Katt Williams: Woke Foke, jokes explored
In the hour-long comedy special Katt Williams: Woke Foke, Williams makes use of airhorn sound effects and PowerPoints to aid his jokes. His schtick this time is pretending to share secret truths about people and society, which turn out to be funny or absurd observations.
Williams opened the show by reflecting on his Club Shay Shay appearance. In a segment published on January 3, 2024, Williams joined Shannon Sharpe for a conversation where he dissed several of his peers, such as Rickey Smiley, Cedric the Entertainer, Steve Harvey, and Kevin Hart.
Claiming that he usually remained silent but was forced to speak out, he said:
"I tried to be incog-Negro but thanks to Shannon Sharpe's loudmouth a*s, the gig is up. Everybody knows I'll tell. But I don't do no snitching! Y'all know my job. In my spare time I infiltrate the Illuminati. Look for their secrets. Run back. Tell y'all. And they'd kill me if they could, but I'm too fast, and the Lord keep blessing me."
Katt Williams also spoke about Jamie Foxx's mysterious illness that caused him to be hospitalized for several days back in April 2023. The medical condition was never disclosed, but TMZ reported that the actor went through physical rehabilitation following the health scare. Expressing doubt about the illness, Williams said:
"Never in the history of medicine has there been a mystery illness. A mystery illness means your a*s is fine."
Katt Williams: Woke Foke also featured an old video dating back to 2006 that showed a blind child playing football. Part of a news segment, the clip was later edited by adding an audio recording of "What the f*ck is going on?" The comedian said after playing the video clip:
"I hope none of my blind fans see this. I mean, can you play blind football? You’re goddamn right you can. But should you play blind football? F*ck no."
Katt Williams' other jokes included Nick Cannon’s children, Trump’s shoe line, Ozempic, transgender athletes, and Jamie Foxx's illness, among others.
Netflix Is a Joke Fest features a lineup of several comedy events that is set to continue until May 12. Meanwhile, Katt Williams: Woke Foke is available to stream on Netflix.
