Sarah Cooper: Everything's Fine

Have you ever wondered what they were thinking when they watched the takes during production? It seems they didn't, as surely they wouldn't have gone on. I would ask for those 50 minutes of my life back, but the whole year has been a total loss anyway.

A lot of people are saying Sarah Cooper is very funny, folks. A lot of people. I wish I could tell you how many. It's a very big number. Probably the biggest number since Abraham Lincoln. Listen, I know all about big numbers. I really do. My uncle was a nuclear astronaut. I have big, burly men, truck drivers, come up to me all the time, tears streaming down their faces, asking me if that was really Helen Mirren and Aubrey Plaza. And I tell them, yes, yes, it was. And only I could tell them that. Obama never did. Only me, folks. Only me.

Funny and weird with really amazing celebrity cameos. Really good (unless you're a trump fan)

Full disclosure, I am an independent who does not like Trump and think making fun of him is totally ok and should be done. However, I am first and foremost a comedy fan. Sarah Cooper is not funny. This special is not funny. It is cringe central. I gave it 1/10 because she made a name for herself without having any talent. She is paraded around and written about like there is no tomorrow but the comedy is non-existent. Just because someone is making fun of someone you despise does not mean you can sacrifice quality.

The fact that there was so discernible plot with this fictionalized version of Sarah Cooper made this really difficult to watch. The cameos were mostly hit or miss, and felt gratuitous and not well thought-out. Sarah's bit with Helen Mirren was IMPECCABLE and the reason why I rated this so high. The special is worth watching just for that bit and how perfectly unsettling it is.
