Marc Maron, Tom Segura, Dave Chapelle, Kevin Hart, Louis C. K., Doug Stanhope, Jim Jeffries, Mike Birbiglia, Bill Burr - their last specials were funny. Granted, Hart's, Burr's and Birbiglia's were out in 2019, yes, Stanhope's wasn't as good as the old stuff, same goes for Segura. I could also mention Patton Oswalt, whose lattest special was just so much less funny then the previous one, but at least it was sweet. And there were some show stealing bits that made you choke with laughter still.
This one on the other hand is just not funny. I like this guy a lot, Hannibal is clever, hilarious guy at times, all his specials I've watched - never felt disappointed. Miami Nights? Just a no. Then again, like Buress said himself comedy is subjective, so what the hell do I know. I'm no comedian by a long shot, can't even imagine how difficult it is to maintain being funny and entertaining for years. I've never reviewed stand up specials before, it's unlikely I'll ever do that again. It's just that I felt numb throughout the whole thing and it's not one of the greatest shows of the past few years for sure.
Doesn't mean anything actually. Kevin Hart's "What Now?" was a flop only for the "Irresponsible" to ascend like a phoenix. So I'm eager for the next thing of his. Remember, there is one "r" in Buress.
