I love his comedy. He hits topics many are too timid to approach. He often comes off, "Oh hell no he ain't goin' there!", and then flips the script, or takes an unexpected turn.

"WOMEN! What the fuck is wrong with these people?!" Then he hits how our expectations clash, how clueless men and women can both be when judging one another's behavior. And he's not afraid to include himself on the dumbass side of any given rant.

At it's heart, that's what comedy is, subverting expectations.

So, I had to explain the joke, comedy death, he's not for you, and that's fine.

BTW, my wife won't watch him, doesn't comment, just doesn't like him. Her English ain't so hot, but I think the man's humor is the issue. 🤷🏻
