    Theo really is a comedic genius…he makes it seem like he’s stupid or doesn’t know what’s going on, but it’s all for the bit. Every single thing he says and does is to make the situation as funny as it can be, even when it requires that he makes himself look dumb.
    Other comedians may do that at times, but no other comedian does it so dutifully without needing to say “guys, I’m not actually dumb, I’m just trying to be funny.”

      It’s all about the timing for me. You can tell he knows when to pull the “dumb” pause or trip on the word he looking for. Most people listening think of the punch line then, address it is funny and in turn feel smart about comedy. Then he hits with something completely wild and way out of the box.

He was completely genuine and curious about myself and the group of people I was with (a water polo team). It is an awesome memory I have and am thankful for. An authentic dude through and through.

      @@samsherrill8316 yeah! I work for a tour company, I had a college water polo team I was taking around Ireland. We were at Trinity College and I turned around and Theo was like twenty feet away from me looking at the same building we were just coming out of, the Trinity Library. I was like 'Theo Von??' he said 'sup dude'. He had two or three homies with him, I asked if he was doing shows, and the previous night had been his last one so I didn't get to see him perform.
      He asked what was in the building and I told him a little bit about the Book of Kells. He asked about the team, and was like **insert Theo voice** 'so y'all out here splish splashin' around then huh'.😅
      I asked him for a photo and he graciously took one with me. Talked for maybe five min max.
      No one else in my group knew him and thought I had ran into someone I knew personally. a couple guys did know who he was once I told them. It was a neat interaction.
      I saw Tracy Morgan in Times square on the street once getting in to his Ferrari but he didn't want to talk or take photos, which is totally understandable, especially in that hectic environment.

    I have so much time for Theo. There's things he's said during his more reflective and motivational times and they've impacted me so much. Genuinely made me a better at being a person in the world.
    Then he goes and drops some of the best comedy going.
    He's good people.

Like it made me realize that there isn’t really anyone famous from Louisiana that I could relate to outside of Theo. I know of a lot of singers, actors, athletes, and just famous people in general, but I had never felt connected to them as much as I do to Theo

    You can really see Theo's intelligence when he describes complex things in simple, almost reductive, ways. He bridges gaps in his knowledge when talking to people speaking about topics he doesn't have any contextual awareness of through the use of similes and anecdotes. A very interesting chap.

  • @anabltc

    Noticed two things about him that I really like. First, he hardly ever talks from a point of knowing something more than the person he's talking to. He's never "worldly", never a hint of arrogance or superiority about him, and hardly any irony. Almost childlike. It hit me when I saw him on Triggernometry. Foster and Kisin are fun, but completely other mindset. It seemed like they didn't really know how to approach Theo, and he looked genuinely uncomfortable. Idk how much of it is an act tho. I see that similar quality in Pete Davidson's act, but for Theo, it's the main thing.
    Second, I can't remember him saying anything nasty or disdainful about anybody. It's comedy and he could get away with a lot, but, for example, never heard him say anything provocative or disrespectful abt women (which is normally a comedy staple and we mostly don't care). So yeah, Theo is something else

      That triggernometry interview is my least favorite ever. For some reason it felt like they were tryna get him in a “gotcha!” Moment. The part where Theo starts to check him self out in the mirror is what explained it all. They perceived themselves as better than him. The looks they gave him the questions, the comments. He kept being himself and he could tell they didn’t like it.

    Been enjoying Theo's comedy and podcast for several years. What I love is he'll have non comedian non famous people on his pod like a regular truck driver, plumber or mortician. Just regular ass people where it's still funny but you also get a slice of life that you'd probably never know about. If you wanna find some of the funniest shit - check out anything Theo does with Bobby Lee, they are a hilarious duo.
