Chelsea Handler: Uganda Be Kidding Me Live

My god, this is terrible. Most of the people I know are funnier than her. Most in fact are way funnier. Why would I waste my time watching a woman perform who isn't in the least funny? She's making me cringe - for her. There's no brains behind this, that's the main issue. She's like the not-so-intelligent, obnoxious tipsy acquaintance I try to dodge at parties. The kind I feel embarrassed and a little sorry for. I admit I gave up pretty soon.

I really like Chelsea Handler - usually. But this special a hit and a miss.

Except when it comes to her dogs - and then she's always a hit!!

And then a miss on cats!! HA!

She is NOT at all PC and that's great too. She's a comedian. So I suppose a hit and a miss is a good thing.

I love Chelsea Handler and I find her absolutely hilarious! Laughed the whole way through.

First off, this isn't a stand-up performance. Chelsea Handler uses this "special" to promote her book by telling egotistical, conceited stories about her daily life. These stories will only be funny if you enjoy these three recurring punchlines:

1. Going out of your way to be rude to other people.

2. Spending obnoxious sums of money to demonstrate how rich you are.

3. Poo-poo and pee-pee.

I have seen and rated more than 100 stand-up specials. This is by far the worst special that I have ever seen. It was not funny, and I could not relate to a single thing she said throughout the entire show.

I'll simply use the title of this special to demonstrate Chelsea Handler's style of humor. The title of the show is "Uganda Be Kidding Me." As mentioned before, flaunting large sums of money is a recurring theme throughout the show. Uganda is one of the poorest countries in the world in which the average work day is 12 to 18 hours/day, and 38% of these workers live on less than $1.25/day... Not something I think is particularly funny.

I watched this and didn't laugh once. I did feel like there is a laugh track. Her jokes are stale and basically she just complains the entire time about how everyone is stupid. Gets old fast. I don't understand how/why people find this woman funny. I watched her e show every so often and never found it funny. I also don't understand why she walked away from her show, wants to take a full year off, then return to Netflix for a interview show. Not many people know who she is so fading away for a year won't help. I hope she gets better and tries a real stand up tour-not a fake one with a laugh track. We will see what happens in about 8 months.
