Bruer himself, he talks about it at the beginning of his set, about how what he really wants to be is a rockstar because he thinks they're way cooler than comedians. So he is trying to make his standup special a rock concert at the same time.Funny premise, but yeah, to your point, idk how well it works lol, definitely a little off putting. Interesting idea though, I'll give it that.
Dude it was part of the show back then. He's not trying to upstage anyone. Jim Breuer liked it when the band would get involved. Yall are so stupid lmao
@@el34glo59 the annoying guitar thats playing stupid and not even good riffs over his talking, and who even screws up a few times is all part of the show. if he got paid for that its amazing.
Saw a show he did in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ back in ‘05 (?)…..and i ran into him in Newark Airport last yr and i chatted with him for a few minutes, he remembered the show…cool dude
@@Huelogy Yeah, I sort of agree. Breuer is sort of a one-trick pony. Not bad for an open-Mike night at the local comedy club for sure. But he’s no true professional
@@deezboyz4157By definition, Jim’s a professional lol. He gets PAID to do stand up, and has made a living doing it for over 30 years now. This video itself is from a huge comedy special he did, for Comedy Central. It’s one thing to not like his comedy, but come man, lol.
@@OhJaniceWhyOhWhy His name is spelt Travelin'Ben and not TravelinBen. Thought I would just point that out since you're crying about him spelling a name wrong! 🤣
@@JOEMAMMADRINK40Z obviously didn't catch any on the episodes featuring the Joe Pesci Show. Or the dozens upon dozens of other skits he appeared in. But you are entitled to your opinion. And yes, Goat Boy was definitely not his finest hour.
Bad writing on SNL... I never thought he had talent until I saw his standup. he is funny as hell and I think they missed taking advantage of this talent. His stomach is the bouncer is one of the best skits
I'm not an fan of his comedy but hes the one that does the best Pesci impression period. About his story on how he met Jack Nicholson. When you compare this bit to Dave Chappelle's way of recounting the 4 times he met O.J. Simpson shows why he's considered the GOAT.
@@krislambert6625 Its more a rift than music to be honest. But I said music as an example. I agree that its not something id listen either but I was talking about dhe setting.. the principle of it all.
FUN FACT: The guitar guy is a roadie for the band "Schmoolies Stooges" that played the theater the night before Breuer. He got so wrecked on Angel Dust that he never left the stage after testing the equipment and Jim was too good of a guy to bring down his high
Jim Breuer is a legend. Still funny to this day and very wise, ironically. I remember seeing Half Baked as a kid, probably way too young. Thought he was hilarious but thought he was playing a character. I think he was actually playing a slightly exaggerated version of himself lol
His latest shit is so unfunny I literally cringe. All it is is "LOL liberals be like this, masks are dumb. Mainstream media, am I right?" dude is a shell of his former self
@@mohawkjones4270 No, because he believes celebrities eat baby's blood and that the election was stolen from Donald Trump despite evidence to the contrary. By the way, if you didn't get vaccinated, be smart and go get one - it's proven science.
I first saw Jim Breuer at an audition for the Uptown Comedy Club up in Harlem. He was hilarious and got a standing 'O' for his audition set. Talented dude.
I remember this special when I was like 14 or 15, its been around a while, I'm 36 now. It was the first standup I truly enjoyed and was cracking up at.
Best Comedian..... he gave me a high five in Orange Park Florida at the comedy club my best friend DJ bought us front stage tickets... it was so cool... love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jim Breuer should do an impersonation of Jim Carrey and Sylvester Stallone. Now that would be very hilarious 😂😆. The crowd would probably be in tears 😭😅.
@@LiverAndOnions69 I’m quite shocked you don’t know Chris Farley. He was a SNL member along with David Spade. Unfortunately he died many years ago of an overdose. UA-cam Farley SNL skit - inspirational speaker down the river. It’s Hilarious.
@@gotaigo Yea I remember that day: it was said that he wanted to die the same way, same age that John Belushi, his idol did. Totally sad. I even think David Spade wouldn’t even go to Chris’s funeral bc he was too distraught. (Please correct me if I have any of this info wrong 😑!)
This guy changed his dad's shitty diapers and cared for him when he was dieing. That's all you need to know about this dude! He tells a fantastic story about it on the Stern show from back in the day,the good Stern,lol.
I didn't get the guitar backing at first, but it worked as I kept listening, and reminded me of a time my older brother (drummer) and I (bass guitar) were asked to accompany a small black church that was having a special event. The pastor encouraged us to play as he got into it. We looked at each other like "whaaaat??" - cause we had never done that in a church before. At one point, I dredged up part of a lick from Led Zeppelin, and my brother just shook his head. I thought it worked, but he thought we might get tossed.
Remember watching him Friday nights when Comedy Central (used to be good) and did Standup until early in the morning. Always loved his little stoner giggle
There are probably tens of thousands of vids of comedians with no musicians on the set. Mr. Breuer rocks! And he is definitely not a cookie cutter comedy personality.
Someone tell the dude on guitar to giveit a rest and be quiet.
Exactly what I was thinking,what an arse,would have been funny if he walked over,took it off him & smashed it to bits mate.
Like no shit irritating as fuck
Better him than the drummer. 😆
was thinking the same
Yeah what the hell, that’s friggin rude
The Jack impersonation is solid, but the Pesci impersonation is god-tier
I've seen many much better Nicholson impressions, but I agree about the Pesci. Wish it hadn't been so brief.
@@dawoool Yeah, I was thinking the same.
He sucks at doing Nicholson..
@@dawoool I said his Jack was solid... not elite or legendary. His Pesci, on the other hand, is probably the best in the business
@@leostawicki7283 check your ears. You probably have shit in them. His Nicholson was awesome.
This is the first time in my life I've seen a band just start playing random music during a comedy set.

