Jim Jefferies: I Swear to God (2009) Reviews

• Absolutely Hilarious

  I started laughing as soon as the show started. Jim is a very talented comedian and he pushes the limits of comedy to the max. Steer clear of this guy if you are easily offended or religious, he hits religion like a freight train. Personally, realizing that this particular show is rated TV-MA for a reason, I was prepared for some things that I may not like and was OK with that unlike some of the other reviewers who complain about being offended...(it's MA for a reason, if you're gonna cry about it, don't watch instead of whining online later} However, it turns out I have a lot of the same views as Jefferies and was literally in tears the entire time. If you like a comedian who pushes buttons and tags every single subject nobody else dares, Jim will easily be your new favorite comedian. Two Thumbs Up.

  The famous Australian comedian Jim Jefferies shows himself up on this HBO special and what's the result we get? A comedy that's so funny you will most likely be unable to stop laughing for the whole hour it lasts. And yes, I'll admit. I cried! :D Whether he jokes about religions, sex, porn, sluts or his childhood experiences you just can't stop admiring this man. He holds up no words, has no boundaries and does absolutely anything he wants. What a great comedian - a complete opposite of Will Farrel and his latest pathetic George Bush show.

  I enjoy all types of comedy, from the innocent stuff like Cosby, Sinbad and Brian Regan...to the raunchy profane laced stuff by Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and others. This guy had me laughing out loud...and I was watching it by myself. In my opinion, the trick to watching his style of humor is to not be offended and remember that it is his opinion and he does this stuff to get laughs. He takes a stab at some things that others may deem taboo, but it is all for the sake of getting you to belly laugh and let go for a little while. This guy had me rolling off the couch in quite a few instances and I think you are going to be seeing a lot more of him. Great job Jim...you definitely have a new fan!

  Loved it. His humor may not be for everyone, but if you're not in need of having any sticks removed from certain places, I'm sure you will enjoy it. A lot of his humor is quite raw and I would compare it to movies similar to Tropic Thunder. He covers religion, which could upset some folks, as he is not afraid to speak what's on his mind. He's also not afraid to make fun of himself, as he tells a very embarrassing story about what happened to him after purchasing some adult entertainment material. My advice, if you need to have a stick removed....go get that done first, and then watch it.

• Excellent comedy

  Be warned, this guy isn't for everyone. In fact, I'd say he's probably more often than not going to offend people than make them laugh. Personally, I find him hilarious. I've seen him live at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and he was pure genius. And it's not just a 'guy' thing, either. My girlfriend thinks he's one of the funniest comedians she's ever seen! This show is typical for his style though he was holding back a little at the start and built up to a great finale :) I wasn't sure what an American audience would make of him, to be honest, but he seems to have broken through the dross that normally surrounds a yank's humour gland. He's certainly very different to the usual 'average' comedian they'd get over there like Chris Rock, for example. I mean, they're quite funny but they just don't let rip like Jim :-D
