I like fat Bert. I like hearing him on the Joe Rogan podcast & Your Moms house Podcast etc. That's how I got to know the seasonally plump chuckler. This specials kinda funny... I even lol'd a couple times. I had a strong urge to drink a bottle of Titos I have in my freezer as soon as he took off his shirt though...Tiny T-Rex arms. Worth a watch!

Burnt Chrysler is the fattest comedian in the world. In between bites, he spews out some comedy gold
rnickm27 August 2018
This is his best show by far. If you know him from his previous stuff, the machine, etc, you can see how far he has come. He really finds himself in this, whatever the hell that means. He feels like a top comic to me now. I mean as fat as he is, it's amazing that he even gets out of the house, and the effort alone is worth the watch, but Bert pulls you in on this special, with the gravitational pull from his huge body, and his storytelling. He also managed like very few people these days to not include any hacky political humor about either party. In fact there was no politics to be found. It was nice to see an old school comedy special. You get to see the Bert you enjoy on his podcast, and other podcasts like Your moms house and Joe Rogans. Congrats sir. Go Noles.

Absolutely hilarious
drewphalen25 August 2018
Bert is the man and delivered on his Netflix debut. Kinda bummed he didn't share the Russian I'm the machine story but nonetheless it was top notch comedy.

Bert Delivers with another amazing special
kidman23127 August 2018
Bert is one of the few comics I have seen that every show is not like their previous ones. I have seen acts live and you feel like you are listening to one of their cds, as there is no fan interaction or actual improv happening. I have seen Bert live last year in Kansas City and almost all of his show was ad lib and fan engagement. The show was amazing and I have bought tickets to see him two times next month.

Secret Time- Picks right off of the Machine special with Bert telling stories like only he can. Between the hilarious stories and the mixed in one liners, you will be laughing until it hurts. Has great re-watch ability, as I've already watch it twice since it came out. If you have time to catch him live, hes worth the price of admission, signs autographs after the show, takes photos, and shots with his fans.

Warning: Spoilers
Waited in anticipation for this hour and was not disappointed. *Spoiler alert, he takes off his shirt and reveals the Santa secret. I wish my 6 year old wasn't watching with me.

Was not expecting this level of comedy
alexpaniouchkine28 August 2018
He is thinking outside and above every subject he presents. Very bold and brave I loved this stand up! It's one of the few that will make you laugh till you cry without anyone else being in the room.

Whaaaaaaat?

Who finds this peurile, lazily constructed pap funny? Well, apparently people who have never seen good comedy before and given this garbage 9 and 10 out of 10 ratings. Kreischer's silly "secret time" announcements are a form of one-liner comedy so worn out that it literally felt like I was watching a 30 year old comedy special hosted by Louis Anderson or Stephen Wright but not nearly as funny given that Kreischer is the first to laugh at his own jokes half the time. Chappelle, CK, Seinfeld, Gadsby, Silverman, Jeffries all have nothing to worry about in terms of competition from this twaddle spewing fraud who takes the lazy route, unable to craft any type of sophisticated joke and, instead, relies on being shirtless and relating unfunny personal anecdotes that he squeezes for all the forced chuckle juice he can extract that, while funny to him, inspires nothing but a kind of Inquirer-esque titillation from his "I'm-here-for-a-comedy-special-so-I'm-gonna-laugh-dammit" audience. He is, however, laughing all the way to the bank because the societal bar is so low right now or the state of worldly affairs is so traumatizing, there is no end to people who desperately want to find hilarity where there is none. What a disappointment.

Great show, watching it stoned is even better.
deloudelouvain13 March 2020
This was the second stand-up comedy I watched from Bert Kreischer. After The Machine (2016) which was a very pleasant discovery and that I also rated with nine stars I was curious if this next show would be as hilarious as the previous one. And hell yeah it was! He got me literally in tears a couple times. Bert Kreischer doesn't care what you think about him. With his shirtless "big" body he brings joke after joke, some very personal jokes, and he doesn't really mind to openly make fun of some of his hilarious life decisions. He's got it all to be an excellent comedian, his stage presence, his mimics, the well placed puns, it's all part of a great show. There are tons of stand-up comedians, lately with Netflix they seem to pop out like mushrooms, but Bert Kreischer stands out from the crowd. It's one of those shows you won't forget, one of those you recommend to friends. For the haters, as there always are with comedy, just stay far away from me as you clearly have no sense of humor at all.

His Best One Yet
USGuerrilla31 May 2019
While his previous specials had their moments, I felt like you needed to know Bert to truly enjoy them. This was his first one where anyone would enjoy it. I watched with my father, who had never heard of Bert before, but said "He is kind of a fat idiot, but a funny fat idiot."

The stories were great, the punchlines perfectly timed, and while I wasn't a fan of the "theme" (lack of a better term) it worked well for this one. Very good and entertaining.

Beautifully written and surprising
deonozzykrause21 March 2020
You can see he tried staying true to himself and also made a conscious effort to evolve as a comedian. Most of his jokes are story styled but he has taken the time to insert more traditional type jokes. Watching this was like eating simple food made by a great chef, it was all the same ingredients of his previous specials but you can see he has spent more time and effort to make it better.

That was funny?
chrisgadbury16 March 2023
The guy has a definite confidence about him qnd he tells his stories as though he believes himself to be funny,but honestly I really didn't get it. And the shirtless thing is a little tacky, almost as if he is trying to invent himself as original and that's fine, but being shirtless doesn't make you funnier, to me it just makes you appear more desperate. Sorry, no offense Burt but ive been around a while, seen lots and lots of comedians and although you get a few chuckles in here and there, you really aren't any funnier to me than my 10 year old dancing around and acting foolish just for attention 😬🤷‍♂️

Kinda funny. Stay in your lane
rptqkcpvbb23 January 2022
Jokes were mostly funny but fell flat once he started doing gay jokes in San Francisco. Thing is, nobody likes being a punch line and your gay jokes sounded like a douchebags trip to the zoo. Not offended. You just weren't funny.
