Iliza Shlesinger: Hot Forever

For all those that think this skit is too serious, get a life. I just skimmed over the last 5 reviews and they didn't get the message Iliza was trying to get across. Mary Wiseman was bullied for her body. Even reporters called it her body type. Say it like it is. People, including Star Trek fans, didn't like a curvy woman in tight uniforms.

This how we judge. All those who criticize her don't even know her. Even though she played an awesome character and did an excellent job. She didn't fit the image what a Star Fleet Officer suppose to look like. I stopped watching Star Trek after she left Discovery and gave away all the DVD's I had. Don't need them anymore due to streaming. I'm still discussed by this.

This is exactly what Iliza was talking about. All the other critics that reviewed before me that I read, didn't like the fact she was making a point. Because it is a serious subject that you're not going to get a laugh every second, they say it was a horrible show.

Stand up comedians are intelligent and you have to be intelligent to appreciate them. If you want unintelligent comedy, watch The Trailer Park Boys.

Iliza, awesome job. Too bad there is much more people that you talked about, especially the men that don't get sex, that see woman as an object rather than the intellectual men that support women. Society measures intelligence by IQ, I see intelligence as someone who good at what they do. I know, I have 3 adult daughters that I supported all their lives. Keep going on this. Thank you for the great entertainment.

Iliza is a funny, eccentric, extremely intelligent writer, comedian, actress, and producer. I have watched all of her Netflix comedy specials. Her powerful high-energy scripts are delivered with an animated personality along with hilarious animal sounds and charismatic acting.

Being a self-proclaimed feminist, she always includes a political segment in her dialect where women's rights abuses are highlighted. Courageously talking about these social failures In today's society has long been overdue.

Nonetheless, despite Eliza being fully capable of addressing more of the societal issues at a greater scale, her general formula has been far less inclusive. Most of her material underlines a hedonistic culture where all women are immersed in an internalized inferiority complex. Women's fitness and facade as well as how much she's cherished is forthrightly proportioned to her self-confidence. And, men are dong swinging simpletons with progenation as their only purpose.

After a while this type of material gets old. And I haven't laughed even once. I think that she needs to be more inclusive and figure out better substance than how her bra fits or underwear looks. She is capable of producing far better material.

Most of her other standup specails were decent, this one not so much. Hot forever has two elements. Political agendas being shoved down your throat and unrelatable weird stories about bras and men bashing, neither were funny or coherent. I don't know what was the worst part of the show. Her miscarriage speech or the constant ooohing cheer after ever boring attempt at " women are the victim " by all the easily manipulated ladies in the audience. The idea that all women are self loathing caused by unintelligent men through out their life is a running theme. If your looking for her previous brand of humor you will be disappointed and will be left with the feeling you wasted your time.

Easily her worst. No jokes just boring stories. A lot of talk about female body parts because that is funny and interesting for everyone. Also that is so unique and totally not common among female comics. Bleh.

You don't like my review? I did not like this show. This was made for young and easily impressionable women, probably. It is so hard being female... yeah, sure. Try being a guy.

Dumb, shallow, preachy snooze fest. Naturally she has to address current politics... and express her self-believed superiority in the topic.

Something is fishy with these reviews, too. Only 23 after 2 years? It is not really believable.

.... Now she's only funny to her base.

There's no "edge" here. No "sharp" wit. She gets on stage and then proceeds to speak as fast as she possibly can, and repeat the same lines at least 4 times... over and over. As if repeating a rather dull "joke" makes it funnier. It doesn't. The speed at which she speaks almost makes it seem she as if she just wants to get it over with as quickly as possible. Her comedic timing is REALLY lacking in this special.

I think she may be suffering from a glass bubble. She's risen to the level where of course she has fans. Fans that will follow her regardless of what she says/creates - "fangurlz". So, who turns out to those "run up" shows where she is testing new jokes.... those fans obviously. Which, I'd guess, are mostly women around 40. So which jokes "work" or not in these "test" shows is all based on these audiences of predominantly older "fangurlz". And that is glaringly obvious in this special. It's a special which is nearly entirely geared towards women 40 or older.

Now, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. But it does kill off the non-40-year-old female fans she may have had. 30 minute bits about bras just isn't funny to me. I'll never understand why audiences seemingly "roar" just because she does some silly voice. A flat "joke" delivered in a silly voice is still a flat "joke."

When she started her career she was fantastic and mixing things up and making ANY audience member laugh. She timed delivery, and took breaths, so things could be ingested as opposed to rattling off line after line. Now, she's just focusing on speed and making older women laugh. This special is really rather poor, that is unless you're a "fangurl."

I had a VERY hard time finding much humor in this special... probably I'm not an older woman who is down on men and finds bras funny.
