Corey W 02/15/2023 Sketch comedies are notoriously difficult to gauge and given the inherent nature of the medium they can be described as uneven at best. Michael Che's HBO show avoids most of this by having a theme, and often a story, throughout the episode. Combine that with Che's ability to tap into the current cultural zeitgeist and you have a very funny show that mostly hits its mark due in large part to the topicality of the themes embedded within each episode. There are bits that go on too long, or bits that don't speak to every sense of humor (as would be expected in any series like this), but much more works here than doesn't putting That Damn Michael Che into the top tier of current sketch comedies.

See more prawnda s 06/15/2022 honestly the first season is barely watchable, what with his extremely poorly timed bootlicking "not all cops are bad" schtick that seems to be the main recurring joke of the season and had no place being released mid BLM protest.

I always saw him as a n affable Wayne Brady type of comedian but Che takes to his own platform to show everyone how edgy he can be and how edgy his comedy really is when he's not being censored by the man. If nothing else, this series answers the question: what would the Dave Chappelle show be like if it wasn't hosted by a funny comedian. Because it's a straight rip off (sans audience) and Che has even adopted Dave's edgy political views.(he hates masks in public! He hates Black Lives Matter! He refuses to be a black cliché!! And he wants you to know how edgy he is!!!) Chappelle realized he could expand his fan demographic if he was sympathetic to the MAGA causes and demographic. It's always seemed way more like a business decision than personal beliefs so it's hard to tell where Che's political intentions really land because clearly when he grows up, he just wants to be Dave Chappelle.
