The Shark Deck. I’m Jenny Mack with your Daily Comedy. He was very, very robust episode today and the last thing I’m gonna going to do and I’m trying to figure out how to do it. It’s a massive spoiler for a television show. But as soon as I tell you what show it is, you’re gonna be like, oh, I know what they did there.
I’ll warn you. But if you don’t want to be spoiled for any TV shows at all, how about I’ll do that. I’ll tell you all right, jump out now, we’ll do that. On Saturday, Dave Bautista, you know him as a UFC fighter, you know him from Guardians of the Galaxy. He announced a new Netflix comedy special.
It’s called I’ve never done this before. Let’s listen. Never done stand up comedy before, but Netflix paid me ten million dollars shown no interrupting cal move so at the end, but Stick gets heckled and he drags the heckler on stage and beats the guy up. What kind of comedy special is this? It was an April Fool’s joke, well done, especially with the production values on the Instagram joke.
Love it. Dave batistat Now let me ask you, could you actually make it?
Meanwhile, for reels, we have a new number one special.
I have watched Kyle Canaane’s new special on YouTube. Yes, I complained about the fifteen commercial breaks, and they did get annoying after a while, but I kept the remote in my hand. Kyle Canaane’s new special top special of the year. Let’s do a quick listen because a lot of it’s naughty and I can’t play too much of it. Said thank you for your service to a lift driver, more than I’ve ever said to anybody an actual military unifle.
As you could tell, I enjoyed the entire hour and a very strong closer. Kyle Canaine, well done. Currently number one. Do you want the updated rankings? Sure?
Why not? I haven’t even updated my document here. You can hear me type okay l E space ki n A n E. That moves Nate Bergatsi’s Hello World down to number two. Jay McBride now number three, Jim Jeffries number four.
Embargoed special that I’ve already seen is number five. What’s that? Johnny mac Oh? Yeah, I got a screener, but it ain’t out yet, and I’ve seen it. It’s number five.
It’s not quite as good as Jim Jeffrees and it’s a little better than Chris Rocket. Number six, who is it? You’ll find out as soon as I can tell you. And number seven the roast of mister Peanut. I know you think I’m insane when I say that.
Why don’t you go on YouTube and look at the roast of mister Peanut and you will see it is quite funny. I also watched May Martin special. It wasn’t feeling it. I tried. I got into it and I’m like, this is going nowhere for me.
If you like it awesome wasn’t for me, and then I skipped ahead because they knew they had addressed Dave’s Chappelle by name, and I’m like, all right, let me see what that part is. And it didn’t land for me. I was like, all right, you mentioned Dave and Ricky Gervais my name and not feeling it. The Last Laugh podcast caught up with May Martin and asked May about name checking Chappelle and Jervaise. May said, and I think this is better done than what’s in the special.
May said, I find it really mind boggling that these people that I grew up being such a fan of and who seem like these cool left wing warriors and counterculture people. I can’t really wrap my head around why they’re so fixated on, particularly trans women. But also I mean, when Chapelle got attacked on stage and the first thing he said was that was a trans man, I was like, what is happening? I find it really confusing, and it’s so personal to me and so much of my fan base as young queer people. So I’m always quite starkly confronted with these statistics.
At how at risk that community is. I don’t understand it. It’s such an at risk minority group. I don’t really know why there isn’t more uproar about publicly targeting them when the consequences are so obvious.
And then of course the comedians themselves complain about the consequences t…
Didn’t Louis C.K. Win a Grammy a couple of years ago. It’s crazy, but maybe it’ll swing back the other day. I don’t think Louis C.K. Did trans jokes.
He got in trouble for something else. But I digress. It’s crazy, but maybe to swing back the other way. And I would love it if those people were just a little more informed or open to learning, because some of the things they’re saying are demonstrably untrue. They’re scientifically not true.
Of course, freedom of speech is so crucial, but I don’t think you’ll be able to say things that are not true that are drumming up hate and violence. Big Jay Okerson Special Now. I thought it was coming out April fifth. The trailer says April fifth. The left button says out today.
