Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! (2021) User Reviews

Dear Netflix

[meberle1 · 4/10 · 16 April 2021]

Please stop producing so much TV Shows in such low quality! We would rather have less quantity but better quality for the time and money we spend!

What happened to Jamie Foxx's career

[Name-Namerson · 3/10 · 14 April 2021]

This is terrible? I've watched most of Netflix's sitcoms, While not all of them have worked for me, this is probably the worst of the lot, I enjoyed the Big Show Show better than this.

It's No Fresh Prince Or Cleveland Show...

[lewilewis1997 · 4/10 · 15 April 2021]

Dear, oh dear, oh dear...Formulaic, telegraphed 'jokes'. Stereo types a plenty. Breaking the 4th wall just to explain the jokes to us 'normal' people.

You might hope it gets better once the characters are bedded in, it doesn't.

Jamie Foxx wants to be portrayed as an irresistible stud, but fails. End of.

WHY?

[sandab-84840 · 2/10 · 16 April 2021]

This is the only question that comes to mind while watching this terrible attempt at comedy. I love Jamie Foxx, but wtf was he thinking with this?! It's really bad, I couldn't make it through the first episode. Very outdated humour, not funny at all and terrible terrible acting! Avoid!

What was Jamie Foxx thinking?

[csedgman-69776 · 2/10 · 14 April 2021]

I luv Jamie Foxx, and really wanted to like this show.

Sadly, it just isn't funny. The 4th wall breaks are contrived and the 'canned' laugh track is irritating.

1st rule of comedy? It's gotta be funny. This isn't that.

Bad writing, acting, directing as well.

Skip this and watch anything else. You'll thank me....

Who gives a Foxx?

[doofusmcsweeney · 1/10 · 15 April 2021]

Full disclosure: I only watched the first episode and for that alone I feel like I deserve an award.

It was the saddest, unfunny 25 minutes of my life and I've seen Pootie Tang. This would not have made it to pilot in the 90's let alone 2021. I get it - if Jamie Foxx did this purely to give his daughter's career a push then fine. But why did it have to be a humorless bore?

Hopefully, Corrine Foxx learnt a few things here as writer/executive producer and I wish her nothing but success.

However, I don't know which hurt more - the disappointment of an unfunny Jamie Foxx sitcom or the fact I missed an opportunity for a power nap.

Netflix, Stop.

[catherine-albrecht · 1/10 · 15 April 2021]

This is one of the worst shows I've ever seen. I didn't even smile, let alone laugh. Netflix has a lot of money. They throw cash around wherever they feel like wasting it. I have no idea how this show got greenlit. I could only stomach 1 episode. Don't waste your time, people.

No.. No.. No

[hearditplus · 1/10 · 18 April 2021]

Not funny.. Bad acting.. I finished the whole season but I got bored in the first episode..

It's okay

[tamijem · 6/10 · 16 April 2021]

I didn't find the show extremely bad. Corny? Yes! But I did laugh. The laughter soundtrack is very annoying but all in all it was entertaining to me.

Bad,bad,bad

[twizzle-23990 · 1/10 · 14 April 2021]

This is gotta be the worst show I've seen in ten years , Jamie fox is stuck in the 90s with this show and cast, weak storyline and horrible acting.

Funny

[Betelgeuse67 · 8/10 · 20 April 2021]

The scenes with Jamie foxx are great. It has its super hilarious moments and slow/corny scenes but overall a good show, especially if your a dad.

Awesome

[razoq · 7/10 · 18 April 2021]

It's a show to turn off your brain and relax and you'll have a ball. Don't treat it too seriously because it's impossible but if You watch it just for fun you'll have a ball. Jamie's impressions are enough to make you laugh.

Please Cancel

[MyFilmAddiction · 1/10 · 14 April 2021]

The writing is awful and not at all funny. The jokes, if we dare call them that, are flat or simply nonexistent. The fact that Jamie Foxx and David Alan Grier started their respective careers in comedy and are apart of this is just a travesty. Both men are very talented and were some of the funniest cast members on In Living Color. The initial idea had a crumb of potential, but the execution has proven to be absolutely horrendous.

