I'm a big fan of Ramy Youssef- as an first generation Arab from New Jersey who's roughly the same age, it's been wonderful seeing stories that I recognize being shown on TV. This is not it. This feels heartless, insincere, meanspirited, and honestly, racist. The worst sin, of course, is that it's not funny. There are a couple of good bits, but overall, it feels like the type of edgy garbage that my friends would've come up with when we were teenagers- except, of course, it's made by professional comedians. What a shame.
