Jimmy Shubert

Animal Instincts finds standup comedian Jimmy Shubert navigating through a series of vulgar skits centering on exploitative sleaze. Highlights include the album-opening "Psychedelic Frogs," a druggy segment about people who lick frogs in hopes of tripping, and "From Democracy to Hypocrisy," a rare non-sexual segment that finds Shubert mercilessly bashing George W. Bush and Al Gore. Shubert's confidence and lucid delivery enhances his humor, making even his most perverse moments hilarious, though many will find his sense of humor offensive. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide
