I've always assumed he was a time traveler from 1943. His job in his old life was narrating cinema news reels on the war effort. Somehow he was transported bodily to 2005 and ever since he has been locked in a dark room eight hours a day watching old sitcoms trying to catch up on current events and pop culture. Someone must let him out every night at 9pm with a freshly pressed suit and point him to the stage for his set.
I agree, she's thinking, "You can't even know how big this is," but is also the woman who watched her once freak out about something silly, like her sandwich being cut wrong or something, and can't believe she's showing this much poise in this situation.
That's why he won an Emmy, ya know, for being entertaining. And because "none of this is prepared material Lucy!" He's just sprouting comedic material. what a genius
@ There's very few comedians who do improv extremely well. The best at it is probably Chappelle, he actually very rarely writes material for his performance's now, because he said it's too easy and he wants to see if he's still got it on a whim, and he nails it. Every time.
I can't be the only one who felt so much for Lucy that I was smiling amiably and nodding when he talking to her like he could somehow see my reaction to his jokes
@@kingayy9267 yes, of course. I was referring to the joke john made about thirteen year olds being the meanest people in the world and that he is terrified of them
Is it weird that I think it's really adorable the way he was talking to Lucy? Like what he was saying wasn't adorable but like his tone with her was cute. He needs to be a father.
Probably because he was talking about how Johnny Cochran was playing with props, not the sheer absurdity of the things people said: that would take you down the Kato Kaelin and Mark Fuhrman rabbitholes.
When I become aware of new John Mulaney content, I ignore every other concern in my life and make it my mission to watch it, making excited yelping noises all the while.
can we just talk about how brave john has been for this 4minutes- talking to a 13year old instead of getting off the stage and getting out of the place and crossing the street- such a brave tall child
this man did one (1) prepared joke in a five minute set and HE STILL KILLED IT. (not to say that he hasn't had this OJ simpson conversation before with himself while he was taking a piss though)
This is such a strange dynamic with Lucy and it's a testament to Mulaney's stagecraft that it works. Usually if a comedian is focusing on one audience member, they're roasting them
@Mike Knight It's alright, I'll cringe for her. Your joke says more about your ignorance than her name. Safiya is an Arabic name given to females... and African warlords were/are all male. Sort of a stupid joke, but at least you found someone as vapid as yourself to laugh at it, cheers~
This is pretty much the exact reason why Mulaney is one of the most adored comedians out there right now. Completely unprepared here, and yet he wins the audience immediately by prying into them, finding the most vulnerable victim and then highlighting that victim with absolute respect and perfectly respectful response 🤣 Such a gem to the comedic world ❤️
I watched The Meltdown and I don't even remember John was on it but I distinctly remember this episode. Is that what him not wearing a suit does? Is a t-shirt and jeans John Mulaney's Clark Kent?
I don't know if I should be focusing on Mulaney talking about how much he loves crime dramas and Robert Durst _again,_ wishing I was Lucy, or staring at his arms.
Conspiracy theory: John Mulaney died and the government replaced him This isn’t the real John This copy doesn’t have feminine hips and he’s wearing a t shirt
Baseball picked the right year to cancel the World Series. And that's coming from a Yankee fan. Edit: The NHL went on strike, too. There was only half a season, but there was a Stanley Cup final.
@@NJGuy1973 wow, born in '96. Like we went through a whole pandemic and didn't cancel championships like that. It's crazy how much this had a hold on America
The way Lucy’s mom was hitting her arm when John was talking to her that gave me ptsd from a deep routed memory and now I’m shaking in fear and idk why
To answer the mustache question: Paul had a car accident, and grew a mustache to hide the resulting scar above his lip, so the other Beatles decided to grow a mustache as well in solidarity.
I love EVERYTHING about this video, though one of my favourite parts is right at the beginning: *John Mulaney walks on stage* "I'M SORRY!!" Like that is the most John Mulaney thing he could've done 😂
Imagine if he killed himself in the Bronco? His fame would have ended there without the huge spectacle of the trial. I doubt anyone would still be talking about him.
Wow..him explaining all that, and playing solely to Lucy in the beginning was incredible. He is so talented and, imo, the greatest and most talented comedian of today's day and age.
Seeing him without a suit is like seeing your teacher on the weekend LMFAO
... naked
Sasha Calderon This is the best comment by far!!😂😂😂😂 So true!
I was going to comment that too, so weird seeing him in a T-shirt lol

