Tim Dillon: A Real Hero

source: Tim Dillon: A Real Hero

Tim is one of the funniest comics ever, yet here he's rambling about the most basic, overdone things - fat people, fast food, "white people are nazis", "texans hate liberals"... This guy was never so bland and generic until it came time to "clean up" his act for Netflix. The result is... this... Nothing special. Really disappointing. I'll just assume this is what a comic has to stoop to in order to get a Netflix special at all. And you can tell this is the selected Netflix audience - they got deathly quiet when he mentioned Joe Rogan, like he dropped an N bomb or something. Worst of all, just like an Amy Shumer or another hack comedian's special, you can tell there's fake audience laugher and cheers added in post. Sometimes a sample of an audience cheering would play, but at the same time the camera would reveal that the audience is actually sitting still and not reacting whatsoever. It's ridiculous. Netflix keeps doing this, and I get why with its many bad comics, but with Tim?

I love Tim Dillon but this special just wasn't his best. He does better stand up on his podcast. Maybe he was in his head about the special and it being on Netflix but within about 15 minutes I was scrolling through my phone. He was just on Rogan again recently and I swear I've already listened to that episode 3 times in a week. He literally had me choking laughing - and of course I get that doing a podcast is totally different energy than being on a stage but Tim never has to try to be funny he just is. He's brilliant. But in this special he seemed to be trying.

While I love the comedy he's creating on stage, his rhythm is obviously affected from this auditorium that completely adore him;which causes more applause breaks rather than genuine laughter,which kills the special. Feel bad for the guy but hopefully he bounces back with another special with a crowd that doesn't worship him,and instead just tries to go to laugh at a comedian,like we used to back in the day.

Been a huge Tim Dillon fan for a while now, and If you love his podcast, you're gonna love this special. Hilarious jokes done in true Tim fashion! Can't wait to see more material in the future!

Shorter than expected but I had some really good laughs. Silent ones and wheezy ones. I loved this special and thought it was super funny! Tim's impression of Joe had me in tears 😂

This doesn't translate well into a special as his jokes quickly spiral into shouting and loud rants with no punchline. Tim Dillon is funny, he has many great bits and rants on his Podcast, however alot of his jokes and comedy were lost to his intensity and his delivery for the most part was abrasive. A few more years of podcasting and Tim may well develop into a fluid comic with his own style, this special left my ears-ringing and tense.

I think Tim is very funny on his and others podcasts. I gave him about 15 mins to make me laugh and he failed. I turned it off and had to remedy my comedy fix with Eddie Murphy Raw. Witch I've seen countless times and it still had me cracking up. Tim's special is yet another one you can skip.

I personally love tim, listen to his podcast every week and love his sense of humor. I might have set my expectations a bit high bcuz of how good of a ranter he is, and the fact that's all improvised for the most part. Considering that, i thought with more structure it woulda packed a better punch. Don't get me wrong i still laughed pretty good at some points but i don't think this was at his full potential.

Tim deserves the stage hes now on as he speaks the truth on todays society... You tell the real story of what's going on in this world and the audience will laugh.. just look back on George Carlins stand ups... Tim deserves everything he can get for being truthful and having self respect...
