Stand up comedy is never easy. You have to have a natural talent for humor, sometimes improvising, and perfect facial expressions. Tom Segura has that. His shows are funny and Disgraceful is just what I wanted it to be. That some people think you can't laugh with some subjects is their opinion but I think, and I'm not the only one, that you can laugh with anything as long as you don't laugh with the handicap of a specific somebody. All the rest should be tolerated, as humor is the best cure for everything, even sarcasm, which in this stand-up comedy is overly represented. I had real good laughs, and even with the milder jokes I still had a smile on my face, so to me it's definitely worth watching.
... View MoreThe special got special attention because Tom made fun of not being able to use a derogative term for special/disabled people. I'm not repeating the word that starts with a "R" just in case people reading this flag the review because of that, but you surely know what I mean. Now whatever your stance on the use of the word is, will kind of define if you are open to Toms comedy. Or even if you feel this is comedy.The special in itself is funny (again eye of the beholder), but it's not classic material. I generally like Tom, have seen him on a couple of talk shows and I like that he dares to not hold back any punches. So if you are easily offended, and I know I'm stressing that point, but I just want to make sure that you are not going to watch it ... if you are for obvious reasons, if you are not, don't expect it to be disgraceful either (well at times obviously). Neat package and good jokes
... View MoreMr. Segura suggests replacing the words "that is retarded" or "that is not smart" with the words "that idea has an extra copy of the 21st chromosome." This not in any way funny. He clearly doesn't know anyone who has Down Syndrome or he wouldn't make such an ignorant comment. I will agree that this stand up routine is aptly named and it is truly DISGRACEFUL !!!!!!!!! Netflix should be ashamed for being involved with spreading this kind of message on its streaming service!
