The Iliza Shlesinger Sketch Show

Not only does Iliza retell many of the jokes from her standup shows in these sketches, many of them also fall flat due to overly lengthy execution of the punchlines. Even though i am a guy, one part i always liked about ilizas stand up were her empowering messages (for women usually) she delivers in between her jokes but while she tried to translate it into the sketch format, the sketches that are supposed to bring the empowering messages just come off as corny and while in her standup she always roots for equality, this sketch show has its fair share of men bashing.

While Ilizas acting is not bad, barely any of the sketches made me laugh, which is why even though she is one of my favorite english speaking comedians i can only give 3 stars. If this series gets renwed i really hope iliza does get some help with the writing and this might actually have some potential to become a decent show.

Fat muscle dude work out made me smile a little. Glad to see Jason Jones get some paid work after Jordan Klepper took his job. "It Me" was kinda funny Dont understand the Norwegian references. Kudos to the person who made the intro. Very nice. Somehow think this would be funnier if I was born in Boston and had a brick hit me in the head as a child.

I like Iliza, she's a great standup and is great on podcasts. Her humour just doesn't translate to sketch shows.

This is corny, unfunny, virtue signalling garbage. It's lazy writing, and desperately tries to force the idea that women can be guys too, and that all are just as funny. Starting out with a with a man shouting that women aren't funny, and then the show trying to self label as the "Female Jackass" in some effort to prove the metaphorical man wrong, that women can be crazy and hilarious too would have been a point better proven if the show had a single laugh in it. Oh the irony. I gave this one star as a courtesy, because if it had a star for every laugh in it, it would have zero stars.

It's unfortunate no one at Netflix gives talent any notes for creative freedom purposes, but it results in garbage like this being 90% of what's on Netflix. You will not laugh even a single time. Nikki Glaser, Amy Shumer, Whitney Cummings and Natasha Leggero have all done way funnier stuff outside of standup.

This is what happens when someone who gets more virtue signalling applause than laughs makes a sketch show with no producer to let them know the show doesn't have a shred of funny in it. It's pathetic feminist man bashing and a raking in of perpetual victimhood currency. If you're a man watching this you might as well have an IQ around Bert Kreisher levels to find this funny, because the condescending pretentiousness will make anyone with even average intelligence vomit.

I love Eliza's comedy (seen all of her recorded shows and in person twice) but I have no idea what happened here. One of her skills is using her voice and posture to bring other characters alive when she is alone on stage. Perhaps acting in an ensemble plays against her strength. I also noticed that many of the segments went way way too long. When your brain wants to fast forward the entertainer is losing the viewer's attention. Breaking that connection keeps the viewer distant, uninvolved, and not laughing. I would say to give this a pass, but the whole season has about the same content as two episodes of SNL.

I gave it a shot because she's a talented stand up comedian, but I didn't find it very funny. In fairness to the show, as a gen-x guy, I don't think I'm in her target demo. If you're a young female give the show a look, it's probably your kind of humor.
