Never heard of this guy and decide to tune in due to the ratings. Glad I did. Very enjoyable hour with dog laughs, and nary a sexual or bodily-function joke. Both my wife and I laughed many times. Will keep my eye on him.

Pretty decent show, Nate's character definitely adds a nice touch to the whole show, good jokes here and there but the first 10 minutes are staged in an awful way where everyone is laughing before he even talks which didn't feel like it was the actual crowd on stage, push through that and it'll get better.

Nate is one of the best comedians I've seen. I had high expectations and sure as hell they were met. Great comedy.

Nate Bargatze was funny but after twenty minutes I just could not do it any more and had to turn it off. The laugh track was way too annoying!! That's all I could hear and I cringed every time. If the jokes are funny then the people in the audience will laugh. Stop faking it because we can tell and as I mentioned after twenty minutes I had to stop watching. Which is really too bad because some of his jokes were really quite funny. Also not sure why my review has to be six hundred characters, I have absolutely nothing else to say on my review about this Netflix comedy special. Good grief!!!!!!!

I watch this one over and over..his delivery is so good, his deadpan look makes me howl. Great stuff and it's clean which is a nice change. Hope for more.

I found Nate on what was it... Netflix Stand Ups or somewhere and immediately connected to his brand of everyday humour. When I later saw he had his own Netflix stand up show, The Tennessee Kid, I was all in and laughed the whole way through. I was excited to see his latest offering on Netflix. I recently watch Jim Gaffigans new stand up and loved his COVID summary, I think it's just the sort of thing everyone needs right now. And the same here as with Nate's comments on the pandemic, it elicited a good few laughs. But it did plateau as he told some stories that felt long winded and weren't that interesting or relatable. It's the relatable side of things that connects me to comedy and for the majority that was missing. It started to gain momentum towards the end as he detailed the row with his wife and spoke about ageing parents, the kid that stole the syrup, that I could get with and my husband and I were really laughing. I think if he focused more of the nitty gritty of life as a parents, husband, son, you know, all the relatable sort of stuff, that's when he's at his best.

I'm a big fan of Nate's unassuming, self depreciating humor. I wondered how the outdoor, social-distancing venue/crowd would go over on a special but I barely noticed it. He had me in stitches for the entire 60 minutes of this special. There's nothing better than an hour of great stand-up comedy.

I had high hopes and they were surpassed. I watch a lot of comedy and it's something rare to be surprised by jokes. This is a great showcase of what being actually funny is. I think, especially if you're into stand-up comedy, you might forget what funny is, and start looking for the wrong reason. This is fun, funny, feel good and I didn't ask for it.

I hadn't watched Bargatze before until seeing him on Seth Meyer. Then I checked out his Netflix special and this guy is hilarious. Just a great story teller. His jokes are anecdotes from his life and family. He is just plain funny!! He takes deprecating jabs at himself and occasionally at extended family, but never mean-spirited or cynical. No swearing, always humorous. I heartily recommend this comedian to everyone.

To those folks who commented on a supposed "laugh track", there is no laugh track. It's an open-air venue (Universal Studios, Los Angeles) with a live audience in masks due to COVID, so their laughs are muffled and sound odd, but it is genuine LIVE laughter, not canned.

He's got some good lines, and the humor is timely. Clean, too. But: TERRIBLY ANNOYING ersatz laughter from the time he walks on stage. Such obvious, repetitive phony laughs. Didn't finish; too hard to endure the "laughter".

Not Nate's best work but that isn't saying much, he has some phenomenal other specials. He has some great bits in here, and his dry delivery and self deprecating style always pleases. Great special to start off the year and can't wait to see what he puts out next.

Nate Bargatze is funny, he will always be. The venue threw me a little ,but his material perseveres. He works clean, which I don't usually go for, but funny is funny. Watch and enjoy.

I probably would have given this a high score, but I could not take the audience laughter. I had to shut it off after 10 minutes. I don't know if the laughter came from a real live audience, but it sounds exactly like canned laughter. I couldn't concentrate on the comedian because it was so distracting, which is too bad because the comedian seemed pretty funny and I think I would have enjoyed his routine.

I have no clue what happened to Nate Bargatze. He was one of my favorite comedians, that Tennessee kid was so damn funny! His special after and this one were so boring and hard to get through. He makes jokes that are so painfully stupid, my dog could do better.

My husband and I made it 15 minutes in and we both realized we had taken our phones out of absolute mind numbing boredom.

The cheap laugh track in the background made it even worse and my second hand embarrassment was overwhelming. Every single word he said was followed by the laugh track... things that weren't even remotely funny... were following by a laugh.... Such a shame.

It feels like maybe he used up all of his best jokes in his younger years/earlier specials. Not sure why they keep giving this guy specials or how anyone continues to say this dude is funny.

My wife seems to like Nate's humor. I, however, don't see the appeal. This is the second of his stand up specials that we've watched and I haven't laughed once. Maybe he used to be funny as I've seen some others claim, but this? Boring. And yes, like nearly everyone else has said, the laugh track is unbearable and it makes an already unfunny show even worse. I do appreciate the fact that his humor/stories are clean, however. But that doesn't make up for the lack of funny material. His delivery is so flat and uninspiring.

Do yourself a favor, skip this one. It's an hour wasted...unless you want to go to sleep, then it's perfect.
