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.

As title says, I forced myself to sit through this hour long "comedy" special. Netflix has recently put out comedy specials for several comedians and I'm someone that likes to sit though these specials and get a good laugh. I think I was 5 minutes into disaster when I realized how unfunny she actually is. I literally had to force myself to sit through the next 50 min just because I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt that she could possibly turn things around. Boy was I wrong- not only did she not make me chuckle once, the longer the show went on the more pathetic she looked. I'm certain he did well cashing in on this special but I almost feel as if netflix should issue me.

Sorry, I've been a stand-up comedy addict since the Catch a Rising Stars days. The last thing comics go to when desperate for laughs is sex. Always a crowed pleaser. Unfortunately, you go there over-and-over again. Wish you the best of luck. I realize how hard stand-up comedy is and respect you for your work. I think you can do better.

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.

All in all pretty cringe worthy American humor at its worst. These guys should stick to talking with themselves in a bar or their dusty basement sofa. They do not belong on a stage.It's awkward to sit through because the jokes aren't really laugh-out-loud funny by any means and it moves super slow. The guys seem like cool guys but I didn't want to sit and watch them finish each other's sentences over and over again while they swayed back and forth and putted around the stage awkwardly. Nothing 2 entertaining to watch.
