Moviecut—Jim Jefferies: This Is Me Now

Jim Jeffries is still a very funny fellow. In a way he reminds me of Norm Macdonald in that he doesn't get straight to the punch line. First comes a seemingly unrelated statement. He is a tease; and you either enjoy the teasing, or you don't.

I've really liked a few of his shows, but this one just wasn't as funny, at least not for me, and there was one certain moment (which I shan't name as to not have spoilers) that I thought so uncomfortable (but not in a good, challenging way) it had me cringe. It's one of the reasons I'm a bit harsh with my rating. I reckon he does deserve more for the rest of the show, but definitely not 7 - a 5 at the most for me.

This is a representation of how California can ruin the quality of a comedian through Hollywood and L.A.'s political correctness from far leftists. Jim lost his edge and started making recycled jokes in this This Is Me Now. He said the word contract in this show, and other comedians that started to decrease their quality for Netflix have said the same word. Is it an indicator of a potentially bad show for all comedians now? Also, Jim has talked about how his audience paid for his show just like the other comedians who have decreased their quality for Netflix have. Is that another indicator of a potentially bad show for all comedians now? Should I just switch to another comedian if a comedian says their audience paid for their show and says the word contract in their show because those 2 things are indicators that their show will suck? Besides all of that, this show really disappointed me and made me think Jim being sentimental about his depression was too much for me to take. He needs to get some help and maybe when he does his shows will be better. I think because of his breakup with his girlfriend, his depression before that relationship I mentioned started, and his involvement in L.A. have all messed with his quality of comedy.

I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Jim Jefferies really knows how to a tell a story with a super funny ending. Reminds me of Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor who also had me laughing so hard it hurt. He says it like it is. No holds barred. That's what I like. But you may not... That's just how it works with opinions.

I've witnessed funnier tax returns. Jim really missed the mark with this one. Skip this and head straight to an actual comedian, like Ricky Gervais.

Pretty good, not so sharp like previous special but still enjoyed!

I watched this on my computer and after like 25 minutes I moved it to my 2nd monitor and decided to do something else primarily. The jokes are okayish, but not very original. There wasn't a single moment where I actually laughed or, you now, exhaled air through my nose loudly. I watched his TV show exactly once and turned it off after 10 minutes. It was pure garbage, non-funny and nowhere near the old Jim stuff. Of course there is a difference between a stand up and a weekly show (is it weekly? no idea). But then again he has writers for that show. Anyways, he seems more tame, maybe life wore him down. Maybe he has to do specials, but doesn't really want to. The party in Hollywood stuff where he met de Niro: Is it just me or did he tell this somewhere else already? Because I knew the part, I knew he would pretend to be a director, I knew his agent would jump in etc. Maybe he told this in some YouTube video, but that must've been at least 4-6 months old, because I didn't really watch any Jim stuff recently. Overall it was a 4/10, but he is still likable, so 5/10

Do me a favor and work something funny next time. Maybe Work a bit before act, not just drink and think you're funny. Thank god I'm not one of those sorry people who had pay to sit and wait for a plasure night.. ..and didnt get it.
