Whitney Cummings: Jokes

I prefer the old Whitney where she would only yell the punchline - so that we knew where the funny was. It was like her own personal version of an applause sign and a laugh track. But now, she starts out yelling and mugging. Sadly, comedy specials seem to be rife with this now: Iliza Schlessinger, Kevin Hart, etc. Some people like to refer to them as being 'high energy' but it's just exhausting and it seems to be a tool and a tactic to use when the material isn't really there. This is what Robin Williams did for years and everybody was fooled by it. But go back and watch it now and you'll realize it was all a smokescreen. You're better off watching the latest Bill Burr special. Or Tig Notaro's last special.

Zero stars. I don't know what else to say. She isn't funny and this isn't comedy. This might have been the worst "comedy" special I've ever seen. Filler.

What in the hell did I just watch? I mean, the Andrew Schulz special was bad, but compared to this it was a masterpiece.

This mid-40 comedian (sorry, 39 of course *cough*) should have her picture under "physical comedy", what once was an okay roast comic and surely here and there a funny one, turned into a gymnast, except the gymnast is out of breath after every interpretation of a joke.

She thinks weird faces and movements, plus presenting the V constantly, equals funny. First part is just sex jokes, really bad ones. She is into old people, then suddenly she is into young guys. For the sake of comedy.

The second half is about stuff you did as a kid. Wild, right? Remember all the dangerous stuff we did as a kid? Wow. I remember *clap clap clap* But there is no joke.

Gringo Papi is the standard for the worst comedy special out there. But at least it was just 30 minutes. This is Whitney Cummings' 5th special, she should be good at this. Or just better than Schaub. But apparently she confused this one with a podcast. I didn't laugh once, I can at least laugh at Brendan Schaub ironically. This is worse.

So she's pretending not to be woke making fun of woke things? So many not funny or cringey parts... the whole thing has a weird vibe. Lots of jokes about her being super old but she's in her late 30s and still looks great so it really just doesn't work. Just very disappointing because she definitely can be funny, I've heard her on rogan and actually enjoyed the podcast.

I feel like this was some kind of rebound-revenge special following her broken engagement. The first 20 minutes were especially rough...

Whitney, you're better than this. Cute boots though.
