I want another sit down with these same guys now. After Ricky called out Hollywood, after the slap, and after the Louis controversy. I want to hear Jerry's take on all of it and hear all of them discuss the state of comedy now.
comedy is definitely control. you can win over a beautiful actress with super shredder brad pitt as a boyfriend because funny is evergreen unless you get frontal lobe damage or another thing ... there are way too many to go over. strokes. heart shit. plus you could get uglier and less funny ya know?
@@rayan8031 Ricky and Louis have confirmed this on an episode of the Opie and Anthony show. The conversation started before recoding as they are walking to the set and they just casually sit down and continue. Entirety of it was 5 hours, can't remember how much of it was recorded. If you find that O and A episode you'll see.
jerry seinfeld feels like he needs a whole bunch of cars to be cool, but I mean... he's like the token 90s cheeseball. its weird to think that mothers in america may have masturbated to that guy. hell, maybe even dads or uncles (who can also be sons, trav)
It's worth pointing out that Gervais was producer on this show, and was functioning as a sort of host. It wasn't intended to be "4 Equal Comedians," it was presented more as "Gervais loves these guys and wants to do this thing with them."
Adam Harrison yep. I'm not a fan of his whole appearance here. It's just important that people remember it's not just "four comedians," it's "3 comedians and the comedian who's hosting the show"
***** I don't think Ricky is that funny alone, but I have grown to love the guy a lot because of Steve Merchant and Karl Pilkington. Who are Fucking Hilarious especially when with Ricky!
Adam Harrison It's just his personality. I don't think he's trying to "justify his place in the circle" I just think the others are more laid-back in their demeanour/approach. Some people ask "Why?" a lot, and are genuinely inquisitive people that cannot dismiss points easily (hence he's an atheist). Gervais is more of a debater as the others like to move from point-to-point. I may be wrong but it seems like you don't know Gervais well enough, and are just an American christening a British comedian based on a 50 minute show. Watch Seinfeld and Gervais on - 'Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee' - it may change your mind.
Heisenberg Why did you feel the need to mention that Gervais is an atheist? Also you have to remember Ricky is the 'youngest' stand up there, he started much later in and has achieved a hell of a lot. In addition to writing the office/extras etc

Luckily, he likes dump his bit at least once a year to make room for his creations. It makes me wonder if there is really a vas deferens between the old material and the new? Further, are the audiences more testy these days or is he still leaving them prostrate with laughter?

I went to a comedy show in Boston years ago where Dave Chapelle showed up with zero material. Just started interacting with the audience and building jokes from it. Might have been the funniest show I've ever seen.
It might be because it was all specific to your audience and comedy is built largely from shared experience, so it very well could have been stuff he’s thought about enough for it to BE a joke but it was presented to you as stuff only you guys are hearing and that intimacy gives another layer to that shared experience,making it more effective. Brilliant
Andrew Dice Clay has an album called "The Day The Laughter Died" that is basically him going onstage, making terrible "jokes" and insulting the audience. You'd think it'd be terrible, but it's hilarious. Probably the only actual funny thing the guy really did.
I truly hope the guy who did that bit finds his way to this video and realizes that 4 of the greatest comedians of all time both laughed at the actual joke, talked about it for 10 minutes, and built on it the funniest moment of their sit down together.
I showed it to him. He was amused. Gave up comedy some years back and doesn't regret it, but still performs regularly on guitar, rather brilliantly. Mr Kevin Sullivan, one of the funniest men alive.

