Tim Dillon: A Real Hero

I love Tim Dillon but this special just wasn't his best. He does better stand up on his podcast. Maybe he was in his head about the special and it being on Netflix but within about 15 minutes I was scrolling through my phone.

He was just on Rogan again recently and I swear I've already listened to that episode 3 times in a week. He literally had me choking laughing - and of course I get that doing a podcast is totally different energy than being on a stage but Tim never has to try to be funny he just is. He's brilliant. But in this special he seemed to be trying.

Covid is a beat up subject. Nothing worse than when comedians talk about Joe Rogan in their own specials. Thats just as beat up. The cruise but was great and original. The rest just seemed to be outdated, easy subject to rant on. I love Tim. I never miss a podcast. He could have done A LOT better than this. 5/10.

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...

This guy is a friend of Joe Rogan and a regular guest on his podcast who is a very funny guy. He reminds me of Artie Lang, a lot. He is a very bright guy but plays the "blue collar", or even White trash role very well. His commentary on Woke culture, social matters, and more. He is critical, and self-effacing and I found him very funny. A mess, but very funny.

I personally love tim, listen to his podcast every week and love his sense of humor. I might have set my expectations a bit high bcuz of how good of a ranter he is, and the fact that's all improvised for the most part. Considering that, i thought with more structure it woulda packed a better punch. Don't get me wrong i still laughed pretty good at some points but i don't think this was at his full potential.
