Jim Norton: Mouthful of Shame (2017)

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

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.

The reviews already posted here drive the point home -- there's no debate that this special is awful and does not approach funny. So I'm going to openly speculate on why he made this colossal pile of garbage. I think he's daring everyone to call him out so that she can blame the negative reviews on those who disagree with her politically. he's already blamed criticism on the "alt-right."This has to be intentional - adding 50 pounds to her frame and then dressing in tight leather. Making a minimal effort on her appearance -- hair in a ponytail, etc. Awful, rehashed, crass "jokes" with no comedic value. This is clearly an antagonistic approach and based on her political

Starts out with her comparing singing to going to war. Then there is the lip sinking. Let's make fun of the church and put strippers in nun outfits. Ho-hum. A few guys kissing guys. A few guys grinding each other. Political misstatements. And some boobies and the same old music on replay. SO BORING. OH, and you get to see her grandma parts hanging out over and over again.

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.
