oh man I love this guy! laughed so hard. can't wait to watch the rest of his stand up

Upbeat the whole time.

Matt Braunger is upbeat and has great energy, seems like the kind of guy you would want to have a beer with. His special is funny, not edgy but amusing.

Set Dressing: Small theater with an outdoor backdrop and taxidermy animals and a stool. He is in jeans, navy button up shirt rolled up sleeves and casual boots.
Memorable Bit: Being 39 and single.

One of my favorite stand-up specials ever. I got so sad when Netflix removed it from their inventory.

The only redemptive part of the show is when Braunger levels with the crowd, opens up, and gets real. That is respectable and appreciated. Most of his jokes just fall flat and don't warrant any reaction from me. That's disappointing. He has potential though, it was just underutilized here in this special.

Not edgy, not exactly that different, but at least Braunger has capabilities as a funny storyteller. Added him to my list due to seeing him on a Getting Doug With High (which isn't such a great webshow either), thought he was funny on there and figured he would be just as good when he was sober. Will keep him on my 'keep watching' list.

The wife and I watched this stand-up on a whim; and I am ever so glad we did! His timing and energy are excellent, and his observations are stated with a sly and fun grin. He's quite affable, and has a relaxed conversational style, which makes his more manic moments even better. If you love standup, definitely check Matt Braunger out!

honestly I haven't liked a stand-up this much since I first saw john mulaney omg

Sorry, Noah.

This feels like a very basic special. Braunger doesn't really do anything mind blowing or gut busting. It's just a basic stand up set.

When i watched this i was going in blind. I had never heard of Braunger before this. This is a great special and want to see more from him. This movie would get a "isgood"

A solid hour of stand-up from an underrated comedian.

I'll admit I'm a pretty hard sell when it comes to stand up comedy but this one pretty much fell flat with me. A few decent laughs but I watched most of it with a straight face.

Not the first time I've taken an uninitiated plunge into Netflix stand-up shows lately and not the first time I've emerged pleasantly surprised by what I found.

In fairness, Matt Braunger: Big Dumb Animals is rather up and down and doesn't flow all that well. Yet he does have a couple of absolutely fantastic bits. The theory on harnessing natural disasters caused by gay sex, as suggested by some religious nutters, for military purposes is a brilliant bit of stand up comedy on several levels.

He's quite personable too, which does help. If he could cut off some of the more rambling and nondescript moments (it takes 15 minutes to get going) and expand some of his ideas more, he may have a couple of truly excellent shows in him in the future. For now, this is a more than worthy hour of stuff that I could easily have given 3.5 stars to in a better mood.
