Jonathan L @RT68149114 Oct 7, 2026 This is probably my favorite Louis C.K. special, and maybe even my favorite special period. His laid back demeanor whilst delivering some of the most outrageous jokes I've heard just leaves me in awe. And anyone can write tacky "dark humor" but Louis C.K. just takes is so much further. He just reaches into your brain, gets you completely immersed in the scenario, and the darker he goes, the funnier it gets when he flips it. And obviously that's the thing with dark humor, but his sort of childish, ridiculous style to it is what resonates. I feel like he really mastered that in this special. And call me crazy, but I feel like his controversy led to him feeling a little bit alienated from society, and then the audience, which just kind of sends this style over the edge, and really just makes it so much funnier (it might be an age thing too). It’s like he's got nothing left to be afraid of, and he's not really trying to appease a greater audience anymore, so he can just go full Louis C.K..

See more Steven F @RT69856319 Sep 9, 2026 I'm stunned at the only 55% approval from fans while only 45% from critic which means nothing to me. Years later they always look like fools. They overwhelmingly hated Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Queen, Doors(well they got one right at least) and more but now they look like fools. Hence, their reviews of Ridiculous which I found to be the funniest of all and I saw him live in Long Beach, CA just months before this was filmed and was also shocked since I was bored out of my mine. He was as clean, non shocking, and bland as Bob Newhart who was funny in what he did. So I'm not bias here because he was so bad that I removed his FB channel from my lineup. I watched this to see how bad or if he still stunk and couldn't finish my dinner because the laughing was so hard I was choking. This was GREAT!

This time around he just tried too hard to go for laughs. In prior specials, he let the stories build and kept you in suspense and had very clever punchlines. In this special, he rushes the joke and it’s the same tired "haha my father molested me" shtick he’s been doing for years. His last special was only a few years ago and it was great. This special seems like he was trying out brand new material for the first time. Super disappointing as a big fan. See more Itsa P @RT16910998 Aug 14, 2026 Decent watch, and it pisses off stuck up critics so that's a bonus. Kinda funny people think this is his return when he's been doing comedy the entire time, just not on Netflix. See more Harri H @PictureNerd Aug 7, 2026 I hesitated first to watch this after him being away from the spotlight for so long. I still wanted to give it a shot and boy was it worth it! I have now watched this 3 times and it is pure magic. For me it is the best special of him and the best special in years on netflix. He just suprises you every time with the punchline after another. It seemed that the audience was in awe of how good the jokes were. He seemed so relaxed and confident as always. People how do stand up should take notes how to deliver a joke. Vintage Louis. Still got it. See more Read all reviews
