Negative Positive
Title: Dreary.
Review: There's not much less funny in this world than Jackie Martling. His approach to comedy is to throw out as many "jokes" as possible, hoping that the infitesimal few which draw a laugh will drown out the following collection of unoriginal, old, and most of all unfunny observations. Shawn Wayans recently said words to the effect that "There's nothing sadder than a joke about something which no longer has relevance". Martling's work on the Howard Stern show and his live act shows this to perfection. In the new world of "shock" comedy, someone obviously forgot to tell the "Jokeman" that a shock without a valid punchline just points to a sad little man who thought his class clown status would play on the big stage.
Is the review positive or negative?
