Weak comedy special. Doesn't even belong in the dollar bin.
fccoomera19 October 2023
I bought this with the hope of being entertained and honestly had to turn it off after 10 minutes. He is obnoxious, there is an obvious laugh track in the background and for some strange reason, he recorded it in the middle of a field instead of in a comedy club. I had never heard of the guy, but it seems like he is claiming to be "banned" from comedy because he stands for "free speech". I think that he would benefit from working on his comedy for six months in comedy clubs before releasing another special. He is either out of practice or doesn't care about delivering quality. (Or maybe both!)

I really wanted to laugh.
graceoimsl12 November 2023
Watched with other's on youtube for a watch party. No one laughed and we felt embarrassed for owen. Only the first half was played. Owen should've called it "Why didn't they laugh" Seriously, there is a reason why he gave it away for free.

Ok, so the review thing tells me I need to make this at least six hundred characters long. We laughed a lot at his suit which was made by one of his bear cult. It was so ill fitting and why is owen's head so big and square. Very different from his livestreams, Perhaps he should stop using the face filter, though him being so vain is quite funny too and womanly.

Unfunny Hayfield Grift Special
jjacobs-8109211 November 2023
This was a very poor attempt at a return to comedy. It was awkward. The looking at a notebook constantly and the obvious laugh track were pretty awful. The jokes were second rate. The only original joke included Owen getting mounted by his cow. Basically, all the jokes were written by his cult members during live streams. I can't stress enough how most of the jokes were re-hashed old jokes. He claimed to have a family friendly show, but included a lot of sexual inuendo and terms that would not be acceptable in a true family friendly show. The need for a laugh track was obviously needed in post production. It's no wonder he made this special FREE!

Great special.
thomaspizzo11 November 2023
Great special. Very funny and worth the watch. Amazing story behind how he was able to create this special after being canceled by Hollywood. This was a grassroots effort and filmed in a hay field, it is amazing they were able to pull this off. He has many jokes that you will not hear on netflix or other comedy outlets controlled by black rock and vangaurd. So he is allowed to make fun of everyone including the ((redacted)) special boys. I also really like the joke about the guy who stole his bike, if you watch the special you can find out what kind of person would steal a bike from a little kid.

Big Bear Brings Heirloom Variety Standup to the Heartland
greytklein11 November 2023
I have been following Owen's work for a few years: not so much his standup comedy as his daily live streams, the community building through direct engagement with his audience and providing immense value through establishing an independent media company, social platform, campground and festival. While it came far from providing the best eye-watering laughter I've been gifted from Owen's unmatched improv comedy on his live streams, this comedy special is a good product, if unpolished.

After 4 years of running a homestead with his wife and their boys, Owen and his family took their one weekend of vacation to be present at the second national Beartaria festival. As a standalone comedy special, the shortcomings of production quality and Owen's faltering voice may detract from the entertainment value of Noble Savage. Placed in context of how awesome a feat it was just to do this show, unrehearsed in a sober, intimate setting with some of his most loyal fans in the audience, I'd say The Big Bear deserves a round of applause.

Who is giving this anything more than 1 star?
wooolstun17 May 2024
Does Owen have a cult that review his movies? Oh.... Wait. He does. Never even chuckled. Owen Benjamin claims to be "the most banned comedian." He wasn't banned, he just isn't funny. At all. And his whole act is predicated on the belief that he is a comedian, and not the grifting freeloader that he is. This man had a very brief run in how business, and now he's grasping at straws. Nobody will work with him. His destructive behavior destroyed any chance that he had to be somebody, so now he has to do stand-up in a corn field for his cult of weirdos to try to hang on to any sort of relevance. Totally not funny.

Best comedy special out there!!!
rbridges-6611711 November 2023
I laughed so hard during the special! Owen totally crushed it on stage! He has jokes that can relate to anyone. This is better than any "comedy" special on Netflix! Owen's truthful comedy can make anyone laugh. Wives, mothers, boomers, and even the millennials! Owen presented the comedy special with confidence and realness. It was refreshing to see that. Compared to all the sellout comedians these days. The content and the message of his special is priceless and of high value to the community. It was such a blessing to be at the special live and meet Owen and his family. Such beautiful souls. Thank you Owen and all the people who made the special and festival happen.

Awesome comedy special!
Jimmyjoe91111 November 2023
Owen Benjamin returns in top form! The very mention of his name makes the gamma hives of reddit squirt with internal turmoil and inspires thuvian throat chant choruses of HOOOWW DAAARRREEE YOOOOUUUS from the self righteous jort wearing despair merchants. This special features hilarious bits covering a diverse range of topics from the tactical operations of motherhood, to farm life, to the exploits of the biblical King David and beyond. No demographic is safe from the jests of the Bard King! Not to mention it has been made available FREE at his website! Do yourself a favor and see what people are raving about for yourself!

He's a natural on stage.
warkertyler20 October 2023
Owen Benjamin took 4 years off since he was banished from performing in any mainstream comedy clubs. Comes back with this top notch special. Owen will make fun of everyone while the rest of the comedy world top toes around certain demographics. Loved the special and legit laughed throughout. Congratulations to Owen for being back in action and doing it on your own terms. Highly recommend!

If you are not the type to be offended by everything, give it a watch. The entire show was crowdfunded and performed on a farm in Missouri in front of the crowd that donated to it. Owens a legend and a great man for all that he has built.

100x better than anything on Netflix!
tyroneshoes3320 October 2023
Legendary work at a crucial time!

In a time when the propaganda machine is churning out nonsense at unprecedented levels, when grabbler football season is in full swing, ...After 4 years away from the stage, after being banned from every platform from Airbnb to YouTube, Owen Benjamin returns in top form to lead the charge against victim consciousness and remind us that comedy is alive and we're still allowed to laugh! Delivering hard hitting truth comedy to an incredibly authentic(sober even) crowd in a Missouri hay field, the Noble Savage has again taken comedy to the people! Long live Beartaria!
