Pete Davidson: SMD

Aside from being a generic liberal clueless boy trying to pander and make "statements" in other media, his specials are actually funny. Especially his earlier ones, but this one is worth watching as well. He's not super original or anything but it's better than Netflix's usual roaster of comedy specials.

Eventhough he's clearly your average upper-middle class liberal lucky enough to be born with all the privilege of living in a first world country and a rich city full of opportunity, while complaining about it on SNL, he's still somehow kind of relate-able, charming and funny on the special. Worth seeing. Hope he improves his character and does even funnier stuff later on.

Well crafted jokes and well delivered. This stand up is better than most of the material he is allowed to do on Saturday Night Live. I laughed a lot. And Pete shows himself to be a brave and endearing fellow.

stand up comics live in a cozy little bubble of entertaining mainly upper class urban elites who will laugh at anything during their shows. The comedy culture in India is sustained by champagne liberals and comedians unsurprisingly pander to the prevailing global liberal talking points. Vir Das is no different. Coming to this special, the continual switch from New York to Delhi was annoying and as expected it was littered with PC liberal talking points. It would have turned out better if he pandered to a single audience possibly the Indian one where he would at least get a few laughs.

Whoever edited the version that is on Paramount Plus needs to be fired. The transitions were terrible. Fade the laughs and cut to next joke instead of just cutting straight to it. Crowd will be laughing then cut to Pete dead silence.

This guy is fantastic. He's brutally honest and hilarious. I don't get the one star reviews.
