  It's Marlon Wayans. You know what you get. If you like him, you'll most likely love this. He's on point and over the top in a way that makes you laugh so hard you feel your lungs are about to pop. He has excellent variation and none of the bits feels too long, and I hope he makes more specials like this, cuz he is truly hilarious.

• Marlons best work yet!

  pattie_cakes2018-03-14

  Laughs laughs laughs. Marlon makes you laugh after almost every joke from his first stand up. There are some serious topics he covers yet he somehow makes you laugh about it because of his silly ways of explaining and acting them out. Sexual orientation, black history, and family. There are even references from some of his movies which fit so well into his act. It's great. If you like Marlon you will like his stand up. His facial expressions and overall stature are half of the comedy that he brings to this special. I wasn't sure how it would be because some of his movies seem to fall flat. But I was not disappointed with this hilarious special that keeps you laughing until the end.

• Hilarious show...

  I found this on Netflix, but I must admit that I had little expectations to it. Why? Well, because I can't claim to be much of a fan of Marlon Wayans from his movie track record. But still, I decided to give this a go, as it is a stand-up comedy show. And color me impressed. I must admit that this was actually a blast to watch, and Marlon Wayans was rather funny on stage. It was a very funny show, and he felt naturally at home on the stage doing stand-up comedy. I enjoyed his particular sense of humor and I was thoroughly entertained throughout the entire show. His jokes are varied and deals with different topics, which I found to be good. Especially since a bunch of stand-up comedians tend to stick to below-the-belt jokes which become repetitive and annoying rather quickly. If you haven't already seen "Marlon Wayans: Woke-ish", then I can definitely recommend that you do so, because it definitely put Marlon Wayans in a new light for me.

• Meh...

  This is the first time i heard of Marlon Wayans, but i will make sure to remember his name so i can avoid watching his work in the future. The first few minutes were actually quite ok, but it didnt take long till i he got into the typical cliches eeeeevery stand-up on netflix seems to talk about these days. The word niqqer, bad rap music, trump, obama, bla... At the same time he actually manages to copy pretty much every contemporary comedian on the stage today and especially rips of Chris Rock several times. A weak show for people who can laugh just about anything.

• Rides the closing of the race gap, but embraces child gender mutilation

  shide_852019-03-19

  This isn't good, but it isn't bad either - but do NOT exspect an 8-10 rated session or you will get disappointed. There are few if any laugh out lout moments, but its still enjoyable at points as the assertions he draws and the comparisons he makes. He pulls alot from his own life as many comedians do, especially in one or more of their specials but he overfocuses on insights and positivety and in doing so often misses finishing setups and build ups with a good enough punchline. I'd say he's inbetween the a and b lineup of comedians quite clearly, nowhere near the best ones but neither close to the worst either. If you keep that in mind you might enjoy it. I did, until he spoke up FOR gender mutilation of children. I detracted one star for that. -Its late in this special if you want to find that alone, in the last 1/4th or so. In fairness he does try to focus on positivety and positive change throughout it, it is quite family friendly (though there is some swearing and some adult language that Ive come to understood those in USA might frown upon).
