Tim Dillon: I'm Your Mother

I am honestly in shock how good this was. I was so mad it was only 41 minutes long, he could've went thrice as long and I never would have gotten bored. Anyone who gave this a bad rating must have not actually watched the whole special, or they simply don't like this style of comedy. However, for anyone who likes irreverent comedy i.e. South Park type humor, you will enjoy this. If you're super partisan and love one political party at all costs, this isn't for you. If you're overly Christian or overly liberal, you won't like this. If you think comedy should not go back to the way it was 20+ years ago, this definitely isn't for you. If you prefer 2025 Stephen Colbert to 2007 Stephen Colbert, this certainly isn't for you.

I've seen comedy shows for decades. I'd have been embarrassed had I attended this "show". I would have walked out on him. This guy is not at all funny. His prepared material was not at all funny. He tells these off beat stories that are supposed to be based on reality. He claims to be friends with RFK Jr and Cheryl Hines and that RFK Jr. Wanted him to repeat his poor impression of him.

The two stars was for the few minutes of crowd work that bordered on grin worthy. I watched this so called performance for about 30 minutes. I can't have that time back. I watched and asked myself "What can I be doing instead of watching this garbage?" Don't waste your time.

"I'm Your Mother" is a well-written, heart-breaking special that is dulled by the lack of exaggerated character/POV on stage.

Tim Dillon is a satirist. He uses cynicism, absurd heightening, and extreme character to get his point across.

I watch "the best of Tim Dillon podcast" once a month ish. His stupid rants bring me joy. Largely because Tim is so... grotesque. A caricature. Not a real person. In his bizarre sun-glasses and stylish (hehe) outfit it's "Tim Dillon" is a lot like "Ali G".

In this special Tim is dressed in a hoody and jeans - Tim LOOKS and DELIVERS so down to earth, so earnest, you no longer have a feeling you're watching a character. To me, in "I'm your mother" this over-the-top heightening of his lands part boring, part sad, part mean.

It feels more drama, less comedy. Tragedy of the modern world rather than satire. Give it a watch!

No shade to Tim. He makes me laugh more than anyone. However, many if these jokes seem sophomoric and it's obvious he's can be more clever and just funny in general. Honestly, he is SO GOOD at doing his off the cuff rants on his podcast... it might be more "him" to do a Kill Tony style show, but instead of comedy he gives each selected audience member a minute to talk about various topics that change throughout the night (controversial opinions, traumatic stories, embarrassing moments, illegal actions, etc.

Anyways, love and will always love Tim. Just feel like he's above making trans jokes (nothing wrong with making jokes about trans people, as with any group of people - it's just that EVERY COMEDIAN that isn't clean does trans jokes and it's far from intriguing).

His best talent, in my opinion, comes from his natural speech, on the spot rants and generationally great ability to be engaging, insightful, cynical, and dramatic/hyperbolic as a conversationalist.

I'll watch anything Tim puts out there. I enjoyed the creativity in his other recent show "This it's your Country". I hope he does more projects along that vein.

Fearless comedy is always the best! I will always love people that speak their thoughts without worry of the collective reaction! Why can't we all just appreciate a good laugh and not be offended by everything and make every personal opinion a political message. You miss out on avoiding people for fake premises. And this is ridiculous you have to write so many words so this website accepts your review! How do you expect to get honest reactions!!!!? This is disappointing in so many ways I have to continue this to make my review acceptable.... Ok no one is getting college credits! What is with a stupid word count minimum? Prevents honesty... oh so Hollywood of you!
