Comedy and Humor

That channel probably represents half of my recommended videos when I log on to the YT home page...

I love that the 'Norm destroys OJ' is a two-part series...

[eddy]

why did Norm's youtube show get taken down?

[dodint]

It moved to Netflix. It's not very good, though.

[eddy]

I liked the Netflix show, but the YouTube show was great, are those episodes on Netflix?

[dodint]

Negative.

It was toned down to a degree, but I liked the Netflix show.

I'm in, 10 rows back and on the aisle.

Perks of being single is that those one off seats are easier to purchase.

Norm’s YouTube show went down the shitter after he started to exclusively book guests who haven’t been popular in 10 years, minimum. That first season though...legendary.

That should be a good show, Burr and Wood Jr. alone are hilarious.

Saw Wayne Brady last night, who brought along Jonathan Mangum (Whose Line, Let’s Make a Deal). It was one of the best comedy shows (improv) that I’ve ever seen live. Wayne Brady is just phenomenal.

Did you have his money?

Anthony Jeselnik has a new Netflix special (Fire in the Maternity Ward). And it's good.

I don't generally like one-liner stand ups, and I still don't fully see the need to "go dark for the sake of being dark", but Jeselnik is I guess one of my guilty pleasures. He truly mastered his craft. The jokes are well-constructed, and the delivery - especially if you have any experience with public speaking - is awesome. (It's interesting to see his "evolution" from the past specials. By now everybody knows that his punchlines will be twisted, so he cleverly slowed his delivery so that - my interpretation - his audience can guess what the punchline would be.)

Anyway, while there are no grand slam home runs like "the wedding photographer who only takes selfies" in the new special, the ending long bit on taking the friend to an abortion clinic was "classic Jeselnik".

[mikey]

Jeselnik is one of my favorite comedians...his delivery is unreal. I've practiced it to see if I could ever pull it off, because I like dark humor a lot...but I really can't get it down despite having a fairly deep voice...it's tough. I've gotten a few other comedians that I like down and even use them to tell some certain stories when I'm out with friends, but Jeselnik is tough to master for me...I talk too fast, I'm too amped up to be him haha

[NTP66]

Same here - love Jeselnik. I downloaded the Netflix special a few days ago, but have yet to watch it.

[Dickie Dunn]

That it has yet to be mentioned that Jeselnik is a graduate of Upper St. Clair highlights a failure on behalf of his marketing team. If he would lean into being a yinzer just a bit harder he could play sold out shows at the Palace Theater and Monroeville Convention Center for the next 20 years like Billy Gardell.

I assumed that this was common knowledge? I also like Billy Gardell, FWIW.

I'm 5 back on the aisle as well. I think it's sold out?

[iamjs]

There are exactly 18 tickets left in the lower level, but the floor is sold out.

Closest you're gonna get to the stage is section 111, last row on the aisle. If you're looking for a pair, you're gonna be all the way back in 209-210 and 212-213.

[mac5155]

I'm not opposed to selling my tix. Lol

[dodint]

Watched the special tonight. Not really my thing but I laughed a few times. I share his ethos but the delivery is too disjointed for me to really get into it.
