Ifeelspace Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 You may be right. I like the guy, so maybe i just find him naturally funny, regardless of the subject matter. I can really relate to his sense of humour. This shits all over Kevin Hart's latest 'special' though (but that aint hard, how is he so popular?!?)

eugene Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 i wish it was textbook lck, but it isn't. a lot of jokes are just very dull or go on for way too long (the 2017 is a good example) or have really weak punchlines. it's really depressing to see someone you love to begin to gradually lose it, like a grandad with alzheimer or something.

IDK yes was a bit weaker, still great though compared to most standups. i think he has in hands in a bunch of shows/films at the moment as producer, actor, director think like or 4-5 shows running concurrently, definitely too many, as there are too many shows generally, so perhaps he's getting distracted & not as hungry for the standup. his recent monologue on SNL kinda said it all on SNL staying in 5 star hotels etc needs to get the appetite back as he's in a comfortable, lazy place. he's also doing a collab album with louis theroux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braintree Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 new special isn't good. discuss. We finally agree on something. I think I only laughed throughout it since I was high as shit. I really dislike the "me and my girlfriend blah blah" routine that a lot of comedians do. His past material has mostly been in opposition to that style, but this special is pretty blasé.

caze Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Magic Mike bit tho Haven't seen the special yet, but this bit killed live. Sounds like it's mostly material he did in the london show, so I'm not in a big rush to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr_Nova Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I remember thinking his 2016 special was his worst... but apparently there is no 2016 special, so I don't know what to think anymore. This last one was decent, though not as strong as usual. That may be because I'm so used to his style that there are no surprises left. The element of surprise is kind of key in comedy. It's got to be hard living up to being everybody's favorite standup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugene Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 i rewatched it and i actually think that the second half of it is good, it's just the first part that seems very uninspired and dull. should've been an EP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendish Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I enjoyed the new one. He's not that funny though. Just a regular guy making jokes in the way that basically any bantering group of middle aged men do. There's walking the line of offence in an intelligent way, pushing it and creating layers of manipulation and irony to ensnare the audience, and then there's doing it in a blatant way that isn't in any way clever. His voices are pretty lame as well. That said. Laugh out loud moments for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbpete Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 new special isn't good. discuss.Phew, glad it's not just me - Enjoyed all the specials to date and the Louis shows but something just didn't feel right with this one. Seemed very throwaway, he didn't really seem to have as much energy as normal. Like it was an *alright* hour, but 'alright' isn't normally the standard he sets on stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail Sagan Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 The special before this one didn't do much for me, and this one was even worse. The magic mike and the guy in the shitty car bits were pretty funny however. Sad to see him falling off. Even Bill Burr's latest special didn't deliver as much as his previous one did, maybe I'm just too familiar with their material and delivery at this point. It's time to check out some new comedians.

Hugh Mughnus Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I unno', I liked the last special just as much as any of his, I thought it was great. Still prefer Doug Stanhope but yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still prefer Doug Stanhope but yeah. nah i like both for diff reasons but think louis has the edge sever so slightly, some of DS sets just turn into a negative rant which is ok if your watching while your drunk but when your sober it makes for sobering viewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auditor Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Saw Stanhope live a few years back. I think some of his unrelenting anger comes from the fact that he is very short. Bingo was there too, bummed a cig off me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
