Who cares about theo. Make more lolcow
Theo has completely earned his rise to success. Im just as happy that he didn't let his fame get to his head.
He's the one humble comedian currently. Bobby Lee is so far removed from real society, he has his ex GFS niece pick up after him, Christina and Tom are now elitists, bart kruncher is a retarded drunk (not even funny) and the rest are hacks or losers/money grabbers
@@OFFICERJIMMYUTTP no one cares, cry to your mother.
@@OFFICERJIMMYUTTP go eat a sandwich or something bro...
YES SELLING YOUR SOUL FOR FAME IS SO COOL AND SICK. YOU DEFINITELY KNEW HIM BEFORE HE WAS FAMOUS SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY THAT FAME IS NOT IN HIS HEAD
He underpays his staff and treats them as disposable, do not be fooled by what he wants you to see.
I grew up 20 minutes east of Covington. Everyone was poor, us included and the people were eccentric. You had Cajuns, creoles and people who moved south for jobs. Lots of violence and drug use. I can tell Theo plays for comedy but every story he tells brings me right back to my childhood in southern Louisiana.
Drop a link, if that’s true it’s fucked up.

@@Dmhlcmb I think it’s some kind of bot. Lol It’s weird if you skim the comments you’ll see another account making a similar comment. They’re just spamming one comment and nothing else.
Covington mandeville madisonville abita ect. Isn’t that bad grew up here all my life, definitely isn’t pretty tho
@@Yeetdaddy96 Lacombe.
You mentioned his run on Road Rules and The Challenge, it's worth pointing out with that, he stands out as the only competitor from those shows that nobody had a fight with or bad thing to say about.
👌🏻
Theo Von is so unintentionally hilarious. It’s kinda hard to describe his comedy because he’s so unique. I love his podcast, especially when he has on non comedians. Few of my favorites are Mortician, female truck driver, retired cop, and trash man. Lol Those pods are both hilarious and really interesting.
It's not unintentional
Oh it's very intentional, it's just that it's also very natural.
He's really not that funny. I feel like he got his whole personality from watching Adam Sandler movies.
@@allwoundup3574then you've apparently never watched Adam Sandler or Theo lmao they're nothing alike
He’s just basically the American version of Karl Pilkington.
Theo Von doesn’t fight his demons, his demons run in fear of his genius. He’s the fastest slow thinker of all time.
I know your joking but I can’t even joking call him a slow thinkers. He’s so quick witted. He comes up with the most outlandish yet still on topic and hilarious things you’d never be able to think of in less than a second. He’s also just a great and relatable dude. Probably my favorite comic. Wish I could just dap him up once and give him a hug. The guy needs it
Theo has a vulnerability about him that helps make him appealing to a lot of us.
His descriptive abilities for everyday stuff is hilarious.
Yea a dude with his fame and money saying "hey bro it's all good if you cry, ain't nobody perfect. We're just living life the best we can" makes him more relatable than any other comedian. Just a genuinely nice dude
It's nice seeing someone covered who is genuinely trying his best.
recovered*
@@ericmcdonough6771think he means hes glad toms covered this story, not glad Theos recovered from anything.
hes a really great guy
He lies about everything including his drug addiction which was actually just sometimes doing coke on the weekends. I used to love theos content but the more I watched the more I realized how much he lies to feed his ego and victimize himself
@@toottootfinn9455 sounds like projection. not everyone is as miserable as you.
I really like these positive videos you've been doing, highlighting these awesome people.
Serious? Name another one in the past few months lol

@@OFFICERJIMMYUTTP”So basically, I spend hours online. Shitposting and Trolling.”
Theo reminds me exactly of my best friend who passed away. He was from the same area of Louisiana as well, & always had crazy, hilarious stories. He could come up with the funniest sayings at the drop of a pen. I like watching Theo because it's almost like hearing my friend speak. Same subtype of person, at least.
Speciosa Louisanas
nice
@@curlyb❤w
Theo seems like a genuinely good person. I wish him nothing but the best in life.
What I love most about Theo beyond his wonderful tall tales is how he'll ask a very serious public figure absolutely ridiculous questions. He managed to make like Jordan Peterson by bringing out a more goofy side in him, and in an episode with Neil Degras Tyson out the blue just asked, "Is space gay or straight".
“And be honest with me!” 😂
I’m really loving these new positive Turkey Tom videos. I feel like this style of video has been super entertaining for years, but everyone who makes them tends to just make them about negative things/controversies. Very cool change of pace!
