Jim Jefferies: Intolerant

Dont worry about all the bizarre bad reviews; people get their panties all twisted over political standpoints.

Theres no politics here; back to basics from Jim. Offensive but in his usual hilarious fashion.

Well worth a watch for all the fans.

For a netflix special, this is well above the average. But for Jim, it's arguably his least funny special. He still has the hilarious delivery, but the jokes were weak and far between, most were actually just stories that didn't even lead to a punchline.

I don't know what happened there, I suppose netflix did what netflix does best and ordered him to scrap all edgy humor, so good ol' Jim tried to rely on safe stories... But yeah, pretty disappointing... Still worth watching though.

And what was with the airplane peanut allergy bit? We all know it was basically a recycled Ricky Gervais bit, except your version wasn't even funny. Is it so hard to tell an original joke? This special only has like nine jokes, surely they could've all been original.... It's not enough you steal jokes from Stanhope, now Gervais too. Have you become the male Amy Shumer now? Cause it increasingly feels like it.

A great improvement on his last comedy special, Intolerant is mostly more gigglesome than laugh-out-loud funny, but it's constructed and delivered far, far better than much of his recent work. And the bits about the mystery of women's lotions and millennials being the bigots of the future are both very well done.

I love all of his previous specials. This one is just bad.

I saw him perform this routine live in Birmingham in Dec 2019. It was better, and had extra jokes which appear to have been cut out, notably his Michael Jackson routine, which was the best bit! Legalities maybe? The special suffers for it, as it will be remembered as one of his weakest in comparison to his other releases, which is a shame, as his crowd work was great live. It just doesn't seem to have captured the magic from the night.
