Not everyone is a fan, since he's 100% really really dark humor.....but I LOVE it.

Their dark, but clever as fukk.

Sample.

"I had a 2 year old son who died. He died the same way that Eric Clapton's son died.

For inspiration"

:mjlol:

I don't think this was a good as his Caligula special or his Shakespeare album honestly, as there are fewer jokes overall....but the haymakers are really, really special.

I fukking LOVE jeselnik. His non sequiturs,dead pan delivery and dark dark humor slays me.


This special had some great jokes but agreed it wasnt as good as caligula which was one of the funniest stand ups ive ever heard in my life.

Jim Jeffries and Bill Burr are straight up funnier than him in general as comedians with more styles and delivery, while bordering on his level of crudeness (moreso Jeffries than Burr) without overly relying on that schtick alone, but he do got some sharp ass lines and jokes when he's on point. He's debatably sharper than both, but only in that 1 style. Then again Jeffries jokes about about as sharp and pungent as his, but with even better deliveries, concepts and POVs, albeit drunken slurred with heavy accent (part of the humor and charm too tho, lol). Burr has the illest perspectives style of humor tho between them and overall highest relatability of comics in the game right now. He's definitely your comic's comic, if you get what I mean and is one of the most likable comics out there, he can go offensive and still pull you back on his side like it's nothing.

I'm almost done with the latest special and I definitely think the earlier ones were better. I do think he was slightly less monotone this time around tho. Both Burr and Jeffries most recent specials were actually even better than their previous ones comparatively as well, specially Burr's once you let it marinate and take it all in.

This special killed me specifically because almost everything he said was so offensive that no one should ever say it.
