| - Seven 25-28 year-old college friends had their trip ruined by the Amazing Jonathan.
The Amazing Jonathan did jokes that I heard in Elementary School, including the blond with the broken finger joke, stupid pranks, and prop comedy. He was much, much, much less funny in person than on his Comedy Central special. All his cocaine-fueled energy from TV is gone, and he's a sad man executing a sad routine.
There were many racist comments and bits that amounted to feeble malapropism humor. There were few earnest laughs from my section of the audience. We were depressed at the end of this show -- we didn't have the energy to be angry because his show was so depressing. His act is a crushingly sad reminder of everything in Vegas that's used up, dirty, and vacuous. The man himself amounts to the living embodiment of a dying dream in a talentless shell -- he's clearly running on fumes and $6.99 prime rib dinners.
No one with a high school diploma will enjoy this show. You would make better use of your money by burning it, hitting on 20 in blackjack, or eating every dollar bill you have. This show's only redeeming feature for me is that I can now warn future potential buyers of its utter worthlessness and crushing depression.
In case you think I'm just some weirdo with idiosyncratic tastes, here's a numbered list of some things I find funny from most funny to least: 1. The Office, 2. Anchorman, 3. Curb Your Enthusiasm..... 1429. Michael Vick's treatment of animals, 1430. Genocide, 1431. The Amazing Jonathan.
