Definitely goes over a ton of controversial subjects so will likely offend a lot of people for differing reasons. I'd say over 90% of his material can be considered offensive. He talks fast so there's a lot of jokes. I'd say 1/3 funny 1/3 decent 1/3 corny. One second I'd think he's being over the top or offensive for the shock. Then he'd do the same thing but I'd find it funny. Really tough to judge when every joke is so unique to the person hearing it. But if u don't get offended you'll find more than enough to stick through. I watched alone and lold at least a dozen times. Going into this I'd seen his other specials no more than once and always thought he was decent. This special was better than expected to me. But ya a lot of the jokes weren't huge crowd pleasers so it's hard to recommend to everyone. I also forget his old material specifically but know he's always leaned intro controversial topics so this seemed on brand for him.
Feels like he's gone more mainstream to appeal to vaster audience. Especially since it's a Hulu exclusive (maybe they limited his usual odd style). A lot of what makes his other projects (smiling friends, yolo, bushworld) so great is their weirdness and originality of which this show lacks in comparison. Everything seems watered down, from the boring lead/family to damo and Darren(original shorts of them on YouTube). The daughters storyline is awkwardly forced and agonizingly unoriginal(which they could've poked fun at, didn't). The sons boring and lame but they could've done a lot more with leaning into that too. The moms basic as well. The dads basic which is his shtick but doesn't standout comedically when most the other main characters are just as tame/uninspired.
There's still that kooky Aussie charm/self deprecation in it that makes me love him in general and kept me watching his show to the end. If you like this and haven't seen his other shows you should definitely check them out.
