Bert Kreischer: Razzle Dazzle

I was expecting an overworked special since everyone has had to wait 3 years to put out new stuff.

Yes there are his "clichés", or is "Bertisms" but it's well constructed and funny.

I know he is 50 and a comedian for a long time but what angers me about Bert is that deep down he has what it takes to became a worldwide famous comedian, an household name, and even though he is extremelly famoun in the US, he falls short in the rest of the world due to playing too much into his "frat boy" personna.

That's his identity, sure. But he should grow with it and the humour is still "I drink, my wife's a redneck, my kids are dumb"

Overall it's still a pretty funny special that very much exceeded my expectations, well done Bart!

I hate to give this such a poor review because I'm genuinely a fan of Bert's. To me it this special was lots of recycled stories that were maybe a bit better polished. Only two jokes I hadn't heard before.

The first 1/3rd of the special Bert talked so fast and was out of breath, seemed nervous, he eventually settles in to a rhythm.

I've been following Bert since before his Travel Channel days, I have to say his comedy has suffered in recent years in the sense that I think his creativity is spread too thin, between podcasting and film projects.

Also when a person is in the public eye as much as Bert it's not as much of a "treat" to hear stories from the podcasts or his stand up 2 years ago. Too much exposure is a real thing.

I hate to use this example but look at Dave Chappelle, you don't see him but maybe once every month or two and it's exciting because he's having experiences and people want to hear about what he's been up to.

People know what Bert had for lunch last Saturday and how many drinks he had, he needs less exposure to be better at stand up.

Comedy is dead in this society and this is a good representation of this. Cancel culture and political correctness has taken over every aspect of this business and it's shown in this special. Big fan of Bert from the beginning but these jokes and stories are very unlike him. He was always the funny, immature, fat alcoholic with great stories but now it's more of a careful wordplay to not get in trouble with anyone. I would laugh uncontrollably at his old specials and this one would crack a smile out of me here and there. It wasn't unfunny, just unlike him. It's hard to see great comedians such as bert being blocked by norms forced into society.

Big big fan of Bert's I've seen all of his specials, he's a great podcaster and comedian but I was not a fan of this special, I really felt like he just wasn't ready to do this special. A lot of recycled jokes, not a whole lot of creativity or original stuff. I hate to leave this but it didn't get me going like his last specials. I think he should have waited another year to polish his jokes or come up with some new material. Bert feels the need to rush into releasing a special right away. The first 20 minutes he was sprinting through all these mediocre jokes I've heard several times from other comedians. I could go on but watch it for yourself, personally not for me. To each it's own.

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.
