I'm French and like his spectacles quite a lot, they're very well crafted, in a country where it is a bit of a desert right now for comedians... France has produced some legendary comedians like Coluche, Pierre Desproges or Les Inconnus, but since 2000 it's been really poor.

I first saw Gad doing bits in English in Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with his friend Jerry Seinfeld. You could tell he was trying jokes, and that some hit and some didn't. Jerry became his mentor, afterall he was already his role model. I was afraid of Gad being a poor Seinfeld clone. Luckily in this special he showed that he kept his great physical comedy, which makes him stand out from the other comedians. He has great flexibility and gesture, obviously inspired by the great like Chaplin.

His spectacle is mainly about his views on America. Some are fresh, and nicely crafted, like the emphasis on words, the outgoing nature of Americans. Some jokes still feel not quite polished enough, like the one where he bought a gun and got the apartment. Didn't feel right. His accent is also closer to a British than an American accent, except for the "T"s, because it's easier for a French speaker to speak like that. But I admit I was impressed with his American impressions, as well as when he does the over the top French accent to represent posh or left field Frenchmen. The crowd responded well, and overall I find this special way funnier than the new Chris Rock, which was really disappointing. I wish good luck to Gad, I think if he does a second American special, this will be the one he can be truly proud of. Once he fully understand American culture, politics, and economics, and once his English is completely fluent, it will be a memorable show for Americans.
