If I listed my top 20 comedy specials of all time, I think possibly all of his previous ones would be in there. And Animals and Politics would be in the top 3, but this felt like it was rushed at best and a cash grab at worst.
The material felt old and rehashed with the *spontaneous* dog joke feeling like it was straight from Bernard Manning's book of jokes.
And the constant need to explain himself (Jimmy Carr has started doing this, so maybe on a deeper level they are fearful of being taken literally) was a bit tiring.
There were some funny bits with the cultural appropriation joke brilliant and so clever, but I'm not sure I need to see him use the handjob action in any more specials. It was very funny the first time and pretty funny the second time, but now it feels/looks more like a metaphor for him milking the Netflix coffers.
I still love the guy and will watch his next one because even comedians have bad days at the office.
