Whenever I'm watching comedians for the first time, I find I'm often waiting for the other shoe to drop. When are they going to crack that out-of-touch, offensive, or just terrible bomb of a joke?
I did not expect shoes to drop with Michelle; I enjoyed Nice Lady, I enjoyed her Netflix show, I enjoyed her press correspondence dinner. This stand-up, for whatever reason, Michelle didn't exactly drop some shoes, she just kinda cracked some jokes that didn't need to be cracked.
The opener joke, for example, goes into assault, and how we need to blur the lines for what counts as it for animals versus humans. The joke ends with her holding down an animal against their will while another animal mates with it while everyone laughs... okay.
Another joke details how she prefers massages from illegal immigrants since their massages are angrier for having to do their job for her benefit.
Then there's the joke about how the "woke" crowd needs to "go back to sleep" for they are benefiting off the slave labor of their iPhones... I guess that's how criticism works, eh? Can't criticize something you have little choice but to participate in?
The rest of the special is alright, she cracks some other tried and true jokes, makes some good observations about sexism and gender equality, but by the end, I was worried. And it didn't help she then went onto Rogan's show and was making some kinda comments less than ten minutes in about Chinese people.
Punch up, Michelle. Like maybe at gullible, upper class women who get into crystals and goop.
