Gabriel Iglesias: Legend of Fluffy

I found the program boring, lacking energy. Thinking about it later, his mother died, his girlfriend split, and Frankie is a young adult and out on his own. He's got nothing left to talk about except Martin(e). He said he wanted to keep it light and funny and then proceeded to beat the audience (and poor Dustin) over the head for 90 minutes with PC BS. Note the final riff on how he learned so much by being shamed and how good it is to be shamed, and then compare that to his beginning story about a McD's manager shaming him on word usage. I sighest. Fluffy and Chapelle need to sit down and compare notes on what the world needs now.

The show was mostly about him giving a long story about him, and just mentioning over an over again how he has been a comedian for a long time! The jokes were not so very funny. I tried to catch myself laughing, but that only happened when he said the joke about the old couples!

If you watched any of his earlier shows you'll know how funny he was back then! I've seen over 5 of his shows, and they were super hilarious, cracking joke after another, where you need to catch your breath sometimes .. but not this one!

The cherry on the top was that there was no end joke that would take you back to the top of the first joke he told! Ooh wait, there was no first joke!

I don't know if you remember the energy and happiness Fluffy used to spread by performing a decade ago. How he could imitate high pitched voices and describle hilarious situations with his perfect storytelling skills. I don't see that guy anymore! He used to be really funny and this... is not funny at all. In this special, people cheer and laugh at every unrelatable sentence which makes it annoying at some point. The performance is without any soul and feels just like an old guy telling his boring memories in a bar. My take might be due to the sake of nostalgia but I have a feeling that fluffy went through so much and couldn't recover from it.

Went to see Fluffy earlier this year. I feared that this special was the same show I saw; and it was. Depressing.

Man, I come to a show to escape. I watch comedy specials to escape. And Fluffy used to help me escape. Not with his current material.

He starts off with stating he's not going to get political....then proceeds to hit political hot buttons THAT WE ALL WOULD LIKE TO ESCAPE FROM regardless of whatever side you find yourself: vaccines, pronouns, cancel culture, pc language, firearms

Now Fluffy might not think he's being political because he's not (in his mind) advocating for one side completely but DAMN Fluffy; you didn't think an audience of hundreds of people would politicize THOSE TOPICS by what they cheered and jeered for?

At the show I attended, with this same material; I had to endure a Midwest Johnny-Red-Wannabe whooping and cheering ever time Fluffy mentioned firearms FOR A HALF AN HOUR. It was exactly the opposite experience of what I spent my hard earned money to experience. Growing up with firearms, I may have agreed with this guy on a number of issues BUT THATS NOT WHY I WATCH COMEDY, especially Fluffy's comedy.

The rest of his special & live act is filled with self-reflection that I'm glad Fluffy has worked through BUT, Fluffy, please do it on your time not when I pay money to watch you live or on a Netflix special.

Someone compared this to a Ted talk and I couldn't agree more.

I was disappointed in his live show and this special to a degree I didn't think I would with Fluffy.

I don't know, man - bring the old Fluffy back! Where's the energy, the pacing, sounds, voices, the "adventurous" stories?

This show is very slow, basically it's like 4 topics/stories in 85 minutes. Plus, the content is very cautious, too correct, too apologetic. I did not expect anything offensive, risky or anything in ie. RickyG or JimmyC style, however this was totally .. sterile. Totally. No own opinion or statement, just cautious maneuvering in wording, situations, stories.

As much as I love Fluffy for his shows up to One show fits all, which I watched several times and recommended to everyone aroud me, this one and the last one (Stadium Fluffy) seem as if he's lost his drive and spark. I cannot put my finger on anything specific but it's just differrent. Not that funny. Like racing your car while following all the traffic rules to the point.

Also, the audience clapping and laughter seems a bit off and I was checking the footage if people are really laughing or clapping. Because I couldn't match the content with the reaction.

So.. I still like and respect Gabriel, I will just stick with his older shows, though.
