Bad Thoughts

Comedy sketches with a brutal dark and twisted edge that at first seems to throw you off kilter (even idioms are not safe in this series), where you are not sure what the hell you are watching. Then bang! You find yourself in the gutter, staring up to the absurdity as the senses adapt to the crudeness factor, and laughter surrounds your madness. Yes, it is that kind of brutal show, where nothing is sacred, and everything is in firing range. These are jokes, but the visual kind that work a treat and will challenge your perspective on comedians and the bad thoughts that go through their minds. Not for the easily offended, but a bonus for Tom Segura fans...

If you can get past the extreme vulgarity, you will encounter some laugh out loud moments. This show is definitely is not for everyone. If you have sensitive sensibilities, please do not attempt to watch. There is a ton of sexual content, and what some would consider inappropriate content. Everything and everyone is made fun of in these episodes, children, women, old people, disabled people minorities, you name it. This show is not for children or minors. It's not even for some adults. For me, it was a good distraction from what I normally watch, but I doubt I would watch anything along these lines again.

This show is the epitome of unfiltered and brash comedy in the best ways. I loved it.

I'm very surprised to see so many negative reviews. I think those are partially by Tom Segura haters, which I'm still trying to fully understand, but it seems like quite a few of the online trolls have something out for the guy.

Either way, the series is doing something different and unique. Each episode delivers a rapid-fire mix of unsettling and shockingly hilarious scenarios, which I find impressive and very fun. It's definitely NOT for the easily offended, but for those who enjoy comedy that pushes limits and dives into the bizarre, Bad Thoughts is worth a watch.

Beyond the writing and jokes, the series is also surprisingly cinematic. Each sketch is shot with polish and I thought the team behind the camera did an extraordinary job. It elevates the chaos, giving even the most absurd moments a strangely beautiful, engaging edge.

It's what we would call in the UK a Marmite show..you're either going to love it or hate it..in either case NEVER read the ingredients label..!

A show for those with a short sketch attention span, that would invariably, if allowed to continue for say another dozen episodes, lose its shock value and numb the observer with the brutality, as the next instalment tries to out-shock the previous one...there's only so far that road can take you before creativity needs to step in..à la Black Mirror.

Do wonder if Tom Segura isn't a secret Monty Python fan as they did some like this 40+ years ago in a different era, but kept evolving which gave them longevity..

I consider myself a huge Segura fan, so was excited for this show. Well, it doesn't take long to devolve into filth.

I'm no prude, and I know Segura's typical humor. But this show is at times over the top obscene. I felt like an edgy teen wrote half the scenes, not Segura himself. You spend more time looking away wincing than laughing.

It's not all bad, though. There are moments of brilliance and belly laughing laced throughout. I wish they could have captured more of that.

No idea where it can go from here. Hopefully a one off idea that fizzles out. Would love them to sponsor more of his standups, and less of whatever you call this.
