Whew! Trump supporters can give it but can't take it. Don't you ever speak ill about Trump. I doubt many of them even knew who Earthquake was until they saw this Dave Chappelle endorsed special on Netflix. Anyways, Earthquake's set here was decent it's definitely not his best but I had a few laughs. Hopefully Dave keeps this up with more veteran comics.

A Very Funny Guy
tkdlifemagazine1 March 2022
I might not have rushed to watch this if this wasn't produced by Dave Chappelle, but I am glad I did. A very funny guy and a good stand up comedian. He tells good stories about the hypocrisy of people's behavior, from the vaccine hesitancy to medical insurance. He had the audience genuinely in stitches. His stories of going to the doctor are hysterical. He gets political too, and makes some great points. Any supporter of John McCain is ok by me. The show being in Washington DC helps. His humor is very racy and adult-not for the whole family. It is smart- which really helps to understand his relationship to Chappelle, the smartest comedy talent of our day. I hope to see more of Earthquake.
Hilarious!!!!

Not so much if you support 45. His supporters are leaving bad reviews because they have soft feelings. I found the special to be very funny. Dave Chappell struck gold with Earthquake. He has always been a gem. As a DC native we are beyond proud of this brother.
HILARIOUS yet brilliant got em talking

This Special is brilliant from beginning to end. Comedy to the core. In today's world if a particular group comes after your head it's a sign of success. In other words IF YOU AIN'T GOT NO HATERS YOU AIN'T POPPIN!😁✌🏾
Earthquake is Hilarious!! This is what stand-up comedy is about!
freemantraceyjr1 March 2022
I was literally in tears from laughing the whole time!! Earthquake is such a genius and he's naturally funny without even trying! Don't understand the bad reviews at all! To anyone that needs a great laugh, I recommend watching this! Don't pay the low ratings any attention at all. The only problem I had with this stand-up was the fact it wasn't long enough! P. S. To the Trump supporters quit being sensitive and tainting the rating of this masterpiece!
Pay No Mind To The Trump Supporters Reviews

Earthquake is hilarious period point blank. But you have Trump supporters up here complaining about the same exact things Trump supporters were complaining about funny how it sounds but years after when Obama wasn't President they couldn't keep his name out of their mouths smdh lol. Obama wad great and all races loved him.
LOL should've expected as much

Imagine a white comedian doing a long segment about killing Obama supporters. Well, here we have the alternative, so of course it's on the Netflix frontpage and endorsed by Chappelle.
I like how he thinks Trump supporters are crazy into Trump, while at the same time being an Obama supporter who's praising Obama to high heavens. Man, if only you could realize how you and that other side are exactly the same cringe. But magically you think your side is right, and Trump supporters should be killed.
Well anyways, it's my fault for even expecting anything good out of an American comedian. They always bring Trump up even after he hasn't been relevant for years, they always endorse the vaccine (weird, huh? All of them?), and it's pretty much the same talking points.
The real sad part is this guy killed at first and I was thinking "hell yeah, he's gonna keep it fresh, no politics, please no politics!" But nah, god forbid all Netflix comedians aren't exactly the same.
Oh and I'm neither an Obama nor a Trump supporter. You might be shocked to find out that people who live outside the US exist and we are actually the majority of Netflix viewers, and we don't care about US politics.
So it's pathetic if you use the lazy "Trump supporters mad" excuse. You know that's not it. You're just being an unfunny hypocrite doing tired old garbage every other Netflix comedian has been doing since 2015. But hey, if you're lazy in your comedy, you'll surely be lazy in your excuses for this having low ratings.

Hilarious!

I haven't laughed this hard in ages. Thank goodness for the pause button. I laughed until I couldn't breathe. If I were there for the show, they would've had to carry me out on a stretcher. Thanks whiners. You help prove the points given. Keep up the good work!
Pure Genius

Hilarious! HIis energy keeps the laughter going. I'm sure this was taped last year but everything is still relevant. EVERYTHING! Including you know who. Hopefully the "you know whos" will understand, if not go get you prostate exam with a big knuckle Dr.
Hilarious

