Ali Wong: Hard Knock Wife

I know men may or may not relate unless they are one of the white ones dating or married to an Asian women. As a woman, I thought it was funny and smart. Not a mother but can still relate as many of my friends have kids. Ali is a super talented writer, her insights on the Asian American culture, motherhood and being a partner are funny and reflects what people go through. Good for you , can't wait to see more. This was my first time seeing any of her stuff, now i'm going through the archives.

I enjoyed this special but it is not as good as Baby Cobra. The material is predictably about being a new mother. I laughed a couple of times but also cringed a few, especially when she shows her underwear. Her close to the bone material was much better in her 1st special and more awkward this time. She is very talented and I look forward to more specials.

I didn't watch her first show Baby Cobra yet but after watching Hard Knock Wife I will definitely watch every show of Ali Wong. I never heard of her, never saw her before, but now I surely won't forget about her. Ali Wong is marriage material, the kind of woman you want beside you for the rest of your life, she's goodlooking, funny, and seems like up for an adventure between the sheets. What else could you ask for? That said her show is just hilarious at times, her monologue about her pregnancy was very funny, and even though it seemed long on the same subject it still remained very entertaining, and that's because she has a perfect way to bring her comedy. Her jokes are well thought of, a bit dirty but who doesn't like that? Ali Wong? She has a new fan from now on.

Worth your time. Insightful, original, funny well written. AW always brings the heat.

Ali Wong is definitely talented, but her routine needs a bit of fine tuning. While some of her jokes are pretty good, most are just meh and her delivery needs work. She relies too heavily on changing her voice as part of the punchline, and it's more grating than humorous with repeat viewing, especially since she does it with almost every joke.

That being said, I would definitely recommend this special, and I hope to see more from her in the future.
