Looking for some quality comedy entertainment to check out?
Who better to turn to for under-the-radar comedy recommendations than comedians?
But Im also good at identifying when something is not for me as opposed to it not being good.
This is not me just laughing at my friends jokes.
I think it took me until that fuckingAustin Powersepisodefor me to be like,Okay, this is great.
This is a perfect show.
I love it so much.
Everybody needs to watch it.
A lot of comedy shows dont utilize enough stand-up comedians in the writers room.
They have a lot of comedians in the writers room, andQuintais a comedian.
She has that rhythm, that editing button.
Theres even certain lines inThis Foolthat I feel like I could guess which comedian wrote it.
And I was pissed because I would expect the Latinos to watch it.
I would be like,No-brainer.
All the Latinos are gonna watch it.
Also, their disappointment in the industry.
And I think this show is such a great show made for Latinos.
But I liked all of it from the beginning.
That first episode is predominantly in Spanish, which I appreciated.
Thats not how everybodys watching it.
Maybe thats what put people off on that first episode.
But I also think its fine I mean, people read subtitles all the time.
I dont understand why we cant do it in comedies, you know?
No ones questioning it, no one looks down on it certainly not the mothers.
Theyre like, Oh, he lives at home forever.
Im fine with that.
Thats so important for that to be shown.
We need to see that.
I think maybe because I was raised in the Central Valley of California, that shit is so common.
It was great to see all the different types of bad dudes represented in such a great way.
Theyre trying their best, and for some of them, their best is just not enough.
And for some of them, their best is enough because theyre just happy.
A lot of people dont interact with these types of characters in their real day-to-day life.
But Im a big proponent of giving people grace, meeting them where theyre at.
Youre trying your fucking best.
Its never enough, but as long as you have your people with you, you will be okay.
