New In Town Explicit Lyrics

Humor is so subjective. If my review is to be of any use to you, you might want to know, beforehand, what normally tickles my funny bone. So, quickly, here's a rundown. If our tastes jive, then you might heed this review more closely, otherwise, look the other way.FAVORITES: I can still listen to Chappelle's stand-up over and over again. This also holds true for Brian Regan, Jim Gaffigan, Bill Burr, Mitch Hedberg, Greg Giraldo (RIP), Paul F. Tompkins, and -- of course -- Louis C.K., who is always at the top of my rotation these days. I absolutely love Norm MacDonald's most recent album, but the one before that -- which isn't stand-up but a series of sketches -- left me cold.GETTING RUSTY: I used to love Patton Oswalt, Doug Benson, Daniel Tosh, Mike Birbiglia, and Mitch Fatel. Although I still keep my eyes open for these guys and always get their latest albums, I have lately been rather disappointed in them. I'm not sure if it's because they're getting stale or if it's because my tastes are migrating or if it's a combination of the two. Either way.JURY'S NOT OUT YET: I really liked Jeselnik's latest album, but multiple listens have revealed a tired formula behind most of the jokes. They still make me laugh, but I hope he works a little harder to expand his material on the next album. Same with Amy Schumer, Aziz Ansari, and Kyle Kinane.NO, THANK YOU: I'm a huge fan of David Cross the actor, but I don't care for his comedy albums. I'm right on point with his politics and personal views, but I'm just not a huge fan of the angry comic schtick. This includes Bill Hicks, George Carlin, Lewis Black (to a lesser extent), Doug Stanhope, and Marc Maron (who I can't stand to listen to for more than a few minutes). Other comedians use material that I find uninspired, cliched, rote, or weak: Bert Kreischer, Bo Burnham, Brian Posehn, Joe Rogan, Christopher Titus, Greg Behrendt, John Pinette, Jen Kirkman, Steve Byrne, and Robert Schimmel.UP & DOWN: Really like Dane Cook's early work, but I've staled on him since his Madison Square album, which grated on my nerves. Chris Rock I find consistently hilarious, but I find watching him more enjoyable than listening. Same with Dimitri Martin. Haven't heard anything from Dave Attell recently that I liked, although I listened to SKANKS FOR THE MEMORIES religiously when it came out. Same with Harland Williams. Eugene Mirman, Greg Proops, Nick Swardson, and Todd Barry are talented, but I've found myself alternately loving and hating their material.That having been said: I did not like this album.I enjoyed THE TOP PART much more. It seemed more conversational and quirky, as well as more inventive and interesting. This album sounded far too much like it was trying to be jokey, and Mulaney's style isn't conducive to that. He's got the boy-next-door likability that ingratiates him to the audience, so his humor works best when he's telling a story (see The Xanax Story or the Salt-and-Pepper Diner tale from his last album). When he's landing punchlines, though, they feel obvious and forced, and he doesn't do it with a very keen sense of timing. He sounds like he's trying to be a stand-up, when his act works better when he plays the Funny Friend You Wish You Hung Out With More Often.I also found myself enjoying him more when he tried to step out of his own voice. I especially enjoy comedians who can create personas and characters (Regan, Tompkins, Chappelle, Gaffigan, etc.), and Mulaney does that a few times to great effect (the bit that the album draws its name from is an excellent example of this), but he doesn't do it enough. Since -- to my ears -- he's got the kind of clenched throat muppet voice that gets annoying after awhile, it's not just funny to hear him try on different personalities, but it's also something of an aural relief from what is otherwise fairly monotonous delivery.He seems like a guy I would love to get to know, but this set just didn't do it for me. I'll be around for the next one, though.

I've been listening to Mulaney for a while on XM radio -- and think he is one of THE very best around! Young as he is, his material is clever and unique. His timing and tone are stellar, and this album is incredible -- I listen over and over and over, and his delivery knocks me out every single time. The stories are hysterical, with his tendency to laugh at himself and still come up with social critiques. He is going to rise higher and higher on the stand-up scene. I just hope that he doesn't get a mediocre TV sitcom -- seems to doom most everyone except Ray Romano. Mulaney is a genuinely funny guy, someone you can love and laugh at, with enough madness and pathos and hilarity to 'kill' in every routine.

I love John Mulaney's clean comedy. Despite that I am an instructor on mental illness for a non-profit organization and he makes a lot of jokes about "crazy people" and "unlimited crazy currency", he's hilarious! Nothing he's saying is untrue. I listen to John when I need a pick me up or just when I need a good laugh. I'm trying to get my friends hooked on him too so we'll have something interesting to talk about. This album is not as funny as The Comeback Kid, but love it just the same. "Delta Airlines" is my favorite bit on this album.

Very entertaining comedian, I had my laughs

I discovered John Mulaney through the Amazon Vine program. His album,  The Top Part , was astonishingly funny. An added bonus was that his material, unlike someone such as say, Dane Cook, was clean enough that I could allow younger listeners in our house to enjoy him as well. In  The Top Part , John established himself as an excellent comedian with excellent timing, delivery, and material. In his new album, New In Town, he continues with entirely new material that is just as good, and with the same excellent timing and delivery. John's album sits on our shelf proudly right next to Bill Cosby, Lewis Black, Kathleen Madigan, and the rest of our favorite comedians. These albums get good play every time we have a road trip, and we love all of them, and John Mulaney is our current favorite.5 stars.

John Mulaney is really on a roll right now, and this is seriously funny!

My friends and I have listened to John Mulaney's albums during long roadtrips and they are just perfect. Of course, we've co-opted his lines into our own vernacular now ["You know why? Because I'm a strong, Asian woman." is a common retort.]I recommend this album, as well as his previous one, if you want something that gets funnier with multiple listens.Great album!

...which admittedly is a personal favorite. And at the start of this I was definitely having a reaction of "it's still John Mulaney, but he doesn't seem as funny" but by the time I was done I had laughed plenty. Totally worth the price of entrance.

A put you in a good mood cd. Lots of humorous story telling.

Awesome flick. Funny guy
