Honestly, I am not going into how he has no punchlines or how unfunny this is. I am just literally going to tell you not to bother with this embarrassing comedy special. One of the worst things I've ever seen

It really is that bad.
I asked for terrible standup special in a Facebook group and this one came up the most.
I can't watch anything else recommended there because this was too draining.
I wanted to see what bad standup looked like, and I got it.
So many blatant humble brags, so many desperate shoutouts to famous people he knows, and near endless weird flexes.
The jokes are lacklustre all the way through, the opening is bafflingly bad, Schaub looks uncomfortable and nervous for much of the special, and overall, I couldn't wait for it to end.
The crowd is barely laughing at many jokes by the end of it too.
Just avoid. Avoid at all costs.
So bad it's good doesn't seem to apply to standup, unless you just want to punish yourself.

Save yourself, avoid at all costs!
There are no words to do justice to how bad this is.
All adjectives fall short.
Do literally anything rather than watch this pile of warm excrement.
If not for his bromance with Rogan it would never have seen the light of day.
Bapa's special isn't even worth the hard drive space.
