The Standups (2017– )
5/10
Some good comics in there, but mostly mediocre

Nate Bargatze has the funniest set so it's good this thing starts with him. Dan Soder is good too.

Dusty Slay was amazing, I've never heard of him but he really shined here. I just wish he didn't say "we're having a good time" after each sentence and was more confident.

Brent Morin's set is solid too. Too bad he has this typical beta male comic quality of not holding women accountable for leaving him alone in NYC but blaming only himself - that story was a bit sad and pathetic, even if pretty entertaining and uplifting at first.

Mark Normand is a good comic too, but he's also such a female-pandering beta now, that his skills are kind of wasted and laugher is replaced with cringe. Still one of the best "underground" comics tho. But wow. Tone it down a bit, mr. Try hard.

Nikki Glaser is good too, and ironically her set here is funnier than her actual full special on Netflix, because here she actually talks about other stuff besides her vaj... Here she tackles such profound subjects like farting.. But yeah... Like the rest - she has her moments and is not bad.

I don't know the rest of these people and clearly there's a reason for it - they're not funny or talented. I think I've seen Fortune Feimster on Rogan and she seemed cool and promising, but she ain't on stage...

Still, this has a few decent comics with decent sets - so it's worth a watch. They're probably better than most of the "comics" netflix is peddling on the frontpage.
