Jerk

Whatever you decide it's brilliant comedy. It nails the point home that we are all the same even if someone has a physical disadvantage. Yep, even the severely physically disabled can be utter b***ards.

I think other reviewers have missed the point here. Tim actually does have cerebral palsy. He is not mocking it - he is living with it. Check out his youtube standup if you don't believe me. This is seriously good and thought provoking.

I've cerebral palsy. I haven't laughed so much in ages.

Love it.

Don't you dare watch any episode of Jerk until you understand Tim Renkow. Tim Renkow is a comedian, writer and previous Olympic Decathlon athlete representing good 'ol GB. Tim has written all the episodes of Jerk, he's responsible for most of the camera operation and even paid the entire crew with funds from his fortune. You must watch BBC Comedy Feeds-A Brief History of Tim before watching Jerk. You must watch Bobby & Harriet Get Married before watching Jerk. The type of comedy Tim Renkow represents places himself at the center of the punchline not just for laughs but to also make a tragic point. If what type of comedy Tim is trying to convey is unsettling to you, then Mr. Renkow has completed his mission. There is a reason why experienced accomplished folk such as Stu Richards and Lorraine Bracco are onboard with Tim for a reason - and it works. I'm just looking forward to the episodes with Idris Elba, in which he and Tim do some DJ work for some of the local pubs.

First off i love this show. Im sure it wont run another season; in the day of the thin skin generation. Jerk is cutting edge, breaking the bounderies of TV trying to keep us in a box; trying to tell us how to think and act.

The show hits some other social norms. Jerk shows how disabled people and their families can use comedy to "make the best" of the gifts we were born with.

The show was not uncomfortable like one review said. Politically correct ? No!

What is funny or entertainig that is PC? Nothing!
