Anthony Jeselnik: Fire in the Maternity Ward

It's not as much a special as it is a dance between both sides of the line that defines the limits that we should never cross in comedy: It crosses it brilliantly and shamelessly and in this day and age, it is refreshing eventhough Mr. Jeselnik has been doing this kind of comedy for a long time. It is delivered flawlessly to a point where it feels unrehearsed and maybe even off the cuffs.

It is also refreshing to get such a great jaw-dropping, eye-popping, one punch combo, misdirection-filled comedy-laced hour in this, yet again, day and age where anyone can get their specials on TV and bore us to death. This is not it.

This is comedy.

I loved it. I am all for the type of jokes that leave you stunned at how far and raw a joke goes and he has the perfect delivery for it. Im now a fan.

I'd never heard of Anthony Jeselnik before and I decided to watch this special just for the sake of it, and I haven't laughed so hard on ages, that being said, the jokes became quite predictable throughout the show as the same premise was used a lot but, this guy is going up there with my favourite comedians now.

Unapologetic, funny, and dark for the sake of being dark.

All jokes are about sensitive social values. So this is unusual and often surprising
