Ellen DeGeneres: En commun

Let me start off by saying I'm a huge Ellen fan. I was super excited when Relatable was announced, but the hype died even at first quarter of the stand up. The good side : it had some funny parts but not ones that's memorable or invoked lasting laughters. Ellen looked good but gave out vibes that she is trying so much, it was like a hidden struggle with jokes, and that isn't Ellen's usual ways at all. I found it pretty mediocre, to be honest. I stopped watching halfway and switched over to her older stand up "Here and Now" just to get rid of the unpleasant feeling from Relatable. I still love you Ellen.

Ellen is a great comedian and one of my absolute favorite but this show wasn't her best. Don't get me wrong, I had some good time and some laughs, it's just that I didn't love anything. Never did I say "I want to tell people to go and watch it", it was just one show.

So you can pass your time through this, but do not expect to be blown away!

I just finished watching this standup special.wish I could tell you how funny it was ..I cant..I wish I could tell you how animated he is ..she wasn't. Monotone delivery and no real "jokes ".apparently the audience was filled with major fans of her tv talk show .they laughed alot .I didnt. .not once..she says shes been away from standup for 15 years..it shows....I'm being kind with my 3 star rating...stay with your talk show where 5 minute monologue is best...

Almost over half the special was so good and funny, but then it felt like she had no content left to say and it became boring towards the end with lots of funny stuff that we heard of like a hundred time

Before I watched this I read some reviews and some of the bad ones kind of baffle me. I am not sure what people were expecting after decades. Maybe the greatest comedy act of all time. And when this wasn't that they one stared it in response. Yes it is ALOT about Ellen's coming out. It was a HUGE part of her life. A popular tv show that got run into the ground a year after she came out....that is going to effect someone. It probably took her YEARS to find the comedy in it. One of them complains about the comedy being about Rich People Problems....well yeah. That is kind of the point. When Ellen went from out of work actor to one of the most respected daytime talk show hosts on tv today. Some of her jokes are simply about would she still be "relatable" to her fans the same ones who made a comic a tv star and a tv star a talk show host.....my answer is yes. She is very relatable....that is kind of her shtick.
