Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King (2017)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

the audience applauded

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This show is awesome! Not your typical stand up special, but Hasan has constructed a fantastic way to tell his story that is both hilarious and touching at the same time. Try to ignore the zero star reviews from racist Fox News viewers.

He seems like your typical brown boy Russel Peters wannabe which is pretty much washed by the time he hits 30. He talks to whack to the point that even millennials will find him to be a retard. On the good side, he seems well informed, in being behind with capitalizing on brown jokes. This dummy is just "fool" of it. I could jerk off on world domination and drop better anal jokes than this tool.

You don't have to be a Muslim Indian immigrant to get Hasan Minhaj's Homecoming King. But you do have to be an immigrant.I've laughed my head off to Bill Burr and Jim Jeffries, nodded in agreement to Bill Maher, George Carlin and Bill Hicks, scratched my head and thought "damn, that's clever" to Mitch Hedberg, smiled and thought "that's funny" to Daniel Tosh and Louis CK.But never before was I able to relate to the comedian's narrative on such a personal deep emotional level, as I did to Hasan Minhaj. He is deep and insightful, able to focus on the little things that go unnoticed but that do matter so much. The flow of the show is impeccable, he goes from being emotional and almost philosophical to being funny just at the right moments, and he keeps you in the constant state of anticipation and curiosity. You don't feel like it's a comedy special you're watching. No, it feels like a good friend is telling you an amazingly interesting story, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but always leaving you wanting more. And, most importantly, even though I don't agree with some of the stuff he says, I could relate to the things he was talking about. This lifted this show to a level much higher than a comedy special. It was a unique experience.10/10

Let me start off by saying, I'm a brown Immigrant kid in US. And, I got to say we don't have many Indian/Brown Comedians up here. So, when I heard Hasan has a new special coming up, I was quite excited. He is not the Best correspondent in Daily show, but he gets the job done quite well. His pieces are usually entertaining, not saying he is bad, but he is quite adequate compared to others. He definitely is in my top 5 correspondents after Oliver, Colbert, Carrell and Sam. It's not that he is not funny, but not upto his peers level, that is it. OK, enough of the rambling about Daily show. But, this special is purely entertaining only if you can relate. And, you can relate only if you are a Brown Immigrant kid. As I am the picture boy of that club, I was extremely satisfied with this special. It's not all belly laughs, but quite entertaining. All I got to say is, if you are a Brown kid, check it out and you may go back to your younger days with this guy. If you are not a Brown kid, you may see his points, but don't get the inner feel of that point. So, you may like or not like it. No guarantees. Watch for yourself and find out if this is upto your standard or not. But, for me, I liked it and will watch again soon. Good job, man.
