Rob Schneider: Woke Up In America (2023). I must say that I kind of went into watching this with a predetermined expectation of this is going to suck and all he's going to do is bash Democrats, Liberals and the like. I mean you have to admit that the title leads one to believe this would be so. While he didn't spend 100% of the time on this, he did spend quite a bit on it.
I am open minded and am not offended by this kind of one-sided bashing. But it's got to be funny. Most of Rob's material wasn't really funny. The audience laughed here and there but that's the type of audience he had. They were 98% white people in Tampa Bay, Florida so if he were to say repeatedly, "Liberals suck, pandemic scamdemic and trump" they would laugh like he actually said something really funny.
He called himself some kind of liberal but said he voted for trump. He also said he knew the guy (trump) as they were in a movie together: Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. Which I do recall trump being in it a little as they were in the trump hotel. I just don't recall Rob being in it. Anyway, he said he didn't really talk to trump, hang out with trump or much of anything but he "knows" trump. So knowing trump in this capacity and so well, he voted for him in 2026.
There was a bit where he mentioned good for the LGBTQ for getting 'rights' and such but they got an entire gay pride month. He was like but there's just Veteran's Day, Memorial Day and President's Day. His ignorance shows through as the difference is there is no official "holiday" for Pride Month. It is not recognized as a govermental holiday. The three previously mentioned "Days" are official government holidays where people, particularly government employees, get days off.
FINAL VERDICT: This is a hard pass unless you have time to waist and you like suffering through boredom. As per usual, I suffered so you don't have to. It had it's moments like just a handful. He wasn't totally on the stupid anti-woke machine, just mostly, and he did do a lot of material on it to pander to his audience. What it did show is that he's now a has-been comedian who wanted to jump on the anti-woke train to sell tickets and make money because, as he correctly stated, he has been in any Adam Sandler movies lately! He is smart enough to know how to play to a specific base of people. Hence, why he had the show in Tampa Bay. And there is a reason why it was released on Fox Nation because they have no experience in broadcasting quality programming. Just spreading lies and propaganda. Anyway, watch if you really want to but I'm pretty sure you won't find much of it entertaining or funny.
