Chelsea Handler: Revolution

I kept thinking maybe it would get better and I watched the entire show. I have watched all of her others plus seen her live 3 times and enjoyed all of them. Thoroughly enjoyed. I don't know what the heck this was, I barely cracked a smile and never once laughed. What happened Chelsea? You had to have known this sucked before you put it out. Uganda be Kididng Me was the best! If you want to watch something actually funny watch that. Hilarious! Her books are all good too, she is usually funny so I don't know what happened here. Maybe she was in a hurry to get this out? I had really hoped to like this but total waste.

Chelsea's specials are always entertaining. This special is so relevant at this time in the world. It provided lots of laughs. It answers the questions numerous people have had for years and There are many questions posed to women in all facets of life and this special gives perspective on them all. Why have children if you don't really care one way or the other about supporting them? Smart men and women will never be able to understand that expectation of support from strangers (government assistance) because women chose to go through with having a baby. Single men and women will never care what happens to these parents who haven't planned their lives at all. Such a shame.

I used to think Chelsea was great. I watched her show every week and she was edgy and hilarious. Then come November 2016 and it was like someone flicked a switch and turned off the funny.

Everything I've seen since then was cringe, something was broken, her last special i lasted 15 mins before i turned it off. But now, it seems like she has found it again!

The first 40 minutes of this special is great! If she had ended it there, it would be an 8/10. At about 55 minutes it got boring enough for me to venture to imdb to see what kind of response it had. The 5.9 convinced me to bail on it, that score made it seem like it wasnt going to get any better. If you're going to put out a 76min special you better have a track record of excellence and a performance that entraps the audience for the first 60 mins at least.

I watched Sam Morril's special right before this so maybe my expectations were a little too high, but i'm bailing at 55mins and maybe i'll watch the rest sometime, maybe i wont.

To anyone reading these reviews in order to determine whether or not they might enjoy watching this: Remember that the first rule of comedy consumption is DON'T TAKE THE COMEDIAN SERIOUSLY. If you don't heed this rule, you'll not only risk hindering your enjoyment of the show, you also might incur a world of butthurt for yourself. Ms. Handler does not hate men, not even straight white ones. It doesn't mean she shouldn't make fun of them. And when she *acts* like she's angry at them and hates them, it makes the bits even funnier. The only thing that I, as a straight white man, found offensive was when she said something like "I know you're not all like that." I already knew you knew, Chelsea. You didn't have to dumb it down for me. (And the ones who need it probably aren't going to heed it anyway.)

She actually winds up a bit about how stupid she is with a punchline beginning with: "There is one moon in the whole solar system". So not only did she not know the sun and the moon aren't the same thing, she also doesn't know what a solar system is, and doesn't even realize it. There is an estimated 200 moons in our solar system. There are 79 moons on Jupiter alone. Little children can tell you that. Is she really too stupid to tell a joke about how stupid she is? I'm not giving any spoilers away, it's the end of the bit netflix lets you hear from the thumbnail clip. This is worse than her asking Noel Fielding if he'd ever heard of Nicaragua. I don't know how she can be that challenged and have the nerve to call certain politicians stupid. I got as far as the jokes about abandoning her dog, which is true. It isn't funny, obviously.
