“Succumbing to the pressure... Netflix wrapped their entire roster of commissioned 2022 comedy specials into a compilation... think of it as watching the world's best lineup show with their tightest new jokes!” Deadant · 3 years ago
While overall ratings on platforms like IMDb are low, some viewers and critics found value in its utility as a discovery tool:
“This type of movie is a good idea, but I don't feel like this is the correct way to do it. It did make me want to watch a stand up show, but only so I can tell myself that stand up this year wasn't that bad.” IMDb
It was noted as ideal for casual viewing or playing in the background during social gatherings when you want quick laughs without needing to follow a narrative.
Reviewers from DeadAnt recommend viewing it as a curated lineup show. It allows you to sample the "tightest" minutes from dozens of 2022 specials—covering topics from the pandemic to cancel culture—without committing to an entire hour of a comedian you might not like.
However, some publications suggested specific ways to enjoy the special, highlighting its value as a "tasting menu" for modern comedy. Optimistic Perspectives
