Jeff Foxworthy: The Good Old Days

I spent the whole time wondering how this could have been released as a finished product.

The only thing I came up with is that he has a big name, so every time he practiced this material he got laughs leading him to believe it was funny.

Is the 2 drink minimum making comics think their material is way better than it is?

Netflix keeps raising prices, canceling quality shows and pumping out garbage comedy and terrible reality TV.

I rage cancelled my subscription after seeing this attempt at a "special".

Jeff is a great comedian. He seems to have lost a step. While there are funny parts in this it seems somehow to be missing a vital element. I cannot say it better thatn that. I know that fails to convey my point. He just missed the mark.

You know that one old guy who always tells the same corny jokes at every gathering and draws them out longer and longer every year? That's what Jeff reminds me of here. He starts off by saying his wife is a visual interpreter, or something made up, and then proceeds to mimic the characteristics of someone with undiagnosed adhd - for 2 very long minutes - (or someone on meth). In fairness, most people over 50 don't realize that's an illness and has a treatment - my mother was like that and, trust me, there's nothing funny about it. If you make it past that horrible experience, you might enjoy some of the Remember Whens (if you're over 60) but it's just not funny. Some of them are mildly amusing but then he beats them like a dead horse. You definitly need to be in your 60s (raises hand) to even understand some of the humor now that we're in the age of me too and cancel culture. I didn't finish it but I did get 30 min in, thus the 3 stars giving the benefit of doubt for the parts I declined.

I'm an old guy and Twitter was on fire about this show tonight. So, I thought I would give it a watch. I got15 minutes into an hour long show and I heard 3-4 mildly funny things that made me crack a momentary smile. But they were quickly forgotten with new bouts of soft spoken ramble. And I normally like these old guy/back in the day shows. But this one is just too boring. I turned it off at the 15 minute mark.

I will say I love JF. He is a comedian that that always brings it. No this isn't the best show he's done but it's well worth watching. One thing that I love the most about him is his show is clean and not riddled with language. I'm a US Marine so I'm not a novice when it comes to foul language. But there is something refreshing to sit down and watch a comedy special and not have to hear non stop f bombs. Jeff proves you don't have to cuss to be funny. That's probably one of the reasons he had a loyal fan base. They know he's not gonna f bomb you to death. Again this isn't his best performance but man it's good to see him back on the stage.