Maybe they mean midnight tonight. I don’t know, but either today or tomorrow you’ll have a Big Jay Okerson on YouTube. I have not been able to find any reviews of the Roast of Bert Kreisher, and despite my jokes about sitting in the basement, I did not watch the Roast of Bert Kreisher. The trailer looks honestly to me, unwashable, like just trashy. The only discussion I’m finding of it is on Reddit, so from the subreddit your Mom’s House Podcast.
Some of the comments one the ending was so odd. It ends with everyone dancing on stage. But Keshin I Carly are also there. Somebody said, yeah, I got oddly awkward and uncomfortable. I’m surprised Whitney kept that in.
Another person wrote Whitney shoehorning in her gen Z friends, to which someone retorted, neither of those two I mentioned or gen Z. Yeah, Kesh’s close it to forty and Miranda’s in or her early thirties. All right, whatever. Next thread, the editing is so choppy. Yeah, it was terrible.
By watching Burt’s glass, you could tell they definitely edited out a lot. Next thread. I didn’t hate it as much as I thought I would. Everyone had something I chuckled out, but that last fifteen minutes was effing rough and the editing was awful. A different thread was found in the stand up sub credits.
Some of the comments I tried watching. I like hearing good comics trash talk, but after the first five minutes I couldn’t stand Burt with his screeching fully miked totally ruined Jim Norton set, which was good. I just couldn’t stand listening to that squeal. Another comments about the editing. The editing was effing awful, to the point that it was distracting.
Norton and Tony did well. The rest were nothing special. When more, this was a disappointing fifty minutes of comedic content. All right, Burt Kreisher, backlash has absolutely started seeing a lot of it. Luis c K emailed his fan base over the weekend and Louis C.K.
At the Dolby, which you could purchase now for streaming and download at Louis C.K. Dot com for ten dollars. Although I said streaming, it actually says steaming. Perhaps a joke, perhaps a typo. Louis C.K.
Writes, Luis c K at the Dolbey includes a lot of material that I performed for the live stream from MSG back to the Garden, But it also includes fourteen minutes of new jokes that I didn’t do on that show, including a totally different closing piece of stuff. At the end, he pull like some other things, and then he writes, go here to buy Louis C.K. At the Dolbey now for ten bucks. Go to the Salt Lick in Austin, Texas. If you want good barbecue, go to France.
If you like French things from France, go to church. I feel like Jesus. Go to the basement if you need to feed Geralds, go to something else. If you want a thing. Thank you.
You’re a comedian, Louis c. K And did you watch Saturday Night Live reasonably funny episode? I laughed a couple of times, But did you see the news? So I was watching the news and I’m like, oh my god, Colin is bombing.
And then Jay got a couple of laughs.
They went back to Colin, and I’m thinking to myself, this audience is awful, not laughing at anything. Then somebody from the audience yelled out, you stink. At that point, Michael Jay revealed it was an April fool’s joke. Michael Jay had sold the audience not to laugh at any of College Jost jokes. The audience they played along, they did not laugh.
Jost was wondering if his mic wasn’t working. After the reveal, Shade sawd Jost, don’t worry, they’ll probably laugh at the next joke. Jost was visibly not shaken, but like he had the giggles and had trouble getting through the jokes, and then turned to Jay and said, that’s the meanest thing you’ve ever done. I’m covered in sweat. The laugh button found on another subrett it’s subreate a day here in Daily Comedy News.
This subrett it live from New York. User l sat Prepper two was at the taping and said, can confirm it was all legit. So we’re waiting in a room that his beers and soft drinks and water, and there’s a DJ playing sick music. Before we’re called for seating, Jay comes up to us sing he wants to play an April Fool’s joke, something that’s he had to be done on SNL.
And then he says, when Jost is on, we can’t laugh.
