Bert Kreischer: Razzle Dazzle

This is so bad. It's not so much that this one prop pony(you take off your shirt, again, well done) is using rehashed jokes that were not funny in the first place, it's that instead of being edgy and hilarious like a Chappelle, Kreischer is just crude. It feels like he's trying to play to a frat house audience. None of the bits are even polished. Did he try this material out in clubs first? Were these just the jokes he used on his own tour? He should have done open mics instead to get proper feedback and he could see where the bits flatlined rather than going to the well of existing fans. I could not get over the feeling that this is the old guy at the wedding, who is drunk, and doesn't realize how loud he is, while prodding and pushing other guests who don't want to know him.

One of the best stand up performances I've watched in a while. Nothing against Chris Rock's new special, but I thought this was way better.

The show revolves around funny things that happens in his family life. I wouldn't recommend this to people that are offended by off color humor. Although I wouldn't recommend comedy in general to people that are easily offended.

Anybody that enjoys Burt Kreischer on podcasts will be thoroughly entertained. IMO Burt is starting to approach Bill Burr and Eddie Murphy territory as an all time great. He has a little ways to go yet, but the dude is killing it and deserves the shine.

I've always been more of a Tom Segura fan and have always felt Bert to be mildly funny, but this special is off the charts hilarious. Truly really great standup, I have not laughed this hard in a long long time. Bert deserves recognition for being a master of the art form at this point because this is his best work yet.

His delivery, transitions and almost all new material give the special room for him to spread his wings and get away from the (very funny) machine story. This special proves unequivocally that he is actually a legit standup act and not a one hit wonder. Also I love that he puts out fewer specials than saturating the market with one a year like a lot of other comedians. Well done Brent Chrysler.

Bert Kreischer is easily at the top of the index of least funny people relative to their fame. I don't want to say I despise Bert, because he seems genuine in a lot of ways outside of standup comedy, but this special is pretty terrible. My prejudices aside Bert against, Razzle Dazzle really feels like Bert phoned it in, reusing old jokes and harping on overexaggerated mediocrity of family story time. Normally I can stomach one of Bert's specials if I am pretty bored, but this was on another level that I could not finish it. Bert has done himself no favors if he believes this special while serve as pasturage for growing new fans. This special is a hard pass for me on a recommendation.

I watched with my girlfriend (who found it funny ) but I think this humour is probably suited for young adults. Nothing memorable in this special. Not bashing Bert; I am a fan of him. I hope we see some more sharper angles from him in the future ? One of the problems is a lot of people tune into his podcast with Tom, which is amazing . People eventually expect your comedy level to be more crisp and smoother as your podcast. It's kind of like watching your favourite baseball player hitting .300 and cranking 40 homers , and then the next season only hitting 20 (which is fine) but not to the level we expect.