Now that's comedy 😅

Well, he can't do an impression of Metallica or ACDC without a guitar.

Didn't bother me one bit. Maybe look into adhd meds
Legend has it that to this day, guitar dude is interrupting comedy monologues
Half way through this video I decided to read this comment. =(
it just seems impoosiburu he chose to so blithely play that horrible blues lick at such a volume
Friggin Russian
I watched this about 3 years ago...guitar player still pisses me off...
It was rehearsed. It's supposed to build the suspense.
Could never get over his Joe Pesci impersonation!…dead on a Million 💯
You like that? Listen to THIS: "Funny? Funny, how? What the fuck is so funny about me?" Pretty good, huh?
@@shuroom57 fucking spot on! Its uncanny how you sounded just like Joe. 😆
His Pesci is great but his AC/DC his better.
Not even close to Nicholson!
Yes I knew who Joe pesci was after he did it whilst not knowing what his name was
I play guitar. Never in 100 years would I think of trying to upstage a comedian
Dude it was part of the show back then. He's not trying to upstage anyone. Jim Breuer liked it when the band would get involved. Yall are so stupid lmao
Means you're not a real guitarist

Hands down best Pesci impression of all time.
Check out his bit on This is not happening sears bombing. Even better
Definitely
Whatever.. whatever..
Lol everyone dying to hear a Joe Pesci impression
Yes!!! Nailed it
The guitar 🎸 playing killled the vibe 🥹
I can only describe that Pesci impersonation as dead-on balls accurate.
Do you have to?
Calibrated torque wrench accurate!
Jim Breur is hilarious. My favorite role of his was in "Half Baked" with Dave Chappelle. Classic.
In order to understand killer the dog
You have to understand who killer the dog was
Fully man!
I was surprised to find out he wasn't a stoner or stoned during most of the film. 😂
Considering that was his most famous role it's not hard to understand why.
There are much better people to be associated with than Chappelle.
I’ve never seen someone look so stoned even when they’re not stoned.
So he WASN’T stoned???????
@@allgood6754 Oh. He was stoned alright! Jacked on cocaine. Guaranteed.

I KNOW!! I do not understand that either, he, out of all best of the best comedians is top 5.
He was far funnier than anyone else on SNL in the late '90s, other than Norm.
Because he didn't sell his soul

He was also great in the Azrael skits as Chris Katan's older, jock brother.
I must have been living under a damn rock to miss this guy. Joe Pessi was dead nuts and Jack was perfect. I would pay big bucks to see him !
why? because he made his voice sound like someone else's voice? wouldn't you rather see the actual person, and not the guy imitating him?

Great fuckin call n3d. U got the door?? Jaaaa
He's really good at impressions. He was funny in half baked too.

Come on, ambiance.
Chill out Will. You can't slap everyone.

He was doing what Breuer paid him to do. It was part on the act. Jim wrote it into the script.

This guy was hilarious on Half Baked.
Who's coming with me mannnn
And some funyuns.........yeah funyuns!

I know there have been rumors circulating that Dave Chappell was wanting to make a sequel. I'd like a Second half baked movie with the original cast.
But did you see it... while on weeeed?,?
“Well, ya got your cameras! Start snapping!” 😎

Jack was great 👍
Imo, he did both well
Completely agree.
The guitarist can't keep his hands off the guitar until this dude finishes his stint. Its a sickness
It's ambient background playing....Breuer has all of that planned with his band. You're an amazing tabla player btw.
