Christina P.: Mom Genes

Hot take after hot take after typical social media comments section hot take. I lasted 8 1/2 minutes and I couldn't take it anymore. I have no faith that she gets better. People like this make me feel hopeless for our future. Oh, you can't beat your kids and people have food allergies? I'm so sorry that society is evolving without you, but our generation isn't better than the next. It's the same old tired jokes that everyone has about the generations that follow them and it's pathetic. Besides that she isn't even funny.

I will start this off by saying I thoroughly enjoyed Jeans' new special. We laughed, we cried and we called Brett Kershaw fat but you know what we didn't do? We didn't drink enough water! Tina took one Yorkie sip at the front end and discarded that full water bottle the way Bart discards a diet. Sure you hate your mom suuure young boys are animals suuuuure Brad Kreischinger is fat...we know all this, but you know what we don't know??? IS MOMMY PROPERLY HYDRATED! This is just another example of Stolen Valor and I'm calling for a full review from the water board to challenge your claim to "WATER CHAMP" and to seek a more appropriate title perhaps "Water Enthusiast"? I don't know, this isn't up to me, this is in gods hands now. Much Love, no Hate.

Never heard of her...until tonight!😊 She really resonated with me. I laughed out loud...& also cried. She is an amazing talent & my new favorite comedian!! YOU GO GIRL!!💃🏼

Unfortunately, it's simply not funny. In stand up, making fun of others works only when it's actually funny. Here, it feels like she is saying things for lukewarm shock value, but it simply doesn't make you laugh.

Here's the deal man, is it the greatest special, no. There are moments that are high and tight, as well as low and loose. But listen Julia, I'm a loyal mommy and I can't double pipe classic all over it... Family is Family...just let me eat ya!

This was just really not funny. Didn't give any time for jokes to breathe, felt like the same joke over and over, the whole trope honestly just feels played out. Whole outfit and hair really aged her, not sure if that's what they were going for with the whole 80s thing. Knowing Christina mainly through podcast, some of these jokes felt like they weren't even written by her. Christina is SO much funnier on her podcast.

Lots of hack jokes about people in the 80s were tough and kids today are soft. It's like people forgot how ridiculous our folks were when their walk to school was uphill both ways.

I love YMH and have watched all of Christina specials, this is the worst one yet. She goes on about how toxic her parents are/were without the slightest realization she's just as toxic. Makes jokes about nut allergies, people being poor, etc. She's just punching down. It's not clever, it's not well written, and most importantly for a comedy special, it's not funny. I still love the podcast but I think this is the last Christina P special I will be watching.

It's the same Christina P schtick you've come to know and love, so if that's your thing, you may enjoy it. Just felt a little stale to me. The "Big Bad Gen Xer" who is too tough for feelings and has mom problems is just not doing it for me. If you want genuine Christina P humor, watch the podcast. She's so much funnier improvising than in her standup.
