Hasan Minhaj: Off with His Head

I have no idea why he got so many negative reviews that's why I felt compelled to write one review on IMDb to even out the playing field .I thought he was brilliant, intelligent, insightful, honest and most of all hysterical. And yes he is loud and throws around a stool, it's called dramatic effect. Extremely relevant and very relatable the issues he brings up, being a father, being a son and being an American. Thank you Hasan for once again pointing out what is obviously wrong witch your comical yet quick witted, sharp brilliance. I gave it a ten because I found absolutely no fault with the standup.

Funny and insightful. Connected with me as an Indian who is somewhat familiar with US, history and it's cultural idiosyncrasies in this period. I laughed a lot and got a bit emotional.

To be completely honest was also a bit annoyed by the extremely loud and manic performance. I know most of the emotional core of this performance relies on convincing us of his manic problems, but it just too damn loud. Else it would've been 9/10 for me.

PS: Compelled to write the review by the surprise of such lowly rated reviews (1/2/.... I mean everyone in the audience seemed to genuinely have a great time. I understand that it does not bear the genius of rich wordplay or the brilliantly observant (but safe) situational comedy of Seinfeld or LD. Nor does it exhibit the sheer brilliance in jokes, craft and effortlessness of Louis C. K. or the Chris Rock of old but it's good and well worth the watch.

As a psychologist and someone in an interracial relationship, my husband and I were screaming laughing at Hasan's latest performance! His jokes about "boundaries" and "couples therapy" literally had tears rolling down our faces! The stereotypes were hilariously accurate based on our lived experience, and Hasan has made me proud to be an Indian-American. Anyone who doesn't think Off With His Head was comedic genius clearly doesn't understand the niche California/immigrant/millennial sense of humor. His crowd work was also incredible! I love how the immigrant archetypes were perfectly placed throughout the crowd. So so so funny. Hasan has done it again! A political genius.

Hassan represents the experience of the Indian people in the West to a T.

Funny, fresh and consistent, is what you get with Hassan. I normally do not write reviews, but I felt obliged to do so in this case, because of the few 1 star reviews.

The only explanation I have for them is that perhaps some of the audiences could not completely relate with Hassan's experiences. I on the other hand found myself laughing and nodding along. It is probably not as hard hitting as some of his earlier material, but it is still in typical Hassan Minhaj style special.

So give it a chance and keep an open mind.

Absolutely Disappointing. Reading the title and description, I was expecting him to deliver some kind of apology for the lies in his first Netflix special. If you don't remember, those lies were not jokes. The people he lied about had to face a lot of hate and bullying. Hasan shows no remorse for those lies, while he is sorry for expecting Ellen to pronounce his name correctly.

The quality of his comedy has clearly gone down. I chuckled only twice during the entire special. Not worth watching. I could clearly tell that many of the "laughs" in the show were fake. He somehow managed to offend every ethnicity.
