Ali Wong: Don Wong

Ali is a gifted comedy writer! Initially, her comedy seems to be low brow only, but as she continues, her jokes add up to a delightful and vulnerable treat. I must say I also feel a bit better about being single, but maybe not?! Gotta watch and decide!

Don't know what the reviews are about on here.

I'm a white British male (same age as Ali Wong) and watched this with my wife - found it utterly hilarious.

Very smutty and funny.

Really enjoyed.

I sat down to watch the 2022 Netflix stand-up special titled "Ali Wong: Don Wong" by stand-up comedian Ali Wong. I have seen a single or two of her previous shows, but I can't claim to have been much of a fan really. So I wasn't really harboring much of any expectations to this 2022 show.

And not even five minutes into the foray, I was on the verge of shutting it off to go watch something else. But I opted to stick with it and rode it out to the very end. So why was I about to call it quits? Well, it was painfully obvious that this would be an hour of crude genital and sex comedy. So it was very much something straight out of the 1990s, and that type of comedy has been done and seen to the point of it being redundant and having lost most of its appeal.

So needless to say that most of this one hour comedy special was hard to sit through given the fact that Ali Wong was essentially just spewing sex jokes. Obviously there is an audience out there for that kind of comedy, as you can see in the audience. However, I prefer a bit more mature type of comedy, so I wasn't overly enjoying this 2022 comedy special.

Sure, I will say that Ali Wong does have a great on-stage chemistry and has a very powerful presence. She is good at staging her jokes and delivering the punchlines, no doubt about that. But the contents of the show's material just fell sort of short of finding appeal with me.

My rating of "Ali Wong: Don Wong" lands on a four out of ten stars. It would have ranked much higher if the contents had been of a more mature level and sat above the belt.

Ali Wong is back after having a baby and having done a Netflix movie and she is on fire. You might think success and popularity curbed her venom but it did not. She is hysterical and raw. This is not for the skiddish or the prude. Her look at relationships, gender norms, and social matters is all her own and I was actually crying at parts. The addition of her motherhood and marriage stories are priceless. This is as good, or maybe better, than her prior specials, and they were really original and good. Ali Wong is fearless. The crazy stuff she says in this special only she could get away with and still be amazingly lovable. Check this one out and then check it out again.

It's explicit - but mild comedy wise.. I've never watched one of her shows but heard all the jokes atleast once and they are just not very funny anymore. - Women are always right and bossy. Men want sex and I don't like them but tolerate them. I am rich and like semen. Cool cool cool and? Somebody else said it's like comedy from the 90s and I agree. She's good at delivery the material just fell flat.
