Christina P: Genes da Mãe

Only 10's are from YMH fans. But unbiased standup fans will not like this. It's just some tired ass jokes that I've heard from women like her over and over again. Get for them Segura coat tails and do something else, because sweet Jesus. Did anyone actually finish this thing? The podcast is great, but it's 90% Tom, let's be honest.

Christina P is one of those comedians I like because it doesn't feel like you're watching stand up, it's more like just listening to an eccentric friend of yours. Just seems like a fun person to be around, and listening to her and Tom segura's podcast makes me believe that even more. Listening to her talk about her dad and growing up in this special also just makes it make even more sense. I would buy tickets to his stand up special too. I don't know if this is her best work but it is my favorite and I think that's owing to knowing her more after watching her in "Your mum's house" or "Where your moms at?". I think she's definitely better in her podcasts than when she's doing stand up though. I wasn't really a big fan of her shows until I started listening to those. She's naturally funny and witty in her podcasts while it feels like she's trying hard to be funny in her specials, but I kinda like this one. She's the person she is on stage she is in real life and I think that's great. I wouldn't say she says the wildest things but she does say whatever she wants to and I like that and her and Tom's relationship. She's a funny person in 'real life' but that doesn't seem to fully translate into her stand up specials.

I love YMH and have watched all of Christina specials, this is the worst one yet. She goes on about how toxic her parents are/were without the slightest realization she's just as toxic. Makes jokes about nut allergies, people being poor, etc. She's just punching down. It's not clever, it's not well written, and most importantly for a comedy special, it's not funny. I still love the podcast but I think this is the last Christina P special I will be watching.

Unfortunately, it's simply not funny.

In stand up, making fun of others works only when it's actually funny. Here, it feels like she is saying things for lukewarm shock value, but it simply doesn't make you laugh.

If you're one of those people who gets sensitive and offended, don't watch it. And if you do decide to watch it, don't give a 1 star just because you feel offended. It's not a ted talk, it's a comedy show. It's mostly mom jokes and if you have kids it can resonate. It's not 10 star, but it's a strong 6-7.
