Nick Kroll: Little Big Boy

From the start - you get the biggest red flag when you're watching a comedian on Netflix - fake audience laughter that cuts and loops, clearly edited.

Then he proceeds to suddenly tell the most unfunny, generic, lame "boy girl party" story that ends with a boomer joke that's as bad as something taken out of Jeff Foxworthy's terrible special.

I'm really surprised, because Nick Kroll was pretty funny on, say, roasts. I expected him to have a strong special, but this is the most generic, bland... again, Jeff Foxworthy-like cringey, unfunny special.

"I was pantsed in front of a girl by another girl, what a beta I must be hahahahaha"- this is how the special starts and unfortunately it doesn't get any less cringey as it goes on.

I have watched this with three other adults, and we all laughed at different moments. The occasional thing that didn't land for me delighted my friends, and vice versa. I laughed so hard I started wheezing at a few moments, and I felt engaged by everything other than the poop humor (which again, really seemed to tickle some others). His ability to laugh at himself and speak honestly about his masculinity (what parts of it fit for him, and the parts that don't) was both funny and refreshing. He has good insight, and I would've watched hours more. Keep it comin', Nick! Thanks for the laughs, in this and in all of your other work.

This standup on Netflix is... hard to explain. It is sometimes boring, but when it is funny... you laugh so much! I feel like maybe I just wasn't feeling the vibe, so maybe I just didn't absorb it enough. But there were a few bits that cracked me up hard.

My favorite one was the one about how we are always so mean to our moms 😂 There is no one I love more than my mom but, as Nick says, there is no one I have a shorter fuse for than my beloved mom.

Besides that bit, there are a few other ones that are funny like the first boy-girl party and the Italy trip one, and some of them were just plain boring to me like the Karate one.

He's extremely talented and intelligent, he's brought us a metric ton of content over the years and he produces yet another metric ton of (usually) great films - however, and maybe this is too subjective, but when a 'stand-up' gets up on stage and presents us with anecdotes of thier lives - is it jokes? Is it even funny? To me its scarcely entertaining, and THEN to do so, to open with such a tired troupe of diarrhea jokes and how we all walk with soiled pants - meh! Just meh Nick - for the record, the walk isn't funny and no matter how many times it's portrayed on stage it seems to become less so - go figure?!

Writing this as i'm watching it for the 5th time, no i'm not joking. This special never gets old and the references are so relatable. My family will nod like the sensai nod to each other, i saw peach instead of peace, we make the poop jokes. It isn't too long which is nice, so it's perfect for a fun rewatch. I'm surprised by the low rating to be quite honest! I understand some of it is sentimental about his kid, but you can tell how passionate he is about his kid. Compared to other comedians, i feel like society can actually relate to this special. He isn't making himself on a pedestal, in fact he feels more human after watching!
