Pete Davidson: Alive from New York

If you can tolerate his awkwardness- which seems genuine and not staged, there are some truly hilarious moments. But not everything lands. Overall, this seems like a decent set from a rising stand-up who's getting a Netflix special because he's SNL-famous. But Pete seems to realize this too. Give this kid another 5-10 years and he'll be great.

Pete Davidson is not a horrible comic,but this special is not a good one. I feel like he ate 3 grams of shrooms and was tripping the whole time. It would explain the goggles and pauses, and hard time he had getting through his stories. So many great comics waiting for a deal,and this is what comes out?

For example, weed. Everyone knows Doug Benson is quintessential "weed comic," but he's F'n hilarious. Pete just uses crowd pleasers like weed to get claps, not laughs.

Just stories. No wit or cleverness.

Pete's style of comedy is very awkward, I find it very unfair that people are criticizing the special for being awkward. If you watch SNL Pete will occasionally join Collin Jost and Micheal Che on weekend update and deliver his awkward take on something and it's just funny. Pete easily replicated that to create something that I found to be quite enjoyable.

I like Pete on SNL, but I can see why he says they only put him in small doses. He's not funny for 45 minutes. His delivery doesn't land. Every fifth word is "um" "uh" "like" "whatever". He also appears to have ADD or something because he'll begin telling the set up for a joke, get distracted and talk about something else, then maybe come back five minutes to the joke he set up, but without any payoff. I think the audience laughs at Pete the celebrity, not Pete the stand-up. If he wasn't famous, nobody would think he was funny.
