I has the fortunate opportunity to meet him and see his act in Las Vegas about a year before his death. He was one of the most gracious, appreciating people I'd ever met. And he had me laughing so hard the person next to me felt the need to ask me to "chill out" -- which John saw on stage, pointed out the guy, and told him if he were laughing my laughing wouldn't have bothered him LOL
My dad saw John playing Craps in Vegas and went up to him and thanked him for his work. John offered my dad his autograph to which my dad said “Oh Nay Nay. Just wanted to say Hi”. John was so touched that he gave my dad a hug.
I go to a culinary school up in New York that has its roots in French cuisine. Halfway through my first semester I was a little worn out from eating campus food, didn’t have a car, and didn’t know the area that well. After bringing it up with my friends multiple times that week, a mutual friend of ours that had already heard this multiple times said “Well my favorite deli is 5-10 minutes away, you wanna go get something after class?” I couldn’t help it, the first thing that came to my mind was this John Pinette quote and I screamed it at him. Our whole group died laughing.
Side note he said he was eating alot of pommes frite and omelets for 6 weeks and pommes frite are french fries so he ate French fries and omelets for 6 weeks straight
Indeed he is 😁 It is "Eh Cumpari", an old Sicilian song which is also featured in The Godfather 3, in the scene of the Corleone family dinner party, where Joey Zaza shows up
When he was talking about the Italian restaurant, in my mind I flashed on a picture of the stereotypical Italian grandmother in the kitchen checking out a pot of something on the stove that was giving off a wonderful aroma. You lose your appetite because of that aroma. Not that the aroma turns you off of eating, but just the aroma fills you.
I first heard his "Sono affamato" bit on Dr Katz and have always remembered it. Just thought of it randomly for whatever reason and had to look it up. What a funny guy!
I had the pleasure of seeing Pinette live in CA about a year or so before he died. I can't remember his jokes now but I remember laughing so hard and so long I legit thought I was going to die. RIP
I think you would fully appreciate it, just by fasting for a day and a half, and then eating dinner at the best Italian restaurant you know of. This will be the most delicious meal of your life, and you will be singing like John, LOL!
I got to see him at a comedy club in Ybor City, FL one night back in 2010 & I tell you what you would think I was crying I was laughing so hard , I still miss him
I showed this to my mom when I went to visit her for the holidays. For the entire two weeks I was there, we kept randomly doing the "'EYY LOOK AT YOU!" XD
Actually, in the latter years of his life, he lost a lot of that weight through diet and exercise. There is a UA-cam video where he does an interview on a radio station a few weeks before his death. He says in the interview that he lost over 200 pounds. He wasn't exactly slim and svelte in the interview, but at least he wasn't morbidly obese.
His material was great but his timing...the pause after "he's dead pass that over here ........I always eat when I'm sad.." I've watched it at least ten times, know it's coming and still laugh. RIP. He was great.
Great memories of my Mother's house on Christmas Eve. We would start eating around 3 in the afternoon then around midnight out came the sausage and peppers.
My chiropractor showed me after working on me. I laughed so hard I ran out of breath and it hurt my chest. I couldn’t laugh...if I breathed i would just laugh it out.
John RIP but I bet you are enjoying more Italian food in Heaven than you ever had on earth. Can you just picture all of the lil old Italian women cooking for John and friends. OK now picture HIM listening to JOhn comic routine and then breaking bread and sopping up the gravy *pasta sauce One of the cleanest and funniest comic ever given to us for such a short while. Thanks to all on UA-cam who keep John and so many great comics alive for the next generation.
I’m in Italy right now feeling extremely bloated after eating a full plate of pappardelle with boar ragu, cheese, apples, honey, a bottle of wine, and two pounds of bistecca alla Fiorentina…I feel this on a primal level.
Such a huge waste of talent. They didn't even let him speak. But I suppose when you're ten times funnier than the star of the show, you don't get to say anything.
I loved the brutal honesty that he started this bit with .. calling out the outright dishonesty of French people who try to avoid being helpful and courteous to tourists.
I'm going to an Italian place on Sunday where they start by serving greens, beans, angel hair pasta, bread... before you order. This is getting me ready...
If you've ever eaten with an Italian or Hispanic family everything from 4:34 is spot on. No lies detected 😂. "Get back here. What happened to feed me I'm hungry and I'm dying of hunger?!"
When he starts singing is a whole vibe. Genius at work
I'd have paid to just hear him sing in Italian and clap along
what song is that
@@randomperson7483 not sure of you found out, but its Hey Gumbaree. Bunch of different people have sung it like Lou Monte.
@@ssslayer21I was wondering what song that was. Thank you!
Him wiping the tears away from his eyes always kills me 😂

awesome story! he had me in stitches here, italian restauraunt!!
Shannon Woodworth That's awesome!
you could have turned to him and told him whats a matter! You don't like it!
I had tickets to see him at the orleans resort -but alas it was not meant to be. Rip
My dad saw John playing Craps in Vegas and went up to him and thanked him for his work. John offered my dad his autograph to which my dad said “Oh Nay Nay. Just wanted to say Hi”. John was so touched that he gave my dad a hug.
The wrong people die.
RIP John Pinette.
The wrong people die, too soon and those truly deserving not soon enough. Fixed it for Srithor.
They meant to get PETA
No. Fat unhealthy comedians die.... Young...
@@greenninja1935 and the rest of Netflix comedians release dogshit lmao...
@Sterling Archer pharmaceuticals.... He overdosed on his own prescription drugs
I'M EATING POMME FRITES AND WE'RE DOWN THE STREET FROM THE MOTHERLAND!?
Favorite line.

