Jim Jefferies: Freedumb (2016 TV Special) User Reviews

Brilliant!

[thegreatarash · 9/10 · 14 July 2016]

Starts with Cosby and ends with letter to his son!

Funny throughout with big laughs every few minutes, my smile never went away. This is a must watch for any true comedy fan. Jim has perfected the jokes and his delivery is unmatched these days. I saw the same show in Vancouver with friends and we were on the ground laughing for half the show. Jim's act will never be for the politically correct so if you are easily-offended this is not for you.

It's odd that comedians have become the philosophers of our time and few minutes become a bit preachy but even those feel sincere and heartfelt.

I hope he releases one of these every year.

One of the greats

Jim Jefferies is right up there for me, and this show is one of my favourites! This guy is absolutely hilarious and, unless you're an easily offended type of individual, you'll have a great time.

IGNORE THE REVIEWS

[kodachrome-03936 · 9/10 · 25 June 2020]

It's a great show.. ignore all the butthurt Americans that review with ignorance (that he makes fun of) . It's really funny and well thought out. Give it a watch..

Amazing

[GarrettRR · 10/10 · 19 February 2017]

While Jim is a bit rough around the edges at time, when he wants to get serious, he can make many valid points about the topic he's speaking about.

I've seen people getting mad at his view points and it just baffles me... It's COMEDY! If you can't take jokes that may disagree with your political views, don't watch this, or any other comedian for that matter.

Amazing show by an amazing comedian, hopefully his next show is just as good!

A work of art

[sanjay-joshi01 · 10/10 · 21 July 2019]

Really don't understand the 1 ratings here. This stand up contains deeply offensive jokes, no holds barred comedy, very personal stories from the comedian, and a tight set with impeccable delivery and timing. If you're easily offended, please stay away. Others - please watch this classic.

Isn't that what we all want? Freedumb...

[paul_haakonsen · 6/10 · 9 June 2018]

This stand-up comedian act is definitely not for everyone, because his material is somewhat of an acquired taste I think.

I did, however, enjoy his stand-up show and I was more than genuinely entertained throughout the entire show

"Jim Jefferies: Freedumb" had lots of good jokes. And Jim Jefferies is great at delivering his jokes and punchlines, just as he has a very potent on-stage appearance.

This 2016 show is, for me, one of his better performances. And if you aren't already familiar with the work of Jim Jefferies, then you should definitely start of with watching this show to get into his sick and often twisted sense of humor. But be prepared to travel to some very dark and questionable places.

Well worth the time, money and effort.

Jim Jefferies for President!

Jim Jefferies is really funny. The kinda guy that could be my best friend. Hearing him in this show is like hearing me think outloud. The only thing that is even more funny then this show is the bad reviews on here by the dumb frustrated republicans. They just can't stand that someone is making fun of all their illogical and unjust thinking and way of life. I even wonder why a republican would watch one of his shows? They must be masochists, deep down in their secret basement. Freedumb is just hilarious, made me laugh for the entire show. I do respect the Americans that can take a joke on their country, not all of them are assholes. Like my wife, that is an American, she has a good sense of humor. I will always laugh when people like Jim Jefferies make fun about religious people, gun control, or Donald Trump. I can only applaud him doing that in the USA, and in this case in Nashville. You have to have some balls to make fun of the way of living and thinking in America, aspecially in Nashville. But the audience was laughing and having a good time, and that's a proof that not everybody is a redneck gun wielding Trump lover in Nashville and that's a good thing. Nothing beats sarcasm and Jim Jefferies is the king.

Smart ironic comedy at its best!

[gabrieldinho11 · 10/10 · 6 July 2021]

Top comedy. Irony at its best!

Hopefully you are not sensitive.... This show will make want more :))

He so kills

[diedaily77 · 9/10 · 21 January 2022]

Such a variety of topics, and such killer irreverence. And killer cynicism. Emphasis on kills Kills so bad. Slowly steers from abominable to revelatory. Ends off superbly. This guy is top tier. I say this, even though I'm Canadian.

He ain't no Jim Davidson

[cordenw · 3/10 · 3 August 2020]

When humour is about anger it's hard to be funny and Jim Jefferies fails more than he succeeds in this dragging special.

