Finally! Something to Cleanse the Glut of Bad Stand Up Specials
Everyone is getting them now: the Hannah Gadsby special (and she has an equally unfunny one coming out soon), the girl from Broad City has an applause special... no actual laughs... just all applause. The annoying little guy from Workaholics. The most recent dud from Chris D'Elia. There's a lot of mediocre stuff out there right now. This is not part of that. Ignore the inane reviews that gripe about his delivery, or the guy who clearly dislikes Seinfeld and even says as much. This is a master of what he does and you can tell that a lot of thought goes into what he says, how he says it and the order that he says it in. The funny thing about the negative reviews - they're the same things said about George Carlin a few years after he became huge. And then were said about him again 5 years later. And would come up about every 5 years for the rest of his life. And looking back - those specials were gold as well. If you don't like Seinfeld, and especially if you DISLIKE him - then don't review it. I don't like shows for children, because I'm not a child so there's no reason for me to review it. I don't like shows like Big Bang Theory because I'm not an idiot that enjoys contrived rehashed jokes from 30 years ago - set to a painfully exaggerated laugh track. So there is no reason for me to review that deplorable show.
