This was a great special. Hard to describe, I definitely went through a lil roller coaster watching this. The first part was classic standup about his family which was great if you like Jerrod, the stories about his name and grandpas was good. Then he broke the news, the whole tone kind of changed. It got back a cracked a few gay jokes but I was like, I hope this isn’t just what this becomes. But then he talked about telling his Dad, his brother, and his mom and that was pretty strong just kind of talking about the layers and nuisance to coming out. It was awkward at times but 100% genuine like him not knowing how to respond to people cheering him being gay. Coming from a straight guy it good stuff and I thought he did a good job with it
I agree, I gotta rewatch it , but this may be his best special.

Not a fan of how this was chosen to be the rollout vehicle for his “comeback.” He came out years ago so I don’t know why his management and agency chose to push this narrative again. Let his comedy speak for itself.

I don’t remember him coming out. I remember he mentioning he had messed around or kissed a guy before but not that he’s actually a gay man…

It’s funny cause I was like the people he was talking about in the special because I thinking. Well at least be Bi :ld:

Do these nikkas think getting fukked in the ass gives them Magic powers of something?


Ive never been on board with any of this dudes comedy, Carmichael show was aight...but wasn't a great as it's fans think it was.

I Hope his new special flop....but only because of the pandering, He was mid asf before and sucking cock ain't gonna suddenly make him any funnier:mjlol:

I mean I honestly don’t think he’s looking for much in return. Seems like he’s just relived to be able to say it in public and get it off his chest. Seems like it was eating him up to keep a secret like that so at least this way he’s able to do on his own terms. He’s funny to me so as long as his comedy doesn’t devole into a bunch of gay jokes it really doesn’t make much of a difference

Just finished watching this, definitely different from his last special with the heavy subject matter. But he still has that conversational style to his jokes.

Some parts were hard to watch, with him processing stuff on stage about his family and his identity. Especially with the camera being focused so close on him for the majority.

Some of the audience interactions :skip:

I really didn't pay much attention to the title of the special, so the end had me :ohhh:

Mooney never came out as gay but the rumors had been around pretty much his whole career.
A couple of his sons have said he was bisexual after he died though.

Okay, so just rumors? I’ll believe it depending on whether his relationship with his sons was good or not

:what:

You couldn’t tell he was a homo how could you not?

Two reasons:

1) Buddy was a celebrity

2) So we really bout to pretend a lot of those celebrity brehs ain’t out here looking/behaving like a moist bandit?

Them dudes stay having wives/girlfriends and still be out here wearing purses, dresses, skirts, bras etc. also, wasn’t them young money dudes kissing on the lips years back talking bout “we like the mob”? :stopitslime:


Bruh, where you been?

:russ:

Also, remember Pryor's son came out saying Paul turned him out?(supposedly the reason they fell out back in the day, he wanted to kill him bout that.) Shyd died down, but I remember.

:francis:

Been in the military and only recently got freed :blessed:

I straight up never heard of this until you said it :unimpressed:
