Bad Thoughts

It's what we would call in the UK a Marmite show..you're either going to love it or hate it..in either case NEVER read the ingredients label..!

A show for those with a short sketch attention span, that would invariably, if allowed to continue for say another dozen episodes, lose its shock value and numb the observer with the brutality, as the next instalment tries to out-shock the previous one...there's only so far that road can take you before creativity needs to step in..à la Black Mirror.

Do wonder if Tom Segura isn't a secret Monty Python fan as they did some like this 40+ years ago in a different era, but kept evolving which gave them longevity..

Comedy sketches with a brutal dark and twisted edge that at first seems to throw you off kilter (even idioms are not safe in this series), where you are not sure what the hell you are watching. Then bang! You find yourself in the gutter, staring up to the absurdity as the senses adapt to the crudeness factor, and laughter surrounds your madness. Yes, it is that kind of brutal show, where nothing is sacred, and everything is in firing range. These are jokes, but the visual kind that work a treat and will challenge your perspective on comedians and the bad thoughts that go through their minds. Not for the easily offended, but a bonus for Tom Segura fans...

I consider myself a huge Segura fan, so was excited for this show. Well, it doesn't take long to devolve into filth.

I'm no prude, and I know Segura's typical humor. But this show is at times over the top obscene. I felt like an edgy teen wrote half the scenes, not Segura himself. You spend more time looking away wincing than laughing.

It's not all bad, though. There are moments of brilliance and belly laughing laced throughout. I wish they could have captured more of that.

No idea where it can go from here. Hopefully a one off idea that fizzles out. Would love them to sponsor more of his standups, and less of whatever you call this.

Tom Segura's Bad Thoughts is exactly what the title promises - a no-holds-barred dive into the most twisted corners of his comedic mind. Known for pushing the boundaries of taste, Segura doesn't just cross the line in this special - he annihilates it. With brutal honesty and a delivery that's as deadpan as it is devastating, he takes aim at everything from personal trauma to the absurdities of everyday life.

The humor is dark, crude, and unapologetically offensive. If you're easily shocked or looking for clean laughs, this isn't the show for you. But for fans of his previous work - or those who appreciate comedy that's fearless, sick-minded, and brilliantly wrong - Bad Thoughts is a masterclass in how far stand-up can go when it refuses to play nice.

It's not for the faint of heart, but that's exactly the point.

Am I the only one who thought this was basically a longer version of "Bill Burr Presents Immoral Compass".

But I'm guessing barely anyone has seen that, since it's on Roku, so no one will probably notice lol...

It's okay, and has a few good ones, but also a fair few bad ones, so it's very hit and miss.

I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Segura, I used to be, but something hasn't felt right about his comedy for a while, but it's still not as bad as Burnt Chrysler.

There's some inside jokes from 'Your Mom's house' and the Rogan-Sphere, but like I say, the good ones are pretty funny, offensive, gross and crazy which I like and the others just miss my sense of humour.

Give it a watch, you're bound to like a few of them.
