Mae Martin: SAP

Genuinely genius, so hilarious. Real actual jokes!

It ends with a whimper when it needed a bang. If the audience misses the point of the long story that is your closer, you need to work on it more. Begging "You truly must get on board" called to mind Jeb Bush saying "Please clap". Up until that point, it was OK: low-energy storytelling like a lot of stand-up these days, but with some amusing insights. Unfortunately, not a good introduction to the large Netflix audience.

I stumbled upon Feel Good a few weeks ago and ended up binge watching both seasons. The Mae Martin in SAP is exactly the same person whose journey I became invested in while watching the series. Yes, it doesn't follow the usual laugh-a-minute stand-up recipe and if this is your first exposure to Mae, I can see how it might seem underwhelming. But I love that wide-eyed nervous energy, subdued delivery and off-beat timing. The writing is intelligent and sincere, with a social conscience and more than a handful of important messages delivered during the course of the routine. If slap-stick comedy is your thing, then Mae Martin certainly won't be. But if you're looking for somebody authentic and funny in their own way, without scoring cheap laughs at the expense of others, then pull up a chair and enjoy some Mae magic ❤️

Wanted to challenge myself to see if I could watch this and find anything funny, I did not almost got one smirk but no not one laugh.

Had me cackling the whole way through, so touching and relatable. Mae is incredibly clever, insightful and hilarious. My kind of chaos, thanks for the sap

Not funny at all, where were the jokes?!

THIS SPECIAL I'M LOVING MAE, so damn cool. You can tell they have stories because they've lived passionately & are a deeply introspective soul, so listen up y'all! They manage to be LOL funny, kind, & their story-telling will stick with me (Candlestick & snow globe)…..As a counselor me-self, their clever insights woven into this story of appreciation for the absurdities in the face of the doom of ‘the veil' lifted around humanity… cleverly heart warming without being *sappy ;) Also, considering I am a human first, counselor second :), I also appreciate their approach to calling out the ‘Big Comedy' players ‘punching down' basic human rights & how completely wrong they are in adding more flint to the fiery narrative ultimately resulting in more oppression. As creatives in time of so much hateful discourse, bravery is taking a hard-look at yourselves & whether you are aligning with your core values….a major core of creativity is Freedom, so it's your choice to accept an invitation to celebrate our differences & fight for equal rights OR you are choosing to join the side of hate, empowering bigotry & oppression, & then having the audacity to call it ‘science'. Everything Mae mentioned here about gender systems as a SOCIAL CONSTRUCT, how the variability of biological sexes completely destroys any of your fear-based misunderstandings ‘that biological and gender constructs are connected is a scientific fact' anyway, & from my view, it is really just embarrassing how poorly science and social sciences have been taught in schools to allow for that much bigotry & oppression to exist in a world with so much supposed ‘sophistication'…. I also appreciate Mae's approach to calling out the hypocrisy of colonialism. I hope that these giants in the creative sphere learn how to take a backseat, as they should with that much power accumulated through ‘stardom', recognize that to grow in such a career now is to mentor, celebrate and listen to the future generations of creatives & TRUST that they have worthy commentary to LISTEN to..…not to ‘punch down', misinform the public, & add more hate, that's the death of art. Considering some have said the core to comedy is sorrow….what a shame to feel so righteous and be so wrong ….GO MAE!

I liked this, very gentle and heartwarming. Not laugh out loud funny, but it made me smile.

I didnt enjoy it at all. The entire thing felt pretentious and forced.

I found this special to be boring and not funny. I didn't laugh at all and found it dull.
