"It's fun to be married. I've never been supervised before."

I don't know John Mulaney from any of his other work, but I'm doing a little homework before seeing him in person at a comedy venue in about a month. This special comes from the Chicago Theatre in 2015, with Mulaney's routine delving into such topics as growing up Catholic and being an altar boy, recently getting married and not having kids, smoking weed, and crazy people in general. This one seemed to have slightly more profanity than his 2012 show called 'New Kid in Town', but that didn't seem to be his primary focus as opposed to a lot of other comics who drop a four letter word into almost every sentence. Mulaney closed his routine with a funny story about meeting Bill Clinton as a child; the hook there being that the former president had college classes with the comedian's mother. It could have been totally risque, but Mulaney managed to keep it above board.

Not funny, didn't laugh.

I don't really get the appeal of John Mulaney. Physically and comedically. I found this special unspecial. I laughed once.

My lonesome laugh was at the real estate bit. I love the way he says "aren't" And I think the back to the future bit was genuinely terrible.

never gets old

I've seen this at least 5 times. John Mulaney's delivery is genius. I really think you can see this echoed in a lot of skits online nowadays- the way he frames his jokes and his intonation have spread into mainstream comedy. He can spin a very mundane topic into cry laughter. In particular, his commentary on the Catholic Church is very funny- he knows how to poke fun at his own upbringing and personality in a way that doesn't come off as attention seeking.
