Hell yeah! Can't wait to watch this. Sticks and Stones was awesome.

It wasn’t, but it was still enjoyable. When he was telling to Daphne story, I had a feeling that she died because he had mentioned her before, but didn’t go on about it.
Had some really good commentary about the LGBTQ community and cancel culture that I completely agreed with. White jokes got old after a while to the point that it felt like filler to kill some time.

I enjoyed it, mostly because I enjoy listening to how Dave expresses his opinions by story and how well he tells those stories, whether I agree with those opinions or not. He's in my top 5 favorite comedians, but its mostly because of his earlier work and the Chapelle show. This one was definitely not his best work as far as funny goes, but I still enjoyed it.

Not his best all around. It wasn't particularly "funny" throughout, but I find myself always enjoying listening to Dave talk and tell jokes, even if they don't land.
The jokes in this one felt like really low-hanging fruit. Like there weren't many punchlines that hit with me, and they all felt sort of lazy. And Dave isn't usually like that. And I do find some of his comparisons a bit short-sighted at times (like comparing Bruce Jenner changing his gender to Cassius Clay changing his name...those aren't really comparable at all, and are about 45 years apart and the gender hysteria didn't really exist back then).
But that being said, I enjoy listening to him tell his stories and jokes, so I still enjoyed it well enough. I'm a little disappointed that he seems to have given in to the LBGT people a little though. Even though he still got his jabs in and called them out for cancel culture, it felt like he was giving up so to speak.

I don't think that he's given into them, but perhaps the death of Daphne made him change his stance a bit. I feel like he does need to move on though, especially after this special. He said what he needed to say and made his point.

I saw this material back in December at his show. My first COVID test 
Curious what he changed, but the comments are about what I expected people's reaction would be.

Watching that tonight for sure. Critics hate it, so I’m sure it’s great like Sticks and Stones.

3-4 laugh hard, pause, call wife in room to hear the joke moments. I enjoyed it personally.
Posted on 10/6/21 at 11:24 am to LSUFan8719
I watched it last night. I wasn't all that impressed. Honestly, his brand of race jokes and lgbtq jokes has grown stale.
Posted on 10/6/21 at 11:58 am to LSUFan8719
His worst work. Not enjoyable and barely any laughs. We don’t need a lecture.

They would be if Bruce was changing his name to Dick Les.

I thought it was terrible but that's me. Maybe others liked it but the gay/trans crap is exhausting and material has been exhausted.

Did he make the Transylvania joke?
We were right next to the stage when that went over everyone's head with little reaction, but my friend died laughing. Dave was very pleased my friend enjoyed it so much.
