Ali Wong: Don Wong

I watched Ali's earlier standup specials and enjoyed them a lot, I thought she was original and showed real potential. This one is a gigantic miss though. She doesn't seem to have any new material at all, there isn't a single fresh thought in there, she's just repeating the exact same jokes from the previous shows, but for some reason, in more graphic detail, and they are dragging on way too long. Maybe because I'm not American I can't understand the cultural significance of her being nasty, but for me it does nothing. I'm not prude, it's just pointless. I'm hoping that it's some kind of female empowerment thing, otherwise I can only assume that she's doing it for shock value in a desperate attempt for attention. I sense it's a mix of both, as she really has nothing much to say.
