Tim Dillon: A Real Hero

Tim deserves the stage hes now on as he speaks the truth on todays society... You tell the real story of what's going on in this world and the audience will laugh.. just look back on George Carlins stand ups...

Tim deserves everything he can get for being truthful and having self respect...

I like Tim Dillon a fair amount, his comedy is very energetic and fairly creative at times. This special did not do justice to his standup as much as it should've. Americans fat, liberals are weird, Covid (which really dates the special) and so on. Granted these bits were still delivered with great energy but the crowd was lackluster, you can tell the editing team had to add in fake laughter. I won't say Tim's a hack but some of his jokes could've used some work. I found the experience more positive as there were moments that were genuinely funny which made my rating a 6 rather than a 4 or 5.

Tim isn't a great stand-up. He's a decent podcaster/commentator. I don't blame Netflix. Good joke-writers can write good jokes even when they're not being vulgar or offensive. If Tim has any good jokes in his portfolio, he left them there for this special. Maybe this was intentionally poor as part of some big long play to get all comedians to self-release like Louis CK and Andrew Schulz...

While I love the comedy he's creating on stage, his rhythm is obviously affected from this auditorium that completely adore him;which causes more applause breaks rather than genuine laughter,which kills the special. Feel bad for the guy but hopefully he bounces back with another special with a crowd that doesn't worship him,and instead just tries to go to laugh at a comedian,like we used to back in the day.

Tim is one of the funniest comics ever, yet here he's rambling about the most basic, overdone things - fat people, fast food, "white people are nazis", "texans hate liberals"...

This guy was never so bland and generic until it came time to "clean up" his act for Netflix. The result is... this... Nothing special.

Really disappointing. I'll just assume this is what a comic has to stoop to in order to get a Netflix special at all.

And you can tell this is the selected Netflix audience - they got deathly quiet when he mentioned Joe Rogan, like he dropped an N bomb or something.

Worst of all, just like an Amy Shumer or another hack comedian's special, you can tell there's fake audience laugher and cheers added in post. Sometimes a sample of an audience cheering would play, but at the same time the camera would reveal that the audience is actually sitting still and not reacting whatsoever. It's ridiculous. Netflix keeps doing this, and I get why with its many bad comics, but with Tim?
