Jim Jefferies: I Swear to God Trailers

Jim Jefferies: I Swear to God: The easily offended might do best to avoid Jim Jefferies’ raunchy, rude humor (or at least imbibe the two-drink minimum beforehand), but the Australian-born comedian provides plenty of laughs for everyone else in this HBO special. In I Swear to God, Jefferies continues his patented brand of comedy that once got him punched by an audience member, discussing the idiocy of no-smoking signs, sluts vs. studs, and his father’s Holocaust jokes.

Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen
SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Paul Magne Haakonsen 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.
pablocabron 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
geesuz I am watching this right now on HBO, and I haven't laughed once. It's not that it's offensive; it's that this man is blindingly unfunny. I don't care who a comic insults if there is an actual joke behind it ...somewhere. I love Louis CK, Chris Rock (misogynist, yet damn funny), The late greats George Carlin, Bill Hicks and Richard Pryor.... Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, Maria Bamford, David Cross, Margaret Cho, Dana Gould, Jimmy Carr, Dylan Moran, ..all can be as insulting, arrogant and offensive as they please. Because they have the jokes to back it all up.No one cares if a joke is PC or not. We just need a comedian to be funny. He needs to stop hiding behind outrageousness and write an actual joke.Be funnier
Urantia While watching this rented DVD, it didn't take me too long to realize that this comedian is an atheist who was openly declaring his personal belief that he is right and everyone else is wrong about there being no God (despite the fact that the non-existence of God has yet to be proved). Perhaps I should have tried to practice a little bit of tolerance and overlook a view that I respectfully disagree with in the hopes of experiencing the desired response of laughter to something else he may have said (on a different topic, of course). But I didn't. His anti-God remarks became the elephant in the room that I simply could not ignore.
