    So many jokes, so many of the same from you tube

    If you have watched Mateo lane on you tube. You will find all the same jokes on this specials he goes on a international tour talking about so many place:, so many things , so many cities and dropping so many names per minute you will find yourself bit overwhelmed with so much information. He is like your gay best friend who talked about so many things in under 10 Minutes that you kinda forget about what you were talking in the first place. You know, that gay friend that speaks and speaks like he has HDHD and he is on molly at the same time, overtaking just race talking . You will find that in the first 10 minutes he already name guiseppe, Pinocchio, nana, and even Mariah Carey. It's like he is on a race (with himself) to tell you all about his many trip and funny things he found along the way.

    If you have seems his other specials and his YouTube clips. You have seen it all. The jokes are all the same : Giuseppe in Italy, the straight guy at the gym , the gay buildings in Amsterdam, the lizzy McGuire and the Vespa, he explains he is Mexican and speaks like Mario.

    This show is is basically a compilation of all his jokes. It's a cute introduction to friends who don't k ow who Mateo is... but if you are gay, you probably already seen him on YouTube and listened to these jokes already.

    He does recognize his shows don't have a thru line but it's mostly a series of many jokes , many locations and many people. An enjoyable show, but it's hard to laugh when you already heard the jokes before . It's a cute dejavu for many of us, and a nice introduction for a new audience. It's Mateo 101 in a nutshell.

    Not for me

    Imagine Jack from Will & Grace on speed, but meaner and cruder. That is Matteo's MO, and if that appeals to you, go for it.

    I do not understand 'humour' that just berates everyone with insults, or shares stories of how they have been hateful or rude to non-gay people and expect me to laugh.

    He is not someone I would want to meet in real life, so it's a no from me.
