D.L. Hughley: Contrarian

I enjoyed most of this comedy special, D.L. Hughley has a playful and fun way to do stand-up, and I laughed a lot. Some curveballs,meaning it wasn't everything that was funny to me, but it was overall a very good show, and I recommend it :)

I made it 20 minutes of complaining about white people and throwing around in-funny used up political jokes before I had enough. No real original content, very disappointed.

I turned 45 last year. Listening to this even growing up in New Zealand in the 1980s was 80% the same experience. There were so many points of reference that totally was representative of my home life. The same type of mom. The similar types of experience as an elder sibling. The low rating only shows that those who watched it around the world did not experience what almost 50% of non-white kids experienced. Look at what Russell Peters talks about from the Indian POV, I am Ind0-Fijian Kiwi myself, so related with that . Anyway, it could be the R rated language for the low rating as well.

The Fix in which DL currently is on Nextflix is worth watching as well.

The show starts off with DL Hughley stating popular opinion after popular opinion to cheers and applause with a few light jokes sprinkled in to make sure people remember he is a comedian. I was hoping from the title that there would be some contrarianism, but it was just affirmation of consensus, and I gave up about halfway through of there being anything but lukewarm jokes that reaffirm commonly held beliefs.

It is an hour long special rehashing 2017 American news. I really can't find the jokes. Watch Raw, and Delirious instead, they hold up.
