![]() ![]() ![]() Another joke details how she prefers massages from illegal immigrants since their massages are angrier for having to do their job for her benefit. The joke ends with her holding down an animal against their will while another animal mates with it while everyone laughs. The opener joke, for example, goes into assault, and how we need to blur the lines for what counts as it for animals versus humans. This stand-up, for whatever reason, Michelle didn't exactly drop some shoes, she just kinda cracked some jokes that didn't need to be cracked. When are they going to crack that out-of-touch, offensive, or just terrible bomb of a joke? I did not expect shoes to drop with Michelle I enjoyed Nice Lady, I enjoyed her Netflix show, I enjoyed her press correspondence dinner. Whenever I'm watching comedians for the first time, I find I'm often waiting for the other shoe to drop. We'll wonder how anyone cheered for it, in the same way that we wonder how the other atrocities we've seen in history went on for so long. Would we sympathize with a wifebeater who says, "Hey, my house, my rules"? Or would we sympathize with someone who owns slaves, whether out of convenience or because of a harrowing sob story showing their need for a helper they can command? One day we'll look back on how flippantly people dehumanized other genetically distinct human beings, through abortion, and we'll recognize how atrocious it is when any demographic of person is treated as property. I just hope society sees the dehumanization abortion causes, and takes it as seriously as other areas where human beings are treated as less than human. I think comics should be free to joke about anything, especially if it's a good joke, so I don't have issue with Wolf. Go ahead and rate this review as unhelpful if you're wanting me to say more about Wolf's approach per se, and less about my own perspectives on the issues discussed, but I want to use the second half of my review to point out one specific area where Wolf talked about the same topics as other comics, but with less nuance and insight. Comedy can have a profound impact on the listener, raising valid points about society and the individual. If you don't mind a shrill voice, speaking on the same topics as 95% of Netflix comics, you'll enjoy this just fine.
