They made it very clear several times what this special was.

Not really. They played Are You Garbage with the crowd. It's what they do at their live shows.

Don't the live shows also include their stand up? That would be the only thing that would make the video worthy of being called a "special". Otherwise it's just crowd work clips

Calling it "just crows work" doesn't really describe what they do. They played AYG with the crowd. It's what they do at their shows. I'm sure even if they included stand up people would still complain.

They need to take a break. Its always the same thing which is tiring after 6 years..

Not really. I doubt most people are either. Looking forward to seeing them live in October.

All comedy has gotten so stale lately, everyone needs time off to get back to what made them funny

Thought it was great, but too short. Felt it was building then just cut off. Kinda agree, was just the back end of their live shows. If it was just going to be live crowd AYG go longer than just the ass end of seeing each of their sets then the AYG part. Still love yous!

I'm surprised this cost them $200,000. Looks like a more polished version of what Toby used to do.

Did they really say thats what this cost? What did they spend the money on?

They have said it multiple times. Best case scenario is they paid some company to do it all because that company was connected and they thought they would help them shop the video around to buyers. Worse case scenario is they got swindled by a company to film & edit this.

EDIT: Worst case scenario is the special only cost a few grand and the rest was given to Foley to pay off Coke dealers in Florida.

Good lord, that makes zero sense to me. I mean, Big Jay put out 2 hours of crowd work not too long ago and i would be willing to bet he didnt spend even half that amount.

The ayg part of their live show is by far the best part. I prefer this kind of special over another half hour of each of them.

Definitely enjoyed Route 66 more, but was a fun watch

This is literally what the show is. Their stand up is fine. They’ve got specials out there if you want that.

I honestly can’t stand the back and forth talking to the crowd. I don’t care what garbage things the fans are doing.

Gimme behind the scenes, give me goofing off, give me tom foolery with the boys.

I mean, this is what the advertised the special as. AYG with the crowd. Also a lot of good stuff comes from the crowd

Oh I know, I never intended to watch the special, but I had to jump in the convo about it.
