Takes itself way too seriously

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

This special is primarily musical comedy, which tends towards repetition and strained rhyme schemes, but I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. For fans of Whitest Kids U Know, it is familiar territory. For those who are not, I recommend a quick YouTube search. Trevor Moore is the high school stoner who never grew up but actually worked hard and became a successful comedian. His comedy is equal parts self deprecating and irreverent, but not at all misanthropic at its heart. At times he delivers exceedingly biting and clever lines in a happy, oblivious tone, and at other times dumb stoner jokes in a dark, serious tone. I burst out laughing quite a bit, mostly in the first half or so, but I stayed entertained throughout. Trevor is no Rich Pryor but he's worked on his chops as a solo act since WKUK and Miss March.

A whole hour of this Central Comedy special gave me exactly 2 very short laughs and maybe 2 or 3 smiles. It's all pretty much pre-recorded silly songs trying to be satirically criticizing common social and political issues. The problem is: it's very, very boring, at best. But anyway the thing that seriously bothered me was the use of a 10 year old girl who sings about decapitating the president and congress and later on have that girl dance along with two young women in bikinis. I'm all for UN-politically-correct; I love off-color comedy in all types and forms but there are lines that you don't cross. In my corner of the world, this show is part of a series labeled Comedy Central Stand-Up Special. So far, I loved Sara Silverman and a couple other performers whose names elude me at the moment. All the previous shows were filled with politically incorrect jokes and sketches but this Trevor Moore show just doesn't fit in nor it is worth your time.
