Jim Norton: Mouthful of Shame

All in all pretty cringe worthy American humor at its worst. These guys should stick to talking with themselves in a bar or their dusty basement sofa. They do not belong on a stage.It's awkward to sit through because the jokes aren't really laugh-out-loud funny by any means and it moves super slow. The guys seem like cool guys but I didn't want to sit and watch them finish each other's sentences over and over again while they swayed back and forth and putted around the stage awkwardly. Nothing 2 entertaining to watch.

I stumbled upon this stand-up comedy special on Netflix, and I wasn't familiar with the comedian, so I decided to give it a go nonetheless.

It turns out that Jim Norton's sense of comedy was somewhat, nay a lot different than mine because this was mostly just below-the-belt jokes, which is so very 1990s for the stand-up comedy scene.

It had all been done before and by now sex jokes are just not that funny any more, at least not to me. So I must admit that I didn't particularly enjoy most of this stand-up comedy show. I am not a prude or anything, but sex jokes is just so cliché for this genre.

With this show watched, then I can't really claim that I wasn't particularly impressed with the comedy talent of Jim Norton. There are far better stand-up shows available out there. And if you are new to stand-up shows, then "Jim Norton: Mouthful of Shame" is not suitable for a proper introduction to the genre.

I think my title says it all. Don't bother unless you like typical, needless shouting, really bad "jokes" and an audience who annoyingly loves it. So bad.

He pretty much only does sex humor, and it's quite good.

Most prudes will not like it, but there are a few that will like it a lot.

The opening sequence has some big names and actually sets you up for the show.

The reviews already posted here drive the point home -- there's no debate that this special is awful and does not approach funny. So I'm going to openly speculate on why he made this colossal pile of garbage. I think he's daring everyone to call him out so that she can blame the negative reviews on those who disagree with her politically. he's already blamed criticism on the "alt-right."

This has to be intentional - adding 50 pounds to her frame and then dressing in tight leather. Making a minimal effort on her appearance -- hair in a ponytail, etc. Awful, rehashed, crass "jokes" with no comedic value. This is clearly an antagonistic approach and based on her political
