Chelsea Handler: Revolution

I used to love Chelsea on her talk shows. Then she turned too political and everything went downhill. Her idea of a joke is telling her girlfriends to get abortions or trashing straight white men. She literally opened a segment of her show saying let's talk about straight white men. It's never ok to trash someone because of their sexuality or race. Can you imagine if someone said let's trash gay black men?!?! Her stand up shows are not funny, she was more suited for talk shows. Her story lines are not funny. I'm done with her, I give up. I guess I've grown a lot on what I consider funny and she's still acting like a 12 year old.

She actually winds up a bit about how stupid she is with a punchline beginning with: "There is one moon in the whole solar system". So not only did she not know the sun and the moon aren't the same thing, she also doesn't know what a solar system is, and doesn't even realize it. There is an estimated 200 moons in our solar system. There are 79 moons on Jupiter alone. Little children can tell you that. Is she really too stupid to tell a joke about how stupid she is? I'm not giving any spoilers away, it's the end of the bit netflix lets you hear from the thumbnail clip. This is worse than her asking Noel Fielding if he'd ever heard of Nicaragua. I don't know how she can be that challenged and have the nerve to call certain politicians stupid. I got as far as the jokes about abandoning her dog, which is true. It isn't funny, obviously.

I used to think Chelsea was great. I watched her show every week and she was edgy and hilarious. Then come November 2016 and it was like someone flicked a switch and turned off the funny.

Everything I've seen since then was cringe, something was broken, her last special i lasted 15 mins before i turned it off. But now, it seems like she has found it again!

The first 40 minutes of this special is great! If she had ended it there, it would be an 8/10. At about 55 minutes it got boring enough for me to venture to imdb to see what kind of response it had. The 5.9 convinced me to bail on it, that score made it seem like it wasnt going to get any better. If you're going to put out a 76min special you better have a track record of excellence and a performance that entraps the audience for the first 60 mins at least.

I watched Sam Morril's special right before this so maybe my expectations were a little too high, but i'm bailing at 55mins and maybe i'll watch the rest sometime, maybe i wont.

Well I'm just done reading all the reviews for this stand-up comedy and my conclusion is that there are a lot of never satisfied people, with a questionable sense of humor, just people that like to complain about everything. Okay Chelsea Handler is probably not the best friend of white males, but really I'm a middle-aged white man and I can laugh with her jokes. I just wished peope would not be offended all the time. It's like you can not say anything anymore nowadays, you will always offend somebody. I just don't care about things like that, you can't offend me with words nor jokes. I thought her show was funny, for sure the part about kids, a point that I can only agree with her, being childless is just the best thing in the world. In short, people should try not to take everything so seriously, certainly not with stand-up comedies. Humour is the last thing where you can say anything you want and get away with it, well almost...

My girlfriend picked this to watch so we watched. So bad. Is there a dumber human being alive today? The good news, my girlfriend will never want to watch her again lol She's cured of ever needing to learn more about the world's dumbest person. Actually asked my if she had some form of illness (mental) If you actually enjoy her, we just have different views on humor. I liked comedians before they became so smug, so F you if you don't agree 100% with their agenda. Why does comedy need an agenda? Why can we laugh at some people but not others?

Take me back to when everyone and everything was on the table. I've never been offended by a joke. But she doesn't tell jokes, she makes statement based on nothing and it's just not funny at all. Comedy, real comedy is dead.
