After watching Ronny on SNL, eventually in his first Netflix special and even a stand up show, I thought that he would really continue cooking. Unfortunately I was wrong.
He really thrives on story telling, sharing personal experiences as someone who is relatively fresh to the American Dream lifestyle.
I quite enjoyed his perspective on American life, what it's like to be a part of a tradition heavy family and even mundane tasks like using public transit and the qualms that came with it. All provided very relatable humour.
Unfortunately, the second Netflix special was highlighted by his opinion on vaccines (a tired topic already) and how if you didn't take it you were dumb followed up by this special which flip-flops politically to illustrate how MAGA isn't that bad. I enjoy laughs at the expense of politics and politicians alike but when it comes down to opinions and a comedian telling a viewer how they should feel, the material comes across as more of a lecture...ultimately leaving me feel like I just sat through a class for patriotism.

People say talk show is an art of offending people, but there has to be a prerequisite, which is it has to be about offending people of a privileged position. If you choose to offend people of a inferior position, or the group that has always been overlooked, that is bullying, that's not art of any kind.
So many Asian so-called "comedians" choose to make jokes about their parents, about how much they hate their identifies, and how they successfully "blend" into the "main-stream". That's not comedy, not art, that's sad! Senior Asians are the ones who get systematically overlooked and even bullied everyday and everywhere in American, Asian males are the people that get systematically suppressed. And "Chinese-born" has become more and more as a crime to a lot of MAGAs. Ronny Chieng, as an Asian American, finally get the gut to express his take towards some of these problems. I respect him, I solute to him.
This show is a small step, but a COURAGEOUS one!

This is one of those shows that will display your level of humor.
Either you can take the jokes and treat them as that, just jokes or you're way to stuck up and take life too seriously.
His observations are spot on from beginning to the end. I told my wife before even writing this comment that he will most likely have a few, very bad reviews from people who are way too political.
His bad reviews will solely come from people who are triggered because he (very well spokenly) challenges their thoughts and they just can't take it.
Time and time again I said out loud "That's a very good observation" (political or not)

Ronny Chieng's Love to Hate it Netflix special feels like a punishment rather than entertainment. It's as if someone took the concept of comedy, ran it through a blender, and forgot to add any humor.
Chieng spends the entire special alternating between yelling, glaring, and making bizarre observations that feel like they were brainstormed during a caffeine-fueled fever dream. The pacing is so erratic it's as though the special is actively trying to give you whiplash.
The "punchlines" (if you can call them that) are predictable at best and cringe-inducing at worst. Every time I thought it couldn't get less funny, it somehow managed to find a new low. I genuinely started to feel bad for the audience, who looked like they were laughing out of obligation or possibly nervous confusion.
By the end, I wasn't just unamused; I was actively annoyed. If this is the future of comedy, then we should all be deeply concerned. Watch at your own risk.

I surely didn't love to hate it like the title suggested it, I could not believe the lowered level of well-thought and sharp observations compared with the previous two shows.
At some point I was almost convinced that everything was written by asking an AI model to write a whole new show in the style of Ronny's past shows.
There is simply no soul present.
My guess is that this was written by a D-grade embryo and for D-grade embryos only.
Ronny is very clear about other people's opinions, he doesn't care at all. And while is right about it, he should at least listen to his own opinion called self-criticism.
I hope that this was a one-time hit and miss and not the start of the downfall.
