Jim Jefferies: This Is Me Now

Jim Jeffries is still a very funny fellow. In a way he reminds me of Norm Macdonald in that he doesn't get straight to the punch line. First comes a seemingly unrelated statement. He is a tease; and you either enjoy the teasing, or you don't.

Jim is funny as always, but the stories are so long, funny and well connected that it's just unbeleivable. Can't really understand why there's so many bad reviews.

7/16/18. While he was funny in parts, he has an extremely big potty mouth. I just find that kind of language offensive and lazy. One can express oneself well without resorting to foul language. Near the end he reveals that he has been dealing with depression almost his whole life. Ok, that explains some things. Watch only if you are into potty mouth humor.

I really liked the first couple of Jim Jefferies stand-up specials, he was a fresh, edgy and rambunctious new voice when he first appeared, but living in LA and hosting that awful chat-show seems to have tamed him and given him no time to come up with any quality material. He really doesn't have anything new to say and what he does have to say isn't all that funny. There are no great set-pieces or even any lines you'd want to remember to pass on to anyone else.

I laughed precisely twice. Some of the bit about Trump was moderately amusing but so safe and predictable, and nothing that the average man in the street couldn't have easily come up with himself. The Al Pacino story was nice but didn't lead anywhere, or add up to anything, it was just some stuff that happened.

Unless it was simply a contractual obligation, I can't actually see why Jefferies wanted to put this show out at all. Really just a disappointment.

Pretty good, not so sharp like previous special but still enjoyed!
