    Finally! Thank you for posting this under your channel. Adult swim has held this hostage for too long! And if it makes you feel any better, it's December 21st and I still don't have a tree. My life is falling apart

      It's okay to not have a tree up still, you're not the only one who's having an "off" holiday season (I know I am). You'll make it through this, friend ❤️🫂

    We live in a world where everything is shrouded in a protective layer of irony. Joe is perhaps the only comedian committed to complete sincerity and it gives me hope.

    • @SchmavidSchmobb

      That being said, the irony of Connor O’Malley being one of joes main partners is hilarious

    My paternal grandmother passed today. I lived with her as a teen and as an adult Joe Pera talks with you has been a massive comfort and spoke to a lot of weird idiosyncrasies I had picked up by being raised in massive parts by two beautiful loving members of the silent generation. The entirety of this show feels like a hug and the last episode never ceases to make me cry as Abide with Me plays out of its earnity idk what it is.
    The last five years have been a hard albeit gentle succumbing to dementia and later alzhiemers but the wit, humor, and clarity of certain things of that generation or maybe just grandmas have,I can hear echo out of Nana and her friends and everything to the furniture and music have helped make me feel at home in my adulthood while I try to make one best as I can by what they taught me.
    I'm grateful to have been my Tita's grandchild and thank you Joe Pera for painting a portrait that beautifully depicts that unconditional love and grief in a really human and soft way.
    Watching this before bed was a treat after a really hard day thank you.
    It's the darkest night of the year and from here it gets lighter.❤

      I'm so sorry for your loss. I just lost my cousin on the 19th, only 5 days away from his 37th birthday... it's been a doozie for sure but watching this was really comforting. Sending lots of warm wishes and hopes for many blessings in the new year to you, and to YOU as well, dear reader.

    @Wii505 5 місяців тому +96

    I hate that Adult Swim canceled your show. This video helped get your show picked up by them. Also, thus video is still one of my favorites and I'm said that we will never get to see what Joe and Sarah were going to do with the lot that Joe bought with the money from selling his Nana's house. Thinking of that made me think of my own grandma that had passed from cancer that she had everywhere. But anyway, I hope you and your extended family will have/had a great holiday this year Joe. And I like your soothing voice and how funny you can be. I hope to see one of your shows sometime in the future, when you come to Denver again
    Update: Never seen the full video until now and I like the changes that was made in the show from the things in this video

  • @RocketDogShawn
    @RocketDogShawn 5 місяців тому +126

    Thank you Joe!! I know the chances may be slim, but a ton of us would love a blu-ray set of the show so we don’t have to worry about it going away or into the Adult Swim vault. I know that’s probably not something you have a lot of control over, but maybe if enough of us make enough noise it could persuade the powers that be?
    Merry Christmas!

    Thank you so much Joe, this one has become hard to find and it's nice to view it legally instead of having to rely on the file a guy sent me once, which is perfectly fine but when it comes to your stuff, I would rather watch it legitimately. I really hope you are able to get this and the entire series on DVD or (preferably) Blu Ray someday!

    I’m so glad that you uploaded this to UA-cam for all to see, as I can’t seem to find it anywhere else. While visiting family for the holiday, this came on after an airing of _Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory_ so I recorded and watched it with my Mom and it started a nice, lengthy conversation about pine trees. Then I accidentally deleted the recording. Thank you, Joe Pera. And merry belated Christmas!

    @galaxionart9338 5 місяців тому

    I didn’t get to put up a tree this year, in fact for most of my life my family had an artificial tree. But that was okay with me because I could still decorate it with my family with a cup of hot cocoa. I think that’s the important part of a Christmas tree in the end: it’s what you do with the tree itself that counts. Either way, I’d probably go with a pine tree if I had to choose one. I hope you found the right tree this year and I wish we all could have helped you find it on Adult Swim where you truly belong. I’m sorry they couldn’t see that. Merry Christmas Joe :)
