Social media is faster than all of them and by the time they hit the stage and get specials they’re all late. That’s why the Deon Cole one was good for talking about maturing.

I think this may be the problem, they talking about events that happened over a year ago already. Social media dun ran through alll the best jokes and memes already on it. Everything chris rock and Marlon said i heard a million times already, and funnier.

Comedy needs quick turn around, if something happened this week you gotta have something out by next week. It reminds me of comic view back in the day how every other comedian used to run through the same jokes

Seriously so who’s recent specials do you think is funnier than this?

Because y’all are talking like there are tones of comedians that are putting out fire and that would even address this situation this head on.
Ali Siddiq's Domino Effect is way funnier than this. That was the best special of 2022.

Point somewhere I said that fire specials have been released. Comedy has been in a bad space recently. Just because comedy isn’t good doesn’t mean we lower our standard. This special was bad. Chris Rock Tambourine special was better (than his current special) and Marlon is not a good comedian. Marlon has terrible set ups and the bits aren’t polished. He is not a good writer. He is suited for comedic roles more so than stand up.

That’s a flat out lie. Tambourine nor the directors cut was better than this. Naw you watched this wrong

Bruh, he dropped the mic on “my parents taught not to fight in front of white folks”. That material is dated man. He talked about the ears test, that weak delivery of a joke of getting his daughter kicked out. I did enjoy how he rounded it off with his mother in paris (plus the music drop was good production there). It wasn’t his hogher tier material.

Marlon made a bunch pf dated material pac, will smith music, will been so loved and nice. The jada material was sated as well and over done. Plus, how your whole routine about Chris Rock situation. That proves he’s a comedian who doesn’t have the talent.

I mean I’d expect older comedians to not be as good as they were in their younger days, but Rock did ok in his standup. It’s not touching his prime stuff but he did good. People always saying how Rock and Chappelle fell off acting like there’s some young comic killing the game now.

Marlon jokes be stuck in the 90s school yard disses. He still telling jokes about black people not having two parent households is corny. He a terrible stand up even tho I root for his success

Both were great. Marlon finally put all the pieces together. It’s inspiring to see someon put in the work and get rewarded.

But OP and the rest of the Will and Jada hive would have hated anything Chris did anyway. If Chris spent his whole special on the slap, they would have crying tears about how Chris is obsessed with Will and Jada and how he hates black women.
