Bert Kreischer: Razzle Dazzle

Big big fan of Bert's I've seen all of his specials, he's a great podcaster and comedian but I was not a fan of this special, I really felt like he just wasn't ready to do this special. A lot of recycled jokes, not a whole lot of creativity or original stuff. I hate to leave this but it didn't get me going like his last specials. I think he should have waited another year to polish his jokes or come up with some new material. Bert feels the need to rush into releasing a special right away. The first 20 minutes he was sprinting through all these mediocre jokes I've heard several times from other comedians. I could go on but watch it for yourself, personally not for me. To each it's own.

This is so bad. It's not so much that this one prop pony(you take off your shirt, again, well done) is using rehashed jokes that were not funny in the first place, it's that instead of being edgy and hilarious like a Chappelle, Kreischer is just crude. It feels like he's trying to play to a frat house audience. None of the bits are even polished. Did he try this material out in clubs first? Were these just the jokes he used on his own tour? He should have done open mics instead to get proper feedback and he could see where the bits flatlined rather than going to the well of existing fans. I could not get over the feeling that this is the old guy at the wedding, who is drunk, and doesn't realize how loud he is, while prodding and pushing other guests who don't want to know him.

One of the best stand up performances I've watched in a while. Nothing against Chris Rock's new special, but I thought this was way better.

The show revolves around funny things that happens in his family life. I wouldn't recommend this to people that are offended by off color humor. Although I wouldn't recommend comedy in general to people that are easily offended.

Anybody that enjoys Burt Kreischer on podcasts will be thoroughly entertained. IMO Burt is starting to approach Bill Burr and Eddie Murphy territory as an all time great. He has a little ways to go yet, but the dude is killing it and deserves the shine.

I watched with my girlfriend (who found it funny ) but I think this humour is probably suited for young adults. Nothing memorable in this special. Not bashing Bert; I am a fan of him. I hope we see some more sharper angles from him in the future ? One of the problems is a lot of people tune into his podcast with Tom, which is amazing . People eventually expect your comedy level to be more crisp and smoother as your podcast. It's kind of like watching your favourite baseball player hitting .300 and cranking 40 homers , and then the next season only hitting 20 (which is fine) but not to the level we expect.

Comedy is dead in this society and this is a good representation of this. Cancel culture and political correctness has taken over every aspect of this business and it's shown in this special. Big fan of Bert from the beginning but these jokes and stories are very unlike him. He was always the funny, immature, fat alcoholic with great stories but now it's more of a careful wordplay to not get in trouble with anyone. I would laugh uncontrollably at his old specials and this one would crack a smile out of me here and there. It wasn't unfunny, just unlike him. It's hard to see great comedians such as bert being blocked by norms forced into society.
