Mo Amer, a very likable comedian from Houston, serves up a whole series of conflicting attitudes in his latest Netflix special, Mohammed in Texas. Read our review.
Mohammed Amer, more often known as Mo Amer, serves up a whole series of conflicting attitudes in his latest Netflix special,via the streaming giant in 2018, and now returns with an hour ruminating on subjects ranging from the pandemic to the wonder of bidets. On the whole, Amer is entertaining, his infectious energy radiating throughout the crowd in his hometown of Houston.
At the start of the special, Amer laugh-cries while asking if the pandemic is over and goes on about the media’s mixed messages about COVID. He makes several funny, biting points throughout the bit about how the system as a whole failed us when we needed it most, and how capitalist structures are more than happy to prop up the stock market while regular people were struggling to pay the bills.
Amer is simply a likable guy, and it seems we’re on the precipice of him fully breaking into the mainstream with his upcoming role in The Rock vehiclehe’s crafting with Ramy Youssef. For all his humor and empathy, though , he still seems to have these strange gaps that make it hard to stick along for the ride. For example, at one point he employs a slur against Japanese people in a vestigial part of a joke—not that it would have been okay had the slur been a central part of the bit.