Lmaooooooo
...yes why don't we do that.
2:04 Is it just me, or does anyone else see John singing this while driving from France to Italy? 😂
Someone needs to animate that!!!
Indeed he is 😁
It is "Eh Cumpari", an old Sicilian song which is also featured in The Godfather 3, in the scene of the Corleone family dinner party, where Joey Zaza shows up
glad i was not the only one thinking the same thing.
Oh i would have loved cooking for John....
Hahha … nice one matey, funny - and yes I can too!!
I imagine it while he's running lmao
Only the Motherland can get him going that fast.
Self-deprecating humor is a rare gift. This man is the master
Rodney Dangerfield.
Proof that humor is a high art form.

Obviously not Italian
Lol @@sifusays9242
This is one of the greatest comedy sets ever recorded, and anyone who disagrees with that considers salad a "food".
Agreed
Salad is a promissory note saying that food will arrive soon.
@@ianfinrir8724 Such a great line :)
As a fat guy, I'm more with Ralphie May on this: Salads are delicious.
I agree but I like a good salad
I love this guy! I've never laughed so hard as a kid listening to his Chinese food buffet routine.
I think that was Louise Anderson
@@kkinva68 nope it was Pinette
I know I saying that stuff at work for weeks. His stuff is great!
@@kkinva68 Louie
YOU BE HERE FOAH HOWAH!
I love this man. God bless him for the joy and laughter he brought us
To this day, I howl in laughter EVERY TIME I see this!! God Bless John Pinette, R.I.P.
"We going feed you till you explode!"😂😂😂😂😂
"All over the wall"
True story
anyone visiting Italy knows its true! :)
2022 and this is still one of the best bits of all time. Miss watching this guy.
I first heard his "Sono affamato" bit on Dr Katz and have always remembered it. Just thought of it randomly for whatever reason and had to look it up. What a funny guy!
now that's a blast from the obscure past. Where many of us first "met" H. Jon Benjamin
I had the pleasure of seeing Pinette live in CA about a year or so before he died. I can't remember his jokes now but I remember laughing so hard and so long I legit thought I was going to die. RIP
This guy is right up there with the 2 other greatest comedians, Robin Williams, George Carlin and John Pinette! Best 3 comidians that ever lived!
I smiled with that comment. Carlin and pinette are my favorite. Greets from Belgium ❤
And Fred Klett
Lol. Rest in peace! He was such a great comedian and such a nice person.
"Can we order?"
"No! First we gonna bring out some food."
If that isn't the most Italian thing I've ever heard...
And the angels began to sing.........
He's definitely one of the greats that we lost way too soon
I weigh 160 soaking wet, and I love this set. I love food. I wish I could appreciate it the way this man did. RIP John. We all miss you.
160 what? Kilos? if so sheesh you must also have some issues breathing, i know i had when i reached 108 kg. Cant imagine higher up.
@@wraithking3749 160 pounds. I'd be dead if I weighed that many kilos XD
I think you would fully appreciate it, just by fasting for a day and a half, and then eating dinner at the best Italian restaurant you know of.
This will be the most delicious meal of your life, and you will be singing like John, LOL!
When I hear John’s bits I’m happy, then I remember he’s gone and I’m sad. John Pinette a truly gifted entertainer. We miss you…. RIP.
best advertising for Italian Restaurants, thank you John
Wish I could have seen him live. I am guessing he had a kind personality. Good man. R.I.P.
He was comfortable with who he was. Loved that guy
He could literally talk about buffets for hours and the audience would eat it up (pun intended)
I got to see him at a comedy club in Ybor City, FL one night back in 2010 & I tell you what you would think I was crying I was laughing so hard , I still miss him
you're not scaring me!"
The tear wipe at 3:40 is priceless
My favorite of his routines. RIP John, we miss you so much.
My Favorite Comedian...
gone way too soon - the world dimmed a little when he passed
I showed this to my mom when I went to visit her for the holidays. For the entire two weeks I was there, we kept randomly doing the "'EYY LOOK AT YOU!" XD
"Yes, why don't we do that... I'll kill you later 'cause I need directions. GET IN THE CAR!"
That little move he would do with the slightly clenched fist and the wincing eye was so perfectly nuanced.
Fun Fact: Google translate turns the English words "I'm starving" into "Sono affamato"
I could watch this for days and laugh every time.🤣👍
The song he starts singing at 2:07 is "Eh, Cumpare!" best known from the Godfather III.
THANK YOU
He was the BEST! I cried when he passed away.
This is one of my all time favorite shows. He was so funny.
I miss him no one made me laugh harder R.I.P Mr. Pinette 👼🏻
He will be missed .I had the pleasure of watching him perform at Massey Hall in Toronto .Just Amazing !God Bless. ,RIP !
What a talent, what a loss... loved this man
Man he just takes any opportunity to bring out that singing voice of his 😂
"… there's a lot of salad!"
God, what a sweet, funny-as-hell guy. I was so sad to hear when he passed.
Such talent! This is one of my favorites. 🤣
Holy crap, bruh!! I haven’t laughed this hard at a comedy in a good while!!
rip john, say "hello" to Timmy
Gawd, I speak for us all that he left way too soon and boy do we miss him. 😋😋😋😋😋
My, my.....I laughed so hard that my ribs are hurting
“They we’re trying to kill me like they killed Timmy.” Lmao
"He's dead! Pass me his plate." LOL
The guy was a genius...loved his work throughout the years👍👏👏now he's still making them laugh🙏 at home! 🙏😇
Why do the best always die young ? : (
At his size it was inevitable, there are very few old really BIG guys.
Actually, in the latter years of his life, he lost a lot of that weight through diet and exercise. There is a UA-cam video where he does an interview on a radio station a few weeks before his death. He says in the interview that he lost over 200 pounds. He wasn't exactly slim and svelte in the interview, but at least he wasn't morbidly obese.
perhaps the toll was already taken :(
He was on the comedy circuit so I'm sure there was lots of partying
He died of a pulmonary embolism for those who didn’t know
Few people make me laugh quite the way John did.
WE MISS YOU JOHN!!
His material was great but his timing...the pause after "he's dead pass that over here ........I always eat when I'm sad.." I've watched it at least ten times, know it's coming and still laugh. RIP. He was great.
That's a really good sign of a really good comic. I can watch John's routines over and over and crack up each time. They don't ever get old.
Truly one of the best I've seen and hardest I've laughed.
Missing the Fatman...
+Dave Nicholas Yes, we all do. He was THE best! :)
Tnx for your comment! :)
I completely forgot about this man. So fucking funny
The best moment is 3:40 just for his expression. ❤ Mr Pinette
This is so good! I came back to this grainy video because he f'n nails it! RIP, big guy.
" He's dead!..... Pass that over here"
Great memories of my Mother's house on Christmas Eve. We would start eating around 3 in the afternoon then around midnight out came the sausage and peppers.
I STILL LMFAO😂😂😂 every time I watch John. RIP, you supremely talented SOB! The world misses you 😢
A friend that’s been gone for a bit “come over, I’ll feed you, you’ll explode all over the wall “
My chiropractor showed me after working on me. I laughed so hard I ran out of breath and it hurt my chest. I couldn’t laugh...if I breathed i would just laugh it out.
Can't remember the last time I laughed this hard
I enjoy standup but rarely visibly laugh. This one got tears flowing out my eyes cause I laughed so hard. What a legend
0:30 help. I genuinely can’t breathe.
my favorite comedian
John RIP but I bet you are enjoying more Italian food in Heaven than you ever had on earth.
Can you just picture all of the lil old Italian women cooking for John and friends.

