Iliza: Confirmed Kills

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.

Observant but not especially insightful. She does a good job of articulating certain tropes and hallmarks of the modern, Western, liberal arts educated, upper middle class, female, millennial, ego monster's experience. The whole set seems forced (forced for content, for message, for relatability) - like she's only hearing the laughs and not the hollowed, dead spaces around them. She never achieves the state of mass hypnosis you need to get the audience to go along with her on the journey...and so the jokes never really land. I appreciate that she thinks she's saying something important, and that she has a voice worth hearing, but I don't think she earns it with her performance. Lots of shtick and meme-signalling throughout that comes across as manipulative despite trying to wink and nod knowingly at the audience. "Fast" and "loud" do not in themselves = "funny." That all said, I think it's an honest piece of work and these sorts of strident performances tend to focus an artist's following. I'm sure she'll strengthen her diehards and perhaps gain a few new fans because of this grating, 80s-90s era, Kinisonian-ish, rant, but no doubt she's lost a few here as well - I was on the fence (mostly cause she's alright to look at) but I'm no longer interested in watching any future specials from Iliza. Next time, less lurching at the laugh and more actual funny, please.

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

I finally got her to tell me what she was watching! She didn't want to tell me and have me log in and knock her off Netflix in case everyone else in the family was on it, understandably. So I politely waited until tonight and after she had gone to bed and turned on this show! BTW, I had to see it because my daughter, who is a highly trained actress and has just started stand up comedy and performed a few places around the world, said Iliza Snlesinger is the best comic in the world. I was like what? I mean my daughter is sweet and supportive but that is very high praise! Clearly I had to see for myself. I was very amazed by not only the Lol factor of Iliza's comedy, I have to use her first name because that last name is no "Smith"! Not trying to be too personal. I was amazed though by how many topics she covered and in what depth! Her imagination is amazing! I mean I felt like I was right there with her! I could really relate too, which is great because I am probably her Mom's age, etc... Still, I found her to be really funny and informative! Ever since Hannah Gatsby it is not enough that the comedy be funny, I want to feel informed too now. I cannot wait until Covid is over and we can seek Iliza out in a live show and surprise my daughter!! This will be amazing! She seems super sweet too! I also watched Her Elder Millineal show and boy was I so embarrassed! I thought millennial meant born in this century. I had no idea my kids are both millinneals and I have been making fun of them in front of my daughter! I should have known because she really does act like one! They can be so annoying and it was fun to see Iliza make fun of them, herself. Once again, I could relate! Who knew, I have 2 millinneals, 3 chihuahuas, 2 American Short Hair cats and a grand baby on the way, as well as having been locked up for covid for 10 months! It explains a lot!

Anyway, her shows are great! I can see why my daughter confidently proclaimed she and Katherine Ryan are the best comics. I have to add Tom Papa and Hannah Gatsby in there too! I would totally buy stock in this young lady!
