Rating Summary
A California native, Rob Schneider’s views on things like having junk makes you a dude probably haven’t changed much over the years. The world just went nuts around him, and in Woke Up in America, he’s not afraid to talk about it.
Rob Schneider: Woke Up In America
In Woke Up In America, Rob Schneider masterfully lampoons much of the madness that’s been infecting our country as of late. Tackling the hard issues like straight guys not wanting to blow female penises, his Woke Up In America may not be safe for work, but it is salve for your soul. Schneider, a self-described classical liberal, probably doesn’t agree with everything that you think and believe, but that’s exactly the point. He doesn’t have to.
Often when more conservative comedians confront these topics, the audience will erupt with clapter. Not so with Woke Up In America. Schneider’s often juvenile “potty humor” is exactly the right approach to such ridiculous concepts. With his well-crafted setups and easy delivery, watching Woke Up In America feels like having a laugh-out-loud conversation with an irreverent and comedic friend.
With such a sympathetic audience, Schneider could have been forgiven if he’d chosen to hammer the radicals all special long. Instead, he gives his audience a chance to catch their collective breath while he pokes fun at other universal themes like the differences between husbands and wives. While he doesn’t blaze any new trails with this, Schneider proves his bonafĂdes by putting his personal, often blue, spin on these traditional topics.
While it lacks some of the craftsmanship offered by the best specials from the likes of Chappelle and Seinfield, and it struggles a bit to get out of the gates, Rob Schneider: Woke Up in America is an important step forward for modern comedy. Like in the days of yore, a top-tier comedian is once again addressing the nonsense of today and doing it well. Rob Schneider: Woke Up in America is exactly what it is supposed to be, riotously funny and absolutely Worth it.
WOKE ELEMENTS
Disclaimer: Woke Up in America is only available on Fox Nation, and, as we all know, some serious issues are going on behind the scenes there. However, Worth it or Woke isn’t reviewing the media company, just the product. Further, when deciding whether or not to watch this, remember how important it is that comedic voices like Mr. Schneider’s are heard and that you can watch for free by signing up for a 7-day free trial and then canceling as soon as the program is done.
None.

Thank you for writing these reviews. This website has become my go-to for what to watch and what to avoid. It’s refreshing to read the truth.
God bless!!

Are these reviews and scores done by one person or regular people who have seen the movies?

Todd, are you implying that I’m not a regular person? Just kidding.
Right now, our team consists of three reviewers, however, I’ve done the lion’s share of the reviews so far. The other two are still getting their beaks wet.
We hope to soon have a scoring system in place for the audience but right now, our comments section has to suffice.

Haha, so lame. Eventually you won’t have much to review, will you? And we’re supposed to believe that AI pic is yours?
