I watched the Bert Kreischer special
52 2016-11-12 by Mr702law
I like Bert. I know many get annoyed by him. But I like him because he's a fanboy and also a very genuine, good dude. Of all the comedians in the O and A world, he is most likely to have a beer with you if you spotted him out and said hello.
The special is not bad. He closes with the machine story so if you've heard that before then probably skip that. The rest is some dad stuff but he makes it decent. Not the best special I have ever seen but it is watchable.
On the machine story: many mock it as completely unbelievable. I have a friend who is Russian (born here though) and is same age as Bert. My friend studied abroad a semester in Moscow almost the same time Bert was there. I sent him a clip of the Machine story last year. He called me immediately and laughed and said "that absolutely could be true. That's exactly how it was there at that time ". I'm not saying he didn't put some on it for the story, but it could be more true than some give him credit for.
I'm expecting downvotes.

You seem like the type of guy that would laugh at a straight-to-DVD "American Pie" sequel.

No. but I was pleasantly surprised by Reunion.

I am the same age as the original movie so I guess I liked seeing them at 30 something show the 18 year olds what's up. Member berries.

Amazing how these "I watched..." posts sound like rape victim experiences on this sub.

And then he turned the tv on..... sniff I'm sorry.. I just feel so helpless.

This first I've been disappointed that a post didn't end in peckahs.

Bert gets unnecessary hate, he's fine and usually gets some inside baseball whenever he talks to the b-b-boys
5 russelldalrymple 2016-11-12
Bert's stand-up is unwatchable, but I discovered him like 5 years ago on Rogan's podcast when he told that Machine story the first time. That was genuinely funny, but aside from that, he's just a goofy drunk that's friends with a lot of comics.
1 xyniphis 2016-11-12
His Bert the conqueror show is good. Mostly him screaming like a woman on thrill rides
4 dassabessdoe 2016-11-12
Well, I don't wanna let you down. Downvoted.

I don't like comedy specials very much by even my favorite comics. They feel watered down and overly rehearsed and just...obligatory. I hardly ever watch specials.
2 cayneabel 2016-11-12
That's basically the same reason Leno have when he was asked why he doesn't do specials of his own.
1 Doc_McCoy79 2016-11-12
I love Leno. (I hated the Tonight Show, but I love him)
1 Mr702law 2016-11-12
I think Lenos rationale on specials was he wanted the people who come to see him to not have seen his material anywhere.
2 VeritablyClean 2016-11-12
I liked Attell's Road Work, otherwise I agree. Definitely would prefer more in that style, where it gives you the feeling of actually being at a show
3 CHILLSmannn 2016-11-12
How does it compare to Joe Rogan's special Triggered?
2 Mr702law 2016-11-12
Slightly better

Bert is not a great standup, he's a life-of-the party guy. Rogan did him a disservice when he told Bert to focus on his storytelling, in his act. Rogan's act works because there are a lot of closeted alpha males that feel connected to him and a lot of potheads, that feel the same. He's a phenom, in that sense. If Bert is serious about comedy, he should move back to NY and hang out with the likes of Attell and Quinn.

I enjoy Bert's fuck-in-a-can story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JteK-fdOWTs
3 Mr702law 2016-11-12
This illustrates why Bert is funny. He's telling a story quietly because he's worried his wife will hear. All the while this is being recorded and made public.
2 jfral 2016-11-12
Bert rules.
2 CertifiedBA 2016-11-12
You described it as decent and watchable. Quite the fitting endorsement.
2 pabbseven 2016-11-12
Can someone torrent this shit? How stupid are you to release a special were only Americans can watch it? Why not just release it on his own website like podcast shit?

No. you watch too much tv. Every lawyer is not an ambulance chaser. Some of us defend the Anthony Cumias of the world.

How many minutes did he fake-bray-like-a-donkey-laugh at his own hilarious joke he was about to tell?
1 rahtin 2016-11-12
Bert has told the story in front of a couple of his classmates before, and they disagreed with him on a couple of the details, I think he said he even changed his story a little because he thought they were correct and he misremembered.
The only part of the story I find unbelievable is Bert starting to understand what they were saying to him when they were robbing the dining car.
2 Mr702law 2016-11-12
Yeah I do recall now that you mention it that the teacher I think says this pretty much happened exactly as told.

I like Bert, but he doesn't have jokes, he relies on his stories and they have been getting significantly worse. I watched his special last night and it was mostly about his kids, if you aren't already a fan of his it would be mostly unwatchable.
1 JerkStoreJ 2016-11-12
So you came here to tell us a special is "watchable"? Thank you for your service.
1 ucfgavin 2016-11-12
I like Bert...seems like a cool dude
1 stinksskc 2016-11-12
Let me guess he takes his shirt off
1 WiretapStudios 2016-11-12
As far as I know he does the whole special with his shirt off. I mean that quite literally, he said it on his podcast, and the showtime pictures are all with his shirt off except at the beginning.
1 [deleted] 2016-11-12
Bert's just a good dude. I feel like people who hate on him have only heard him on one podcast and don't really know what he's about.

his bit about his daughter's safe word from strangers is fucking hilarious. and if you listen to his podcast enough, you realize his youngest daughter is literally exactly how he explains her.
2 Mr702law 2016-11-12
He's told it a few times but his bit about how he believes in time travel and has always been fascinated by it and one day she approaches and says "daddy do you believe people from the future can come back?" And he's like YES! Yes Isla, I do! Waiting for her to say she's from the future. And she just mumbles something and walks off.

whats the machine story?

It's like I said.
He's not the worst, BY FAR. He's funny from time to time when hes reacting to burr 'n shit.
-2 TijnTijn 2016-11-12
Who the fuck cares if he's a nice guy. Is he your friend or are you hanging out with him ever? Patrice was probably a complete ass but at least he made you laugh.

Whether or not someone is genuine comes into play when I consider whether I like them. Sorry, I'm human.
