Andrew Santino: Cheeseburger

I've seen Santino live several times. He's absolutely killed it when I've seen him. This, however... I have no idea what this is. This feels like the pumpkin spice latte of comedy specials. Generic, bland, about as "basic" as comedy can get. At not one point does this special ever pick up and grab you. Probably be more effective as background noise while you're doing housework than anything else. I feel like he has reached that level where he has attained some level of success, and now he thinks he doesn't have to try hard anymore. It's very clear in his writing and execution. Unfortunate when comics go this route.

Cheeto Santino has created not just one of the greatest closing bits ever but what I think of in the same way I do of Gary Gulman's bit about the documentary he watched about the people that shortened the State's names - and has a great similarity.

Ignore the review that does the tired, cliche copout of 'What happened to Andrew Santino?' routine. There's always someone that feels the need to dole out a 1-star review just for the sake of being that way. They are humorless and should stick to the reality show they review and like.

The entire special is very funny and is on the level that Santino always gives but once he begins talking about his dog, then the ride gets VERY fun and he makes a really great point, which he alluded to earlier.

Stumbling upon the 2023 stand-up comedy special "Andrew Santino: Cheeseburger" while perusing through the Netflix catalogue of stand-up comedy, I opted to sit down and watch this on account of never having heard about comedian Andrew Santino before. So of course I wanted to check out his style of comedy.

While this 2023 show wasn't exactly a laugh riot for me, I have to say that I was adequately entertained throughout the course of the 58 minutes that the show ran for. Andrew Santino does have some good contents in his material and there are some genuinely funny jokes here and there.

And I found that "Andrew Santino: Cheeseburger" was suitable for a single viewing if you enjoy comedy. This is, however, not a show that will make it to my screen a second time, as I just wasn't all that impressed or brought to an abundance of laughs.

Andrew Santino feels naturally at home on the stage and in the stage light, and the definitely counts for something. He has a good charisma on the stage and his is good at setting up his jokes and delivering the punchlines.

Adequately entertaining, my rating of "Andrew Santino: Cheeseburger" lands on a five out of ten stars.

I have been watching Andrew santino on podcasts for 3 years now, bad friends and his podcast whiskey ginger. If you like him on the podcast you will love this special. He is thought provoking, realistic and the vulgar santino we have all come to love. I feel like stand up comedy is an extension into peoples lives behind the camera and how wr all can relate to particular situstions or thoughts we have thst the comedian vocalizes, he nails that dycotomy. He never lets a joke run dry and hits his delivery on every punch line. I highly recommend the special and his podcadts, hes a creative genius and seems like a dude you could defintely drink whiskey and play some pool with.

Massive Santino fan here. Watching this just doesn't make me laugh the way his pods do. Of course stand up is a whole different ballgame than podcasting. Maybe there is a widening between funny podcasters vs funny stand up comics going on. Santino's a funny guy but I realized watching this he's just better off script than on script. That's not a bad thing. It's just a new trend in comedy. Still have huge respect for him. Lots of great jokes here (don't let the offended Trump fans on the thread fool you). It may be a bit watered down for Netflix, but I think I'll be sticking to the podcasts moving forward.
