Hilarious stories

I laughed so much. The ridiculous stories, at times over-the-top delivery, her voices, and her facial expressions are all entertaining.I didn't even know she did standup. Stories of birth and bodily functions, early pandemic traveling; slice of life stuff. Her physicality, her lack of filters, her honesty about the realities of giving birth are all refreshing.I'm sure this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but she's unlike anyone I've seen before, and that in itself is worth a watch. I would watch another standup with her anytime.Was it rambling? Yes, but that's part of the charm. She wanders into other stories from other times and circles back to her original narrative. She never lost me in doing it this way. I giggled right through to the end.

Disinteresting Ramble-fest

This special is full of run-on ramblings without payoff, random sounds to illicit laughs rather than being clever, and valley girl-esque speech that is grating to listen to.Google a transcript from this special and read it rather than watching this special. It is truly uncommon that a transcript of a comedy special has better delivery and pacing than the comedian, but unfortunately this is the case here.This show reads less like a comedy special and more like a broken person talking to a disinterested therapist. The therapist would likely laugh more than the audience, and would likely be less annoyed at the incredibly gratuitous dissertation of all of the possible uses of "like" in a published work.The only reason this special has as high of reviews as is does is that the majority of its watchers turned it off in the first five minutes and watched something that was actually engaging and worth their time.

A true original, hilarious and sweet

This special had me in tears from laughing so hard. Jenny Slate is a wonderful combination of relatable and off the wall, and the fact that she could be completely honest about the weirdness of giving birth and still make it drop dead hilarious is really refreshing. Her love story could've been tedious and annoying-like what's worse (in comedy terms) than someone bragging about their loving relationship?-but her point of view is so strong and unique that she pulls it off in all kinds of unexpected ways. She's the kooky friend everyone needs in their life.I loved her last special but think I love this one even more, because it is still too rare to hear people talking in such real but funny ways about how pregnancy and birth-and love-changes you. Excited to see more specials down the line as her kid grows up!
