Jim Jefferies: I Swear to God

I absolutely loved this. Jim Jefferies could be reading my mind, because I to am Australian and an atheist, and Jim pulls no punches. If you are an atheist, or if you're a Christian but don't take it literally, you can probably watch it and enjoy it. He does also pick on other religions, but Christianity wears the brunt of it.

However the religious humour dominates the first half. The second half works into a large story involving a specific sex act that I can't talk about on IMDb, but lets just say keep the kiddies elsewhere.

I should also add that, being an Australia, Jim swears like an Australian. So if you don't like swearing I'd steer clear.

As for the specific humour, the humour is "working class" and brutal, raw, in your face humour. As in, sexual abuse, physical abuse, child abuse, and so on become part of the jokes.

Defiantly not for everyone. The jokes will potentially offend and the subject matter is taboo, but if you can get past it, it's incredibly funny.

If you enjoy stand-up comedy, then "Jim Jefferies: I Swear to God" is a show that is well worth sitting down to watch.

The jokes that Jim Jefferies deliver here are funny, to the point and put out there with no wrapping, no cushioning, no boundaries and no concern. This is like a slap to the face, but Jim Jefferies does it so well. Despite the excessive amount of foul language and topics that could be considered offensive or disturbing by some, then Jim Jefferies do manage to deliver these with his Australian charm and accent in a manner that it becomes acceptable and funny.

Jim Jefferies manages to get well around topics in this show, ranging from religion and racism to his own family and childhood, as well as from drugs and alcohol to sex and a moment of clarity for the handicapped.

There is a lot of political incorrectness here and a lot of jokes below the belt. So some viewers may not just be suitable for this. Just a friendly word of warning.

Lots of laughs here, great jokes, good punchlines, hilarious guy. And to summarize this; just watch the show.

Brilliant, laugh out loud funny,love his story telling

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

I just love Jim Jefferies. Makes me crack up everytime I watch one of his shows. And this show is exactly what I hoped it to be. I knew what I was going to get and I can't get enough of it. So saying I had a pretty good night in front of the telly isn't a lie. Him being an atheist, like I am also, and making fun about how dumb religious people are is one of my favorite things to watch. And this is done in America of all places, where religious people take their religion very very serious, I couldn't be more pleased. And just before I wrote my review on this show I read the negative reviews on here. I don't need to read the positive ones because they think just like me. But the bad reviews, they were like the icing on the cake. It's like Jim's show is not over yet. I just get a bonus round by reading those God fearing Christians. They are going to pray for our souls, we will go straight to hell etcetera... It's just great to piss those ignorants off. I want Jim Jefferies as president.
