Jim Jefferies: I Swear to God Trailers

Jim Jefferies: I Swear to God: The easily offended might do best to avoid Jim Jefferies’ raunchy, rude humor (or at least imbibe the two-drink minimum beforehand), but the Australian-born comedian provides plenty of laughs for everyone else in this HBO special. In I Swear to God, Jefferies continues his patented brand of comedy that once got him punched by an audience member, discussing the idiocy of no-smoking signs, sluts vs. studs, and his father’s Holocaust jokes.

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.

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.

I am watching this right now on HBO, and I haven't laughed once. It's not that it's offensive; it's that this man is blindingly unfunny. I don't care who a comic insults if there is an actual joke behind it ...somewhere. I love Louis CK, Chris Rock (misogynist, yet damn funny), The late greats George Carlin, Bill Hicks and Richard Pryor.... Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, Maria Bamford, David Cross, Margaret Cho, Dana Gould, Jimmy Carr, Dylan Moran, ..all can be as insulting, arrogant and offensive as they please. Because they have the jokes to back it all up.No one cares if a joke is PC or not. We just need a comedian to be funny. He needs to stop hiding behind outrageousness and write an actual joke.Be funnier

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!
