5 Hilarious Netflix Specials To Binge If You Need A Laugh In 2020

Netflix

In This Article:

I cannot tell you the number of times that I have re-watched these comedy specials over the course of the last seven months.

What I can tell you is how absolutely great these comedians are. They bring me joy when I am sad, bored, or wanting to tune into something while I work on school or my virtual job.

All of these comedians are both relatable and keep a smile on my face as I sit through their stories.

My article presents five comedians: Gabriel Iglesias, Sam Jay, Taylor Tomlinson, John Mulaney, and Iliza Schlesinger.

There are two words that I have for these specials: Must. Watch.

1. Gabriel Iglesias / Fluffy is incredible.

Fluffy is one of the best comedians in my list. He is my go-to whenever I am feeling sad, bored, or just someone that I can watch again and again to my heart's content!

My favorite comedy special of his is definitely "I'm Sorry For What I Said When I Was Hungry."

He also has a show called "Mr. Iglesias" that has two seasons. It is one of the best binge-worthy shows I have on my list.

2. Sam Jay is spirited.

Sam Jay is a very spirited comedian. She's written for shows like "Saturday Night Live" and finally got her own Netflix show called "3 In The Morning." Topics she covers throughout the special include traveling with her girlfriend, her fear of planes, and her take on relationships! It just came out on August 4, 2020, and I adore it.

3. Taylor Tomlinson is relatable.

Now, if I were to relate the most to anyone when it comes to attitudes, it would definitely be Taylor Tomlinson. In her comedy special, Taylor discusses dating, terrible sleeping habits, adulthood, and her take on our parents. Her special is called "Quarter-Life Crisis" and came out March 3, 2020.

4. John Mulaney is hilarious.

While Mulaney currently has four comedy specials on Netflix, my absolute favorite of the four has to be "Kid Gorgeous at Radio City." In this special, Mulaney discusses his childhood stories, graduating college, what it has been like getting older, and stories about his wife. This special was released back in 2018. My absolute favorite story is the "BECAUSE I WAS OVER ON THE BENCH!" discussion he had with his father as a kid.

5. Iliza Schlesinger is stylish (and funny).

Iliza has a total of 4 Netflix specials and a new show that just came out in 2020! The special I have watched the most is "Confirmed Kills." Iliza talks about special party goblins that live in us, her party years, dating, and how tired she is of grown women screeching. Also her outfit in "Confirmed Kills" is impeccable.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
