I've been a long-time fan of Ali Wong's standup, so I was excited to see her latest routine. This is far and away not her best work at all. It was nothing more than an entire hour devoted to her divorce, and telling the audience (repeatedly) that she's rich and successful, and how she deserves men who can gratify her properly with oral sex. OK, fine for a short while, but move on. I'm not complaining about the raunchy humor; you expect that from Ali Wong. Just be more imaginative with it. Move on to other topics. That used to be what was appealing about Ali: her talent for observational humor. It's almost entirely missing here.

A tedious, self-indulgent hour
I feel sorry for her child.
Imagine being a forty year old adult woman having a child and embarrasing yourself and your family in talking about your promiscuous post divorce relationships in such detail.
Even if it is fiction.
In what universe do you think that your child won't be bullied in school even if it's a private school?
Have a little class.
The problem with this type of "humor" is that it is just cheap, crass devoid of any intelligence.
It is zero uplifting, it is not inspiring it is exactly nothing.
Is this how you want to be remembered by your child?
I get it, sex sells, but were you thát broke that you had to stoop this low?
Lengo en el culo ahorita?
Wow.
Just gross.
The next Amy Schummer?
I'm a fan of Ali's, not the biggest, I admit, but I've watched all her specials and some other stuff on youtube, but gotta say that, after this one, I am reconsidering my fandom. Sporadically funny, this new one finds her proud on being a single woman again, and ready to mingle. Good for her, the problem is, about 90% of the special revolves around her newfound "power", and as a 2024 empowered woman, she just boasts her sexual freedom. Still no problem there, but, while I'm not a prude, I'm not also a fan of over the top crudeness and vulgarity. I think that is the crutch of the unfunny. What's with modern women and their desire to talk like truck drivers, or worse? The special also cannot hide her feminist views (of course, it's Netflix) and I wonder if a man could get away with all that she said, were the roles reversed? Not a terrible special, somewhat funny, I found myself fast forwarding some of the most vulgar stuff. Let's hope she doesn't turn into the new Amy Schummer, who can only make 'jokes' about her V.
