How sad is this?

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I never heard about Aziz Ansari before finding this standup comedy special on Netflix. Despite being unfamiliar with the performer, I decided to give it a go. It could be that I had been missing out of a sheer comedy genius...And must say that he was off to a great start. However, it was somewhat of a swing and a miss for me, because his particular comedy and jokes were not falling into my particular taste or interest.Aziz Ansari was definitely good on the stage and had lots of energy and presence, but there just wasn't enough laughs in the entire show for keeping me amused and entertained, so I was starting to drift after the first 10-15 minutes or so.

I don't get the hype. This stand-up was terrible and felt terribly manufactured. Didn't find it funny at all.

I genuinely don't understand what people find amusing about this person's attempt to be a comedian or an actor. On the logic that selling out Madison Square Garden might lend to a decent show, my wife and I really tried to watch this performance. After 10 minutes of listening to him just talk, it was apparent to us that there was nothing in this show that could considered clever or witty, so we found something else to watch. It felt like he was simply riding the fame that he garnished from his exceptionally unnecessary character in the "Parks and Recreation" television show.

Not sure what this guy's appeal is or where all the hype is from (he apparently sold out Madison Square Garden so he must have a pretty large fan base) but I did not find him funny at all, at least not based on this television special. He has other, earlier television specials so I'm assuming they are probably a lot better as they are higher rated here on IMDb.Perhaps it's just a question of him running out of material after using all his best bits in the earlier specials? I'm not sure what the reason is but this one hour special did not make me laugh even once, or even smile one time.A lot of the jokes aren't just bad they're predictable or "re-hashed". How many times do we need to hear jokes about how nobody likes vegetables but bacon is amazing? He seriously did like five or ten minutes on that, including a meat vs. vegetables basketball game act out that made no sense at all.Yawn.
