Tom Segura: Sledgehammer

This is in the running for worst stand up of all time. All he talks about is life events that aren't funny. There's no punchline, no real joke happening. Tom is essentially emulating the other killers of comedy in his delivery and actions. This stand up should have been titled, "the everyday lives of humans." No big deal. Nothing he says in this special matters...nothing. If you were to write your boring daily life in a journal, publish the writing, and have people fawn over it like it was something never heard or accomplished before, great, this standup is for you. It's a boring take on his boring life.

Tom segura is not funny! I don't understand why anyone still thinks he is even worth watching, furthermore who is paying this guy? I didn't even make it through the laugh track after his first joke and i already knew this was a waste of time and money. He was on kill tony the other day wearing his adorable matching jacket with joe rogan and you could see just by they're reaction to a special needs comic (jared nathan) that neither of them should have the title of comedian anymore but i said "hey i'll give this special a shot" he is supposed to be funny after all... turns out he's very out of touch and very unfunny.

Another lazy special from a man who delivered some great memorable bits in the past. Yet now, for a second special in a row, he is just doing podcasting with pauses for easy name-dropping caused ovations. Tom is just coasting on his fame and doing nothing of the actual stand-up work like coming up with premises, developing bits, making original punchlines. He is just telling a stories like any random person would. Followed sometimes by his signature and still funny noise making. This would be trashed broadly if not for his developed and loyal audience that don't seem to acknowledge he isn't doing stand up anymore.

I watched it 3 times already. I laughed so hard at his Mum getting high. I've felt felt just like her. I loved that actual video you posted with her on the porch. When she said "don't leave me" and you said "I'm not leaving you" made my heart happy. But you should have said to her let's talk about Hawaii. I laughed so hard at his little son flushing his keys. He does an awesome Uncle Joey impression. He sounds just like him. I wasn't a fan of the round room but that's only because I love his subtle facial expressions and I wouldn't want to miss them if I was there. Can't wait for the next one. I will probably watch it again. 😂 Thank you, I love you.

This was my fourth stand-up comedy from Tom Segura, a comedian that I enjoy watching or better listen to. Sledgehammer wasn't my favourite though, that was Disgraceful from 2018, but it was still good enough for my wife and I to have a pleasant evening. There were enough good kinky jokes to bring some smiles on our faces. Those are just the best jokes. I think the venue where this was recorded didn't add to the quality of the show. It's a round podium so sometimes he talks to you with his back, certainly not something I would pay for, but on television he's of course always facing you. The show wasn't very fluent either but other than that it was okay, good enough if you're a fan of him.

Glad the crowd enjoyed it! I like Tom a lot, I really like Mostly Stories and Disgraceful, and I liked ball hog too. But I think I laughed maybe 3 times in this special. Maybe he got too healthy and too successful to laugh at himself or find real humour in situations like he used to, but this is felt a little bit flat.. Why is comedy so bad now? Are they so scared to get cancelled they won't say anything remotely funny any more? Seems like Dave Chappelle and a few others like Sam Morrill are the only funny people left willing to take a risk. I don't need it to be "edgy", god forbid, right?! But comedy used to be a LITTLE bit edgy. Pryor, hicks, carlin Chappelle.... Little bit of bite. And I'm not taking about being transphobic or offensive I'm taking about saying funny things that actually make you think, or maybe things that are actually true that you haven't articulated yourself. This just isn't funny enough.

I'm a huge Segura fan, I've seen him live many times and this special is definitely his worst. It's not terrible, but it isn't much of a "special" that I'd recommend to anyone that isn't already aware of Tom Segura's material and family relationships. The big issue with this is that it's SO MUCH FAN SERVICE. Basketball injury and recovery, Christina's injury and his interaction with the police, talking about his relationship with his kids/mom and dad, taking edibles with Joey Diaz, Garth Brooks references, ect. It's essentially all of the jokes/stories that Tom Segura and YMH fans already know, but with a Netflix logo on it. The sad part is that the last time I saw him live (post-Ball Hog recording, pre-Covid), he had new material that was pretty good, but I guess he decided to completely scrap it once the basketball injury happened. Not a single joke from the winter 2019-2020 pre-Covid era made it into this special, but super played out "where are the bodies, G" fan service winks made the cut.

And I was nervous for this special to air because my husband and I...feel asleep at the show. I feel like about half way thru I started nodding off and my husband around the same and we only had one drink. I was embarrassed and nervous you would see us sleeping esp because Im a Tom fan; seen all his specials and love his podcast with Cristina...but looking at the other reviews, guess it wasn't so far fetched after all that we thought it wasn't as great as his others and couldnt stay awake. And it was worse live in my opinion sadly :/ I think if he would've engaged more with the audience it would've helped.

This "show" is so bad i had to force myself to finish it. It took me three tries because i kept falling asleep. It is mind numbingly boring, weak and bland. There are zero jokes in it. I kept wondering how this guy ended up on the stage with this weak performance. Lame attempts of telling jokes mixed with inappropriate stories. ( Side note: do not shower with your kid!) The laughs felt fake. The stories were sleep inducing and pointless. If this is the best he can do then i don't get his fame. There are better amateurs out there than him. Maybe the other reviewers are right and he was funnier in the past...

I don't know what was that! I laughed once or twice at most. I don't follow his podcast, but I've watched his other specials, his earlier works were fantastic. But now he seems to have lost all his mojo. I wonder if this is because he is so consumed by podcast and so. This special was very disappointing to say the least. I watched till the end, but over 3 days! I only persisted till the end only in the hope that there will be something. But the jokes never landed well. Tom needs to get out of his bubble where all his super fans are simply blinding him to the fact that his materials need some work.