Yes, yes and yes! Truth hurts, but Quake was on time with every topic. I'm approaching 50 with 2 kids, one 18, and one almost grown, raised in the suburbs and not the inner city like I was. Nothing but facts from start to finish? And the Trump supporters who are mad about his comments fail to look at what Jan. 6th woud have looked like if it were black protesters climbing walls, destroying property and beating police. We get killed for less.
Tear your mouth out funny.
jamesemoultrie6 March 2022
Anyone who rates this less than 7 either can't relate to his comedy or they are one those soft a** suburban kids. I was in tears the entire special. His delivery is unique, but as always he is a professional. This is definitely a "must see".
Blind humor
warat1117 March 2022
Comedy is funny because its grounded in truth no matter how you spin it. That's why people love dave chappelle. Sorry but Dave I know he's your friend but this one was just "let's make fun of it" instead of peeling the layers of nuances and make it funny.
LMAO don't watch if you're a trump supporter
davidridei3 March 2022
Show was funny. Love how it's getting bad reviews because of the trump supporters bit. I don't get it why do people watch a comedy show and what to expect. I find every bit funny. I've been following him for years and glad to see him on Netflix. Now the world isn't so sensitive and you can actually have black comedians on Netflix I love it.
I Expected The Funny, But Earthquake Came With The Hilarious...
Mercury_Virgo30 March 2022
Without question, the funniest stand-up comedy special I have ever seen on Netflix. I have watched this special at least three (3) times, and I watch it every time I am in dire need of a laugh. It will never get old. Due to age like fine wine.
Earthquake scored more points with this stand-up comedy special than Wilt Chamberlain did during his epic 100-point single game scoring output!
"Legendary" is a most appropriate title.

Funny stories with great timing and delivery...

Pending your understanding of the mechanics of Comedy, this was a gem! Body cavity exams, health, politics, and kid rearing made for funny stories and punchlines. One does not have to agree with his political view and or how to discipline kids to get a laugh. Once Earthquake or any comedian for that matter says, "if it were me" then prepare for the made up "story", it may be some bs or not... and if you can enjoy the rediculousness of the story with comedic storytelling mechanics, you just may get a laugh. Like having health insurance that won't cover a rectal exam if it's done with a finger, really? But the story about it, mixed with his style of storytelling is hilarious to me. I personally know of Trump supporters who laighed at the story because of the rediculousness of the story... Unless you find truth in it. I laughed with every story told. Again, Awesome storytelling with great comedy mechanics.

This had to be one of THE FUNNIEST comedy shows ever!! I laughed until my stomach hurt. Everything was funny, ESPECIALLY the Trump jokes. (Excuse the Trump supporters for their comments and ratings as they "Hail Trump" like he's the Messiah or something.) He did not come to pacify supporters, and obviously, they aren't his targeted audience.
This was a well-needed show with a great legend who always brings it when he comes to the stage. It was raw, unfiltered, and genuinely hilarious. Dave did that and needs to continue to do these shows. I will probably watch this another 10 times before the end of the month.

Killing white people?
phojar8 May 2022
I thought he was doing ok until we got to the Obama is a saint and I want to shoot a bunch of white people today part. No thanks. As soon as a comedian goes there I'm done. I'm tired of it.
You can give it but when it's flipped is not ok. Is not ok either way to say crap like this.
Be better.

This could have been good but he takes great joy in wanting to shoot white people. I did not find that funny. Reminded me of Ashli Babbitt who was gunned down by a black officer on Jan 6. Not funny.
Some parts are funny but he seems to hate white people.

Hypocritical and Cringe Worthy
daltonkeeton1 March 2022
Dave's recommendation over hyped this for me. Earthquake is a great comedian but he immediately went to pushing his political stance. Starts with vaccines, how great Obama care was. To shooting trump supporters all in the first 15 minutes.
Trash. At least Dave is funny
donaramu1 March 2022
People thinking bad reviews are because Trump supporters are sensitive are wrong. Funny is funny. The dude is clearly brainwashed, but if he was funny, it wouldn't matter. He's not pure trash, but Dave is 1000% better. Not worth the time wasted watching it. And Dave shares many of his views of Trump supporters.
Indecipherable
daze-0949015 March 2022
Hard to laugh when when the comedian can barely say a coherent word. Why are people laughing as soon as he comes on stage? It's not like he's wearing a clown outfit. Or maybe he is. My fashion sense is not that good.
Racist Comedians are not funny
bbv-692371 March 2022
This was OK to begin with and then the Obama worship started and then the Trump attacks and then the jokes about killing whites. If this was a white comedian doing the opposite BLM would be on the streets and the show would be banned. Political hypocrisy needs to stop - it is dividing the people and causing trouble - which some politicians use (both sides).
Tried it, but it made me cringe, not laugh
reamiger-728842 March 2022
I gave him two stars, for a little bit of the medical humor but he's so political like a preacher spouting what he believes and trying to convince others to have the same blind faith, and when he was avocating for how he would be shooting people I couldnt watch anymore. I might even agree with him on some things but it wasnt funny just political attacks. Reminded me of the really unfunny red head Michelle Wolf, just was not funny unfortunatly.