Only difference is that Carlin literally had a special every year while i don't think CK has done quite that. Though he is insanely gifted. Probably my favorite
@Daniel Clark yeah but he appeals to a larger audience. You can not even like standup and like Jerry Seinfeld but if you love standup you probably don't like Jerry Seinfeld.
all these guys are used to having a platform to just monologue and go on for as long as they want, and its so funny watching them try to figure out how to not talk over each other.
This is such a great conversation because it feels honest. They are laughing at each other, disagreeing, saying things which obviously offend or annoy each other. Feels behind the scenes.
"what was your first bit you thought was funny?" Ricky: "oh i remember this well." Chris: "he just made it last week." and everybody missed that shot. shame.
not that they missed it, it was just too obvious for their level. Those commedians grew up roasting each other every single day..you can only imagine how high the bar is.
Yep. You can genuinely tell that the conversation is a little bit difficult for Chris in places. Look at his face when Ricky says his comment about poor people.
There are only so many comedians on this level and are able to intellectualize it like this. They’re expensive to get in a room and honestly, hearing them talk too much about it would take away from the magic.
i didnt get the comment, or the avatar, or the username. only thing that made me giggle is the last name. a giggle that lasted only 0.5 seconds because i have many many things to hate life.
+Giuseppe22 there is a part to the song 'sitting on the dock of the bay' where they whistle. Chris Rock wanted to know if the performer did this part for his version of the song 'sitting on a c*ck 'cause I'm gay'.
@@jw7305 no, it was put on UA-cam 8 years ago and released on hbo in April 2011. It was 3 months from being 10 years old when I wrote that comment, but now it’s def been over a decade.
I liked to spoof songs in College and I came up with that Dock of the Bay bit myself over 20 years ago! I doubt it was me He heard it from, but as silly as it is I felt a bit of pride watching these comic legends laugh over it!😀
I prefer to draw my jokes out because it literally thins out the crowd to make stress more manageable. by the end, it's just my ride home and i'm totally comfy around them, so. ya know. perspectives.
Even when they're not telling jokes or laughing I love it. These guys are all famous for their perspective in one way or another which holds up the comedy. Steel in the walls.
So much has happened after this show... a brit, a jew, a black guy, and a red headed mexican walk into a bar... greatest comedians of the 21st century.
To me, It feels like there's anger or tension throughout most of the conversation, but in reality I realize they're actually displaying unity with different types of comedy from different types of comedians and doing a damn good job at it. I like it.
"Does he do the whistle?" Chris Rock with the funniest moment in this hilarious hour of great comedy. Four excellent perspectives on humor from four maestros.
What I realized is the difference between the average comedian and a true comedian was that line. 25 years of Louis CK, a good comedian, having this story about a failing average comedian with the "sitting on a cock cuz im gay" bit and he didn't come up with a punchline for it. In 2 seconds, Chris Rock comes up with the punchline for the bit.
I could watch these guys talk everyday. It's the most interesting dynamic. They all have different views, styles, arguments...it's incredibly engaging. I'm convinced that comedy scratches a different surface in this world, which reveals deeper and deeper layers, that the audience simply isn't aware of until they examine why they laughed in the first place.
One of the best discussions of craft, any craft, that I’ve ever seen. It’s a privilege to watch four artists of their caliber discussing the form they love.
@@DunmoresMovieMania Lol, Louis, Chris, Ricky all seem to think he's talented. So does Eddie Murphy, Bill Burr, and lots of other legendary comics. I think they're probably better at judging who is funny/talented than your dumb ass.
UA-cam should be filled with this kind of thing. Actors, comedians, musicians, or whoever talking shop among themselves without a moderator, interviewer, or immediate audience. Pure gold.
I agree. I love listening to the pros be it comedians, actors, musicians etc. talking about their craft or behind the scenes of their careers. And especially without an interviewer that may ask dumb questions or interrupt constantly. Some people think it takes away some of the magic knowing too much about them but for me its the opposite. I think I enjoy them more.
Critical Nobody and the people who are offended seem so ignorant to how Rock and CK have attacked the n-word in their bits. If you saw Bring The Pain, you know EXACTLY what CK is referring to when he says “nigger” in this show. CK is practically quoting the bit in reference to what Rock is saying about him. If you saw Chewed Up, you know EXACTLY why CK would say “nigger” instead of “n-word”. While it’s unfair to expect everyone to be familiar with every aspect of all four careers involved, there’s a context for everything that’s going on. It’s a manufactured controversy.
I’m confused as to how a white video game reviewing neck bearded incel tells me how I should feel about two white men saying nigger lool it’s beyond me
He gives too much respect to Seinfeld...i dont like Seinfeld , i dont think hes funny, and hes so smug ....gross person !!Gervais is THE ABSOLUT SHIT there and everywere...the fucking guy is briliant!!
Brilliant comedy discussion - these guys riff so well with each other. Also, Ricky explaining things while he is struggling to hold in his laughter is just a joyous thing to experience - when he corpses at the "Does he do the whistle?" bit, it just lifts my soul.
Charles Harding Ricky was interrupted a lot, but he was also talking a lot. And he was weirdly trying to be the arbiter. Chris was interrupted a lot, but he hadn't been talking a lot.
they all were, by each other. It's a four way informal conversation between friends, happens all the time and is fine. They were just hanging out, on camera
@@mracnababa8047 Maybe I'm sounding a touch harsh, but what's pathetic about it? Most starting comedians don't have the talent, vision or dedication of these comedians and never will. This is not to say they cannot make a career. It would be nice if they could be inspired by these guys, and the overall standard of comedy would be all the better for it. But the fact is, most comedians are far more basic, trite and pedestrian, and, thankfully for them, there's a market for such offerings.
@@MartinHiggins1972 Of course most of them don't. But this isn't for most of them, it's for the ones who can make use of it. And one of the best ways to separate the ones with talent from the ones without, is to give all starting comics advice like this, let them hone their skills, and see who produces something that's worthy.
@@immanuelcunt7296 Yeah, I wouldn't stand in their way. I think it's better to give them the basics first and keep building on that, though, until they max out. If I was teaching comedy, I like to think I would more or less sense what path and which material suited each individual.
34:55 "Does he do the whistle?" Chris Rock was the most silent of all and mostly listening, yet here he said the funniest thing of the hour and made everyone crack up
@BumbleBeePenis ! I’m willing to bet that most people aren’t going to understand wtf you’re talking about. You’re trying to be funny? You really think he steals jokes? Elaborate
I’ve watched this so many times. It’s pretty rare when I can laugh at the same jokes over and over but the delivery in this group setting just works so well. They’re like the Voltron of comedy.
