I must say I'm surprised by the negativity of the other reviews here. I found this to be a delight. When he started on trump I did think, Oh no this is going to be rubbish, but his take is just delightfully silly. Literally the only funny trump bit I've ever heard.I've watched it several times. It's that good. Possibly my favourite comedy special ever.
I'll be honest, I couldn't finish this. I'm a huge Dana Carvey fan and while his comic timing is still there the material he's working with is garbage. First off, he starts right into the events surrounding the election, and maybe it's because I first saw it months later but I can't imagine people not just being so impossibly sick of hearing about Trump, Hillary, and Bernie. I know I am. And even if that weren't the case, most of that bit had already been heard almost verbatim on his appearances on talk shows over the year. Then, after that, he ostensibly goes into what it's like being a father with teenagers but it's just all the same old stereotypical digs and ripping on millennials... another subject that I (and I imagine/hope many others) am long past sick of hearing about. I just turned it off at that point.This is little more than a stand-up comedy version of the "Old Man Yells at Cloud" joke from the Simpsons, and it's such a shame to hear from someone as talented as Dana Carvey. As someone who still thinks his Critics' Choice show from 20 years ago is still brilliant, this is just depressing to watch.
This was the worst stand-up comedy i have ever seen.I don't even know man who talk like he does, just gross.The first seven minutes where so awful, i thought about stop watching it but i wanted stay open minded and give his a fair chance since it's the first time i've seen a special from his.
And some of the jokes seemed all too familiar to my wife and I only very poorly half told. has done some funny things, at least her writing staff has on his show. Like finger bangers! But this format and presentation was a total bomb. Would say watch for its awfulness, but it isn't even worth it for that. STAY AWAY, find something better to do. Weed your lawn, knit a scarf, bake some pastries, stare at the water flushing in your toilet bowl. Anything is better time spent than watching this mish mash of boring raunch.
