Marlon Wayans: Good Grief

Comedy is about more than what the comedian is talking about it's about where it's coming from whether or not it's true and whether or not we can relate to it so in the definition of a true standup comedy show I think he nailed it because it was actually funny. I saw two stars and four stars and I don't think that's realistic because it's more than whether or not you were offended by it. It was still funny and it was even funnier the way he told it I read one review that was titled I'm not easily offended, but why would you be offended by someone else's pain? I thought that was pretty corny Marlon is a staple in the comedy scene. I think no matter what he talks about It's going to be funny Because he's just a funny person. Six stars is pretty accurate.

While I'm an old die-hart fan of the Wayans family, I was excited optimistic and hopeful that I would not only get some good laughs, but that I would have some insight on a family we all wish we had. Sadly, I was disappointed-I'm certain his jokes came from a place of pain but I don't think the audience really needed an insight on his experiences that were all but funny! I sat there watching in wonder of what his famous siblings thought! I even tried to understand the funny flip side of it all, but unfortunately that side never flipped. I did chuckle when he discussed the 'great Shaquille O'Neal-but that smile was quickly saddened when he noted who should've been killed from all great NBA giants.

This is my facorite comedic special of the year if your ride with it. I don't usually like this guy, but this older more mature version is turning up. I am optimistic for the second half of his career.

The content in this special is raw, and you will not see Netflix specials that come close to the level of vulgarity and sometimes meanness that Wayans exhibits.

No one has really touched on the topics he does in this special and it is hilarious if you ride with it. He goes much farther than you I was expecting or frankly ready for him to go.

But he brings it back on track in each circumstance, keeping it light while playing with the darkness. I hope folks respect this for the masterpiece it is. Its apparent he (and probably his team also) put a lot of work into this.

Pure comedic genius and authenticity. Marlon gave the audience an intimate look into his family life and dealing with life issues such as grief/depression, through a comedic lense. One second, I'm laughing and the next, I'm crying. The show really made me think about the most important things in life while keeping me laughing nonstop, quite literally. This show is a must see. I don't write reviews often but I thought I would be doing others a disservice by withholding my opinion in this scenario. I like to let others know when I have found a true gem. I have always been a huge Marlon Wayans fan but this allows me to see him in a more intimate way.

This guy can't do no wrong, even the potentially crass jokes are a hit, all cuz of his impeccable timing and just comedic talent in general. Not only was it funny but moving too, and thought provoking. Loved it!
