Simply A Masterpiece

Don't Believe the Hype

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I already was a fan of his show community and his music, so i decided to watch his stand up and... it was a m a z i n g, his story telling his delivery, his stand up isn't just unrelated joke after joke, he makes you care about his story with his amazing storytelling and i can guarantee you will laugh many times during this special. enjoy

This special with Donald Glover is actually one of the better stand-up routines I have seen for providing me with actual laughter rather than just being entertaining (Louie C.K., Daniel Tosh, Jim Gaffigan, Chris Rock). Donald Glover is a pretty great physical performer and has facial expression ability similar to Jim Carrey. A lot of the time, the biggest laughs actually come after the jokes. You might think that joke was not that funny, but Glover is able to save the joke after it is told. While Glover does deal with race for a few jokes, he deals with it in a much more unique way than many black comedians who really use a lot of stereotypical humor (Think Leslie Jones on SNL who is just dreadful).If you got 60 minutes to kill and want to laugh about 10-20 times, this should do the trick.The 5/10 rating is based on how much I laughed in terms of how many jokes were told. It was about 50/50. I have seen stand-up routines where I have laughed 95% of the time.

I guess I need this to be about ten lines, so I'll just write some filler content in order to have something of the appropriate length. Sometimes I take things too far, I guess, but sometimes I take them just far enough. Usually by writing exactly ten lines. Are you a fan of Izzy Abdus-Sabur? Are you a fan of comedy? Are you a fan of tales of babysitting, homeless people, race, and sex? Do you have an opinion on whether or not Spiderman could be black? If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, you should totally watch this comedy special. He makes so many jokes. It's hilarious. 10/10 would watch again.

With his unique brand of youthful storytelling Donald Glover brings down the house in his hysterical stand-up special Weirdo.Of course, most people know Donald Glover from "Community". They may know him from some Internet skits, or possibly his rap persona Childish Gambino, but it all more or less leads back to "Community". So it is great to see him branching out a bit.The comedy here is quite good, with the topic of race coming up without ever getting too heavy. Glover speaks to his generation in a way that Eddie Murphy or Bill Cosby never could. He does good voices, and also has more than his share of valuable insights. If he came through here, he would be a big hit.
