But was any of it actually funny?

    Even his latest special is pretty good. Never understand the mass hate with his huge popularity, but I guess that’s what comes with the crazy popularity.

      I only ever saw 1 special but it was funny back then. He was good in Waiting as well.

        Me too, happened to catch him at a club a little before he blew up and I remember laughing my ass off…can’t vouch for anything he’s done since tho, it’s def possible his act didn’t age well so grain of salt

      I think a lot of it was just that his humor was very much of its own time. That sort of early 2010s style of comedy hasn’t aged too well.

      Haven’t seen his new stuff, though. Honestly didn’t even know he was still in the comedy scene at all, might have to give it a watch!

        He pioneered the way standups get theirselves out there today. In the days of MySpace. Everyone thought he was out of his mind while he was doing it too.