Look Jim, if you want to do something funny about a politician like Donald Trump, don't turn off half your audience by telling them they are dumb for voting for him. They have just as much right and just as many reasons to vote for him as you do for someone else.

There's a motherlode of material you can use to parody his personal idiosyncrasies so you don't have to insult anybody but him to get your laughs.

For example , I think he's a badly educated buffoon but a crafty and cunning businessman. I like some of the decisions he has made and I happen to think that he's infinitely smarter than Biden (although that's not a difficult level to achieve)....... but does that make me an idiot?

No it just makes me a person with a different opinion!

Jefferies can have some funny moments and he's got a lot of balls to get up and do what he does but he wears off very quickly and I wouldn't ever bother to go and see him in a show or search the streaming channels for another of his specials.

You could learn a lot from Jim Davidson, he knows how to work a touchy issue into something funny .. maybe watch some of his stuff to improve your act.

typical leftist drivel

[M0vieL0ver · 1/10 · 5 July 2016]

The woe so tiresome shtick of claiming "comedian" while trashing half of America.

Another comedian who capitalizes on capitalism by spewing every left wing talking point. Tiresome and old. Boring. Not fresh. Check box, check box, check box. He hit them all before I walked away.

"Oh he's so CLEVER!" the left will say while clapping like seals. Feed me more division and hate! they exclaim.

I'm not particularly left or right in my views, a mix of both, nor particularly religious, but this show ended up being turned off after the comedian who preaches (and I do not use that term lightly) but decides to preach to us on "love not hate", guns, religion, Trump, Fox News, abortion, you name it. Every leftist's talking point he could squeeze into an act before it was turned off in our home. Talk about swimming downstream. The easiest route any "entertainer" could make.

A man who preaches about his atheism, and how religion kills, whilst more people are killed in the US on the streets by atheists than no other (just see Chicago gangs, LA gangs, Baltimore, etc). A man who preaches about love overcoming hate, while spewing hate and dividing further. Hypocrisy on an epic scale from Jefferies. He has to throw in "Fox" just to get the seals clapping. And takes Trump's words out of context and lies to further divide our country.

What an odd show.

There was a time when real comedians would poke fun at everyone, left right center. It didn't matter. Perhaps Jefferies is driven by the exact fear that he portends Trump to project? Fear of no audience because it is his fear-mongering and hate and division that drives his audience to his liberal doors. There is so much material on Hillary, for example, or Libertarians, but his fear keeps him far from that subject. I call cowardice and greed on this. Pick a side, make money.

What a shame. Another so-called hypocrite comedian charlatan. I'm pretty sure Christians, Jews, and Buddhists or whoever would give him a pass, because after all they truly preach love, don't they?

The hypocrite, fear spreading comedian? No thanks. I'll pass next time. I want to laugh, not be preached at.

Just... Really boring

[kjetil_viddish · 1/10 · 5 April 2018]

I watched this for 15 minutes and I havent had a single laught. I dont care about the topics, I just genuinely dont find any of his jokes funny!

And he sounds like he is drunk.

Amazing and awful

[b4blue · 5/10 · 5 July 2016]

Jim is amazing at acting as an idiot, when he is aware of it. He brings it to level 11 and it is pure idiotic poetry. Very enjoyable. We can find some tiny bits of ourselves in it. It doesn't matter if portrayed events are real. We get rid of our frustrations, for lack of courage to be dicks in real life, through his stories. I give him that and hope he stays on the scene for a very long time. The problem with Jim is that he thinks he can be smart too. He thinks his politics and his scientism (yes, it's scientism) are valid. Just like many actors. He then creates fake stories to make his views real and valid. It's one thing to make up an entertaining story and a completely different matter when a political agenda is wrapped in it. This is pure demagogy. Why is he doing this? Cause he is just human, like you and me. He needs to believe things and he needs to convince others that his beliefs are the truth. I honestly could not watch last third of the show as the second was so tainted with all this. I did enjoy the first third very much. I recommend it, of course. Make your own opinion. For Jim, I have one advice: Hang out with Billy Burr and learn.
