I don't get the hype. This stand-up was terrible and felt terribly manufactured. Didn't find it funny at all.

I'm kinda new to the world of stand up comedy, and thanks to netflix i'm finally watching a lot of stuff. Louis ck hooked me into stand up comedy, and then i watched and loved a lot of stuff from ricky gervais and jim jefferies. Then i found out that tom from parks and recreation, the best comedy series ever made imho, was a very famous stand up comedian, didn't know that, i get excited and then...meh. I've wrote all of this personal background about stand up comedy because, i don't know...i feel that probably it was a decent show but i was just hyped too much and found it bad because of that. The social media/smartphones part was not bad at all but the show in general was just mediocre. Nothing really cunning or hilarious here, too much jumping around and do little voices to my personals taste...also 50 minutes isn't kinda short for a stand up show in the madison square garden? I'm sticking up with his character from parks and recreation, he was funny there...as a stand up comedian, instead...not so funny.

I genuinely don't understand what people find amusing about this person's attempt to be a comedian or an actor. On the logic that selling out Madison Square Garden might lend to a decent show, my wife and I really tried to watch this performance. After 10 minutes of listening to him just talk, it was apparent to us that there was nothing in this show that could considered clever or witty, so we found something else to watch. It felt like he was simply riding the fame that he garnished from his exceptionally unnecessary character in the "Parks and Recreation" television show.

Not sure what this guy's appeal is or where all the hype is from (he apparently sold out Madison Square Garden so he must have a pretty large fan base) but I did not find him funny at all, at least not based on this television special. He has other, earlier television specials so I'm assuming they are probably a lot better as they are higher rated here on IMDb.Perhaps it's just a question of him running out of material after using all his best bits in the earlier specials? I'm not sure what the reason is but this one hour special did not make me laugh even once, or even smile one time.A lot of the jokes aren't just bad they're predictable or "re-hashed". How many times do we need to hear jokes about how nobody likes vegetables but bacon is amazing? He seriously did like five or ten minutes on that, including a meat vs. vegetables basketball game act out that made no sense at all.Yawn.
