Silly and funny throughout
okayall26 February 2024
Thornton's special included funny stories chronologically though his life. He's a TikToker who uses auto-tune and the catchphrase "In the 90s," which he uses just the right amount. He proves to be a capable stand-up with nimble comedic timing and delightful anecdotes. When it comes to whether this is "clean" comedy, I'd say it's cleaner than most. There's not much swearing compared to most stand-ups, but there's descriptions of pornography and sex. He had an uplifting message about being yourself and a few newer terms around sexuality for the audience to ponder. I laughed and smiled and watched all the way to the end.

Didn't laugh once

My wife loves watching this guy on social media. I've never particularly cared for the few short videos that I've overheard while she watched, but I thought that maybe, if he has a stand up special, then surely he'll be funny. Wrong! I didn't laugh once...not even a grin. Kevin's timing is sssslllloooowwww and the pay off is nil. His overuse of the auto tune is really annoying but that's his gimmick. I have no clue how he ever got his own special! He's simply not funny. Do yourself a favor and skip this one, it's painful to watch. And I actually paid $5.99 to watch this? Dude, you owe me $6 and an hour of my life back.
