Ali Wong: Don Wong

I watched Ali's earlier standup specials and enjoyed them a lot, I thought she was original and showed real potential. This one is a gigantic miss though. She doesn't seem to have any new material at all, there isn't a single fresh thought in there, she's just repeating the exact same jokes from the previous shows, but for some reason, in more graphic detail, and they are dragging on way too long. Maybe because I'm not American I can't understand the cultural significance of her being nasty, but for me it does nothing. I'm not prude, it's just pointless. I'm hoping that it's some kind of female empowerment thing, otherwise I can only assume that she's doing it for shock value in a desperate attempt for attention. I sense it's a mix of both, as she really has nothing much to say.

I love Ali, but this didn't do it for me.

I watched it because I like her, but I didn't laugh once.

Maybe, it was just a bad night for her, and the next specials will get better.

Not funny at all. Ok so this needs to be a review longer than first sentence, I like all kinds of jokes literally the darker the humor the better, but this was just not funny I was wondering all the time why is the audience laughing, and sex jokes are funny usually the funniest but not if your entire show is just a joke about sex. Can't believe I wasted an hour of my free time on this.

I really liked her previous specials. There's no doubt she can be hilarious. But the jokes in this third special were pretty one note, circling around a single theme. Also, her droning on about how she's the breadwinner and her husband is living the luxury wife lifestyle is becoming a bit repetitive. What else have you got?

I feel like I watched this only 'cause I like ali wong because it's not as funny as her first two Netflix specials. This felt more like a rant about equality than stand up which made it more predictable because it's all arguments we've heard before, just coupled with a couple punchlines instead so I did still have a few laughs. Same way I wouldn't want to to hear a rant about women for an hour is the same way I wouldn't be excited to hear one against men. And some of her jokes felt like recycled, rephrased lines from her previous two, where she'll talk crap about her husband or being a breadwinner and then talk about why she loves him in the end. It was funny the first time, the second, not so much.

I liked ali wong because even if she joked about men or did explicit jokes, it was well thought of and actually funny while this was just stereotypical cheap shots at men or how good being single with no kids is. There were hints of her brilliance but too few, you might enjoy this if you don't like or annoyed by men and want to relate, but not because it's funny, unlike her first two which really were. I don't think it's bad enough to warranty all the 1 or 2 star ratings, but watching this just made me wish Netflix gave the chance for a full special to Adrienne Lapalucci from "the degenerates" (on Netflix too) because they're not a lot of women who do that kind of comedy so it was nice to see, for me at least as a dark comedy fan.
