Hasan Minhaj: Off with His Head

Who is giving this a 1 and why?? This guy is so funny and smart. Every line, every insight... funny, engaging. He manages to make very controversial points, without offending anyone.

Would love to know who is dissing this and why. Does he hit a nerve on racial subjects? I'm so confused that anyone could find him offensive.

I love all the insights on cultural issues.

I was engaged and entertained from beginning to end

The dog section is so spot on and funny.

Just guessing that there are conservatives offended with the swearing?

Audience is filled with highly entertained, engaged people... wish some of them would leave a review.

Hassan represents the experience of the Indian people in the West to a T.

Funny, fresh and consistent, is what you get with Hassan. I normally do not write reviews, but I felt obliged to do so in this case, because of the few 1 star reviews.

The only explanation I have for them is that perhaps some of the audiences could not completely relate with Hassan's experiences. I on the other hand found myself laughing and nodding along. It is probably not as hard hitting as some of his earlier material, but it is still in typical Hassan Minhaj style special.

So give it a chance and keep an open mind.

Hasan Minhaj has a serious case of Kevin Hart syndrome: thinking loud is funny. He screams at the top of his lungs while beating a stool within an inch of its life. He says his therapist calls him manic, which perfectly describes his stage presence. Hasan is all over the place in this special: yelling about immigrants, killing off the elderly, ignoring poor people. He even throws in a Kobe Bryant helicopter crash joke which changed the whole energy in the audience. He says mean things for shock value, which makes him come across as unlikable. Instead of wit, we get manic rambling and awkward audience interactions. Hasan does a lot of talking without saying anything; and no amount of manic screaming can save him. This special is awful.

"Hasan Minhaj's *Off With His Head* isn't for everyone, and that's part of its charm. If you like your comedy bold and your tea strong, then you'll find a lot to savor here. Minhaj's energy can feel a bit intense, even overly rehearsed at times, but for fans, it's all part of his style-a mix of animated storytelling and hard-hitting punchlines. He doesn't shy away from digging into the intricacies of 'Beige-istan,' peeling back layers of what it means to be caught between cultures, and the truths he shares often sting as much as they entertain.

The show is cleverly crafted, with jokes and stories weaving seamlessly into each other, creating a narrative that's both deeply personal and widely relatable. Minhaj balances humor with vulnerability, addressing issues from identity and family to ambition and hypocrisy. While he toes the line between self-deprecating and self-aggrandizing, he ultimately lands on self-aware, giving the audience a fresh perspective on the immigrant experience.

For those willing to embrace his style, *Off With His Head* offers an insightful and unfiltered journey through Hasan's mind, one that may be too strong for some, in which case just don't watch it.

I have no idea why he got so many negative reviews that's why I felt compelled to write one review on IMDb to even out the playing field .I thought he was brilliant, intelligent, insightful, honest and most of all hysterical. And yes he is loud and throws around a stool, it's called dramatic effect. Extremely relevant and very relatable the issues he brings up, being a father, being a son and being an American. Thank you Hasan for once again pointing out what is obviously wrong witch your comical yet quick witted, sharp brilliance. I gave it a ten because I found absolutely no fault with the standup.
