Chris Porter: Ugly and Angry

I really enjoy watching stand up on Netflix. I usually find new comedians by the recommendations Netflix provides me with. I just watched Louis C.K. before I came across Chris Porter. It was a total change of pace. This caught me off guard and I had to pause multiple times because I was laughing so hard. He is definitely one of those comedians that makes fun of stupid people and stupid situations, but it is really entertaining. I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys comedians like Bill Burr. It's an in your face, you are an idiot, type of comedy. Very enjoyable to watch and I look forward to specials of his in the future. Well done Chris Porter, for saying what we all think.

He's a Kansas-born comedian whose eyes are wide open and whose keen, intelligent mind is capable of calling things as they really are and translating it hilariously back to the rest of us. Well worth seeing, repeatedly, and sharing with others. Truth may not be popular; his full-on indulgent enjoyment of First Amendment rights notwithstanding, I've always felt that humor can be well-seasoned with some colorful language. All in all, for adults, I think it's great and you'll find him easy to relate to.

I am not familiar with Chris Porter the comedian or Chris Porter the porn star, but I think I probably like the first one more. He is pretty funny, even if much of his humor here seems to rely heavily on cuss words (and not clever usage like Carlin was known for).

Much of this is observational, and is not incredibly unique. His Starbucks rant is nothing that anybody else could not have come up with. But his delivery is above average, and as they say, humor is all in the timing. He has that down, and I suspect this is not the last time I will be watching a Chris Porter comedy special.

And, who knows, maybe he is still refining his technique and eventually will be strong enough that he will not need vulgarity to sell his shows. (Of course, sometimes that is all you need to succeed.)
