Ellen DeGeneres: Relatable (2018) Reviews
AWKWARD
Ellen is undoubtedly one of the most beloved comedians today, if not the most. She doesn´t really have to do much to make one laugh, she really is funny just being herself...at least on her talkshow that is. This however was almost cringeworthy to watch. You could see her noticing when she didn´t get the reaction she was expecting from the crowd after a joke. I felt like I was waiting for a punchline throughout the whole show but there never was one. It was almost like someone was forcing her to be there. Although I did like the throwbacks of when she started out as a comedian. That was very relatable. So maybe she should´ve made this into a TED talk instead?
Trust this review, but watch the special and judge for yourself.
I have been waiting for this day for a very long time. I am a comedy-geek and, like millions of people around the world, I grew up on stand up comedy. I honestly believe Ellen Degeneres is one of the greatest comedians of our time; at least she has that potential. "Taste This" was a near perfect debut. She had the comedic sensibility of a Bob Newhart. *deep sigh* // this is a terrible stand up special. It is nothing but filler material. I wish it were better. It should have been better. I kept stopping every 5-10 minutes and switching to Maria Bamford, Louis CK, Bill Burr and Amy Sedaris' new series in order to cleanse my palette // *deep sigh* Peace and Love, regardless.
Flat jokes..flat delivery.
I just finished watching this standup special.wish I could tell you how funny it was ..I cant..I wish I could tell you how animated he is ..she wasn't. Monotone delivery and no real "jokes ".apparently the audience was filled with major fans of her tv talk show .they laughed alot .I didnt. .not once..she says shes been away from standup for 15 years..it shows....I'm being kind with my 3 star rating...stay with your talk show where 5 minute monologue is best...
Bragging Disguised As Relatibility
There's a thin line between embracing your success and flaunting it. Ellen crossed that line a long time ago. This past year, she spent months prattling on about the celebrity orgy that was her 60th Birthday party. She now pals around with Kardashians. Ellen's younger self would hate her current self. On "Relatable" (most inaccurate title ever), she makes more than her share of jokes about how rich and privileged she is (Yes, they are jokes, but she really is that rich and privileged). There's nothing wrong with being rich and famous. The problem is she simply can't remind us enough that she is. One bit involves deliberately flooding the back seat of her car just so she can leave a gas station because people are (gasp!) looking at her. But don't worry, she assures us it's no big deal because she can easily buy a new one. Hilarious? We get A-list name-dropping ("My friend Jen Aniston"), Instagram photos, and she actually does a Kanye West-style run through of all the awards she's won. We get a substantial segment about how hard it was for her to come out. Yes, it was and she was admirably courageous for it. But she already covered that 20 years ago with a far superior comeback special. We get rich-girl complaints about how people always expect her to be nice and they want her to dance. Somebody grab me a Kleenex. She stated a friend discouraged her from returning to stand-up because she was no longer relatable. She took offense to that and then gave a performance proving her friend to be correct. Jerry Seinfeld and Ellen are 2 of the most successful comedians of all time. Jerry has shown us how to tactfully embrace one's success. Ellen has shown us how to shove it down people's throats in a most tone-deaf manner.
Not exactly sure what people were expecting
Before I watched this I read some reviews and some of the bad ones kind of baffle me. I am not sure what people were expecting after decades. Maybe the greatest comedy act of all time. And when this wasn't that they one stared it in response. Yes it is ALOT about Ellen's coming out. It was a HUGE part of her life. A popular tv show that got run into the ground a year after she came out....that is going to effect someone. It probably took her YEARS to find the comedy in it. One of them complains about the comedy being about Rich People Problems....well yeah. That is kind of the point. When Ellen went from out of work actor to one of the most respected daytime talk show hosts on tv today. Some of her jokes are simply about would she still be "relatable" to her fans the same ones who made a comic a tv star and a tv star a talk show host.....my answer is yes. She is very relatable....that is kind of her shtick.
