Seriously, I keep waiting for that 'Triumph the Comic Insult Dog' moment to kick in, where he explains that the whole thing was a joke in bad taste, you know..?
"For me to poop on!"
But no, that context is seemingly lacking, wtf?
I'm honestly baffled, here. Jim Jefferies is normally GOLD in everything he touches, but... *&$@# is this anti-woman shizzle?
I saw him when he was on tour with Jimmy Carr and got a bit of a ick vibe from a lot of his material. It felt like he was taking the edgier, sexist angle of his schtick and instead of using it as a platform to make deeper jabs at our society, he was leveraging it for manosphere talking points.
Very disappointing. More like a Bill Maher show than a clever comic.
Idk I can't get a straight read out of him. Sometimes he is funny and poignant, sometimes he seems like he is secretly maga. I get the same mixed feelings about bill burr.
I think the poop is implied. He's clearly a shock comic, his gimmick is saying things that make people uncomfortable. He's playing a character and how much of himself is part of that character, we can only guess , but when he's on stage he's "the guy who says humorous offensive things."
I'm sure many wouldn't find it funny, but I know that many do. As is their right.
Idk there's probably some funny way to make an indictment of dating culture, without punching down on anyone, but is he a good enough comedian to get there?
One of the world's top comics, with plenty of specials and his own shows. If there was some kind of critics' roundtable on comedians, I'm pretty sure he'd be rated at or near the top for years, now.
What year is this? That type of humor was overdone in the 90's, and irrelevant now. Even in the early 2000s it was normal to split bills or trade off paying. Same with the "wish I were gay" nonsense. I'll be honest, I didn't get past that.
May as well be joking about Y2K. Totally anachronistic.
