It's a decent standup special, but I didn't laugh quite as much as I did during some of his previous shows. Jokes complaining about a different generation are kind of dull for me personally, and that goes for older generations complaining about younger ones and younger generations complaining about older ones. He didn't really bring anything new or fresh to the table in this regard, in my opinion. The stuff about comedic boundaries changing was genuinely insightful and well done though, as it is something that the world is dealing with and trying to balance at the moment. Overall it's a decent way to kill an hour, but I was still a tiny bit disappointed.

Not bad, but Jefferies has released better specials
Handful of Good Jokes - and one long gross awful joke
This special has a few really smart moments. But in-between them are long winded jokes about how he needs to use the restroom. Which just wasn't funny.
Aw man I got so excited when I saw this...
For a netflix special, this is well above the average. But for Jim, it's arguably his least funny special. He still has the hilarious delivery, but the jokes were weak and far between, most were actually just stories that didn't even lead to a punchline.
I don't know what happened there, I suppose netflix did what netflix does best and ordered him to scrap all edgy humor, so good ol' Jim tried to rely on safe stories... But yeah, pretty disappointing... Still worth watching though.
And what was with the airplane peanut allergy bit? We all know it was basically a recycled Ricky Gervais bit, except your version wasn't even funny. Is it so hard to tell an original joke? This special only has like nine jokes, surely they could've all been original....