100 percent. Always stuck out to me that line, above all else. These guys that have worked so hard in the clubs for so many years and cracked it - and one guy who wrote an amazing sitcom and did stand up off the back of it. And he's still funnier than most stand ups.
He is coming back. It is t quite the same with blue check mark people continuing to ostracize and shame him, but he continues to write jokes and make people laugh. Even his unfinished leaked material is bettter than most burnished comedy specials.
He's back and Hollywood cant keep him away. I mean look at how Ricky Gervais savaged the fuckers just a few days ago st the golden globes. The Fandom Menace has succeded in helping wreck the overly woke bs culture there. Louie should never have been fucked on the level he was. The metoo movement had plenty of warrant but he was collateral damage
pure comedy gold with a lot of wisdom and jewels.. and instead of soaking it all up, you guys always find a way to fuck it all up with your negativity..
I know right. Why can't they just appreciate everything as being great and leave their cynicism outside, especially on something as objective as comedy.
Zetus Brown seriously, nobody here has any idea what they're talking about, chris rock is a blatant misogynist and all of his jokes are topical/race oriented, ricky is a good writer/actor but seems too self-conscious to be witty in the presence of other comics, louis was pretty okay here but his stand-up has gotten stale recently, all he ever talks about is how old he is (he's in his 40s, literally the youngest guy in the room here) and how exasperated his kids make him. Seinfeld seemed to be the most interesting and wise character here hands down, he always has thought provoking things to say about the subtle minutiae of comedy and nuances in delivery that constitute good humor
I don't know why you felt compelled to steal this post from another video and then post it on another video (verbatim). Oh, that's right. Your life is an empty void if you're not receiving likes on UA-cam.
Chris Rock breaks the mold of "if you have to explain a joke it is not funny." Dude somehow took a rule of comedy and broke it while leading us on a path of comedic understanding. Like he made the path of understanding his joke as funny as the final pay off the joke itself.
@@ralek592 I know I was fucking dying at the joke. Pretty sure Will got a good chuckle out of it before his whip cracked his ass up on stage for finding it funny.
I disagree. I'm not even a fan of Kevin Hart (i find him abrasive and annoying) but the dude can craft a good damn joke. He can make me laugh in spite of my cross armed distaste for him. He's paid his dues and he KNOWS the craft as well as ANY of these heavy hitters. Switch out ANY of these 4 for Kevin, and the conversation will have been just as rich. And again, this is coming from a guy who AVOIDS watching Kevin Hart movies/comedy specials
Ricky Gervais is honest and hilarious, so honestly the slander against him I don't understand lol ^^ but hey, to each their own. I love Ricky so I'm not annoyed by him
I will fellate my cat on national television if you release the full version, HBO. I’m actually not even kidding-that’s how much I want to see it. Why did the cat just run out of the room?
What an honor for Jerry to be in the presence of these three great comedians. I hope he gets there someday. Keep up with those open mics Jerry! It only takes time.
That may have something to do with the way television and radio works in Britain. The BBC controls everything and if they don't like something, you're a virtual pariah when it comes to broadcasting anything outside of the internet. They are all about perfect production & organization and have pretty strict rules about how things should work. I think Ricky's apprehension over how he's being presented on telly has a lot to do with that sort've "indoctrination" from the BBC.
3rd or 4th time watching this.. Louis in my opinion is the greatest stand up comic of all time. Literally EVERY special he ever put out is a home run. He has not missed yet. I put him above Carlin, Prior, Burr all of them
Anyone ever come back to this every now and then just to leave it playing as background sound while you eat cereal or do something around the house lol this is my 500th time watching
I think it’s just the image of a gay guy sitting on a cock (‘cuz he’s gay) going into that particular carefree whistling that’s in the actual song. I mean, that’s definitely the image-you don’t “have to” find it funny! Why something is funny at all to anyone, let alone differences of opinion on whether it’s funny or not among people, is actually kind of mysterious if you really think about it. Freud probably had a point: it’s a release of anxiety in some fashion.
he seems slightly nervous & uncomfortable to me...he goes for his water every time he's in the middle of talking like a crutch. just chill man...how someone like him that can perform in front of thousands of people still get nervous is strange to me.
On a body language lvl Chris is totally being wipe off by the others, lack of respect or consideration for him, even though it's inconsciously, Chris felt it
sweatykills jackson Laurel and Hardy are comedy legends, so is Charlie Chaplin.Not one of them is a legend and quite frankly non of them are funny, except Louis C.K. he sometimes has some good stuff.
@Jeepman89 the others are discussing the merits of it as a song parody and Rock just comes in with the whistle reference that nobody is even thinking about, but all recognise ... takes it onto a whole other level
I will never ever get tired of this. Every once in a while I'll stumble on this again and I'm always excited to see these guys interact this way. VERY interesting discussion - with one of the funniest moments ever at 34:55 where everyone just loses their collective shit..! Otis Redding is turning over in his grave for sure..!
lol yeah my favorite part is how Gervais is having such a fit that he stands up and looks like he goes for a high-five to Rock but since they're all too busy crying laughing, Chris never sees Ricky so we end up getting this gloriously awkward move from Ricky Gervais where he is half-crouched getting out of his chair as he gets left hanging and tries to smoothly transition into him just putting his hands on his knee so he could double down on his crouch in the middle of all of them lol....Is it just me or did Ricky Gervais seem like he barely listened to Chris Rock the whole time? Like when Ricky is waiting to speak, he's staring back n forth between Louis and Jerry, but then the second Chris goes to speak is also right when Ricky decides to jump in and just steamroll over Rock. Am I the only one to see that? I got the feeling that Chris Rock definitely noticed lol. (not trying to say that Ricky Gervais is racist or anything like that, in any way.)
@@wirebug42 Well Ricky CAN be racist without being willing to be so. The same way many male writers do sexist plots or movies or novels. The fact that Ricky pays more attention to Jerry and Louis means he's got a bias. It's not KRAMER-TYPE RACIST, but It is racism.
What's Chris even saying there? I'm not native English. I only understand "Did he do the whistle?" but I don't understand what it means in this context. Whistling after singing "Siting on a cock cause I'm gay"? I don't get it.
I want another sit down with these same guys now. After Ricky called out Hollywood, after the slap, and after the Louis controversy. I want to hear Jerry's take on all of it and hear all of them discuss the state of comedy now.
That would be amazing, or maybe they wouldn't feel like they could be this open today. Either way I'd love to see it happen
There's no way Jerry would go for that, and that means Rock wouldn't do it eirher.

