Netflix stand-up is the worst

[Crichax]

So, last year, my family downloaded some Netflix stand-up originals to listen to on a car trip. I don't know the specific names of the shows, so I can't tell you who the comedians were.

I overheard several of the shows...and they were just boring. The majority of the jokes were just extremely bland, or just obnoxious pop-culture references. I don't get how low-budget YouTubers can make much better comedy than people sponsored by Netflix.

What do you think of Netflix stand-up? Am I wrong? Where can they be improved upon?

What's the point of Netflix exactly? Torrenting exists.

There's a Doug Stanhope set worth checking out on Netufariksu - "Beer Hall Putsch."

I'm like 95% sure Soros or some other group is pumping Netflix with venture capital with the stipulation it has to be "woke" because 99.99% of all Netflix comedy is Republicans/white people/men suck and are evil

I never listened to them, but back when Netflix had a useful star rating system, I saw that all of them had 2 stars at best. I tried listening to one, and couldn't last 10 minutes without sighing at how awful it was

Dave Chappelle's are great, watch them if you haven't.

 

[SmileyTimeDayCare]

Jeselnik wasn't bad.

Comedy doesn't have to be funny.

“Nanette” and why a new wave of comedians don’t want to be funny

Though comedians’ political rants may go viral, they’re not necessarily that insightful.

The only funny thing about that was the fact that somebody actually raped her.

The only one I've watched was Ryan Hamilton's "Happy Face" and I laughed my butt off because I'm just a fucking weirdo. The guy's from Idaho and literally sounds like Jerry Seinfeld, it's pretty crazy.

I'll second this. His Netflix Standup specials are on par with some of his old school comedy central stuff

John Mulaney's new one was just so fucking depressing.

I think what's probably happening is that it's so much easier to record and distribute all forms of media that you're just seeing the truth of all forms of entertainment; most artists are kind of meh, some of them are good, and a very few are brilliant.

 

[Y2K Baby]

You're the worst.

 

[Gordon Cole]

Dave Chappelle, Todd Glass, Todd Barry, Norm MacDonald and Demetri Martin had some good specials imo.

My wife loves him, but I think he's a total fag.