It's like seeing a dog walk on its hind legs.
*"I know you all know this I'm telling LUCY"*
Except I bet many people just like me didn't know all this
I am not Lucy
And I'm not 13
@@Loufoley9749 are you blonde and had a blue flower in your hair on the date Mulaney was up there? because if so thats pretty wicked lucy
@@Loufoley9749 lol, not disappointed, I was just curious if you were the lucy in the video
At first it was weird to hear John Mulaney say "young lady" but then I remember he's 36 and also a very old soul
he's not gonna rape us, he's a little boy.
Axerty what the hell weirdo
vic ms That’s a line from his first comedy special.
he was born in the 1930s and immediately became a radio man
He just wants to sit here and feed his birds
"John Mulaney explains the OJ Simpson Trial to a 13 year old for 5 minutes"
now that deserves an emmy
She had to have been born in 2005 too.
It is one of my favorite things in this thing. I have to keep myself from saying, "I know you all know this, I'm telling Lucy" frequently.
The mom continuing to bump Lucy with her arm is one of the best parts of this
'You catching this Lucy?'
I agree, she's thinking, "You can't even know how big this is," but is also the woman who watched her once freak out about something silly, like her sandwich being cut wrong or something, and can't believe she's showing this much poise in this situation.
John: How old are you?
Lucy: 13
John: *shaking in fear* ha ha.. perfect age!
Lucy: You have feminine hips, you high-waisted man
John: THAT'S A THING I'M SENSITIVE ABOUT!
He better cross the street
"Confidence is the best currency!" Maybe if I say that, she'll think that *I'm* confident, and she won't mention my feminine hips.
You guys are the bomb!
I don't get it, why fear?
That's why he won an Emmy, ya know, for being entertaining. And because "none of this is prepared material Lucy!" He's just sprouting comedic material. what a genius
James D it was still funny asf
If you believe this wasn't prepared I've got a bridge to sell you.

I love how as soon as he saw the 13 year old, he specifically talked to her for like 4 minutes, rarely breaking eye contact.
Exposure therapy ❤
If it was anyone besides John Mulaney doing that I'd be concerned
i love how this is mostly just john telling a 13 year old girl about the oj trial
reese a slight sprinkle of him going on about the beatles facial hair but I’m not mad