I come back to this every couple of years or so and love every bit of it. Ages very well! Thx HBO
This is such a great conversation because it feels honest. They are laughing at each other, disagreeing, saying things which obviously offend or annoy each other. Feels behind the scenes.
well a few of them were downing drinks later lol
Cope harder. This was shit and i hate ricky gervais now. Annoying.
Further proof the british should be destroyed
Chris Rock calling Louis the niggerest white man I know is friends speaking friends
"what was your first bit you thought was funny?"
Ricky: "oh i remember this well."
Chris: "he just made it last week."
and everybody missed that shot. shame.
Nobody listening to the black guy of course
not that they missed it, it was just too obvious for their level. Those commedians grew up roasting each other every single day..you can only imagine how high the bar is.
I think one they actually missed was ricky saying how they all had shite jokes (in the british sense) in context of that conversation
Yep. You can genuinely tell that the conversation is a little bit difficult for Chris in places. Look at his face when Ricky says his comment about poor people.
Ricky heard it, but ignored it. Gervais is funny, but stand-up comedy wise he's not in the same league as the others.
I've watched this like 5 times over the years. It's like comfort food now. It's so good. Why is this not a TV series of comedians?
There are only so many comedians on this level and are able to intellectualize it like this. They’re expensive to get in a room and honestly, hearing them talk too much about it would take away from the magic.

