Tired, lame, hack stuff we've heard before, including a joke he did in his 2009 special that is exactly the same as before, and featuring awkward quiet lulls where you can tell he was expecting big laughs, and some pretty sad examples of pandering for cheap applause, but no real funniness to be found. It's such a rehash and, of course, the cancel culture stuff that is just so incredibly lame at this point, we realized quite a while ago that comedians that have been so-called cancelled for something they've said have only become more popular and had their careers helped immensely by it. A great example of this is the brilliant and hilarious Shane Gillis, another is Tony Hinchcliffe, it's become a pretty regular thing that factors greatly in terms of the popularity and success of many good and bad comedians ... and the biggest example of all ... is Joe. But he's still talking about it as if it's this big threat that he's crusading against... a rebellious hero fighting for free speech ... No, not even close. In reality, what we're watching is a retread of already used up lame material being presented in a way that seems to insist on it being funny when it isn't, I've really never seen delivery and timing like this ... pauses for laughter that isn't there, it's hard to describe how awkward it gets at times. And the pandering is just so obvious and puts a level of tackiness on top of everything else. Just sad, and it's really so much better to watch the podcast for real laughs ... usually more of an "at him" than "with him" situation, but laughs are laughs.
