Not really.

The charge was “exploiting pregnancy for a comedy special.” Which is just ridiculous.

The second half wouldn’t exist without the first, and I think it was exactly the right level of funny to fit the tone of the special. I enjoyed them, but I think her “real” bits intentionally dampened the comedy. The second half strikes me as a new development, and I’d be surprised if she performed this exact piece…

Yeah, that doesn’t happen. Unless of course, you come into a post treating a serious issue with some kind of flippant dismissive joke. You know, the kind of thing that tends to get an eyeroll in response.

Fuck ANY "both sides" argument, it's wrong and dangerous and you know it. 

You rang?

I like their strategy of “Hey calm down” when asked a perfectly reasonable question.  Don’t bother with that chucklefuck.

Are you a Gen Xer, or are you a. Millennial who emulates Gen Xers because he thinks that makes him "edgy"? 

Yup, definitely a misogynist. 

100% guaranteed to include transmisogyny

Yeah! Everyone knows pregnant women aren’t allowed to be on stage all making jokes and stuff!

Funny how when trans people ask for the same courtesy, you don’t seem to have time for it.

It’s more one-person-show than it is a comedy special. People are getting angry that it’s not “funny” when she herself says it’s not supposed to be.

I’m a lesbian, if you didn’t notice. The thing about being a lesbian is...

Let’s say all of that is true — does it make it okay to vote for the guy putting toddlers in jail?

The tolerant left? Those classic lib groups, like the KKK or Proud Boys? Or maybe the Evangelicals? Or Jeff Sessions, a man who was so super left, he was deemed unfit to be appointed to the district court of Alabama.

Nanette is one of the best stand-up shows of this generation and I can’t for the life of me understand its detractors.

Found Nanette to be one of the best things I’ve watched in a long time. Definitely don’t go into it expecting a comedy special, though there are a few big laughs. Mostly, it’s a deconstruction of the form, and then a searing examination of herself and society. Totally caught me off guard, in the best possible way.

I had Chinese, Taiwanese, and Japanese friends growing up. They all agreed - Koreans are the worst. So this is an actual thing and my friends weren't uniquely racist? Just the regular kind?
