It shows how subjective humor is. I didn't laugh once. Not so much as a chuckle. I didn't like the delivery, the style, or the material itself.
He's so bad, I'm thinking of starting a movement to ban watching Christopher Titus in hotel rooms.
I have not been a fan of Titus in the past but I did enjoy this quite a bit.
