I've previously been a fan of Gary Gulman's comedy album No Can Defend (the title is a reference to Mr. Miyagi from the Karate Kid), so I was more than happy to check out his latest release In This Economy?, which came out late October on New Wave Dynamics.
Gulman is a comedian that came out of season 2 and 3 of NBC's Last Comic Standing and his jokes are based on observations on economy/money and plenty of movie references (you get the impression he watches a lot of TV.)
In This Economy? is actually an improvement over No Can Defend, adding some great new jokes like the Bill Gates' fortune, but keeping what was funny from his previous album, including the hilarious "Discman" and "Netflix/Blockbuster" jokes.
Of the new material, the Bill Gates jokes are divided over three parts. Gulman explains in the eyes of Bill Gates, all other so-called billionaires are a joke. Particularly zeroing in on Donald Trump as the butt of the billionaire joke. Trump, who is no slouch in the money department, is painted as a small pea. But just to put things in perspective, Gulman joked about how he found a $20 in an old jacket and the ratio joke was that Bill Gates would have to forget about "$12 million dollar bill" in his jacket.
Based on Gulman's jokes about electronic, movies, and money (or lack of), you can tell that he definitely understand his subject. It is his rare insights that I often think "holy sh***, he's totally right!" as I laughed.
Gary Gulman's new stand-up album In This Economy? is available now on digital audo and video via New Wave Dynamics.
