Hasan Minhaj: The King's Jester

1. Hasan Minhaj is one of my favorite comedians and I'm glad he's coming back for more after Netflix cancelled Patriot Act. A non-stop laughfest with a near flawless delivery and Hasan's signature captivating personality.

I dont know how much of what he was saying is true... if it is, then damn bro im sorry ... if not.. then it was just making me sad for you... i kept on watching not because i know you can be funny ... but because i felt pity for you... and it was just making me sad.. if i watch a stand up.. then i want to be laughing.. but with this ... the bits that made me laugh where overshadowed by all the sad stuff.. even at some points i felt there were the 'laugh at anything person' sprinkled all over...

make me feel like you are only good at comedy when someone else is writing stuff for you to say on screen. U were awesome in patriot act... but this was just like... well let me say it like this.. it was like i was the plane going into the tower and this is what it felt like.

I didn't think Hasan could be more annoying than his Jeopardy appearance, but this special is worse. Hasan yells, and yells, and yells. He thinks if he yells loud enough then he'll reach the funny decibel. He doesn't. The crowd doesn't laugh much, they just cheer when he gets loud. The material is basic. Family stuff, Indian stuff, and a list of famous people he pissed off while clout chasing. Hasan is cocky, yet insecure. He talks a lot, but says little. He has energy, but not funny energy. It's the same energy he brought to Jeopardy, where they called him the most annoying contestant ever. That perfectly describes him on this special.

The special was alright. Somewhat entertaining but breaks down to him being a dangerous clout chaser who had to stop because he has a wife and kids now and she wants him to be less dangerous or something. Really trying to post W's and ending up mostly L's. Trying to take credit for speaking truth to power and getting push back but it was mostly toothless and he received regular hate mail. Some of it was funny but not much. I'm giving it a 5 because he did it all in his regular style of comedy and storytelling so he was true to form. It felt a lot like cover for his show getting canceled too. 5 stars.

My first exposure to this comedian -- at the first 5 minutes I thought this special was a bit crude with the infertility jokes. But then, I saw it was talking about his real-life experiences, with him mentioning his daughter.

Each mention of Hasan's increasingly wacky stories made me laugh more. First, a wheeze; then, a chuckle; then, full-on belly laughing! You should also know as he is telling his biography, you get some insights on how the American governmental/economic system works from the perspective of an immigrant.

The sex jokes at the middle and end of the special were a bit uncomfortable, but I saw that was the point. The occasional call-backs to Hindi-Urdu were also fun, even as someone who barely can use the language.
