This was just plain awful. just a bitter rage throughout the entire Sermon, sorry i mean "Special" this is what happens when instead of going to therapy twice a week like any other person, you bottle up all your frustrations in life, in this case because of your bad decisions at engaging into a healthy relationship with a man and someone hands you and opened mic opportunity and the rest is just history...bad history nonetheless. So in conclusion some bullet points about this "special" CONTAINS SPOILERS* If you hate broke ass men, don't date em' * There is a site called bigtitsboss and it is about female bosses in a workplace taking advantage of their lesser male employees i think you should check that out Whitney it will fulfill that niche you are looking for in porn. * Just because you date a guy that is into some "nasty" stuff regarding sex that doesn't mean that all men are into that. generalizing is bad and you should feel bad. * Calling someone Baby in a relationship is not only a man thing. i think it's about the same or even more used by women towards men. * Since when a boob job is a crime against women and humanity?
Though Whitney starts by engaging the audience as a way for them to relate to her self-deprecating humor — it comes across as rage. What should be a funny trip into role reversal and observational humor ends up as a 59 minute rant about how unfair life is, now that Whitney is in her 30s, has the career that she's always wanted and has money. To quote the Atlantic's Megan Garber, "To the extent that I'm Your Girlfriend, for all its jokes about porn, ends up scanning, at times, more like a sermon. Or a lecture. Or a TED Talk."The full article which dissects why the is special is so uneven can be googled. Use the search terms "The Triumph of Soap-Box Comedy, Whitney Cummings's new HBO special, I'm Your Girlfriend, often sounds like a TED Talk. It's in good company."
I'm a white guy in my late 30th, just to get it out of the way so you don't have to guess. I stumbled on this special while browsing on demand stuff. She was hilarious as a guest on Joe Rogan podcast. It was great. All new stuff. Mature comedian at its best. Completely unexpected twists and turns in the material. I watched her earlier stuff and thought this special was the strongest. Couple hick ups along the way but the quality and originality of jokes made it almost unnoticeable.I don't want to compare her to anybody else, let her stand up speak for itself. Strong 9.
Someone needs to tell Whitney Cummings that some bitter person is on this show is tainting what moderate success she has had. I have never seen anything this awful. No laughs, this is listed as a comedy. I'd call this a sermon! Ten or so years ago Joni Mitchell wig out like this a put out a bitter rage album. This "special" show be called bitter rage. Sarah Silverman just release a special, and it was great, your fans deserve better than this. What were you thinking? Based on you previous material I was suspecting a Lisa Lampanelli type act, this was quite a disappointment. What happened to the beautiful charming girl from "whitney" from 3 years ago? Why don't you do a skit on how bad your plastic surgery was.