"Confidence is the biggest currency" say it, you proud Asian American Woman! 💪
HEY LADY I'LL TELL YOU WHEN WE HAVE ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES
A tall child with feminine hips
@@tiredcerulean Get some rest, Tall Child! You can't keep burning the candle at both ends!
notice how everybody remains silent when he drinks water, he demands as much respect as terry from b99
LeoVomend I love this 😂
I honestly thought that when I watched it 😂😂
Being engaged in a show you paid to see doesn't mean respect.. but ok boomer
Imagine if people started talking amongst themselves during 2 seconds of silence during a show they paid to see...
👏🏼👏🏼😂
It's so weird to see John's arms. He's got very grown up arms for a tall child
Stephanie Fabulous comment!
Very lovely lovely ARMS
Stephanie I haven’t laughed this hard in a long while
Well hes an Asian lady so what you expect?
IDK if you've seen the pictures but he's ripped
nothing is more disorienting than casual mulaney
You like jazzzZ
Like Nick Offerman without a moustache
Like an owl without a graduation cap
seeing john mulaney in a t-shirt gives me the same feeling i’d get if i saw him naked, maybe even worse than that
kaya papaya it gets you hot and wet?
S VHousen I didn’t know whether to laugh or gag at this reply but I definitely did a little bit of both
@@SH-zn1dm shes probably underaged, let that sink in creep.
Frank Harrison lmaoo, I never pay attention to pics or names. Thanks tho
Is this what it was like living in the 40s?
I can't be the only one who felt so much for Lucy that I was smiling amiably and nodding when he talking to her like he could somehow see my reaction to his jokes
seeing John Mulaney in a t-shirt is like seeing your teacher outside of class
Ahahahahaha! That made my day!
Wow seeing this comment is like seeing the same comment that someone posted a month before you
"I know you all know this I'm telling Lucy!" god his delivery is just so good
Her: "I'm thirteen"
John Mulaney: * screams like a little girl and runs off stage to hide *
Grown men are able to have innocent conversations with underage girls. Not everyone is a creep.
@@kingayy9267 yes, of course. I was referring to the joke john made about thirteen year olds being the meanest people in the world and that he is terrified of them
In case you're wondering, this video was filmed 4 years ago (thus all the Jinx talk and the lack of a suit).
Quinn Que I knew this looked familiar! I was wondering if I was just having a damn deja vu
One more year...
Why the fuck does he look exactly the same then
Like no extra wrinkles no nothing
Just exactly the fucking same
Is it weird that I think it's really adorable the way he was talking to Lucy? Like what he was saying wasn't adorable but like his tone with her was cute. He needs to be a father.
RedHairedAly YES! I completely agree
Don’t worry. He has basically adopted Pete Davidson
He is a father to lovely petunia
You: This is an on-fire garbage can... *shakes shoulders* ...could be a nursery
we found john mulaneys real estate agent
How did he not tell Lucy about, “if the glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit!” 😂
John's just lucky his mother didn't bring him that glove to try on, just to make sure it was only Diana and her lover that he was to blame for.
Probably because he was talking about how Johnny Cochran was playing with props, not the sheer absurdity of the things people said: that would take you down the Kato Kaelin and Mark Fuhrman rabbitholes.
He just made Lucy aware that the OJ trial existed, he didn't want to overwhelm her with the utter insanity of it all at once
As one does!
When I become aware of new John Mulaney content, I ignore every other concern in my life and make it my mission to watch it, making excited yelping noises all the while.
lmao me
SAME
Everyone has their kink
It may be new to you, but this is from 4-5 years ago and only released on UA-cam by Comedy Central this year.
Look at that man with those feminine hips.
NOOOO that’s the thing he’s sensitive about!
have u seen dem ARMS tho
tall child*
Very accurate
he’s not a man, he’s a tall child!
I just want someone to love me the way white audiences love John mulaney
He is our prophet, and must be protected at all costs
I only like him because he's white.
@@nathanm.8823 we know
:)
I only like him because he is Asian.
Look at that man with those lovely arms.
That high waisted man still has feminine hips.
@@stevietonche lol. Will he ever get rid of it?

I mean, he probably planned most of The Jinx stuff in advance, right?
I love the t-shirt regular look. I feel like I’m there and he’s working out material. Mulaney for the win!
micmasters801 he was! Meltdown was a great room for that
his skin is so beautiful I wasn't prepared for this
Sophie Tinsley LITERALLY
He uses three creams!
This is such a strange dynamic with Lucy and it's a testament to Mulaney's stagecraft that it works. Usually if a comedian is focusing on one audience member, they're roasting them
me during a class report: "None of this is prepared material, Lucy."
I didn’t know john mulaney had arms
your favorite renjun stan omg 😂
not complaining doe
Yeah I thought he was like a Wii character (a Mii) with hands that just float in front of him.
new john mulaney content... I'm in heaven!
This is an episode of The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail from 2015 (S2 E3, I had to look that up) so it's not actually that new xD.
I love how all of his stand up is so universal and yet so specific
So jealous of Lucy...
@Mike Knight It's been a long time since I've audibly laughed at a comment.. good one lmao
@Mike Knight It's alright, I'll cringe for her. Your joke says more about your ignorance than her name. Safiya is an Arabic name given to females... and African warlords were/are all male. Sort of a stupid joke, but at least you found someone as vapid as yourself to laugh at it, cheers~
@Mike Knight I'm just having fun~
@Mike Knight Glad to see you two have sorted things, that was a real emotional rollercoaster...
@Mike Knight Buddy, all I did was have an awesome Arabic/African warlord name😂
I lose it when he says "none of this is prepared material, Lucy". Every time.
This is somehow the greatest 5 minutes of stand up ever. Also, look how handsome he is here!
Sean Cook Ever, of the most recent 10 minutes of your life.
i like how lucy is trying to demonstrate that she processing the information

Completely unprepared here, and yet he wins the audience immediately by prying into them, finding the most vulnerable victim and then highlighting that victim with absolute respect and perfectly respectful response 🤣 Such a gem to the comedic world ❤️
imagine not only seeing john mulaney live but having him essentially have a conversation with you
I love how John makes her apart of the show. Such a good dude she’ll remember that forever. He’s such a good man.

