Watched this Saturday night on HBO. Thought it was really good. I can see how his delivery may turn some people off since he likes to slow things down and use pauses at certain points, but this was clearly a step in the right direction from his first special (which I also liked). He seems to be really focused on trying to be not only funny but poignant and even though some of the topics are well-covered territory, I feel like his take on them is atypical and original.
Highly recommended.

I feel like this dude should be more popular than he is. IMO, his stand-up is much better than say Burress.
Re: New Jerrod Carmichael Stand Up Special "8"
I loved it. He's definitely not for the easily offended but the darkness of his takes are really awesome to me. Kinda reminds me of patrice o'neal in the sense that he takes topics and stances that are so outside the box but then explains his side of it in a way that makes you be like "yeah, maybe animal rights aren't that important".

A friend of mine has referred to that style as "arguing the truth with you", which I've now adopted as a term.
And yeah, definitely a step up from his last one, which wasn't bad either.

Loved it thanks for the recommendation... it's like he's doing an hour long monologue instead of just regular stand up lol

Re: New Jerrod Carmichael Stand Up Special "8"
stumbled upon this and was really impressed; there's definitely a Patrice influence, but his delivery is really solid.

I also watched this shit randomly yesterday and was thoroughly impressed. He killed it and wasn't accommodating/corny in front of a very mixed crowd. Been recommending this to people since
