Chris Distefano: Speshy Weshy

I'll be honest, I don't understand the negative reviews. I thought it was funny. I laughed/chuckled at a good number of the jokes. I saw somebody said it was "white guy comedy" and honestly I can see why, but I didn't think that detracted from what he was capable of very much. "white guy comedy" is fine for me... but then again, I'm a white guy so who knows. I like this guy, I like this special, I think he did a good job. Of course, it's not amazing or hilarious or anything but I enjoyed it and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a basic, straightforward comedy special... ok at this point I'm just trying to hit the character minimum.

I've never heard of him before, so gave it a look. He has some good ideas, but then fell away from them and circled back to this Latina wife - a lot. Liked that he self produced this piece and then (Obviously) sold it to Netflix. I would like to see him perform sober! Also, they kept showing one guy in the audience who had spikes for teeth - which was very disconcerting! I look forward to his next special.

He said a few things that were funny but I guess I just wasn't feeling it. Not sure if it was the round about way he got to the punch lines, the topics or the physical delivery but it just didn't quite work. Comedy is different for everyone though. So, taking that into consideration along with the belief that everyone should laugh more I say go for it. It's not a long performance. If it's not for you, turn it off but if it works, you'll be glad you watched it. :)

Chrissy Chaos comes twice in 38mins on 7 cilantro/lime margaritas!!! He's about to "blow" his way to the top so slide that taquito in to his chaos train and get filled up with laughter before it leaves the station !!!!

Its ok. I usually think he's hilarious but the whole "I married a latina" schtick is a lil annoying. Some of its funny but it gets kinda old when "typical white ____ " makes its way into every part. The whole thing basically was that context. I call this. "casual viewing" bc its something I'd leave on TV while I'm folding laundry.

Not his best work, maybe because it's been chopped in order to be placed both on Netflix and YouTube, but you're still excited for him. Chris has a lot of heavy-hit jokes and can really rock a room, this special just didn't showcase it as much. Prime example that a comedian's likability matters, because I wasn't even upset at the result. Just excited to see him get better and better cause he's a great guy and naturally funny.

He really isn't good. Stand up is weak, obvious and he's so awkward on stage. Jokes are mildly amusing. How he has a career as a stand up is beyond me.

It's funny because I found out about this guy on Tom segura's and Bert kreisher's show and thought it was Chris d'elia at first; he talked about how no one wanted to buy his special and was just gonna do it regardless then put it on YouTube. I think it's kinda funny how he calls them all out, hbo, Hulu, Netflix and all, and Netflix changed their minds, bought it and still kept it in. I was kinda shocked that it's a little short at 36min but I like it. I don't want to say it but it just feels like a typical white guy comedy at first but it is funny. He seemed to wonder or try to wonder off into the edgy material content but never really commits to it here. I don't know if all his specials are like that. I love how he talks about how white guys are getting canceled and he's switching over, I loved that part. Every time I watch stand up specials I'm usually inclined to give it a 7 or 6/10 because I'm like ouu I like that, but you can't really give it a rating because humor is subjective and just depends on what you like. I just try listening to all sorts of comedy so you'll find me laughing at dry dad jokes at one moment, a girl complaining about their Frappuccino order getting messed up after spin class in the next moment and then later hear me laughing at distasteful jokes about dead babies or religion. I just think funny is funny. Chris distefano felt like white guy comedy but I still thought he was good at it and just didn't showcase what he's capable of. I mean you can tell, the specials name is speshy weshy and he calls the pandemic the "pandy wandy" and that just felt like white vibes I think.

Overall a good decent special, obviously comedy is always gonna be subjective. The people commenting below referring to bapa have more of an issue with the comedians he surrounds himself with. Chris has great story telling had me laughing out loud. Definitely has great potential and will most likely only get better.
