Sandler, that is. But they're buddies, so he's probably OK with it. I was expecting something funnier from David Spade so some disappointment began setting in about the half way mark. He telegraphed his political leanings with observations on Covid vaccines and Dr. Fauci, and that's OK with me because I feel pretty much the same. But the timing felt off with some of his stories and observations; crabs in the hotel room was just one example. I wasn't counting on the free flow of gutter language either, so that was a minus. I think Spade is capable of so much better, but his static delivery seemed almost tired, and for a comedy special, a little bit more would be called for.

So, I do like DS, but this was an extremely poor special - retooled jokes and, to be entirely candid, more than a few were problematic - overall this was extremely awkward and clunky with very little redeeming qualities.
