The Jeselnik Offensive

Like other reviews have said, jeselnik was funny in roasts, but this show is just trying to be even edgier than tosh. And it is instead, just....really bad. I'm quite easily entertained and quite hard to offend, and this show is somehow outside both of those boundaries. Distasteful can be funny. To the right audience. But, he is distasteful without being funny. When clips come on at the end or before my dvr recordings now, I rush to ff. it's simply awful. (Seriously, I'm trying to think of other shows I found distasteful or terribly unfunny, and I'm having trouble. This may very well be my only bad review ever. No, wait-- that Two Broke Girls show. That's pretty bad.)

This show will NOT resonate with everyone; its not that broad. As you can tell from most of the reviews, it's a love or hate situation. Which, if you've ever seen an interview with Anthony Jeselnik, is what he's going for. He's not trying to play it safe, or avoid offending anyone.

It starts from the premise that Anything can be funny. NO subject should be off limits. If you are good with that proposition, there's a good chance you'll like this show.

I miss it greatly and lament its passing. Anthony's stand up is great. I'd love to see him get another shot on TV. If not, I'd be happy to subscribe to a podcast.

Anthony Jeselnik, the supposed "Prince of Darkness," is as boldly arrogant as he is devilishly intelligent. Utilizing one-liners - greatly influenced by comedic greats Mitch Hedberg & Steven Wright - Jeselnik's offensive and scathingly dark sense of humor isn't for everyone. Something that he is aware of, Jeselnik himself - in his 2013 special, "Caligula" - proclaimed, "I assume you all knew who you were coming to see tonight. But if you didn't, you sure as sh*t know now." Anddd that was after rape joke number two. Really, the show is not for everyone, but if you do have a widespread sense of humor - or a pretty basic level of intelligence - it's hard not to only appreciate the jokes, but hold back your laughter as well. Many will label it as profane, unnecessary, unfunny, malicious, and even tasteless, but this is a brilliant new program that showcases the brightest - or darkest depending how you wanna call it - future of comedy.

The show has horrible jokes, its very dry and plain boring. Its been done before by such great comedians like Dave Chappelle. Even Tosh from Tosh.o sounds funnier because he sounds like an asshole and has sarcasm on his voice. This guy just sounds plain boring. Its one of those really bad new generic shows. He cant tell a joke at all. Don't need to watch this show and waste your time. Its pretty repetitive after a while as well so it becomes much more boring. I don't know how this show is even running or who even watches it. The jokes suck, the guy in the show sucks, everything about this show sucks. This show should get canceled and give someone else the time this show is put on comedy central.

I'm really surprised that this series lasted for two seasons.There's nothing the executives at Comedy Central hate more than a show that is actually funny.Well maybe there is, they also hate shows that aren't anti-white.The Offensive didn't waste one minute complaining that whites are evil.Nor did they spend any time preaching that gays are awesome.They ignored the golden rules of Comedy Central and yet somehow this great show slipped through the cracks and got a second season.I noticed that most of the reviewers here didn't like this show.I bet if you read the rest of their reviews they probably all love Friends and Will & Grace.They probably think Jay Leno is a comedic genius and Ellen is just super.See what I'm saying here?They're all idiots.
