This has to be THE worst comedy "attempt" ever made and quite disappointing seeing a seasoned actor is behind this. It is so bad that I logged in to rate this garbage in the middle of the night coz I am that mad wasting an hour of my life. I think all the stand-ups used their worst jokes they have ever written, literally feels like they picked everything they threw in trash for this event. I waited and waited to laugh but in the end, I was just mostly grossed out - but that's typical of anything Seth Rogen anyways... fooled myself thinking this might be different or funny but nope. My advise, donate to their charity as it's a very noble cause but stay as far away from this garbage as possible.

As with many users reviewing on here, I'm a huge Seth Rogen fan and was optimistic for this charity event. Not even one of the skits or jokes landed, unfortunately, none of the comedians were especially amusing (some were especially annoying and unfunny), and Seth's dependence on * jokes was unrelentingly disappointing and juvenile for someone who masters even the crassest situational comedy. To boot, the animated portion of the show was just appalling. The special overall was a huge waste of time and marked the first time that I had ever used Netflix's "dislike" button. But, by goodness, if "Hilarity for Charity" didn't earn it.

What has happen to Hollywood??? I mean yeah they always had watered down ideas and cheesy production work but still they made stuff that was watchable. Now a days celebs think because they have some sort of name in the industry that anything they put out is worthy of even being on the market. This was downright terrible on every level. Seth Rogan, Jonah hill and actors of this nature for some reason are overly obsessed with * jokes. They are never funny and only stupid. The comedians were not even funny and I love tiffany haddish but her jokes all fell flat. This was a waste of time I skipped through most of it and ended up just turning it off all together. I expected a lot more from Seth SMH....

The only explanation for the 5/10 rating would be that an army of workers in some foreign sweat shop were voting this up - believable were it not for the fact Rogen only hires people sad enough to get high with him. I begun watching this as a last resort, and after skipping through the tragically misfiring jokes in the introduction I found myself in the middle of Rogen chuckling away at himself spinning off reams of - you guessed it - dick jokes. Don't get me wrong, dicks can be hilarious - they just need to have a funny human attached to them.

Every comedian was funny except Tiffany Haddish, (if she was even supposed to do some stand-up that night.) She was just obsessed with herself and talking about how she made it in the industry and met Beyonce. There were several jokes including a gross animated short cartoon. The Muppets were singing songs, which felt out of place. Jeff Goldblum's appearance was appreciated. Post Malone ended the show with a fantastic performance. The only part I'd watch again is Post Malone closing out the show.

I was shocked to see how many negative reviews this got, but I figured it out. This show isn't for a mature adult mind. If you like to get stoned and scour Netflix for the dirty stuff that make your sides hurt from laughter, this is gold. Also, there's an emotional part that lasts like 6 minutes.

I was really expecting to like it more. I love Seth Rogan. Pretty much all the movies he has been in were great. And it had so many big names in it. But it ended up not being all that funny. The stand ups were good for the most part. I liked that they weren't too political. These days we get too much comedy on that topic so I am always happy to see stand ups with other kind of jokes. I especially liked Micahel Che, Sarah Silverman (I am impressed how she even put in a joke relating the topic of the charity) and Tiffany Haddish. John Mulaney was also good but I didn't laugh too much with him. Michelle Wolfe pretty much sucked. The problem though is that stand ups were very short. And all the sketches in between were not funny at all. It seemed like they were just improvised and nobody bothered to edit them to make them funny. Even the ones including Sacha Barone Cohen and Jeff Goldblum left me unimpressed. Still it is a great cause. I am glad they added some information on Alzheimer's to it. Hope more people will donate because it is one of the scariest things one can expect in old age.

Penis jokes and weed jokes. Not to mention jokes featuring both of these things. Not funny at all. The guests don't really make it any better. Rick and Morty featurette was weak to say the least and Sacha Baron Cohen's David Attenborough impression just wasn't up to scratch either. Would not recommend it to anyone.