"LOOK AT YOU HUH!!! YOU SON OF A BITCH!!" XD
The best skit, hands down.

the guy that got car jacked in the Seinfeld finale
Yup lol
Such a huge waste of talent. They didn't even let him speak. But I suppose when you're ten times funnier than the star of the show, you don't get to say anything.
This guy and Gilbert Godfrey are the only ones that can talk in caps lock
What's wrong with the 112 people who didn't like this video?
He was the BEST!
I like so many people ..
gone before they're time...
Hello Lee, hope you’re having a good day?
He was soooo funny! So sad he's gone...but he was soooo hilarious!
“WHATS THE MATTER YOU NO LIKE IT”!!!”
"We're gonna feed you, you're gonna explode all over the wall!"
In italy, if you're not italian, that's a real risk.
I love clean comedy and John Is the best!
Beautiful. Love this guy.
I loved the brutal honesty that he started this bit with .. calling out the outright dishonesty of French people who try to avoid being helpful and courteous to tourists.
GENIUS!!
Wish he sang more during that, it was perfect
Still is my favorite comic
Still laughing like i never heard it 🎉😂
Rip Mr P
One of my all time favorites
This guy is absolutely hilarious
He was hungry.
I'm going to an Italian place on Sunday where they start by serving greens, beans, angel hair pasta, bread... before you order. This is getting me ready...
aw, miss you John. you were John candy n Gomer Pyle from full metal jacket rolled into one, RIP
Hello Rene, hope you’re having a good day?
If you've ever eaten with an Italian or Hispanic family everything from 4:34 is spot on. No lies detected 😂. "Get back here. What happened to feed me I'm hungry and I'm dying of hunger?!"
He is a comic genius!!!
Was. He was a genius.
Man I miss his comedy
I like how he works The Wizard of Oz and Disney movies into his comedy. He is so intelligent!
I think the driving song is from one of "the Godfather" movies.
You are correct!@@milesconerly5818
God how I miss him! ❤
Absolute treasure. R.I.P
He was one of a kind! RIP