He would ruin it in purpose, and they'd have to record it again next week without him
He'd have more insights than any of them but wouldn't want to be serious enough to discuss it for long
Ya, he wouldn’t be
"I think of a joke as the minimum amount of words to get to a punchline." What a great line.
Norm: Am i a joke to you ?
I prefer to draw my jokes out because it literally thins out the crowd to make stress more manageable. by the end, it's just my ride home and i'm totally comfy around them, so. ya know. perspectives.

I would always listen to anyone who is good at their job talk about their job. This is a fascinating conversation.
Even when they're not telling jokes or laughing I love it. These guys are all famous for their perspective in one way or another which holds up the comedy. Steel in the walls.
So much has happened after this show... a brit, a jew, a black guy, and a red headed mexican walk into a bar... greatest comedians of the 21st century.

Outlaw he contributes so little...he rides the coat tails of these other three.
"Does he do the whistle?" Chris Rock with the funniest moment in this hilarious hour of great comedy. Four excellent perspectives on humor from four maestros.
What I realized is the difference between the average comedian and a true comedian was that line. 25 years of Louis CK, a good comedian, having this story about a failing average comedian with the "sitting on a cock cuz im gay" bit and he didn't come up with a punchline for it. In 2 seconds, Chris Rock comes up with the punchline for the bit.

That was Jerry that said that though, not Chris
@@jmarsh5485 Nope.
I could watch these guys talk everyday. It's the most interesting dynamic. They all have different views, styles, arguments...it's incredibly engaging. I'm convinced that comedy scratches a different surface in this world, which reveals deeper and deeper layers, that the audience simply isn't aware of until they examine why they laughed in the first place.
One of the best discussions of craft, any craft, that I’ve ever seen. It’s a privilege to watch four artists of their caliber discussing the form they love.
Pity the unfunny untalented Seinfeld is included in this excellent discussion.
@@DunmoresMovieMania Lol, Louis, Chris, Ricky all seem to think he's talented. So does Eddie Murphy, Bill Burr, and lots of other legendary comics.
I think they're probably better at judging who is funny/talented than your dumb ass.
Is there any more videos like this?
UA-cam should be filled with this kind of thing. Actors, comedians, musicians, or whoever talking shop among themselves without a moderator, interviewer, or immediate audience. Pure gold.
I agree. I love listening to the pros be it comedians, actors, musicians etc. talking about their craft or behind the scenes of their careers. And especially without an interviewer that may ask dumb questions or interrupt constantly.
Some people think it takes away some of the magic knowing too much about them but for me its the opposite.
I think I enjoy them more.
That's basically what a podcast is lol almost every comedian has one
Ricky Gervais was the mediator here.
It’s called podcasts lol
@@WTFBUTWHY Uh, podcasts have an interviewer.
This conversation came out 7 years ago but NOW suddenly people are offended it.
Stop it and learn to laugh
Critical Nobody and the people who are offended seem so ignorant to how Rock and CK have attacked the n-word in their bits.
If you saw Bring The Pain, you know EXACTLY what CK is referring to when he says “nigger” in this show. CK is practically quoting the bit in reference to what Rock is saying about him.
If you saw Chewed Up, you know EXACTLY why CK would say “nigger” instead of “n-word”.
While it’s unfair to expect everyone to be familiar with every aspect of all four careers involved, there’s a context for everything that’s going on. It’s a manufactured controversy.

