Pete Davidson Presents: The Best Friends

My guess is that all of Pete's friends came here after the show and reviewed themselves. Coz that thing was trash! The "jokes" were flat. Everything Pete said was based on Kanye. Twitter has better jokes

I didn't laugh not even once!

Pete Davidson is not funny. He's a guy describing his life in a somewhat self-depreciating way. That's his entire act. This formula only works for talented comedians. Read that again.

Pete's set was only 10 minutes of the 50+ in this show, and didn't really have any jokes to speak of. I shudder to think how much he was paid for those 10 minutes. That's why you're going down the tubes, Netflix!

Pete spent his time whining about his "terrible" life and all the "terrible" things that have happened to him, like falling backwards into fame and being on a nationally televised comedic show for 8 years despite having no comedic talent to speak of.

Because Pete knows he isn't funny, and his "team" knows this, this Netflix special is mostly an attempt at deflection.

The "deflection" actually sort of works, as after his 10 minute performance ends, Pete brings in other "comedians" who are so bad at their career choice that Pete seems brilliant by comparison.

Pop culture, Hollywood: Please stop pretending we should care about Pete. He's really not funny.

Pete Davidson has sharpened his skills as a stand up, or maybe it was the short set, but he was very good. His personal reflections and honesty were very on point and self-effacing. The remaining comedians was a mixed bag. Some were very funny, others not so much. The comedian with the routine about the Barber Shop is one to watch. He was very, very good. I have to confess I am NOT a fan of showcases so I may not be the best person to review one.

So-so at best. It was better than the Amy Schumer presents one on Netflix but that isn't saying much. I'd say skip this one. It's short but even still it isn't worth the time.

Very solid group of comedians I hadn't heard except for the last one and the country music in the beginning was weird. Pete has def improved as well. MGK killed it as always.
