13414905, As a non-Kevin Hart Fan Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Mon Nov-30-20 12:17 PM
I found it funny at times but no worst or less than his other specials I've caught a little bit of.
Not sure what the talk about it being somehow less funny this his usual work.
My theory is that a lot of people who don't watch him usually caught him for the first time because of how Netflix promoted it and on seeing it for the first time have a hard time understanding how he is so big.

13414909, theres a clip of his podcast on youtube Posted by Reeq, Mon Nov-30-20 12:25 PM
wheres hes talking to his boys and he mistakenly refers to the title of his new special as the title of his documentary from a few months. all this shit is even running together in *his* head lol.
dude is on autopilot and just pumping out formulaic content at this point and its all the same shit.
every song sound like drake featuring drake (c) drake

13414911, I've seen every single one... Posted by Dstl1, Mon Nov-30-20 12:26 PM
and most of his movies. I would consider myself a fan of his stuff, so I'm definitely not in the "kevin hart try too hard" camp. This was just...damn near insufferable.
|
13414906, it was garbage. Posted by Reeq, Mon Nov-30-20 12:17 PM
the worst part is dude is in such a safe and non threatening lane that he felt the need to do that pussy ass dream sequence shit to provide cover for some lame ass jokes that he thought might get him canceled. he really thought calling his daughter a hoe was pushing the envelope lol. shit was not provocative fam.

13414912, yep, yep....dude hedged against his own material Posted by Dstl1, Mon Nov-30-20 12:28 PM

13414910, took 45 minutes Posted by infin8, Mon Nov-30-20 12:25 PM
for him to warm up.
|
13414913, by then it was over.... Posted by Dstl1, Mon Nov-30-20 12:29 PM
it's kinda bad when you can remember the one joke that made you laugh. When he was like...his wife said lets go out and get fucked up, even after he told her the effect it had on him..."bitch, I just described a stroke".

13414918, i only remember 7 different cheeses, which was cute lol Posted by Damali, Mon Nov-30-20 12:44 PM

13414919, my sons loved it as they're big fans of his Posted by Damali, Mon Nov-30-20 12:46 PM

13414923, What happens when a comic can't work out material Posted by CIPHA, Mon Nov-30-20 12:54 PM
and also when a comic who works with a team of writers can't engage in their usual process (which, according to some, includes stealing other people's jokes, but I don't have a dog in that).
Deon Cole released like an hour of him working out material on youtube and it went way harder than Kev's special. You gotta get that stuff in front of real crowds to know if it works.

13414925, kev's my guy but this washed as hell Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Mon Nov-30-20 01:10 PM
he's past the standup grind. idk what anyone expects of him at this point unless he gets back on the circuit and starts getting the reps in again
|
13414927, I like it, it seems some folks are programmed to hate of Kevin... Posted by ThaTruth, Mon Nov-30-20 01:15 PM
I thought it was funny, he's been better but its 2020.
Chappelle put out that dud on SNL and people COPPED PLEAS for days
|
13414931, a 5 minute bomb vs an hour special bomb ain't the same Posted by CIPHA, Mon Nov-30-20 01:31 PM
(also I don't think Dave bombed)
|
13414947, Chappelle 'put out' a monologue? Posted by infin8, Mon Nov-30-20 03:18 PM
He (Kevin) had a 'bit' (and I'm being generous) about being able to skip the line at an amusement park because of who he is/wealth.
How was that funny? And he spent way too long on THAT.
every craft has its fundamentals, you can't get past that no matter how 'good' you think you are.

13414954, What was wrong with his monologue? Posted by Heinz, Mon Nov-30-20 03:48 PM

13414985, it seems you're programmed to juggle his low hanging balls. Posted by Damali, Mon Nov-30-20 10:44 PM

13414997, yes ma'am, you're right. Posted by ThaTruth, Tue Dec-01-20 09:12 AM

13414930, his stand-ups all kinda suck to me, so i'll probably skip it Posted by Mynoriti, Mon Nov-30-20 01:25 PM
i like KH. I'm happy for him, and i think he's a natural comedic actor, but i don't think i've ever mustered up more than a half-hearted chuckle for any of his stand up material.
it's all forgettable.
|
13414949, He seemed way to concerned with getting canceled. Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Mon Nov-30-20 03:20 PM
Like just tell the joke man and stop worrying about it.
Dave Chappelle tells jokes waaaay more offensive and it gets him an Emmy and a Mark Twain Award. Do you and live with it.
Or don't call your Special Zero Fucks Given.

13415101, he's too reliant on the machine, i'd be concerned too Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Tue Dec-01-20 04:01 PM

13414984, I turned it off after a few minutes Posted by spirit, Mon Nov-30-20 10:36 PM
I’ve watched and enjoyed several of his specials. This one was definitely not as funny. Maybe he will hear the negative feedback and it will inspire him to work harder on making the next one funnier.

13415091, he should've just stole these Posted by infin8, Tue Dec-01-20 02:57 PM

I haven't seen this in AGES....simple premises, simple jokes.
Dave made a show outta these tropes; KH's special was missing a lot of the comedy fundamentals (setups, callbacks) and the show suffered for that. I get the 'you want the OLD Kev, go watch my OLD shxt' - that's fine; but that doesn't excuse you from doing COMEDY. That shxt was an extended monologue for most of the show.

13415103, At some point I was wondering if it was canned laughter. Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Tue Dec-01-20 04:17 PM
Because a lot of what he said didn't have an actual "joke" it was him just saying something in a kind of funny voice or tone.

13415259, I think it was cuz everyone was masked Posted by Damali, Thu Dec-03-20 10:10 AM
and the room was not even close to full...there's no way their laughter would have sounded like that
