Daniel Sloss: X

Obviously this not your standard comedy special, but that is the beauty of it. Daniel Sloss has very clearly established this unique style in his three comedy specials, and there is no doubt he cares deeply about explaining why you can and should try and find humor in life's most difficult moments. I absolutely love his style of comedy, and for me he is right up there with CK, Gervais, Burr, Jeffries.

Like her shows on Netflix, it impressed me again. A comedian who makes good use of dark humor. During his show, laughter, sadness, surprise, etc. you feel your emotions. This is not a show you will just laugh and forget. A catchy and must-watch show. If you turned it off after watching it for the first 30 minutes, you have lost a lot. I highly recommend it.

I'll try not to spoil the show for those who have not seen it. Let me start by saying this was my first time seeing DS comedy and I was truly amazed. Yes he's vulgar but the title should tip off anyone to that fact (avoid it if you have a sensitive ear). His comedy is self-deprecating and relatable at the same time. He weaves interesting stories together with a maturity beyond his years. Watch for those Nigel moments!

As for the "Ted Talk" ending some have found unsettling: it's pure genius. This is an intimate look at a serious, topical issue told as only a master comedian could.

I never knew Daniel Sloss had done a third special until I got HBO Max. His humor is second to none, and the way he crafts his jokes is genius. To make such serious topics so funny just shows how great of a comedian he is.

Many of those who appear to be mad about the fact that within thi special Daniel deals with actual serious topics are plain out ignorant people. If feel like shedding some light on the matter, so here we go. Comedy is a genre that from the most ancient of times deals with taboos and subjects that would normally be extremely hard to talk about. Daniel Sloss has always managed to take this approach one step further by talking about extremely unpleasant subjects and mixing them with dark jokes and his very own peculiar brand of comedy. Personally I've loved Daniel's brand of humor from day one, but if you're not familiar with it, don't watch this. Acclimate yourself first, this is not meant to be easy and it's a milestone for someone I think to be one of the best comedians the world has to offer right now. Do not watch this expecting it to be light, this is sensitive stuff and it's meant to be heard as well as it's meant to be hard on you. Oh, and it's obviously flipping hilarious.
