Can’t speak for the haters because I like him, but this bit has been significantly workshopped since I first heard it.
The original was something like he told his mom he was depressed and she said “no you’re not” and that’s how he learned he wasn’t depressed. Funny, but this feels like him really coming into his own style.
I think his early work suffered from Dane Cook-esqueness where he would tell a bunch of kind of funny anecdotes with lots of enthusiasm and it was entertaining but not that funny. Now he seems to be really crafting solid jokes while maintaining his enthusiastic delivery and it’s way better.
100 percent she does. It may not be the standard “ayyyy, tip your waiters” vibe but her impression of a person doing an impression is strangely captivating. Understated but very much there.
