Definitely one of my favorite newer comedians.

Jerrod Carmichael has a brilliant dead pan style of delivering twisted, honest, and hilarious dark jokes that feel personal, refreshing, and relatable.

boy

jerrod wit, timing and humanity are absent from this performance and his pretentious and relentless charade of worldly defeatism doesn't work. Being gross can be funny but there has to be some context, some originality and some relative experience for the viewer to engage with.

I'd have to seriously question the professional judgment of the hbo team that saw this past the ideas stage! I'm assuming that they are all her friends or they divvied up her paycheck!

Jerrod Carmichael is brilliant.

Jerrod Carmichael's 8 is a brilliant and honest special. The surreal take of direction by Bo Burnham is striking and intelligent. The jokes that Jerrod delivers seems like he is doing it on the spot, like he is talking to the audience. And the camera angles chosen for this special helps the Illusion that Jerrod is talking to us. Its is one of the best comedies I have seen in a long time.
