Simon Amstell review – time to move on after Hollywood party crush

πŸ€” I feel me 😊 Simon Amstell's comedy has always been super relatable, but sometimes I wish he'd try something new instead of sticking to what makes him funny πŸ™ƒ. This latest special just felt like more of the same old thing – awkwardness, self-deprecation, and a dash of vulnerability πŸ’”. Don't get me wrong, he's still a genius when it comes to crafting jokes that make you LOL πŸ˜‚, but for this show to really stand out, I think he needed to take some risks and push himself in new directions 🌈. As it is, it feels like more of the same ol' Simon Amstell therapy session 🀝. Still enjoyed it, though! πŸ‘
 
I'm not sure why people are hyped for this standup special... I mean, Simon's still being super self-aware and funny, which is cool, but doesn't exactly break new ground. It feels like more of the same old therapy-comedy vibe we've seen from him before πŸ€”. I get that it's relatable to fans who know his persona, but for others, it might just be meh. Where's the risk-taking? The bold experimentation? That's what makes a comedy special worth watching in my book πŸ’―. Amstell's still got skills, no doubt, but "I Love It Here" feels like more of a comfortable rehashing than a true departure 🎀.
 
I felt kinda meh about Simon's latest standup special πŸ€”πŸ‘€. I mean, I love him as a comedian and all, but this one didn't really feel like a game-changer for me 😐. He's still got his signature self-analytical humor going on, which is part of what makes him funny, but it's just not enough to keep me on the edge of my seat πŸŽ‰. I think some people might find it relatable and endearing, especially if they're fans like me who've been following his journey, but for others, it might feel a bit too same-old-same-old 😴. It would have been cool to see him try out new material or tackle different themes, you know? πŸ€—
 
I watched it πŸ€”, gotta say it's like he's stuck in a rut πŸ˜’. Same old self-deprecating humor and vulnerability vibes from before... I mean, don't get me wrong, Simon's still got skills πŸ’Ό, but this feels like more of the same old therapy-comedy routine that's worked for him in the past πŸ“š. Where's the risk-taking? The new perspective? It's like he's trying to hold onto a sentiment or emotion instead of moving forward with something fresh and exciting 😐. Still enjoyed the bits about self-help books tho 🀣, but overall it just didn't feel like a departure from his usual style 🚫.
 
I just watched this standup special and I'm like, yeah, Simon's still funny lol 🀣 but he didn't really try anything new here
~ 10/10 would've been more interesting if he explored different topics tho πŸ‘€
 
the thing about simon amstell's comedy is that he's got this really unique tone that's like, super relatable but also kinda annoying at the same time πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ i mean, i love how he just dives into his own neuroses and makes it funny, but sometimes it feels like he's not taking enough risks or trying to push boundaries. for me, "i love it here" felt like more of a greatest hits compilation than a bold new direction - he's got some awesome bits about self-help books and his celebrity crushes, but they're all just variations on the same theme πŸ€”
