"Hasan Minhaj (Daily Show) - Homecoming Netflix Special"


  

          

Enjoyed the WHC dinner but this is even better.Not all comedy, a lot of stories about his life growing up and racism etc. But he ties it all together with comedy. Much better than I assumed it would be.

A comedian. A Mic. Thats all I need. If you do visual aids or want to do it differently do it like Collin Quinn did on his last special where you have a set almost like a play. THAT was done well. Kevin and Hasan had Power Point presentations where a lot of times it was used in a lazy way to set up the joke. Almost the broke version of Tosh3.0 style of here look at this and then let me comment on it. Meh.

I liked Hasan at the Correspondents Dinner but not here. His jokes were cliche lame versions of the typical race differences of growing up. He didn't do nothing new on the takes from any other minority comedian who touched on these subjects before. I also hated his delivery in it. Reminded me of the the "gym bro's" at my gym. His charm and looks will get him far, but ionno about his stand up.

i'm Canadian but my background is Pakistani and I could relate to a lot of what he was speaking about. our world views are very similar.

watched it on Saturday with a couple of friends and then again with my mom and younger cousin on Sunday. everyone loved it.

i'm glad it wasn't just the usual stand-up fare (a la Russell Peters and some other Desi comedians). instead we got a heartfelt story about his life, with jokes and serious moments balanced throughout

i didn't know much about him until the correspondent's dinner, but i am definitely rooting for the guy from here on

and woke up this morning to clips of the spelling bee

i cracked up when I saw the clip of ole girl's dad hugging her on stage

the key to happiness is not being rich;
it's doing something arduous and
creating something of value and then
being able to reflect on the fruits of your labor

I liked the story telling and use of the visual aids. I thought it was a great way to engage the crowd.

I'm sure hard core stand up fans are going to try and tear him down for it, but I really liked it.

Shout out to dude, the heart felt stories were cool to me and worked well.