It’s so easy to get good vibes from Theo von, he seems so genuine and he is SO funny I love listening to him
The special education class thing is true. Because kids who spoke only Spanish were often placed in special ed classes in the southwest, or put in that class at least in my state. Especially in the 1980s. Theo Von was also a gospel singer at one point, but he sang well. Beautifully in fact.
Glad it wasn't any drama or anything, got a bit scared when I saw the thumbnail. Theo's such a cool guy
Idk what it is about Theo but the dude just radiates "good energy" if thats a way to put it. Just want him happy and to keep succeeding
theo’s stories are definitely drawn from some reality, i had a kind of “white trash” upbringing in my shithole town, raised in a double wide mobile home with a dad in his 50s… some stories i got are beyond belief. there was this young mom who was obviously slightly mentally disabled, like, on the spectrum.. her daughter was close in age to me, so we’d run around and play… but this mom, she’d come over knocking on our door in the middle of the night to show us that she was part cat. she had like, these halloween contacts that made her look like she had cat eyes, and she’d meow and hiss…
that’s the kind of memory that makes me love theo von so much. the stories are ridiculous & exaggerated if not entirely false, but i’ve known these odd characters personally. my bio dad used to go into the bathroom to snort meth, then come out and command me to play american pie by don mclean and santeria by sublime back to back, go on this whole rant, go back in the bathroom to snort more meth, and repeat. i was 7 years old & it would typically be on a school night. This exact kind of night happened at least 3 times, other times he’d play our beatles CDs in the dead of night, drinking cheap wine straight from the bottle…
Shitty dude, i got adopted by my “step” dad some years later, but i sometimes wonder the kind of charming, hilarious spin Theo would be able to put on my bio dad. Growing up in that kind of environment is mostly fun in the moment, can damage you like hell later on if you don’t see the humor in some situations.
I'm not Theo Von, obviously, but I had the fleeting thought that your dad was determined to instill a love for the musical arts within you. The absurdity of his approach gave me a bit of a chuckle with your story. I'm mostly glad that you made it through alive, and seemingly healthy. I hope you have a good day, and good luck with your search for the twist of humor in the dark moments of life.
@@Capt.Ellis-Dlovely comment. And I concur...with both of your takes. Great thread.
drinking cheap wine from the bottle to the beatles sounds like a vibe
Same here.. white trash upbringing in deep east Texas.. while I’ve grown to just smh and laugh some of my stories catch people off guard.. I get a lot of “ omg really wtf??” Lol
I really appreciate this video. I'm a Theo Von fan. He seems like a likeable guy and his podcast is real and really enjoyable. This video was very informative about Theo's early life, which I didn't know anything about. Especially his early career as a professional contestant on MTV. It also surprised me that he won a lot of them. It showed me that he's very driven. Just a good, hardworking guy.... Or a really good actor.
The craziest thing is he has a persona as a bit of a hillbilly, good-ole-boy. But he's actually he's articulate and very intelligent.
as a guy who lived his first 30 years of life in georgia and raised by a woman from rural Ohio I can tell you many of those hillbilly, good ole boys are some of the smartest and most articulate people you can cross paths with. People just always associate the accent and slang with stupidity which is fair because there are alot of dumbasses in the south but I just don't agree with the rhetoric that if you're southern you must be dumb or racist and possibly both lol. It's why I dig theo so much, he reminds of so many guys I grew up with.
Yeah Ive been suspecting the same of him, thats its a character. I mean, the joke could be on me and thats well known. But I really only saw him from JRE like 2 years ago and I thought he was just a chill Southern guy. But Ive been listening to his podcast every week for the last year or so and you can tell he is fairly intelligent. He slips up every now and then and says some words that no "uneducated hillbilly" would know.
Not talking ill of him, I love him either way and his podcast is probably my current favorite, but yeah I dont think he is stupid. Pretty sure its the exact opposite as you stated.
Theo is so “accidentally funny” so much of the time, it’s impossible to tell if he’s really a comedian or just someone who can’t help but be hilarious 100% of the time.
Bill Burr causing Ethan to go to therapy is absolutely hilarious! 😂
Not really, Bill Burr is a bully and a wanna be roughneck. His specials are good though.
@@caboose22320na he's just a big puss masquerading as such, and his specials are garbage too
@@caboose22320 yes really
Bill is too busy cleaning his wife's boyfriends gunk out her stink pit
@@caboose22320 not his last 2, guy hasnt been funny in almost a decade
theo von is honestly such a great guy love that you're giving him the spotlight!

