Jim Norton: Mouthful of Shame

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.

He pretty much only does sex humor, and it's quite good.

Most prudes will not like it, but there are a few that will like it a lot.

The opening sequence has some big names and actually sets you up for the show.

Definitely Jim Nortons best special so far! Topical, Personal and Dirty as always Great Crowd Work(That poor girl that saw her parents sleeping together!) Best Intro I've ever seen in a comedy special!!! Hope he keeps on getting better!! And gets more Mainstream recognition along the way. Hard worker...+20 year stand up,radio and podcast host, author, actor and full time pervert!

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 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.
