Interested to see how this turns out. Netflix's stand-up specials have been all over the place recently. From bad (Schumer) to good (Norton) to underwhelming (Burr).

So far so good. Hit a lul with his oscar bit, but brought it back with OJ story #2.

For those of you familiar with cracked.com, random Michael Swaim audience cameo at 24:50.

The trans material that got him into a bit of trouble is halfway through the first special.

As expected, the terminally offended blogger who reported these "disgusting jokes" failed to communicate the point or the tone.

So much for Dave the bigot.

What is the point then? I have seen some transphobic material from him. He often uses the term 'tranny' too.

This particular bit is the one that got him in trouble.

He talks about how he was schooled on LGBT rights by a friend of his wife and segues into how he was impressed by how accepting the media was of Caitlyn Jenner's transition. He then jokes that he was jealous as a black man, because while trans people have the "toughest road ahead", he wondered how they started to beat black people in the "prejudice special olympics" and went on to do a ridiculous mime about black people in the hood wearing pumps for safety.

To read it in print you'd think he went on some kind of diatribe, but no, this is an absurdist bit of comedy clearly not meant to be his personal TED talk on his feelings towards the trans community. And it's obvious to anyone who isn't going out of their way to misconstrue or take him out of context.

He doesn't use that slur here, but in the safe space that is a comedy show, it's context not content that should be offensive. Ask him about Carlin using the N-word and see if he thinks that's offensive. I guarantee you it's a "no".

Just finished watching. The Oscar part was the only part that stood out. It just wasn't very good and took too much time to set up for some okay punchlines.

My favorite bit was just a throwaway line

Imagine if Making a Murderer was about a black guy. They'd call it DUUUUUUUUUH

Had to pause on that one lol. I'll watch the second one tomorrow. Overall pretty good. Kevin Hart bit was great.

Yo I spot a Tyler Malka in the second special in the front row...

Also that one line about female gynecologist saying the word pussy, had me in tears. That clicking sound he made!

Pretty funny in general but... he gets some shit on his shoes and it doesn't really pay off.

Those gay jokes were straight out of the 90's.

lol at all the discrimination Olympics

"You know how much money you need to have to tell a girl to shut the fuck up? I have 'Quiet, please' money at best. I'd have to take a loan out for 'Shut the fuck up'. 'Shut the fuck up', that's Jay Z money. And Beyonce got 'No, you shut the fuck up' money."

Haha
