I'll be 45 this year and oh my god this was torture, worse than having to pretend to laugh and seem interested at what an 80 year old uncle will say at Christmas dinner. I laughed less than a random 10 minute tiktok session, which rarely makes me laugh.
Apart from his ability to tell a story, everything else is so off. And I don't mind a shocking but good lgbtq or disabled or whatever type of joke, but these jokes were so lame, he generally came off like a really grumpy old man who just has a problem with everything. I laughed hard with a line about a gay celebrity, and half a minute later he came back to it with a "gays ruin our children" mentality that only a 70 year old white man could think was a good second part to the first line.
The Gervais special was a bit mid but compared to this, it was a masterpiece, and he's in his sixties. The "dreamer", slap, and more personal stuff were quite good but I pressed play on a comedy special, not a tedx talk or a retrospective interview.