Theo is a gem that we must cherish. He helped so many while battling his own demons
Actually Joe stumbled between clueless and confused on Theo's first Rogan episode.
It was kind of adorable watching all Theos shenanigans fly right over Joes head. 😂
This is the ONLY turkey Tom video where you can hear his amusement, and admiration for someone he covers.
I feel like that is the hugest compliment a person could possibly receive.
Theo and Shane Gillis are prob my fav recent comedians tbh they're both so down to earth and dont take themselves so serious I love it
Theo Von is honestly my favorite comedian. his delivery, out there jokes, & nonsense rambling thanks. for making a video, i learned a lot of stuff i never heard off from this
After watching about 6 of your videos, I have to say that I LOVE your content! I love Theo and everything that he has become in the past few years, and it was really awesome to see Theo from such an early stage in his career! THANKS TOM!!!
Turkey Tom is the type of guy to spend Christmas working instead of hanging out with his family
Never thought I'd hear cornette brought up in a turkey tom video but id love a full episode of jim
glad this is a positive video, i was scared we were gonna find out something bad about theo
As for the Bill and Theo thing: Bill came up with a vicious circle of comedians. They had personal moments with each other but it was more one on one. Bill went into the podcast with a mindset like "ok Im gonna go in, hes gonna bust my balls Im gonna bust his we're gonna make some entertaining radio for the people". Theo was being silly but not joking the way Bill had anticipated, which is why it seems like he starts to disengage. They just didn't really know what to do with each other.
Stealing your car back is actually kind of common in high crime areas of the U.S. The exact thing I had have to my dad and a lot of people in the shit hole I grew up in. when I was a kid they had a thing called hotwiring and a lot of old cars were easy to hotwire. idk if that's still the case now but it was a thing. I'm willing to bet you could find multiple old stories of people stealing their stolen cars back.
Your Amy Schumer comment at 10:35 had me lmfao xD
I’m happy for Theo and his hard work paying off, he deserves all his success.
He is a trailer treasure
Theo is just one of the most charming guys of all time, I have never been more entertained by anyone else just sitting and talking about nothing and everything
I don't know a lot about the guy, but the fact that he seems really open about flaws and problems, whether they are current or have passed is impressive.
The guy saying Tom Segura's expression in that one clip was "too real to be acting" is hilarious, because shooting people creepy or angry stares for comedic effect is something he does all the time. It's a signature part of his character at this point
Theo deserves all of his success and then some. The guy has gone through a lot and still does, but he doesn't let it define him. He's naturally hilarious, quirky, and has an overall good energy about him that's infectious to those around him. His thought process is one of a genius imo.
Theo isn't the comedian we wanted, but the one we needed...and wanted. Love you Theo.
found you through PKA, great episode btw, and im glad the boys had you on your content is great bro
I didn't like him at first when he first started showing up in my feed. I thought he was a try hard. But the more I watched him, I can see the gears turning in his head. You can see the nuance and he's always trying to come up with something funny. He grew on me. He's like a corrupt version of Norm McDonald.
I’ve been waiting for you specifically to make a video about Theo ty
Theo is definitely in my top 3 of comedians. Dude has it.
tom the kinda guy to say "can't believe they let you in here" when he sees an old friend at a restaurant
You killed it on PKA my man, meshed really well with the boys
I knew Theo from MTV’s Road Rules and The Challenge. Literally watched reruns of a season he was on a couple months ago. Had no idea he’s a comedian now. This isn’t quite as shocking as when I discovered that Mike Mizanin, from Real World New: Back to New York and The Challenge, became a successful pro wrestler as, The Miz, but…it’s up there
yeah same here. I knew him from The Challenge...I also didn't know he was a comedian.
So cool to see you cover Theo! He’s a Top 3 favorite comedian for me, along with Chappelle (the GOAT) and Stavros.
THAT'S WHERE I've seen him before!
Daaaam, it's been driving me crazy ever since I saw or heard of Theo. I used to watch Road Rules all the time back when he was on it, that was when MTV used to still play music videos and was dedicated to music still!
I love your stuff, keep the long form videos coming
Theo Von also become massively popular with Gen Z as clips of him saying out of context things keeps going viral on TikTok.
They don’t know what to make of him because of his offbeat comments but they also find him charming and refreshing because he just says whatever pops up into his head (he’s basically intrusive thoughts winning personified).
