If you were to watch this special never having heard of Tom Segura you'd conclude Tom Segura is not a very funny man. You'd prob turn it off after the first 10 minutes. It's borderline hacky, unnecessary edgy, and leaves you with an impression that Tom is not a very good person(and doesn't know it).
But the special does get better after 18 minutes, there are some funny good-old-Tom stories, he's great at using call-backs.
I think the target audience for this was Tom Segura's super-fans, and if you're one, you'll prob enjoy it: "Sledgehammer" feel like an inside joke - there are multiple references to the universe of Tom's life that only followers would know which I think creates this intimacy/cult following.
Overall, I would not recommend "Sledgehammer" I think watching his "best of" on youtube or listening to podcast is better - which is not WEIRD.
By now Tom has honed in his voice and point of view - so he finds the funny effortlessly. Why those funnies are not in this special I do not know.

This is the first time I saw Bert Kreischer's stand-up.
I think Bert is very likable but is not a stand-up. He's a natural fool/idiot(in the best sense of the word). Bert is THE unusual other ppl/the audience are laughing AT rather than laughing WITH. I'd love to see Bert doing a silent movie/physical comedy 'cause Kreischer def has the chops. I think it's a high praise because most comedians need words to make ppl laugh. Bert is so naturally funny - he doesn't.
As for the special... "Hey Big Boy" is not my cup of tea. It describes many funny situations but overall those situations would be much funnier in a shape of a sketch of a sitcom.

Tom Segura is so level-headed, I feel like with every minute I'm watching him, I'm gain common sense.
In fact, "Completely Normal" should be listed as a mandatory summer read in high school. And if you've already graduated, are over 18, and haven't watched this special, you have to finish it in order to get a driver's licence or a state ID. Getting a passport? You're gonna have to pass or fail Tom Segura's catalog exam - if you're going to be representing USA abroad, you've gotta be completely normal, like Tom.
This is my favorite Segura's special. Having watched all of them I think it *IS* the best one.
