I like hearing Dave talk. He could tell me a story and I'd like it just because he's telling it. I even liked his grad speech. His last few specials haven't been so. I like this one best. Laughed out loud. Less time proving a point. I like how Dave's face wasn't shown at (2?) key moments. Gives the live performance some mystery but I think the punch line would be better with face. Funnier than Armageddon and that won the Golden Globe so...
