Hari Kondabolu: Warn Your Relatives

This comic is not funny, is seemingly anti-white racist, has no comic timing or sensibility, and tends to get political in a very common and unfunny way. I must admit that I let him go once the politics started, so if he became golden after that, oh well.

This special was pretty damn good and also hit on a few of the more pertinent topics in America. The reviews and comments are absolute gold by the way! It's hysterical when a group who is not used to any sort of criticism receives the tiniest bit. Anyone who speaks politically that doesn't automatically cosign on the status quo in America will be derided in this way. The ridiculous notion that in order for someone to speak on an issue they have to play Devil's Advocate is absurd and laughable. The only caveat is that in order to laugh at these jokes you have to be able to check your privilege at the door. .

What a waste of time. Worst comedy show I've ever seen. Nothing was funny.

And the answer is none.

None more woke.

There are funny parts here.

He's ok.

Some of this felt like pandering. Some time in the past it was decided you could make sweeping generalizations about groups of people or regions of the country provided you were punching up: bigotry is fine, in other words, provided that on a collective basis you've got less power than the people you're stereotyping. This is apparently a rule of cultural physics now.

I'm sure people who enjoy this sort of thing enjoyed this special.

I found it about 50% funny and 50% lazy. I don't feel attacked, offended, or uncomfortable; it is more tedious than it is challenging. Nor do, I presume, the whole of the Midwest, or the hippies in Asheville, North Carolina, who are probably more confused than anything.

This was like watching a Twitter woke-off; a series of social justice memes thrown out for mutual approval, re-tweets, likes, and upvotes.

Still, overall, worth watching. He's got potential.

I recommend it, but it is nothing I'll remember in a year's time.

5/24/18. OMG, Hari is absolutely funny. Like nerd funny. Like he just stands there and unassumingly throws out these hilarious lines throughout the stand-up. Watch it!