Brilliant comedy discussion - these guys riff so well with each other. Also, Ricky explaining things while he is struggling to hold in his laughter is just a joyous thing to experience - when he corpses at the "Does he do the whistle?" bit, it just lifts my soul.
I Absolutely LOVE This Video. I Despise how many times Chris Rock was cut off and interrupted. Had to point it out.
Michael Horobin they all interrupt eachother. As a Brit I feel the same about Ricky but I think it's just selection bias
Charles Harding Ricky was interrupted a lot, but he was also talking a lot. And he was weirdly trying to be the arbiter. Chris was interrupted a lot, but he hadn't been talking a lot.
Yeah I think they all just kinda talked over each other the whole time, they all had things to say.
It’s because he is black...duh
they all were, by each other. It's a four way informal conversation between friends, happens all the time and is fine. They were just hanging out, on camera
After 11 years this is still gold. Every starting comedian should see this.
Most starting comedians aren't worthy of this. It would be like showing a dog a card trick.
@@MartinHiggins1972 What a pathetic mindset. That is the point mate, for starting comedians to get better
@@mracnababa8047 Maybe I'm sounding a touch harsh, but what's pathetic about it? Most starting comedians don't have the talent, vision or dedication of these comedians and never will.
This is not to say they cannot make a career. It would be nice if they could be inspired by these guys, and the overall standard of comedy would be all the better for it.
But the fact is, most comedians are far more basic, trite and pedestrian, and, thankfully for them, there's a market for such offerings.
@@MartinHiggins1972 Of course most of them don't.
But this isn't for most of them, it's for the ones who can make use of it. And one of the best ways to separate the ones with talent from the ones without, is to give all starting comics advice like this, let them hone their skills, and see who produces something that's worthy.
@@immanuelcunt7296 Yeah, I wouldn't stand in their way. I think it's better to give them the basics first and keep building on that, though, until they max out. If I was teaching comedy, I like to think I would more or less sense what path and which material suited each individual.
"You're making me do my act in front of the 3 top comedians in the world" Louis C.K. is so humble

"B-b-but Seinfeld is so overrated and old!" Why the fuck don't I ever learn to stay out of the UA-cam comment section
Zetus Brown seriously, nobody here has any idea what they're talking about, chris rock is a blatant misogynist and all of his jokes are topical/race oriented, ricky is a good writer/actor but seems too self-conscious to be witty in the presence of other comics, louis was pretty okay here but his stand-up has gotten stale recently, all he ever talks about is how old he is (he's in his 40s, literally the youngest guy in the room here) and how exasperated his kids make him. Seinfeld seemed to be the most interesting and wise character here hands down, he always has thought provoking things to say about the subtle minutiae of comedy and nuances in delivery that constitute good humor

Chris Rock breaks the mold of "if you have to explain a joke it is not funny." Dude somehow took a rule of comedy and broke it while leading us on a path of comedic understanding.
Like he made the path of understanding his joke as funny as the final pay off the joke itself.
He’s on another level. Almost no one could try that and still be funny
Of course there are times when it bombs hard with him

He's paid his dues and he KNOWS the craft as well as ANY of these heavy hitters. Switch out ANY of these 4 for Kevin, and the conversation will have been just as rich. And again, this is coming from a guy who AVOIDS watching Kevin Hart movies/comedy specials
Kevin Hart’s entire bit is “IM A SHORT BLACK MAN ISNT THAT FUNNY?!”
Kevin has said he’s a ‘brand’. The guy is thinking of himself as a product so he’s focussing on the money side of his job

