One of the best of several generations

I think a lot of people that watch this won't actually know Michael Ian Black's full resume. This guy is off the charts. He has multiple acting AND writing credits that will surprise you. Of course, lots of people have this kind of resume in the comedy world, but when they try to do standup when they are older, it doesn't really pan out... but Michael Ian Black shows them how it is done.

I could watch this guy all day! I'm surprised he is not on one of the late-night talk shows.

Sorry, didn't mean to be a "Walter Kerr" during this review.... okay, maybe I did.

Some guy with some jokes about something LIKE ALL STAND UP COMEDY
Verified purchase
I feel like music and comedy are probably the most subjective things in life. For 1 star reviews to even exist I would expect him to sit on a stool and stare blankly at the screen for an hour. It is an hour of stand-up comedy. I feel like his performance was good. I was entertained. I also gravitate towards people like Mitch Hedberg, Chris Porter, Ralphie May, Daniel Tosh ect. If you don't like those comics you may not like this one. I can't image how hard it is to write and perform an hour special so I always find those one star reviews silly. It wasn't the funniest thing I've ever seen thus four stars. I liked it.

Not liking this guy's personality.
Verified purchase
Too effete -- I prefer male comedians to be more male. A comedian has to convince me to like him enough to continue to listen into the hour.
This guy didn't. Part of it is the three names. Pompous and effete. And opening with a totally unfunny dog-licking skit that was a bomb. Not THE bomb, just a bomb. And then touting his lack of accomplishments.
Sorry, pal, you are unlikable.

Understated Comedy
Verified purchase
Black's humor is understated... and often unexpected. The man tells a good story. It's easy to see why he's had plenty of work as a writer. You may have to think a little in places. But it's an entertaining hour for sure.

His delivery is bad, the material mundane
Verified purchase
This is not clever at all. His delivery is bad, the material mundane, and I couldn't even make it to the halfway mark.