Basura

[wiglisa · 1/10 · 20 April 2021]

I'm embarrassed for the entire cast. This show is awful. I give it 5 ears of corn because stars are just not appropriate for this caca. 🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽

Yes i agree stop this embarrassement!!!!

[yilmazc-89448 · 1/10 · 14 April 2021]

Did not expect much just a few laughs and a casual sitcom to binge, well was i wrong!!!

Cringeworthy scenes and jamie fox thinking everything i do is funny, well hate to break the news to you jamie you aint funny!

Does no one of the crew ore production team say after making one episode "guys this is bad really bad we have to change the script" i guess not!

Well there were a lot of fake laughs during the making of this show i can guarantee that!

Little more control over your projects is hard needed netflix.

Do not waste your time on this, i would recomment the really funny show gentefied.

Netflix, stop insulting our IQ!

[brucewillisisaghost · 1/10 · 14 April 2021]

Oh my lord, Jamie Foxx, what happened to your career? Copying the Fresh Prince in episode 1 is not very creative. Netflix, please stop making famous people unpopular. Also, too much agenda going on...

you will never laugh.

[rocketwoods · 2/10 · 15 April 2021]

I don't know if Netflix needed to fill slots or just wanted Jamie Foxx to be happy. Don't get me wrong.. I love Jamie Foxx and all his work, but this just wasn't it. It's something to put on to fall asleep to or just have some noise in the background while on zoom. Love the casting but it just falls flatter than most reboots.

Don't waste your time

[mary-73257 · 1/10 · 15 April 2021]

Not funny. The show is obnoxious and crass. I'm sorry I wasted 15 minutes of my life on it.

Not too bad

[checooke · 7/10 · 14 April 2021]

The show has a lot of potential.

I am a masssive Jamie foxx fan and often enjoy his funny moments . And there is quiet a few, on the other hand there it is quite repetitive.

A sad mash up of basic sit com tropes

[mandaangar · 1/10 · 16 April 2021]

Enjoyable sitcoms are when they are able to create emotional attachment with the audience the first or second episode. There was hardly any creativity or interesting backstory build up. Enforced negative stereotypes about the black community. Disappointed because there were amazing actors in the cast.

Good start! Light and Funny👍

[NFY00 · 8/10 · 14 April 2021]

Congrats Jamie Foxx and Jim Patterson.✌ The pilot episode was a bit off, but they really picked it up from the 2nd episode onwards. I enjoyed it because its light, funny, and approachable to social matters that happen in real life and to real ppl with a zest of comedy.

Hoping to see a season 2. And please do not compare it to other sitcoms because each should stand on its own with its own storyline.

Y'all trippin

[williejsson · 7/10 · 16 April 2021]

This sHow's funny😂I'm enjoying the vibe. I really like that Jamie and his daughter executive produce this show together.

Tries too hard to be funny

[swangzmaswanganye · 1/10 · 14 April 2021]

This show tried too hard to be funny and missed the point completely. I love Jamie but this show is a NO. David Allen Grier is one of the funniest black men in Hollywood and even his excellence couldn't save this train wreck of a show. The references to popular culture are appreciated but Netflix should NOT have picked this up, 'the single black dad raising a child with a mother who has passed away' thing is overly done now (Keenan). Cancel this show, go back to the sitcoms drawing board and give us something else that will be enjoyable.

stop watching after 2nd ep

[mariosimonovic · 1/10 · 14 April 2021]

Ok i stareted watching 2ep after 1st ... i said i give it a go.... but this was such a waste of time...Jamie i know your doughter produce this but still.... not worth your acting...

one of the worst comedy series i ever seen.... acting i barley mediocre.

Embarrassing!

[qsspzhpzf · 1/10 · 21 April 2021]

The only reason you found this show on Netflix is coz you wanted something better to do instead of taking a nap.... take it, take that power nap!