There was one small section at laugh and the rest of us were dead silent. The crowd erupted and laughter Jay and Jose was like, huh, it was really funny. When he cut on the U stink sounded like it came from the audience as far as I’m aware. When we cheered for him, he told us to not even dare, and that made people crack up hard. Everyone couldn’t stop laughing for a while.
I feel quite fortunate to have been part of this audience at ten out of ten amazing experience. I feel like what I do here, go to buy meacoffee dot com. Slash Daily Comedy News. And what are you gonna do there? You’re gonna buy me a coffee?
How do you do that? You can do a one time donation five bucks. You can join the two dollar club. That’s a two dollar monthly recurring thing. There are other priced heres.
I’ll shout you out. I’ll get a coffee from myself. Buy me a coffee. Dot com slash Daily Comedy News. Hey and Adam Sailor controversy.
Yes, CNN and Kennedy Centers show stripped of Trump jokes. Comics miffed from The New York Post, they say, we hear there was chatter backstage on March nineteenth that the Kennedy Center that CNN plans to be quote all over everyone’s unquote political gags. They heard that Chris Rock joked that it was romantic that Donald Trump allegedly paid porn star Stormy Daniels hush money so that his wife Mali Annia wouldn’t find out about their fling. That joke apparently taken out of the special. Chris Rock not pleased with the omission.
Deana Carvey impersonated Donald Trump and made jokes about Nancy Pelosi. Those jokes two disappeared. CNN says the jokes were cut out for time. You know, so the live show could be slashed by an hour to fit into its broadcast lot. Uh huh, yump m right.
Meanwhile, some reviews of Adam Sandler’s new movie, Murder Mystery two. Longtime listeners of the podcast know how much I enjoy a good Adam Sandler movie. Well, The Guardian gave Murder Mystery two one star. It’s not one star out of one. I don’t know how many it’s out of.
I think it’s out of five. But even if it’s out of two, that wouldn’t be a good review. I’ll spare you the details, but they say this crime caper has a certain frenzied energy, but it’s sloppily plotted, crass and so dumb you wouldn’t trust it to use cutlery unsupervised. Wow. The Hollywood Reporters headline was Murder Mystery two review Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anniston in Netflix sequel that lea there’s no room for laughs.
This film brings back the goofy dufus Adam Sandler that audiences can’t seem to get enough of. In the sort of harmlessly mindless comic vehicle that goes very well with takeout Chinese or pizza on a Saturday night. It’s also user friendly enough to clock in at a breezy hour and a half. Adam Sandler’s net worth estimated at four and twenty million dollars. I’m in the basement recording a podcast.
Artist Hub caught the Best of Comedy Zone Asia at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and they wrote, using the superlative best to describe any art form as problematic and this includes the inexact science of trying to make people laugh. Best of Comedy z Own Asia offers up five comedians. The quality of the delivery and the content of this mixed platter is mixed, with some jokes landing solidly while others not so definly. My mind froze on mixed platter? Is that some sort of food related Asian joke?
It’s not thought out or is that just a phrase they use in Australia Move On. Because of the pandemic causing disruption and postpone of touring, many performers were denied an audience and this makes blain why some of the material in the show feels a bit untested. That’s not good. Nonetheless, there are some good chuckles to be had from each comic because they range widely in topics, from the responsibilities of and detours from being a good Muslim and being raised in conservative Indonesia to the generation gaps between mother and daughter, the joys of new fatherhood, greati of centsorship in India, and the rivalry between Singapore and Malaysia. If you don’t want to commit to one unknown comedian for an hour, it’s prudent to see a collective show such as this one.
I agree. I’m pulling up the schedule on the world’s slowest loading website. That is, of course, the website for the Milburn International Comedy Festival. It’s still loading as I killed time here. Why don’t you edit this out, Johnny Mac, because that’s not fun?
Still loading, still loading Eventually, I will tell you who’s playing on Wednesday.
Now here’s an interesting fun fact.
