Gabriel Iglesias: Legend of Fluffy

I don't know if you remember the energy and happiness Fluffy used to spread by performing a decade ago. How he could imitate high pitched voices and describle hilarious situations with his perfect storytelling skills. I don't see that guy anymore! He used to be really funny and this... is not funny at all. In this special, people cheer and laugh at every unrelatable sentence which makes it annoying at some point. The performance is without any soul and feels just like an old guy telling his boring memories in a bar. My take might be due to the sake of nostalgia but I have a feeling that fluffy went through so much and couldn't recover from it.

Gabriel Iglesias used to make me laugh like no other. His first special I've watched time and time again and I could still laugh so hard. I'm crying. The last few specials are so pandering and lame that this one I barely got through. The jokes are old, the setup goes nowhere. He rambles on and on and has all these inspirational things to say, but nothing is laugh worthy. He reminds me of the washed up comedians you see In Vegas you can see for $25 and a drink you have to buy. This special was that bad. Super nice guy, and I still like him, but either get it together or retire. Don't go out like this.

Ever since ~2010, it seems like Fluffy hit his peak and has been riding that success ever since. His newer specials don't really seem that funny. But for some reason I keep finding myself watching each new one he comes out with.

Say what you will about Fluffy's newer material... it's not as funny, there aren't as many sound effects, there aren't really any jokes that you take with you after the special. But the guy is just such a damn good storyteller that you keep coming back for more!

Fluffy has you on the edge of a seat this entire special. It's truly amazing to be apart of! You know what he's telling you isn't going to be that amazing, but he finds a way with every story he tells you to make it engaging and worthwhile - to keep you paying attention the entire time. It's captivating. It's mesmerizing. It's truly something to behold.

If you're looking for a great comedian, watch his older material... if you're looking for one of the greatest storytellers of our generation, you've got it right here!

The show was mostly about him giving a long story about him, and just mentioning over an over again how he has been a comedian for a long time! The jokes were not so very funny. I tried to catch myself laughing, but that only happened when he said the joke about the old couples!

If you watched any of his earlier shows you'll know how funny he was back then! I've seen over 5 of his shows, and they were super hilarious, cracking joke after another, where you need to catch your breath sometimes .. but not this one!

The cherry on the top was that there was no end joke that would take you back to the top of the first joke he told! Ooh wait, there was no first joke!

Fluffy has less flair than usual here wirh a nostalgic take and lots of talking. A few of the jokes are hilarious and some voice imitations on point but many are neutral, flat or predictable. Still, the charisma and craft is there. The writing could have simply been better and tighter.

A bit too much about the past or jokes too specific to Florida. The best part is the long house robbery and gun salesman with a few oyher highlights and laughs.

The advice about being grateful to simply be alivr is well placed although the reat is hardly happiness therapy. Some commenters complain it is too much of a Ted Talk and he mentions it in the show. I have nothing against Ted Talks and some are even quit funny, entertaining and informative. The problem here is that amazing comedians or comedic routine would make these points with humour and also mostly better punchlines.

The show also did not end on a high point and could have given more or be better edited. Still worth a watch for aome laughs.