So Theo has reached this peak level of popularity where even the youth likes him, which is rare. Despite that Theo doesn’t seem to be changing or letting it get to his head.
I totally hope Theo gets his own Radio station in GTA 6. Imagine driving around Vice City while the Rat King is rambling nonsense 😂
I'm not into podcasts or standup comedy, so I've never heard of Theo. But it's nice to hear a positive story about a guy who seems to be doing a good job at being a kind human.
I’d recommend watching atleast one of his specials. It’s pretty funny stuff for any type of person really
I exclusively listen to turkey tom videos while slaving away in a kitchen. Its my job
Im saving this one specifically for my dishwashing shift tonigh
You could have just said you were a woman.
Real ones know Mitch Jones is the OG rat king.
Theo is one of those dudes that you immediately get along with and is so down to earth. I’m so glad he is where he is and he has earned every bit of it. What a national treasure.
Tom is the type of guy who fights his demons with a pokemon battle
Perfect timing :D I needed a video to edge to
Tbh, about the man without arms who found new ways to attack, this is something that happens when you have isolated disabled people with things like aputations, they learn to utilize their bodies in ways people wouldn't expect, and sometimes become jumpy because they've dealt with people assuming they're weak or easy to take advantage of, causing them to be paranoid or seemingly hot headed.
This video put me on to Theo and he seems really nice. I like that he can be directly insulted and he somehow spins it into a positive experience. Wish I could be that laid back.
1:47 ad skip, your welcome
Love when he puts out ones that are positive / inspirational.
I love how he edges while he records
Tom’s the type of guy to go from Destiny orbitor to legitimate watch on release content. You’re killing it lately dude
seeing clips of theo like fresh outta highschool basically and seeing him say what he says, thats the realest dude who never changed xD makes me believe all the stories instantly
My favorite Theo von moment is him talking to that kid who said he paid a big black kid $3 to mess with his friend and he was now being extorted basically. Theo said you can't make a three dollar brother and expect five dollar behavior lmao
the story about lurch is hilarious , or the kid who got wooden armor for christmas lmao
Me, a new subscriber but I’ve been binging your videos for about a week, seeing that you posted “ F*** yeah turkey Tom!!!!” 😂😂😂
Tom the kinda guy to abruptly break into song and dance when someone mentions berries and cream.
I hope he receives all the GENUINE love, support, recognition, laughter and being able to not live in a survival mode but to actually LIVE his life as he feels. I wish I could give you a hug Theo!!! 🫂✨
tom the type of guy to fly through the air when he smells a pie on a window seal

@@shuenshuenhe's just repeating this comment he saw on other videos anyway
How many times we gone see this comment
Theo is such a sweetie pie. Great Video!
Amazing video Turkey Tom 👍
Theo is the only human being I've ever encountered that is funny 100% of the time.
@@JesterMax24 This reminded me of why soap brands say "kills 99.9% of germs" and not 100%.
I've watched a great deal of videos featuring him, trying to discover what the hype is about and I've yet to hear anything funny out of him. It's almost as if comedy is subjective. 😅
@vamountainman2512 yes you're right I should have said "100% of the time TO ME" sorry you'd couldn't have just assumed that went without needing to be clarified :D
@@JonahUniverse I was just being sill about the fact that I don't find him amusing. Don't go getting all emotional on me bruh.
Y’all both quit being toxic babies. You think acting this way is fine but you’re ruining the world. But go ahead, let’s hear your immature reply about how I’m “soft” or whatever crap you feel you need to expel from yourself. Be a better person, both of ya. Sorry your parents were shit and didn’t teach you that.
Good for Theo. Always a warm presence. Charming, unique, witty, naturally funny, and a good listener.
Bro legit I feel asleep yesterday while watching this cuz your voice relaxing af
Great vid man
Tom the type of guy to call perennial sunning a way of life
Tom is the type of guy who giggles when he pees
As always, amazing content Tommy. As much as I love Bill I remember being pissed the first time I heard that podcast. The combination of Bills ball busting and Theo’s humbleness threw me off the first time.
Theo seems like such a genuine dude.
Theo seems like a genuinely great guy.
There is way too many podcasts out there now that over half of them never really talk about anything it is just noise.
Theo being the 7th most listened podcast in Spotify is awesome
Incredible topic and video ✅
theo von is honestly such a great guy glad you're giving him the spotlight he deserves
And you know he's a great guy how? He actually sounds like a not so great guy, by his own admissions.
