Iliza: Confirmed Kills

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

This comedy special is neither comedic nor in the least bit special, except for its amazing capacity in making 75 minutes seem like over 3 hours. Tackling subjects such as gender, feminism, and race, Iliza Shlesinger gathers more (forced) applause than laughs while making contrite, unoriginal points in ways rarely funny or entertaining.

An audience eager to like her and say they had an enjoyable time was not able to mask the obvious: this show is a weird mix of physical and observational humor while not hitting the mark on either, with producers trying *very* hard to make it all seem so clever and hilarious with an abundance of painful, misguided hashtags.

Shlesinger is fond of using her elongated, shapely body to make these weird Grinch-like steps and poses, while contorting her face in off-putting grimaces and using distinctive, cartoonish voices that made me think of a bizarro, unfunny 90's Jim Carrey.

I can accept that not being my cup of tea while resulting humorous to other people. However, what came out of Shlesinger's mouth was just miss after miss after miss, whether speaking about a night out unleashing her inner party goblin or going on and on about women who identify as mermaids, in a particularly puzzling, never-ending bit.

I did chuckle one time near the very end and will admit that a couple of observations in her social commentary were okay, but I had to really push myself to endure this show over 3-4 sittings, sticking to the end only to fairly assess it: it was dreadful.

(+) A couple of her social observations miraculously hit the mark. That's about it.

(-) Jokes extremely hard to find and even those apparent never hit the mark. Uninteresting, painful material. No. Just...no.

Iliza is a hidden gem when it comes to female comedians. I absolutely adored her last Netflix original, and while the speeches went on a little too long, she was able to outweigh those with her usual gut busting show. A little slow at first. But picks up to the usual momentum she does with her stand up. She does extremely well both visually and audibly. Again, I'll admit it's not as good as her last Netflix original, but as long as you are okay with her speeches she goes through, which honestly do give some pretty good points, you're in for a treat as she delivers a hot plate of unique humor. She is able to take the stereotypes down like your grandpa from ww2

Obviously intelligent woman delivers a lot a of moments that make you think , but nothing that makes you laugh. Based on this I would say she's more suited to be a motivational speaker versus a comedienne. Came across as perpetually angry , other comics , male and female have similar delivery styles and have been hilarious. Unfortunately that's not the case here. Somewhat preachy, heavy on the feminism. Might be our demographical differences, but nowhere on this hour seventeen minute journey did I find myself laughing. Made a good start, thought she would build upon her opening bit. But that was the funniest part of the entire thing.

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!
