time: 66 minutes
When you watch Rodney Carrington on stage,
you have to expect redneck humor. In his latest comedy special, titled Her
Comes the Truth, Carrington discusses his divorce, his massive weight gain, his
lack of motivation, sex, Viagra, crabs, Donald Trump, Mexicans and many other
topics.
This Netflix special starts strong, with good
material that made me laugh hard. Then, one thing the comic said became a
little too true and apparent: He lacks motivation. As it went along, the
material started to get weaker and weaker. By the end, I was curious to hear
his country songs, which are usually funny. I was disappointed here. The new
tunes were not that great, and then Carrington rehashed a few of his better
known hits, but, in the process, he delivered inferior versions. As a singer,
you can get away with coasting on the hits. As a comic, you have to keep it
fresh.
So, while this show had its moments, it was a
disappointment to me in the end.
