Hasan Minhaj: Off with His Head

Absolutely Disappointing. Reading the title and description, I was expecting him to deliver some kind of apology for the lies in his first Netflix special. If you don't remember, those lies were not jokes. The people he lied about had to face a lot of hate and bullying. Hasan shows no remorse for those lies, while he is sorry for expecting Ellen to pronounce his name correctly.

The quality of his comedy has clearly gone down. I chuckled only twice during the entire special. Not worth watching. I could clearly tell that many of the "laughs" in the show were fake. He somehow managed to offend every ethnicity.

Funny and insightful. Connected with me as an Indian who is somewhat familiar with US, history and it's cultural idiosyncrasies in this period. I laughed a lot and got a bit emotional.

To be completely honest was also a bit annoyed by the extremely loud and manic performance. I know most of the emotional core of this performance relies on convincing us of his manic problems, but it just too damn loud. Else it would've been 9/10 for me.

PS: Compelled to write the review by the surprise of such lowly rated reviews (1/2/.... I mean everyone in the audience seemed to genuinely have a great time. I understand that it does not bear the genius of rich wordplay or the brilliantly observant (but safe) situational comedy of Seinfeld or LD. Nor does it exhibit the sheer brilliance in jokes, craft and effortlessness of Louis C. K. or the Chris Rock of old but it's good and well worth the watch.

I have no idea why he got so many negative reviews that's why I felt compelled to write one review on IMDb to even out the playing field .I thought he was brilliant, intelligent, insightful, honest and most of all hysterical. And yes he is loud and throws around a stool, it's called dramatic effect. Extremely relevant and very relatable the issues he brings up, being a father, being a son and being an American. Thank you Hasan for once again pointing out what is obviously wrong witch your comical yet quick witted, sharp brilliance. I gave it a ten because I found absolutely no fault with the standup.

"Hasan Minhaj's *Off With His Head* isn't for everyone, and that's part of its charm. If you like your comedy bold and your tea strong, then you'll find a lot to savor here. Minhaj's energy can feel a bit intense, even overly rehearsed at times, but for fans, it's all part of his style-a mix of animated storytelling and hard-hitting punchlines. He doesn't shy away from digging into the intricacies of 'Beige-istan,' peeling back layers of what it means to be caught between cultures, and the truths he shares often sting as much as they entertain.

The show is cleverly crafted, with jokes and stories weaving seamlessly into each other, creating a narrative that's both deeply personal and widely relatable. Minhaj balances humor with vulnerability, addressing issues from identity and family to ambition and hypocrisy. While he toes the line between self-deprecating and self-aggrandizing, he ultimately lands on self-aware, giving the audience a fresh perspective on the immigrant experience.

For those willing to embrace his style, *Off With His Head* offers an insightful and unfiltered journey through Hasan's mind, one that may be too strong for some, in which case just don't watch it.

Hasan Minhaj has a serious case of Kevin Hart syndrome: thinking loud is funny. He screams at the top of his lungs while beating a stool within an inch of its life. He says his therapist calls him manic, which perfectly describes his stage presence. Hasan is all over the place in this special: yelling about immigrants, killing off the elderly, ignoring poor people. He even throws in a Kobe Bryant helicopter crash joke which changed the whole energy in the audience. He says mean things for shock value, which makes him come across as unlikable. Instead of wit, we get manic rambling and awkward audience interactions. Hasan does a lot of talking without saying anything; and no amount of manic screaming can save him. This special is awful.
