Margaret Cho: PsyCHO (2015) Reviews

• she isn't as funny as she use to be

  Is it me or has Margaret Cho lost her "funny"? It seems to me that over the course of the last few years that she has become less funny and more mainstream. Before during with her stand up it was more edgy and hard hitting and funny. Most of her comedy from pre 2003 was amazing and insightful. But now it feels like she just gets on stage and drones on for however long she has been booked. There were parts of this stand up that were funny, but for the most part it was like sitting in a class waiting for the bell to ring. Through out her career she has undergone many changes, from coming out to weight loss. And before her comedy reflected the funnier aspects of her life, but now is kind of a sad dribble of what she once was. Don't get me wrong, I will continue to watch her stand up routine in hopes of her making me laugh like she once did. But for right now I don't find her all that funny any more.

• I experienced physical pain watching it.

  A lot of screaming, really bad impersonations it is about as funny as hospital cancer ward. Not only I didn't laugh (assuming the intention of this piece was to make me laugh because honestly couldn't tell) I didn't even smile a single time. But what I did do a lot was cringe. At one point she started talking about great comedians who died and says the word "sad" about 9 times within a minute. Also just because you say V@g1na and p*33y a hundred million times, won't make you funny. How did this get over 6 points on this site is beyond me. I wish this could be unseen. I don't even want to waste any more time on this review because I already wasted time I'll never get back watching it, but there is a minimum of ten lines I have to write.
