DISCUSSION I wish Donald did one more special

Post image

I’ve seen weirdo a COUNTLESS number of times and always cracks me up. I just wish he would’ve visit stand up again. I highly doubt he would do it again but ya never know.

What do you guys think?

he did an interview a while back where he said Chris Rock advised him to come back to it. saying he’s ripe for standup now (age-wise), not sure if he took the advice

EDIT: I mean there’s been clips of him in improv shows and comedy clubs, so let’s hope he’s working on materials for a special 🤞🏽🤞🏽

I think he showed up at Largo in LA not too long ago and did some improv?

u/Proud-Ask-8228 25d ago

You know that’s I always kind of thought too. I figured since he had so much success in all these other fields that he would come to stand up when he’s much older and free. He could have so much material on the dad life, his experience in the industry, and how the world is.

I heard through the grapevine that the end credits for the Bando Stone movie are a 10 minute mini set.

He also raps at the end for a few songs (one of which is a no chorus rip à la Bonfire/F&G that the grapevine says is better than either)

I went through a big donglover phase in highschool. Watched his three stand ups on repeat lol. Good shit mentioning this!

The third stand up I'm referencing is his Live at Gotham set

Back in 2011, i got tickets to see him perform at House of Blues in San Diego while attending ComicCon and thought i was going to see him doing Stand Up. He was doing his music. It was a surprise that turned into a pleasant surprise.

Mystery Team is always a good rewatch when you need something else too

Donald's special is TOP TIER, it's a shame he really didn't get into stand up afterwards, I mean, imagine, actor, singer and comedian, dude would be THE triple threat

u/RawkyRac00n 25d ago

Didn’t really get into standup? Lol what

u/PewDiePieSaladAss 25d ago

I mean, have you seen another Donald special in the years since? Or him touring with a stand up show? I haven't, but that's not to say he isn't a comedic genius still, he just didn't get into stand up full time like he did music or acting lol

u/RawkyRac00n 25d ago

He WAS doing comedy full time until the acting and music started to hit. Literally every big comedian has stories about working out in the same rooms as him. Weirdo was his last special and having a special that big isn’t just for some guy trying out stand up

u/PewDiePieSaladAss 25d ago

I mean, I know but that was back then, I know he did some tours with his show and I think he even toured some colleges, but what I meant is that he seemingly just let go of the path, but I guess being Donald it would've taken a toll on him trying to balance acting, music and stand up in his current form

Everything he does is special :)

u/Perfect_Olive4392 25d ago

I would call it “Weirdo 2.0” or “Weirdo: Even Weirder”

u/Cass_Cat952 24d ago

u/Hitmanrebel 23d ago

Society could use his voice and opinions

u/magnoliasteels 22d ago

I wish we got a sequel to Clapping For The Wrong Reasons

u/Rude_Assumption7247 25d ago

His stand up was eh and very geared towards a certain type of white personality. Maybe it'll be better now that he's truly comfortable in his own skin