One of the best storytellers of all-time! He could make any topic interesting. He has a fresh and unique presence.
Um why does John Mulaney look jacked af?!
You guys should reupload it, titled, "John Mulaney says..." more people would click on it.
"John Mulaney explains the O.J. Simpson trial to a 13 year old audience member" imo.
The Beatles, Friends and OJ's trial, poor Lucy has never been more out of the loop than in this stand up
He's kind of ripped, in the way a pound asian American women would be
John is the best at doing stand-up comedy of anybody working today, maybe as good as anyone I've ever seen.
Conspiracy theory: John Mulaney died and the government replaced him
This isn’t the real John
This copy doesn’t have feminine hips and he’s wearing a t shirt
Kate Gibson he has them removed for this set
Him saying “Lucy” after like every three words is amazing
Love seeing good representation of Asian American woman
'this guy does not have an emmy. he's dead'
well, there you have it. the only two states of being.
i am literally crying listening to this at work. unbelievable how hilarious and off the cuff he is.
John and Lucy had a great set!
I love him laughing at his own jokes 😂
Finally, John Mulaney material I haven't seen 49 times
God he's HOT
I concur
"Did you see the jinx young girl" is my favorite quote
I've been staring at his arms the whole time I forgot to actually listen
"From 94 to 95 you didn't have to watch any other TV whatsoever"... it's so true
And it lasted even longer than that, there was so, so much commentary

@@TrollPriestZandum what ya mean?
TrollPriestZandum she was the producer on the show, literally part of her job
I'm just laughing at the thought of Jennifer Aniston with a mustache. 😂
i've already heard the beatles observation and i still laughed
Seeing him laugh makes me happy. His darn smile 😀
“Jazz Forever” is fucking sending me
His laugh at 1:37 gives me so much life
That was great, he made her day and she definitely doesn't lack in confidence.
Seeing mulaney in a T-shirt really puts his “tall child” joke in perspective
Where’s the suit?!?!
Seeing him without a suit is more jarring than seeing him with an unexplained moustache.
i’m a simply girl. i see john mulaney and i click
His laugh warms heart. It's amazing
Just came here after hearing OJ Simpson died
I don’t know why the sudden switch from talking about the O.J. Simpson trial to talking about the Beatles all growing mustaches just threw me 🤣
“I’m not telling you, I’m telling Lucy!”
The way Lucy’s mom was hitting her arm when John was talking to her that gave me ptsd from a deep routed memory and now I’m shaking in fear and idk why
He is perfect example of a guy who doesnt need huge muscles and he is still ridicilously hot.
Bro he did a full section of his stand up set with unprepared material what a miracle of a dude I adore him lol
john mulaney not wearing a suit makes him look at least a decade younger
The OJ reflection, was my fav bit. Lucy hopefully appreciated this.
I am in love with his laugh
To answer the mustache question: Paul had a car accident, and grew a mustache to hide the resulting scar above his lip, so the other Beatles decided to grow a mustache as well in solidarity.
Is he depressed?
Where is his tie?
Where is his suit?
Who is this?
That 13 year old is a friend of mine and this is a joy to watch.
I'm okay with John Mulaney never having his own kids, but I sure do love watching him interact with kids.
seeing this has made me realize how badly i need a new john mulaney special
no one:
john mulaney: they all had mustache
Me, a whisper: Oh my God, they all had mustache
I love EVERYTHING about this video, though one of my favourite parts is right at the beginning:
*John Mulaney walks on stage* "I'M SORRY!!"
Like that is the most John Mulaney thing he could've done 😂
I was in college. I watched every moment of that trial right from the Bronco chase.
Imagine if he killed himself in the Bronco? His fame would have ended there without the huge spectacle of the trial. I doubt anyone would still be talking about him.
I just watched all of “The Jinx” because of this bit. Totally worth it. Thanks John
When this video popped up in my recommended I wasn't sure if it was from yesterday or ten years ago
I didn't know John Mulaney could go outside without a suit. His forearms are a revelation.
i am so damn jealous of Lucy rn it’s unREAL 😂😂 what i wouldn’t give to be her lmaoo
Even when the material isn't polished and off-the-cuff, it's still f**king GOLD!!!
John Mulaney in a snug t-shirt -- woof!
Wow..him explaining all that, and playing solely to Lucy in the beginning was incredible. He is so talented and, imo, the greatest and most talented comedian of today's day and age.
mulaney's working on those zach levi arms am i right?
