Pete Davidson: Turbo Fonzarelli

The only person that could have written that has to be Pete David send himself. I keep giving this guy a chance after chance and I am consistently disappointed. He had his moments and I mean brief moments at SNL but he is absolutely terrible as a stand-up. Surprisingly he's better at acting so long as that role is basically exactly who he is in real life but at least it comes across as natural. I don't care about his dating history or anything of this sort but this guy got put on a pedestal and I don't believe he is deserving of one and I think this is my last foray into the world of Pete Davidson.

No pun intended - I really like Pete. He is a good comedian and this stand up special is nice too. That may sound worse than I mean it to be. Also nice may not be the word you may think of when you watch this! As already stated in my summary line, he uses quite a bit of profanity. By the way this is nothing new - see Richard Pryor and many others from many decades ago.

He has some jokes about sexuality and drugs too. In other words you cannot be too sensitive or easily offended ... well you can, but it probably does not make much sense watching this if you already know this will trigger you and make you angry ... just saying. I also am quite certain this year will have way better stand up specials ... at least for me. That said, I don't mean that this was one is bad ... well he is bad ... but in a good sense ...

I love Pete Davidson but there's no way to make jokes about your mom like that correctly. The opener put a bad taste in my mouth for the rest of the show.

I've never left a bad review before but it was frankly disgusting.

The rest of it was actually really funny, it was just an incredibly poor choice to talk about someone he's related to the way he did for as long as he did.

After the first few minutes it got a lot better so I didn't want to tank the review too much just to be fair.

It's still a good watch for 55 minutes, a lot better than most of the recent Netflix comedy specials they've been coming out with.

I was underwhelmed with Pete Davidson's first Netflix special, "Alive From New York," which struck me as a little sloppy and unpolished. It was pretty good, but it was his first special and the potential for well-written jokes was there.

Because of that, I hoped that this second special would demonstrate his growth. And it did. His jokes in "Turbo Fonzarelli" are better worked out and clearly more practiced. He was much more comfortable and confident with his stage presence, and ultimately it felt like the show was more for his fans and less for himself. I'm genuinely excited to watch Pete continue growing and evolving his comedy.

It's dark, like his comedy. I enjoyed this special and most of the jokes in it, however, a few of them are a little uncomfortable so make sure not to watch with your mom. I really find Pete Davidson funny and I know that not everyone does, so I want to be careful to say here that if Pete isn't your thing you aren't going to enjoy this one as much as I did. He speaks reality into every day life in a way that I appreciate. Maybe that means I'm mentally ill like he is, but I liked this one so much I watched it twice in a week because a friend was over and I knew it was one I could enjoy a 2nd time.
