particular were so so so excellent, and there are so many great visual jokes tucked into it as well. I appreciate the way this highlights female talent in a way they deserve.

    A 2 rating if we're generous!

    What a waste of time. Trying to find non political just funny humor is no longer available. Poor taste or rather bad taste. No humor without politics or vulgarity. Real humor is lacking and after Yearly Departed Iam happy to turn the page of these shows and don't let the door hit you.

    Even worse than the 2020 review

    Not sure what else to say. Last years review was bad, unlike 2021 transition in where we had much the same, this one got worse, which is hard to believe that was possible.

    Best evidence that women are not comedians

    Best evidence that women are not comedians. I didn't know if I was watching a comedy special or a woke political rally. Adding Jane Fonda's antiestablishment drivel was a nice touch, considering she's part of the establishment. Now you know why men comedians get paid so much more.

    Just What I Needed

    Just watched today, New Years Eve... Refreshingly funny with a few comediennes that are new to me and a welcome introduction.

    Jane Fonda stuns, as does Alessia Cara.

    The "women aren't funny" meme should have been added to the in memoriam segment.
