If you were to watch this special never having heard of Tom Segura you'd conclude Tom Segura is not a very funny man. You'd prob turn it off after the first 10 minutes. It's borderline hacky, unnecessary edgy, and leaves you with an impression that Tom is not a very good person(and doesn't know it).
But the special does get better after 18 minutes, there are some funny good-old-Tom stories, he's great at using call-backs.
I think the target audience for this was Tom Segura's super-fans, and if you're one, you'll prob enjoy it: "Sledgehammer" feel like an inside joke - there are multiple references to the universe of Tom's life that only followers would know which I think creates this intimacy/cult following.
Overall, I would not recommend "Sledgehammer" I think watching his "best of" on youtube or listening to podcast is better - which is not WEIRD.
By now Tom has honed in his voice and point of view - so he finds the funny effortlessly. Why those funnies are not in this special I do not know.