JuanCena meme lord like me? , said no one ever.
The only flaw in this show was that it was edited down to 49 min.
Would be far better without the British dude interrupting and disagreeing. He adds nothing.
Ricky said the uncut version was like 3 hours. Hopefully the full thing comes out eventually
That may have something to do with the way television and radio works in Britain. The BBC controls everything and if they don't like something, you're a virtual pariah when it comes to broadcasting anything outside of the internet. They are all about perfect production & organization and have pretty strict rules about how things should work. I think Ricky's apprehension over how he's being presented on telly has a lot to do with that sort've "indoctrination" from the BBC.
Mel Bee eh I don't know though. British media seems a lot looser with what they can say, atleast as far as panel shows go

I disagree, they all have their own niche and that’s what makes them awesome. It’s true though that Chappelle is missing here.
The problem with Chappell and burr is that their premises haven’t changed in a long ass time. Ricky falls into that trap too.
It’s great to see three stand up legends and Jerry Seinfeld talk in depth about what it means to be a comedian.
Not sure if that was supposed to be a joke. Jerry was funnier than all three guys combined and he never needed to use profanity to get a cheap laugh

"Did he do the whistle?!" Haven't laughed that hard/loud in a year or so.
Can you please ,for the love of god, explain to me why that's funny?? Everytime I watch the video, I wonder they laugh so loud?
I think it’s just the image of a gay guy sitting on a cock (‘cuz he’s gay) going into that particular carefree whistling that’s in the actual song. I mean, that’s definitely the image-you don’t “have to” find it funny! Why something is funny at all to anyone, let alone differences of opinion on whether it’s funny or not among people, is actually kind of mysterious if you really think about it. Freud probably had a point: it’s a release of anxiety in some fashion.
Nearly pissed myself first time I saw that. Best part of the whole video.

Watch jerry on jimminy glick
I absolutely adore this concept, of just sitting down legends, and having them discuss their artform, openly.
"This is Jerry Seinfeld doing Louis C.K" - Ricky Gervais

Out of all the things you could quote from this 49-min-piece...
As witnessed by Chris Rock
I will never ever get tired of this. Every once in a while I'll stumble on this again and I'm always excited to see these guys interact this way. VERY interesting discussion - with one of the funniest moments ever at 34:55 where everyone just loses their collective shit..! Otis Redding is turning over in his grave for sure..!
lol yeah my favorite part is how Gervais is having such a fit that he stands up and looks like he goes for a high-five to Rock but since they're all too busy crying laughing, Chris never sees Ricky so we end up getting this gloriously awkward move from Ricky Gervais where he is half-crouched getting out of his chair as he gets left hanging and tries to smoothly transition into him just putting his hands on his knee so he could double down on his crouch in the middle of all of them lol....Is it just me or did Ricky Gervais seem like he barely listened to Chris Rock the whole time? Like when Ricky is waiting to speak, he's staring back n forth between Louis and Jerry, but then the second Chris goes to speak is also right when Ricky decides to jump in and just steamroll over Rock. Am I the only one to see that? I got the feeling that Chris Rock definitely noticed lol.
(not trying to say that Ricky Gervais is racist or anything like that, in any way.)
it seems that way for sure. I'm not sure that Ricky meant it but Chris definitely didn't get to speak when he wanted to.
@@LeoMastroTV lol. "it doest matter so dont waste your time"....*while replying to a 6 moth old commet" XD
@@wirebug42 Well Ricky CAN be racist without being willing to be so. The same way many male writers do sexist plots or movies or novels. The fact that Ricky pays more attention to Jerry and Louis means he's got a bias.
It's not KRAMER-TYPE RACIST, but It is racism.
What's Chris even saying there? I'm not native English. I only understand "Did he do the whistle?" but I don't understand what it means in this context. Whistling after singing "Siting on a cock cause I'm gay"? I don't get it.
These are all titans of standup, but can we agree that Louie is the unquestionable alpha here?
