    He's just annoying and smug. There's a proto-wokeness going on here that i guess I've always gotten from him, and never enjoyed his stand-up. I also saw some promo where he and his gf were playing with finger puppets that was just so contrived and cringey it made me judge him b4 he even shot his first "joke." This is the comic the DNC would love to hire for the Correspondents Dinner. SoftHe's just annoying and smug.

    “The Great Depresh” is not Gulman’s funniest special, though it has some great jokes, including an inspired bit about water fountains, but it’s the one that will probably appeal to the largest number of people. It has far too many fresh takes and idiosyncratic elements to be called hack.

    Over the course of an hour and 15 minutes, "The Great Depresh" crackles with certain energy — a series of slow builds to these lightning strike moments. This skillful pacing and delivery, in combination with Gulman's fresh, crushing, and contemporary material makes this special a must-watch.

    The laughs are consistent. But it’s a hybrid production, as it connects Gulman’s stage shtick to personal scenes from his life, and in that way it’s special. It’s a portrait of an ordinary man, his well-earned triumph, and his desire to make living easier for others who are in despair.
