Anthony Jeselnik: Bones and All

Guys found his rhythm. It's absolutely brilliant and will make you laugh. Well worth the watch, and you'll want to watch it again. Cannot recommend it enough. Guys one of the greats. He continues to improve, his delivery has gotten better. Not for those who cannot take a joke. It is unapologetic, irreverent, clever, and well crafted. You'll never be able to guess where he's going witch each joke. Don't mistake his persona he's crafted as him being overconfident or full of himself, again it's a persona he's crafted for himself, it is an act. He says what he should and doesn't apologize for it. A refreshing stand up comedy special that reminds us free speech does still exist and it's well worth the watch. If you're already a fan of him this is an absolute must watch. You will not be disappointed in the least. Very well done and the best comedy special I've seen in a long, long time. If you're looking for a comedian who doesn't care about what others say a comedian can say or cannot say, this is for you.

Anthony Jeselink is so freaking hilarious. He does what he describes as Gallow comedy. He explains up front that Gallow comedy is a form of comedy where you take Subject matter that is horrifying to the point you want to cry about it, and instead make jokes with it. He does this brilliantly. He takes on every sensitive subject he can squeeze within the allotted time. His delivery method is somewhat deadpan, like Stephen Wright, but way more rude than Stephen Wright ever considered. The Netflix special is touted as being geared towards celebrating his 20 years of comedy. Twenty years? How have I missed this guy? He's brilliant.

Anthony Jeselnik is one of my favorite comics, and this is among his best works. Jeselnik is a master at misdirection, and he always finds new and unexpected ways to hit the punchline. You can tell a lot of time and energy went into this special, while some comics will just throw anything up on Netflix just for a payday. However, here, the jokes were all well done, and everything fit perfectly-also, props to Anthony for being his own person and not part of the Rogan crew. If anything, the points where you could tell he was making fun of other comedians were some of the best moments. All in all, it was a great special that I'm excited to rewatch.

As Norm said Jeselnik is one of the greats. He is his own and there is no one like him. But... If you know his material it doesn't really evolve or move. This time he told some stories from his own life which is rather unusual for him but the rest stays in the same structure based mostly on shock value and surprise. Many of the jokes were losing that just because it is his base line and you know where it is going. When you take look at Louis CK for example and look at his 90s stand up and then some more current specials it is such a difference in style and material it seems almost like a different comedian. For me Jeselnik needs to move a bit otherwise this might get old one day. But overall good stuff.

It's efficient. He shows you the equation and you solve for x. I listened to this while playing Steam. Perfect audio companion. If you see any of his interviews, you know he loves a good album. Pacing is steady and you'll finish before an hour. He does a great job of limiting the scope of his face, he's not saturated in the podcast world where it's just a fire hose of gotcha's and a-ha's. It's the knife in the stomach and you watched it from across the room and let it happen anyways. The blood's warm. Yeah, he does mention the anniversary a few times, I think he really wants to flex the resume, and also that he's not attached to a posse, but I let it slide. There aren't any wasted moments.
