What a wonderful celebration. It is a treat to see so many talented black comedians having a good time and just being themselves. They cursed, cracked jokes, reminisced, and laughed their asses off. Def Comedy Jam deserves the respect for bringing the rawness form of black comic to the mainstream. As an audience, I admire the bond and the love within the black community.
In his latest special for Netflix, Seinfeld returns to the Comic Strip to give the audience a glimpse of how he got his start. His materials are simple and lighthearted yet the details and nuances are what make him a comedian’s comedian. This is my first time seeing Seinfeld doing his standup and I enjoyed his writing.
“Alright. I can’t take it,” Marc Maron began his new Netflix special, “I don’t know what’s he gonna do next. An the people who voted for him don’t know what’s he gonna do next.” He spent about 10 minutes on Trump then moved on to being old and letting go. He kept it light and entertaining. An enjoyable watch.
Without Agent Steve Murphy, played by Boyd Holbrook, Agent Javier Peña, played by Pedro Pascal, takes over the narration and continues his new mission to takedown the Cali Cartel. Season 3 is laced with cocaine, murder, cash, sex, power, and corruption. If you liked the first two seasons, you’ll love the third one. Can’t wait for season 4.
In her latest Netflix special, Silverman takes her humor to dark places. From life starts with sperms to dog crucifixion to Jesus cums on my back to Angelina-Jolie lips to hooks (I won’t spoil this one for you), Silverman brilliantly exercises her freedom of expression. A must-watch.
Morgan is back after a serious car crash. He jokes about beating his dick all day at the hospital because it was the only part of his body that worked. On marriage, he encourages couples to have sex and keep it hot. Otherwise, they just become roommates. Morgan dresses like a pimp and talks like one. If you can get past the crassness, you’ll enjoy his humors.
In his new Netflix special, Indian-American Minhaj tells his personal stories of growing up as a son of immigrants and dealing with racism. With charismatic, charm, and confident, his message delivered: “Once you go brown. You better lock that shit down.”
The comic’s comic Macdonald talks about suicide, getting old, and his nuanced interpretation of words such as ID, metaphor, and beauty. His attention to the details, particularly on his word choices, makes his latest special fun and fascinating to watch.
Pocket pussy? Really? I didn’t know it was a thing until I watched Kevin Hart’s record-breaking sold-out performance in Philadelphia. Although his materials aren’t sophisticated or thoughtful, his delivery is entertaining.
Whether talking about his Filipino mother, doting parenting approach, or witnessing a birth of a child, Koy keeps his materials on the lighter side. It’s more entertaining than making you think. I haven’t seem his previous works, but the race jokes might get worn out if he keeps repeating them.
