Now entering; Kevin James irregardless
A stand up comedy show that revels a major tell about Kevin James, he should stick to slap stick. Kevin James irregardless is filled with Back in the day ideologies surrounding whipping children and with the finally being a angry rant about his wife.
It amazed me how he managed to fill an hour of unfunny stories about his family and child hood. It was understandable that he wanted his kids to get out more and play less video games, we could all use some activity.
This was certainly plenty area of disagreement for me, as a gen x myself I grew up around these boomers and their visions of demons taking over children's minds, spawning from some spell cast during a D&D campaign or demon voices from playing records backwards.
It would be comical if it wasn't true, but during the 80’s Panic was abound over idiotic crap from music, to video games, and fantasy board games.
So it comes as no surprise Kevin James dislikes technologies he cant understand. Nor is it any surprise he prefers to “whip” children, over less abusive discipline measures. Yes, it may work, and it may even be what "some" children respond best to, but that however doesn't mean it should be the standard.
The entire thing was a rollercoaster ride of waiting for a good joke. I spent more time rolling my eyes at the obvious outdated points of view. He can certainly have whatever views he wants, but that don't make it funny.
The apparent disdain towards his wife speaking her mind in this “comedy” show, caught me off guard. He goes on an entire rant at the end of the show. Astounding to see what should have a minor jab turned into a full on spew of anger. Whatever the intention was, it was distasteful and not funny.
The entire thing is marginally humorous in some parts, and cringe in the rest. This may have been an attempt to be “raw” or “unhinged” but, its at best not funny, and at worst a reveal inside a sociopaths mind.
Whatever that case may be, I'm still waiting to laugh.
