Pete Davidson: Turbo Fonzarelli 2024 / Absurd dark comedy that's undeniably engaging but only occasionally funny

The new stand-up special from Pete Davidson won’t win over any skeptics, but there’s something to admire in how the comedian heads straight towards edgy material, tells us he’s going to go there, and still manages to surprise when he follows through. Which is to say Davidson’s audacity might be more impressive than any of his actual writing in this special, with a good number of his jokes highlighting the bizarre situations his fame leads him into, but little more than that. It’s stoner comedy for better or worse—observations about a strange world from a hazy point of view that may not always be coherent.
