I am of the opinion Jim is the best stand-up comic at the moment. This video, however, gives me pause in my belief. Jim has stubbled here it seems. His politics are usually quite topical and humorous. Here, he begins overtly picking on anti-vaxers in ways I simply find not funny. After this, he picks it up some which seems to not overcome the start as the audience seems reserved and removed. No connections early on.
Now, it shifts to death and diarrhea, both funny only under certain circumstances I full well believe Jim is capable of. The hits are about equal with the misses. When Jim equates diarrhea with Mexico it hits a bit of resonance. He underscores it with the term "Montezuma's Revenge" which is vintage Jim.
After over-using the Montezuma thing it still lags when compared to Jim's best moments. I'm half-way through and am listening for nuggets that come too few and too far apart. Let's hope we haven't seen Jim's best. I like the way the man thinks and presents his humorous observations. I like him talking in the third person so much it often is my favorite part. I don't know why Jim seems off here exactly, only that I look forward to a return to form.