Remember last week I couldn’t get one of the days to load. That happened again on the Safari browser, so I switched to Chrome and the Milburn International Comedy Festival website loads more quickly on Chrome. Do they not have Apple devices in Australia. I digress. Let’s see who’s playing on Wednesday night the class Clowns at National Grand Final.
Big Haughty title there. The search is on for Australia’s Funniest Teens, Australia’s National Secondary School Comedy competition and Kurch’s Talented Teenagers to unleash their comic voice through stand up, sketch, musical or physical comedy ninety minutes show at one in the afternoon. I wonder what the audience is like for these daytime shows. I mean, this thing starts so early. Ri l Jarn’s Return of the icelandic Oh, and it says play clip.
Maybe I should just do the play clip ones. You want to hear a clip? I want to hear a clip. We all have names that means something in my country. My brother’s name is Ulvus, it means wolf.
My girlfriend’s name is Linda, it means internet. We all have names that means something. For those of you who don’t know much about Iceland, I’ll tell you some facts. There’s three hundred and forty thousand people who live in Iceland. That’s it.
That’s the population. You know a country is small when you ask about the population and you get a number that include it’s tens of thousands of people, like you can’t even do like a rough estimate, well, three hundred thousand. No, no, don’t forget those forty thousand. That’s that’s one eleventh of the population. The society would collapse without those forty thousand people in.
Our main exports are fish and disappointment. We are pretty small economy, but we don’t have strength in numbers, but we do have it in statistics. We say we’re the best in the world per capita. Iceland’s biggest comedy star and first ever Netflix star returns to the festival. Expect Nordic observations on drumbeats, sleep, Parented, and much more.
Here’s another play clip one. Dean Simpson always was, always will be funny. Dean comes from a long line of funny buggers, a wise cracking deat, a cleverly cutting mum, hilarious grandparents, and generations of jokers, pranksters and yarn spinners. I’m Aboriginal, by the way. I know that I’d say that I’m not Indian, stop like I say it all the time.
But yet there’s still people in this crowd looking at me like I think he’d drive us heat. I didn’t come. I LARROI that’s my mom, that’s mom, that’s my people. I remember as a kid, my dad would take me out and would just do black fellow stuff. Right.
We would go ahead into the bush. We’d eat fruit, we’d eat berries, we’d eat nuts, we’d eat spam. Dad wasn’t a good hunter. The Adelaide Advertiser gave it four stars and said, Simpson is hilarious. You can elaborate a little.
All right, I’m going to spoil the hell out of a TV show. I can’t even say what show it is first because once I say the show, you’re gonna be like, oh, I know what it is. Okay. So anybody who doesn’t want to be spoiled for any TV show at all, get out. Now see you tomorrow.
Three two one all right, you’re still here. Now, I’m gonna tell you the name of the show. You have been warned. Are you ready? I’m about to spoil Party Down?
Three two one? Right, you’re still here. I’m gonna tell you what happened. Now. Once I said Party Down, you’re like, ah, I got that figured out.
Yeah, no surprise, Lizzie Kaplan did appear in the season finale. Yes, there wasn’t no way they were bringing Party Down Back without Lizziekaplan showing up. That just wasn’t gonna happen. I get she was busy, but of course she was going to show up. So her character Casey is doing a Pruss jucket for her show, The Stabilizer.
She goes in the back to grab a beverage. She sees Henry, that’s her love interest from the series from ten years ago. We see they’re still attracted to each other. The pr guy comes to get Casey to go do stuff on stage or whatever. As Casey starts to leave, she gives Henry a warm hug with a secret on the side.
She’s planning on quitting her show. Yes, is she going to leave a hit TV show to become a caterer In the upcoming season, we’ll see if they bring Party Down Back. It seemed like it a good buzz. Although being on the Starters is a channel, I don’t know if anybody actually watched it other than people who review things. I haven’t seen it yet.
One day I was going to sign in for free try and then cancel and I’m like, why don’t you wait until all eight episodes are up and then do it? So maybe I’ll do that this week.
