Also the way the special opens is great. Just going off on Bill Cosby and then going off on how jokes are meant to be jokes and that nothing on stage is meant to be taken seriously. And he's completely right. The people complaining after his jokes in Australia were stupid. He's right in that you can't just take what he does out of context and transcribe it. He's right in that nothing he says should be taken seriously, and the way he parodies it by his "disclaimer" is hilarious.

I will admit it tapered off a bit after that point but that was gold and that was the comedic fact which has been long repeated by other classic comedians such as Bill Burr. Don't take offense to anything you see on stage, it's all comedy and entertainment. It's not serious. And I remember when Demetri Martin got a lot of **** for making similar jokes which was kind of unfair.

"You can't make [redacted] jokes...well I just did!" - Jim Jefferies :laugh:

It was a good routine. I laughed a lot, so I give Jeffries a ton of props.

However, Alcoholocaust has been my favourite.

If you haven't seen Alcoholocaust, then you're 'an idiot'.

Another great special from Jim. My favorite comedian for a while now. Took me long time to find a better than Louis C.K.

never heard of him before but watched it on Netflix last night, lots of it was really funny. Might have to see some of his other shows.

It was solid, but then I guess I don't know what constitutes "threadworthy" for a comedy special.
