    Funny, but not hilarious.

    But those who like, could love it. You gotta have a taste for his style it seems. Everyone will enjoy, but some will find it the best.

    Great, but not for normal humans.

    This was one of the funniest yet crudest comedy shows I have ever seen. Anthony Jeselnik even warns you about how vulgar he is so don't you complain about all the dead baby jokes and mocking tragedies such as the Boston Bombing, the 911 terrorist attacks and Eric Clapton's son.

    You will cringe, awkward laugh and be angry all at the same time. I think the best part of the show was seeing the audience reactions which is why they show the audience so much. Watching the men laugh at a sexist joke and the women just sit there with annoyed looks on their faces is one of the most hilarious things ever.

    The one thing I love a lot in the show other than the audience reactions is Anthony's plot twist humor. He always starts telling a joke, then you THINK you know what he is going to say next but then he switches the form on you which completely get you off guard which makes me laugh a ton.

    All in all, great performance by Anthony. Look forward to his future endeavors, hopefully he will do more stand-up one day...

    Hilarious

    This dude is hilarious, this one is better than the 2019 Special, I laughed very hard today, he now became one of my favorite comedians. Give it a try you will laugh very hard.

    Near Perfection

    I'm not sure that all viewers will get that this is an act within an act. Yet hardcore Jeselnik fans will; and that makes his comedy that much more brilliant. My generation has only spawned two truly original and laugh out loud comedians. Jeselnik and Izzard.

    Refreshing

    Sick(ly) funny. Comedy's dark side. Not for the snowflakes. Mad me laugh from start to finish.

      Anthony Jeselnik: I was in a bar last night, saw this beautiful woman. Like a supermodel. I walked up, I was like, "Hey, where are you from? What do you do?" She goes, "Oh, me? I live here in San Fransico. I'm a brain surgeon." And I don't know if this makes me sexist, but I was like really impressed. You know? I mean, most women can't pull off sarcasm.
