Whitney Cummings: Jokes

I prefer the old Whitney where she would only yell the punchline - so that we knew where the funny was. It was like her own personal version of an applause sign and a laugh track. But now, she starts out yelling and mugging. Sadly, comedy specials seem to be rife with this now: Iliza Schlessinger, Kevin Hart, etc. Some people like to refer to them as being 'high energy' but it's just exhausting and it seems to be a tool and a tactic to use when the material isn't really there. This is what Robin Williams did for years and everybody was fooled by it. But go back and watch it now and you'll realize it was all a smokescreen. You're better off watching the latest Bill Burr special. Or Tig Notaro's last special.

So she's pretending not to be woke making fun of woke things? So many not funny or cringey parts... the whole thing has a weird vibe. Lots of jokes about her being super old but she's in her late 30s and still looks great so it really just doesn't work. Just very disappointing because she definitely can be funny, I've heard her on rogan and actually enjoyed the podcast.

I think Whitney tried to appeal to what she believed was the current comedy scene. This special is evidence of comedians being too distant from reality. Nothing in here is relatable to most people. The acting out is what children do when they can't get attention by using their intelligence.

I feel like this was some kind of rebound-revenge special following her broken engagement. The first 20 minutes were especially rough...

Whitney, you're better than this. Cute boots though.

I have seen All her other specials she's good, this just flops. Audience were very quiet which is weird, not sure if the Audio was just turned down but it seemed quiet. Also she seemed to be out of breath a lot of the time.

She just seemed to play it very safe in this special.

Skip it.
