Iliza: Confirmed Kills

Obviously intelligent woman delivers a lot a of moments that make you think , but nothing that makes you laugh. Based on this I would say she's more suited to be a motivational speaker versus a comedienne. Came across as perpetually angry , other comics , male and female have similar delivery styles and have been hilarious. Unfortunately that's not the case here. Somewhat preachy, heavy on the feminism. Might be our demographical differences, but nowhere on this hour seventeen minute journey did I find myself laughing. Made a good start, thought she would build upon her opening bit. But that was the funniest part of the entire thing.

I am a man and I am admitting I was found of this girls news spoof show and I found thus on Netflix and thought I would try it I found her hilarious and very sexy myself she is a feminist but who cares really shes a great comic and I found the shark tank bit hilarious if your looking for good comedy try this show

The whole show is fallacious, but in a funny way. And she does have a point. Still, this is a comedy show and it is far better than most philosophical debate I have assisted.

I was not familiar with Iliza Shlesinger before I watched this. This was my first time watching her work. She was exceptionally funny in this special for Netflix. Covering topics ranging from Party Goblins, mermaids, ugly giants, the differences between the generations and the sexes; the special was a fast paced roller coaster of laughs. Iliza's humor seems to both understand and hate her status as a millennial. Due to this her humor definitely strikes a cord for a younger audience. The special ends with a hilarious Shark Tank bit. I was really impressed with her intensity throughout. The way she punctuates her jokes with screams at just the right moments reminds me of Sam Kinison. Her use of exaggerated body language and frequently acting out her jokes reminds me of Sebastion Maniscalco. She is a commanding comedic performer and I look forward to watching her other specials.

This comedy special is neither comedic nor in the least bit special, except for its amazing capacity in making 75 minutes seem like over 3 hours. Tackling subjects such as gender, feminism, and race, Iliza Shlesinger gathers more (forced) applause than laughs while making contrite, unoriginal points in ways rarely funny or entertaining.

An audience eager to like her and say they had an enjoyable time was not able to mask the obvious: this show is a weird mix of physical and observational humor while not hitting the mark on either, with producers trying *very* hard to make it all seem so clever and hilarious with an abundance of painful, misguided hashtags.

Shlesinger is fond of using her elongated, shapely body to make these weird Grinch-like steps and poses, while contorting her face in off-putting grimaces and using distinctive, cartoonish voices that made me think of a bizarro, unfunny 90's Jim Carrey.

I can accept that not being my cup of tea while resulting humorous to other people. However, what came out of Shlesinger's mouth was just miss after miss after miss, whether speaking about a night out unleashing her inner party goblin or going on and on about women who identify as mermaids, in a particularly puzzling, never-ending bit.

I did chuckle one time near the very end and will admit that a couple of observations in her social commentary were okay, but I had to really push myself to endure this show over 3-4 sittings, sticking to the end only to fairly assess it: it was dreadful.

(+) A couple of her social observations miraculously hit the mark. That's about it.

(-) Jokes extremely hard to find and even those apparent never hit the mark. Uninteresting, painful material. No. Just...no.
