The Iliza Shlesinger Sketch Show

If you need to turn off your brain for a bit this is your show. Its a sketch show, these are usually bad so I would say this one is pretty good. Iliza is a bit out there sometimes and it reflects in her show. I enjoy her somewhat zany humor so I found myself wanting to watch more. A few of the skits i fast fwd through but most were enjoyable.

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.

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.

This is possibly the worse sketch show I've ever seen. I like her stand up but didn't laugh at all. It felt forced and fast and I'm so upset with her.

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.
