I'm Your Mother

"I'm Your Mother" is a well-written, heart-breaking special that is dulled by the lack of exaggerated character/POV on stage.

Tim Dillon is a satirist. He uses cynicism, absurd heightening, and extreme character to get his point across.

I watch "the best of Tim Dillon podcast" once a month ish. His stupid rants bring me joy. Largely because Tim is so... grotesque. A caricature. Not a real person. In his bizarre sun-glasses and stylish (hehe) outfit it's "Tim Dillon" is a lot like "Ali G".

In this special Tim is dressed in a hoody and jeans - Tim LOOKS and DELIVERS so down to earth, so earnest, you no longer have a feeling you're watching a character. To me, in "I'm your mother" this over-the-top heightening of his lands part boring, part sad, part mean.

It feels more drama, less comedy. Tragedy of the modern world rather than satire. Give it a watch!

Saw Tim live last year. His set has gone downhill fast. This was kinda hard to get through. He was trying hard almost struggling to craft a joke up there. Hanging out with terrible comedians like Joe Rogan has rubbed off on him. I don't even know who this was for. Even a 5 rating is generous. His last special was a little rough too but not even close to this bad. It's weird but both times I've seen him live, his sets been way better than the specials he's put out. This one's going to get some tough comments. At times it felt like he was having a panic attack or something. Also there's a decent bit of repetitive jokes if you listen to his podcast. We wish him luck though.

No shade to Tim. He makes me laugh more than anyone. However, many if these jokes seem sophomoric and it's obvious he's can be more clever and just funny in general. Honestly, he is SO GOOD at doing his off the cuff rants on his podcast... it might be more "him" to do a Kill Tony style show, but instead of comedy he gives each selected audience member a minute to talk about various topics that change throughout the night (controversial opinions, traumatic stories, embarrassing moments, illegal actions, etc.

Anyways, love and will always love Tim. Just feel like he's above making trans jokes (nothing wrong with making jokes about trans people, as with any group of people - it's just that EVERY COMEDIAN that isn't clean does trans jokes and it's far from intriguing).

His best talent, in my opinion, comes from his natural speech, on the spot rants and generationally great ability to be engaging, insightful, cynical, and dramatic/hyperbolic as a conversationalist.

I'll watch anything Tim puts out there. I enjoyed the creativity in his other recent show "This it's your Country". I hope he does more projects along that vein.

I watch a lot of comedy specials, and this has to be the best one I've seen in years. It's honest, raw comedy at its absolute best. Tim Dillon smashed it with sharp, unapologetic takes that cut through the noise. The timing, delivery, and confidence are unmatched-he's not afraid to say what others won't, and that's what makes this special so refreshing. Every bit had me laughing while also thinking, which is rare. Easily one of the most fearless and hilarious performances I've seen in a long time. Tim's on another level, and this special proves he's one of the greats. Well done Tim this was amazing can't wait to see more.

It was okay. There where a few funny jokes but also a few that were so unfunny, I was questioning whether the laughs I was hearing were actually real. I'm sure he wrote a ton of jokes, but it felt like the whole special only had 5 jokes, and less than half of them were actually funny.

Tim Dillon clearly leans a a certain way politically speaking, but he tries so hard to be perceived neutral, it kind of kills the jokes. I think he should either go all in and be a bit more creative or just avoid political topics at all.

All in all, it was moderately entertaining but I wouldn't really recommend it or watch it again.
