Gabriel Iglesias: Stadium Fluffy

A two-hour trip down "the dumps" road. I stopped half-way to check if it was a comedy or documentary.

I realized I hadn't laughed in a while.

Finished watching it week or so later.

It got worst.

Dis-appointing. Maybe he's lost his touch?

From his stories... maybe time for counselling?

I would still recommend all his other stuff. The man can be very funny. Just not here. It's a shame too. I don't think he'll ever get a chance like this again.

Too much personal emotional stories. With very few jokes. But he does explain why he's not so funny... He doesn't want to hurt anybody's' feelings.

When he's is over his break-up I would expect better..

Known for his voice imitations and making fun of his mostly generic daily activities and lifestyle, Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias is listed as one of the top 40 comedians in 2018 by Hollywood Reporter.

Gabriel's visceral narratives and vivid descriptions supported by the hilarious sound effects grab the audience into the story from the beginning and establish almost a one-on-one direct dialog with everyone at the individual level.

Although a lot of the stand-up comedians choose divisive or touchy subjects for laughter material, Gabriel purposely avoids it which allows him to relate to a much wider audience.

This Netflix special is a truly funny laughing matter yet it's delivered as it is told off the cuff. It starts slow and gets funnier by the minute. It is a very entertaining show.

I prefer earlier Gabriel. His first special was absolutely hilarious. Other ones that he had were also pretty good, too. This one, unfortunately, didn't do anything for me. He cites Kevin Hart for doing a stadium show, so he wanted to try it. That's fair. However, Kevin Hart's stadium show was also not funny- comedy rarely translates to huge arenas. This was also pretty long- usually, that's a bonus, but the comedy just wasn't happening for me, so I was waiting for the end before it was the end. I notice that Martin is making lots of appearances in his videos now. Nobody is there to see him, not sure why he gets pulled out at shows.

I saw Stadium Fluffy last night, and I simply enjoyed it... And that's not necessarily a great compliment. When I watch a Fluffy show, I know it will be nothing but big laughs the entire show. You're going to bust out laughing the whole show. So, if you merely just enjoyed it, then it's somewhat of a disappointment compared to his previous work.

The venue itself (Dodger Stadium) was basically also a star of the show. So Gabiel needed great material that was worthy of the great venue. That material simply did not live up to it... at times. A lot of the show was hit or miss with the impact of the jokes.

I did notice that more of Gabriel's stories were just that... Stories, not jokes. I expected more rapid fire jokes in his stories. But at times they were few and far between in Stadium Fluffy. I don't mind Gabriel telling us stories about his life. After all, that's what his stand-up material is based off. That's his bread and butter and he should stick to that formula. But all I ask is to be more consistent about the funny delivery of those stories.

Good entertainment, but not Fluffy's best.

I like Fluffy a lot. The old shows were something new, and he's still the best while imitating sounds and people. But this one, this newest show, is just too long, and while waiting for the puns I felt like getting a preachers speech about life and mislife crisis.

The puns he made were funny, though. But it was 'too american' for my taste, with all the talk about cancel culture, vaccine and love your neighbour speeches. So I'll await the next Fluff round where I hope to find some new moves rather than the old safe tour in the latest part of comedy history. Tge show surely is good enough for a little laugh, but not wver as good as Ricky Gervais.
