The special got special attention because Tom made fun of not being able to use a derogative term for special/disabled people. I'm not repeating the word that starts with a "R" just in case people reading this flag the review because of that, but you surely know what I mean. Now whatever your stance on the use of the word is, will kind of define if you are open to Toms comedy. Or even if you feel this is comedy.The special in itself is funny (again eye of the beholder), but it's not classic material. I generally like Tom, have seen him on a couple of talk shows and I like that he dares to not hold back any punches. So if you are easily offended, and I know I'm stressing that point, but I just want to make sure that you are not going to watch it ... if you are for obvious reasons, if you are not, don't expect it to be disgraceful either (well at times obviously). Neat package and good jokes
People with Down Syndrome are not the stupid cardboard cutouts that Tom Segura abuses in this show. Maybe if Tom Segura and the producers of "Disgraceful" got to know a few people with DS, they would find that his "joke" is abusive and hurtful. People with DS are athletes, models, and actors. They run businesses, volunteer, and participate in their communities. Society is just beginning to realize the gifts of people with DS and with other developmental disabilities. The last thing we need is someone like Mr. Segura disparaging them. His statements about people with Down Syndrome are pure bigotry.
If you enjoy humor that isn't witty, or clever I guess this is for you. This isn't funny, it's just bashing of other people. If he was humorous and his delivery was good, then maybe it would be funny, but he comes off crude and mean, and his delivery makes him sound like he's a terrible human being in real life too. Don't waste your time.
I am a fan of many comedians who are not politically correct, but when a joke was made about Down Syndrome on this show, they took it a step too far. There's no reason to single out a community of amazing people and offend them in this way. Feeling, living, human beings with Down Syndrome should not be belittled; Tom Segura and Netflix are making money at their expense, and that is sincerely morally corrupt. Comedians can be funny without belittling a whole community of people, their families, and loved ones. I suggest Netflix find better comedians to bankroll.
