Ilana Glazer: The Planet Is Burning

Had high hopes because broad city is so good. But I could only watch about 10 minutes of Ilana's standup. I'd never seen her as a standup before and after watching this I'm not sure if she's spent much time doing it.

There's no jokes. She just talks about how she hopes anyone born in the 70s would die soon and how she is failing to cope with the real world. All the audience worship her as she talks about herself in the third person. It's embarrassingly lacking of talent and the bigotry is right at the fore. Really disappointing.

Sorry to be negative here. I'm a huge Broad City fan and lover of standup comedy but this is downright cringeworthy. Hard to watch.

At first I thought there was something wrong with *me* because I wasn't laughing. Before I knew it I'd turned away to, like, fold laundry while I listened. It never got funnier; in fact it never got funny. You can be woke or not, be feminist or post-millennial or blasé or blue or observational or slapstick a damn mime as long as you're funny. If you're not funny -- then you're doing it wrong.

I think she needs Abby. Broad city is pretty great, but based on this. I don't think Ilana has been doing standup very long. She has charisma but the writing is super weak. She should Stick to surreal absurdist type stuff it's def her strong point. I get it, discrimination sucks, and there are hateful people in the world. I'm so tired of hearing about the same 5 woke topics, beyond that, at this point it's simply lazy and over safe. I can't wait for the first comic or writer to evolve us past this pretend to be woke to appease/entertain/ market to a bunch of people who pretend to hate capitalism.
