He's very good but his transgender stuff is not. It's just like he's pandering to people who want him to do trans content. Which probably got a lot of magas talking about the special and ran up its numbers.
This is the last special of his Netflix contract. For me it read more like him wanting to put a fancy bow on everything, get everything out there and tie everything up.
I am sure the trans stuff has been a big part of his life the last ten years. People telling him they like it and a lot of people telling him they hate it. People that hated that content will not like this special. People that loved that content will find enough to like it. People who just likes jokes and comedy will be like, Dave is so ridiculously good at what he does and this special was just decent (for Dave). Decent Dave is better than 80-90% of comedy specials though.
That makes sense, but I don't think it was necessary for him to "wrap up" the trans stuff. Was anyone like "man I wish Dave would talk about punching down and trans issues one more time" (other than wacks)
I also didn't think there was enough of the great moments he's capable of to consider it "decent" but I can see how people could.
Yeah. His Netflix contract that just ended has been his whole life for five years though and he’s been required to come up with new material and put a show together because of the contract. Like a musician that’s forced to put out a new album every year whether they love the new songs or not. It’s a job.
I just feel like he’s done for a while now though and wanted to address some crap and get some things off his chest. Like, the show wasn’t because michigancat or anyone else wanted him to address that crap and do a bunch of trans comedy, but more because Dave the person wanted to. He isn’t coming out with anything new for a long long time. It will tie up that part of his life (Netflix contract and trans stuff) and when he wants to come out with new stuff if he ever does, it can be a new chapter or new book or new sound or whatever.
