Jim Norton: Mouthful of Shame

I think my title says it all. Don't bother unless you like typical, needless shouting, really bad "jokes" and an audience who annoyingly loves it. So bad.

The reviews already posted here drive the point home -- there's no debate that this special is awful and does not approach funny. So I'm going to openly speculate on why he made this colossal pile of garbage. I think he's daring everyone to call him out so that she can blame the negative reviews on those who disagree with her politically. he's already blamed criticism on the "alt-right."

This has to be intentional - adding 50 pounds to her frame and then dressing in tight leather. Making a minimal effort on her appearance -- hair in a ponytail, etc. Awful, rehashed, crass "jokes" with no comedic value. This is clearly an antagonistic approach and based on her political

I already like Jim Norton so I'm slightly biased.

What is going on with Ricky Gervais's noise was my first observation? No spoilers, the end part of the intro was epic funny.

It passed the 7-minute test, witch is kind of the deal breaker for my Nintendo generation attention span, if it's not funny within the first 7 minutes I'm on to something else, Jim's stand-up give me some nice big laughs throughout, good show Jim, keep it up... and also loving the radio show/podcast/YouTube thing.

I stumbled upon this stand-up comedy special on Netflix, and I wasn't familiar with the comedian, so I decided to give it a go nonetheless.

It turns out that Jim Norton's sense of comedy was somewhat, nay a lot different than mine because this was mostly just below-the-belt jokes, which is so very 1990s for the stand-up comedy scene.

It had all been done before and by now sex jokes are just not that funny any more, at least not to me. So I must admit that I didn't particularly enjoy most of this stand-up comedy show. I am not a prude or anything, but sex jokes is just so cliché for this genre.

With this show watched, then I can't really claim that I wasn't particularly impressed with the comedy talent of Jim Norton. There are far better stand-up shows available out there. And if you are new to stand-up shows, then "Jim Norton: Mouthful of Shame" is not suitable for a proper introduction to the genre.

So not only unfunny jokes but two (if not more) are stolen ones too.

And he did them in order so you can't even pretend this was just the biggest coincidence in history.

Sorry dude, you're unfunny and not charismatic, though I hope you try again better and actually do a good special next time.

EDIT: After rewatching this drunk I gotta admit its not that bad. Keep doing what you're doing, man. I'm changing my score from 1 to 5 because he did make me laugh in the 2nd half and he does great banter with the audience. Still not thrilled about the potentially stolen jokes but then again idk who told them first.