I found out 2 years ago that theo managed to hit my number with one of those pranks. He had sent me a picture of a woman’s ass, plugged up and all, with clear whip marks all over it with the caption “hey Jake, it’s Kayla, you ready for round 2?” I thought it was a random mishap until I went to a Vegas comedy club where he confirmed that was one of the texts he would send.
What he didn’t know, is he sent that text in the middle of my 1 year dating anniversary with my now Ex girlfriend.
The joke was worth it in the end
Hey, you know what people don’t do? Come up (make up) a funny story starting with the most unfunny scenario you can possibly think of. You should listen to Theo’s podcast. He retells these stories over and over again in different ways throughout. He’s honed a talent for being funny and uses his actual life experiences as a jumping off place for the jokes. He’s being genuine.
I went into this not knowing who the hell Theo was and I assumed this would be another video exposing shit. Theo has actually earned my respect and I’m going to be seeking out his content. The way he’s willing to admit he’s wrong, reflect back on his actions and admit he should have done things better… that’s rare. So many entertainers refuse to admit they’re wrong or are so full of themselves that, well, they’re so good that they CAN’T be wrong so you must be. Theo is different. Thank you for this video, think I found another personality I’d like to follow.
Theo is willing to admit that his beliefs are wrong. That doesn't mean he's changing those beliefs. It means he's acknowledging that they're harmful but he believes them anyway or that it's not WORTH it to him to change his habit or go out of his way to accomodate. You're new to to Theo - he's not new to comedy. He just says less things that he shouldn't say. He hasn't learned. This is blatantly evident in his guest choices. Think of someone who knows to not call someone a f*g but wants to do it anyway and only does NOT do it because of backlash and not their sense of empathy.
@@mj-np9sy So, by your logic, someone can't have negative thoughts... As humans we can think anything we damn please and you can't shame someone because of what's inside their head. You're literally just thinking too hard about what he's probably thinking. He can THINK about saying niqqer faqqot ch1nk sp00k jiqqaboo sp1ck... hell, he could even say them when he's alone. These words carry no power when not heard by another human. Have a terrible day.
I liked Bill Burr up until that episode. Since that time, I haven’t seen any of his comedy. He was shooting Theo down so much. It angered me. I’m glad Theo took positivity from it.
The last 4 videos I've seen of Bill Burr, he was just mad as hell like he just fell down in the shower. Zero jokes, just indignation.
I watched the episode and i dont think BB really did anything.
What I got from this is, there is way too many podcast out there.
Good job man
i’ve never heard of him at all before a few months ago but i’m glad i did bc he’s so funny
The rat king is my hero. Love the way you question everything he says as either absurdly true or just insane story telling. Keep up the great work. Much love, brother.
He earned and deserves his success. Love Theo
Great video! Keep it up 👍
i grew up poor too so i don’t doubt a lot of theos stories😭 crazy stuff happens in poor areas and it’s funny later on but it’s kinda sucky to grow up in. i also got emancipated earlier this year at 16 bc i wanted to be independent from my parents due to the fact im honestly better off without staying with them..and i also ended up getting pregnant. it can be difficult but ultimately i don’t regret it. but yea i get him frl
How'd you end up getting pregnant? I bet it was the aliens wasn't it? They're all the time coming around poking on things where I live 👽 Be safe out there Kemosabe
Lol rock on!
Don't blame getting pregnant on being poor. That's on you.
@@nedisahonkey statistically speaking those who grow up ghetto and poor are more likely to be teen parents. don’t come for me brother i will find your ass
@@nedisahonkey and i never blamed it on anything lol. no shit it was my fault i got pregnant😭
If you're 35 and shes 17... you can't be a comedian anymore 😂
The dark arts boy! Great deep dive and well researched well done. I love Theo his comedy style is so unique but also entertaining. Also new fan of Tom. Well done. I said well done twice 🤦♂️
Discovered you from your feature on PKA, love the content dude🫡
Tom is the type of guy to engage in shenanigans that would be commonly associated with cartoon characters from the 50s or with men in general who are mild-mannered.

Chris DeLia unironically playing a pedo on workaholics is hilarious
I thought those allegations were proven false and he just banged some adult woman that tried to get paid? I don't remember the aftermath.
I don’t think there’s a single person out there that is like theo…
Kinda feel like he's Ashton Kutcher if Ashton Kutcher grew up poor. And wasn't kind of a moron.
