فيلم جيد!

Not a very funny show to watch. Like another reviewer said, it falls flat. Just don't find SM funny.

This is my second time to watch the show. It's so funny to me and maybe not everyone else. It's relatable to me because I have immigrant parents and I lived in an intense household. So some of the stories and the things he says from his dad's experiences makes me laugh because I've been there too. It's also fairly clean in terms of language and content that's very rare. It's fun to watch.

Sebastian hits the nail on the head on all accounts. His realistic stories, energy, and way of describing incidents that happen in our lives everyday is fabulous! I laughed start to finish, as usual!

I am a huge fan of Sebastian! Coming from Greece which is not that far from Sicily, I always find many similarities in my family and his stories and the way he tells them always is funny to me. I watched this three times. In this one, I laughed the least in comparison to his other specials. Maybe the repetition of the same issues of his material (family and annoying behaviours of people, which is not that bad really), lack of very entertaining new jokes or a little of nervousness he felt more in that, doing a special in front of New Yorkers in probably the mecca of entertainment. I don't know. But it surely feels it lacks the freshness and delivery of his first specials. Despite that, as a huge fan I enjoyed it quite a lot, for example the part with his wife scratching his car and the body shop...actors.

I saw Sebastian on the Stay Hungry tour in Las Vegas and literally laughed nonstop for 90 minutes. This special was way too edited. It cut so many of the bits short and a lot of the big laughs were lost because of it. The special was a bit disappointing but it was more because of how it was chopped up rather than the material not being funny. Gave it an 8 because of how much I laughed seeing this show live.

I cut it off after 5 minutes. There were no jokes, just a guy talking. It's like listening to someone else's conversation except there's no one on the other end. Just a guy, overly animated, telling stories to a wall. Stories of things that happened in his life. No punch lines or funny turns. Just, "People bring exotic animals on planes nowadays... ha ha ha." And, "I was with my dad today, he kept calling me 'Biggie Shot' because I'm famous now. Ha ha ha." The only entertainment you might get is from his overly dramatic retellings. It's as though he wants to recreate Dane Cook but the stories themselves are not interesting. You'll find more humor in less time by asking a stranger how their day went...

The first half or so was excellent for the most part, but it runs out of steam towards the end. Still worth watching, though.

After reading the other reviews I was hesitant to watch. Luckily this was one of the funniest specials I've seen since his other one "Aren't You Embarrassed?". I definitely recommend it if you enjoy his humor. His faces and movements compliment the jokes perfectly. I laughed until it hurt!
