Jim Jefferies Skewers Modern Marriage in Netflix Special Two Limb Policy
Netflix’s latest comedy special sees Jim Jefferies dive into hot-button topics like gender, marriage, and divorce, with his signature edge and unapologetic humor.
Jim Jefferies is back, and he’s not holding back. The Australian comedian’s new stand-up special, Jim Jefferies: Two Limb Policy, premiered on Netflix on August 12, 2025. Produced by Netflix, the special showcases Jefferies’ razor-sharp wit as he dismantles societal norms, personal frustrations, and relationship dynamics with fearless candor.
In a clip from the special, Jefferies jokes about global divorce trends, claiming that lesbian marriages top the chart in divorce rates, followed by heterosexual, and finally gay male unions. His comedic reasoning? “Two women, one woman, and no women”, a jab that highlights how he blends shock value with real-world data.
Beneath the laughs, there’s a kernel of truth. UK statistics show that lesbian couples have consistently higher divorce rates than gay male couples. In 2019, for instance, 72% of same-sex divorces involved women. While Jefferies’ logic is pure stand-up, the numbers add an unexpected weight to his punchline.
Two Limb Policy goes beyond divorce jokes. Jefferies also takes aim at straight-guy struggles, acting as a profession, and even tiny mustaches, an eclectic setlist that reflects his long-standing reputation for controversial but thought-provoking material. His act balances vulgarity and insight, walking a fine line few comedians dare to tread.
Known for turning taboo into talking points, Jefferies has carved out a niche on streaming platforms where comedians have more room to challenge the status quo. His return to Netflix reinforces the platform’s commitment to bold, unfiltered comedy, and reminds audiences why his specials continue to spark debate.
While critics haven’t released formal reviews yet, early buzz online suggests Two Limb Policy resonates with long-time fans. Reddit threads point to consistent crowd energy during his live tour, with users praising Jefferies for “staying true to his roots” while updating his commentary for today’s cultural landscape.
Whether you’re a fan of edgy stand-up or curious about the facts behind the jokes, Jim Jefferies: Two Limb Policy offers both entertainment and something to argue about.
