Not for the kids.
elmoslively4 November 2018
Entertaining grouping of fairly new comics. I chuckled a couple of times and had to wipe the blood from ears because some of these folks use some fairly coarse language.

Black comedians only taking about white people...
michael-johnson-au20 November 2021
I mean talk about obsessed. The rest of the comedians actually discuss other topics.

When your entire act is comparing yourself to "wypepo", time for new material. This isn't 1979.

If I could rate each individual comic....
sharliebrown2 November 2018
My rating would most likely end up higher. Netflix has done a wonderful job bringing old and new comedy to the stages. Love seeing people push the envelope; show their true and human selves and make us all laugh! I was both entertained and at times disappointed at the various comedy levels the show brought. Overall, fun show, but walked away out of boredom during more than one act.

The degenerates 2
sutherlandjerry-355366 January 2020
Jim Norton- He is a funny guy. I like to listen to him in radio form I.e opey and Anthony or podcasts. But didn't laugh to much at this special.

Robert kelly- He was probably my favorite out of the bunch only because he made me lol one good time.

Miss Pat- I always here other comedians say how funny she is for example joe Rogan. So I was i was interested is watching her. I dnt think there was one joke in her act. All it was was stories and curse words. Witch are good. If you make it funny. She did not.

Nikki glaser- I liked her 2nd after Robert. Her jokes consisted mostly about her being a bad but the jokes were clever well formed and most important... funny

So like the first season there is a couple of good people and the rest suck

It's called Degenerates of course the topics will be shocking to some people. But was it was great Especially Joey Diaz's episode, that guy was on a completely different level. Thanks for making me laugh this hard!

So that's it?
philfeeley31 October 2018
So that's it: Comedy is nothing but crude sex jokes now, and most not even funny. Why are these people laughing?

I know comedians go to extremes, but does it have to be all about sex? Surely there are other things to laugh about.

Was a big LOS fan, liked Coco, Y.M.H. was fine, but now...
cjamesdueck31 December 2019
This comedy podcast thing is over. The bubble has popped. Too much of any of these people and you start to see how repetitive and derivative all their jokes are. I used to like listening to podcasts like LOS cause I thought they're sense of humor matched mine for the most part, but once you start to see their desperate, narcissistic, cringe personalities come through, it ruins the illusion that these are people you'd want to hang out with. They all try to educate their audience and talk insider comedy crap like they're the "pros" who know funny, and everyone who isn't lame enough to spend their lives reaching and clawing for d-level fame has no understanding of what funny is.

I was a big fan, and I still listen to a couple comedy podcasts (one or two out there that actually make you laugh- don't just talk about making you laugh) but I feel like stand-up is something that only a few people can actually pull off. For some reason we have this boom right now where everyone who thinks they're funny moved to New York or L.A. and is a "working comedian", and they all stink (and they all love to tell us laymen why we don't get how genius their comedy mind is; how brilliant they're latest "black dick" joke is- how taboo!)

Yamaneeka Saunders?! Really?! Not to pick on her cause they all suck but who would ever listen to Yamaneeka Saunders stand-up and think "wow she's so brilliant and but-gustingly funny she should be paid a handsome living for doing what everyone does while hanging out with friends!" Seriously, I have friends that are funny, and I get 10X more laughs hanging out with them for a couple hours than I do listening to any of this stand-up garbage, and odds are, your friends are just as, if not funnier than most of these comics too.

I watched for Joey Diaz and he was great, but the rest...
backup-503623 October 2019
So it starts with a comedian I didn't know, Big Jay - and his episode turned out really good, just not good enough for me to watch the full thing.

Next we have Brad Williams, I've seen him on YouTube and he was funny there. Not here though, because he just had to do the most generic Trump jokes and #metoo female pandering. Absolute cringe, no humor, just lame statements.

Next I just had to skip several other comedians I didn't know because for some reason clearly they kept the best for last - since Joey Diaz and Tom Segura's wife got the last two episodes.

Joey Diaz was great as usual, both funny, real, and tragic. I can't believe that's a real person, but I'm glad he's doing what he does and I love him. Too bad I'm hearing his 'kidnapped guy' bit for the 50th time - give that man a new hour, an INDIVIDUAL special.

And finally I watched Christina P - I know her from two episodes of a podcast I saw on YouTube she runs with Tom Segura. She seemed really fun and cool there. Too bad she clearly didn't feel like sharing her comedic wit or nice personality here - she was insufferable and criminally unfunny. Like her husband. But at least on the podcast she seemed likable, so what happened here? I honestly expected her to be decent, but nope.

So overall, watch the Joey Diaz episode and either skip the rest or play russian roulette to pick one - cause they're mostly bad. Joey shouldn't be in that group - he deserves a special.

My Kind of Comedy
PalmTreeCloud11 November 2018
If you don't like the crude, lude, and borderline offensive you may not like this series. If you do, welcome to the club. I watched this in one evening laughing my a$$ off. I came to watch this because of Joey Diaz and was introduced to additional hilarious, laugh out loud comics. Very enjoyable and will watch again.

Just watch the Nikki Glaser episode
juanquaglia24 July 2022
Nikki Glaser is the only one that made me laugh, and the only one that performs like a professional comedian. The rest are really bad, amateurs at best. Some of the acts and jokes were quite cringey.

Just here to talk about Adrienne lapalucci
AfricanBro15 February 2022
I'm a huge fan of dark humour and I think stand up should be more balanced than it is now because being funny isn't gender based, so to finally find a female comedian doing dark humour and good at it as well is amazing. Hope she gains more recognition so Netflix gives her a chance at a full special. When people give me suggestions for or google female dark comedians (or dark comedians in general), they're usually not that, either just explicit, insulting or both. So I'm happy to find one who's outright funny.

People that get offended shouldn't watch this show.
VictorMQ_8116 August 2021
I started on season two, and before I started saw all the IMDB scores for each episode. Donnell Rawlings (S2:E5) had the lowest rating. I knew inmediately that must have been the best one of all (it was). It was the most offensive. Kudos to the producers for the idea. Shame on people that don't have a sense of humor for rating this show.
