Ellen DeGeneres: En commun

Ellen is undoubtedly one of the most beloved comedians today, if not the most. She doesn´t really have to do much to make one laugh, she really is funny just being herself...at least on her talkshow that is. This however was almost cringeworthy to watch. You could see her noticing when she didn´t get the reaction she was expecting from the crowd after a joke. I felt like I was waiting for a punchline throughout the whole show but there never was one. It was almost like someone was forcing her to be there.

Although I did like the throwbacks of when she started out as a comedian. That was very relatable. So maybe she should´ve made this into a TED talk instead?

The problem is that it's not a comedy special. What Ellen did was more like an opening monologue to a talk show. Some stories were funny. There were just no jokes really. Just stories. Watchable i guess.

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!

Hi everyone,

As a huge fan of ellen, I am a little mad at myself for even writing this review, but I feel that as also a huge fan of comedy, I have to be honest and informative. I was so excited for this standup. I had the release date set in calendar. I planned the perfect evening to sit down and enjoy this standup. However, after 15 minutes into the standup, I found myself scrolling on my phone and not paying attention and in that moment, I realized, this standup sucks. I didn't wanna believe it because it's ELLEN so I continued watching and hoping it would get better, but it didn't. I couldn't even finish the whole standup and had to turn it off. I don't know how the audience in the standup was laughing so much... I did not find the jokes funny at all. I found them annoying and flat and overdone.

I love you Ellen but I'm sorry, your standup was highly disappointing.

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.
