I thought the seventeen hours of Afro Circus was a little much at first, but Chris really made it work in the end.

I started watching it and I skipped just a little to get past the credits and getting on the stage process and he was going on about police shootings or whatever and I was like bro that's so tired I just want to laugh so I turned it off in the hope that if it was good I would hear that news from others but judging from this thread it appears that isn't the case so peace out peeps and thanks

About halfway in I’m wondering if it was really Louis CK writing his old good stuff, but it could also be I’m old

The part where he says he’d like equality and to see some white teenagers shot and their mothers crying was a little weird

The whole special is a bit weird, he talks about himself cheating but it’s not funny at all

I take this back. I started listening to more of it. It's pretty good.

The people who are hating on this special are probably the same people who post at the racist goon site somethingsenstitive.com

He had a good strech of OK movies in the early-mid-00s. They weren't great, but were likable enough.

Then he's changed. His thing used to be sending up the actions of black people. "I love black people, but I hate n-words," was one of his things.

No fair! You changed the outcome by measuring it!
I just watched this last night. He talks about cheating on his ex wife then he talks about being single and how young women like to gently caress. He still does that thing where he repeats a statement over and over while pacing. He’s definitely past his prime but better than a lot of other comedians. So that’s my two cents thank you.

No really bomb jokes, the whole thing is full of ‘clapter’, he gets some good lines in but I only laughed a handful of times. Expected a lot more.

How the gently caress is Bo Burnham directing these million dollar specials, what makes everyone like him so much? He seems weird and insufferable

I only like sitcoms with a laugh track. Heavily scripted with a cue to know when I should laugh. Stand up comedy a bit too unpredictable for my tastes, I am a man of routine and order.

What is it about comedians as they age that causes them to go from telling funny yuk-yuks and anecdotes mixed with some clever social commentary to being either a dour polemicist or self-satisfied phlilosopher god-king?

Not sure it's one thing, but comedy definitely seems harder to stay relevant in than other performing arts. And, since tastes can vary wildly and change quickly, I think some people react poorly to that. Stand up seems especially hard to keep up with and adapt to.

Maybe? Guys like Jim Gaffigan and Brian Regan are hugely successful but also not standing around grumpily talking about why they're right and everyone else is wrong.
