I feel like I honestly really needed to hear the part about how everyone all over the world is unhappy. Even tho it's kinda sad at least it makes you feel normal
If you want to check out the NPR show "Live From Here" (formerly known as "A Prairie Home Companion"), he does a segment most weeks about traveling across the USA. It's a hilarious breath of fresh air from all the great music.
Tom Papa got me through some dark days during the pandemic. I had his Netflix special on repeat as I tried to get through my work from home. You're doing great!
The tone when he says it: "Your grandmother has passed away." "We're all out of money and can't pay for your college." "We've decided to go with another candidate." "We have to move to Detroit." Except he really says: "Go to a bowling alley."
He's so funny, and spot on about life. There's this fantasy people want to live where they're happy all the time. Fools all of them. You're over 40, you're miserable, you're angry? I get it. Thanks Tom. I'm so there. One of my coworkers told me I look angry all the time. Maybe that's because I AM!!!!!
@@bishermartini4533 This dude needs to ask. The answer is: work, family, friends, the state of the world and our own failings. Pretty much the one thing that doesn't is the dog. Oh yeah, and the realization that you can't fix anything and things are never going to be better. In fact, they'll only get worse.
@Nicholas Stroganoff I guess we have an intrinsic alarm system that pulls our threads to run and fight, buddhism among all has got the meaning of life question best-answered, the world will always be short off our growing expectations, and we can't fully control what's going on, but we can cut out dependence on luck, wealth and comfort, and fully embrace our insignificance.
Rames Nashat I agree, from my limited research, Buddhism offers a good approach, because (misfortune + nonacceptance = pain). However, (injustice + acceptance = stasis).
At 19 my single working mother nearly died having her second child. And my grandmother got her alzheimers diagnosis, so I moved back from college to become her primary care giver and keep her in her house. Yeah. I'm a bit unhappy. (I'm 21 now.) Funny set though. Gotta keep editing this cause he keeps going. Lol. Dead relatives: Lost my father at ten. Nursed the grandfather that taught me to hunt and the grandmother that taught me to fish into the grave my late teens. Dead dreams: I'd never pay off the loans to get a degree that'll let me teach at a university. I plan on teaching GED courses at a prison. Cause the states not as stingy with prisons... Your job is more stable and secure.... My retirement plan is to die in the climate wars...
It’s even more miserable under Communism. I thought we settled this 30 years ago but apparently some people think it’s a good idea to resurrect bad ideas
Yeah dumb ass kids dont realize that everyone in office are power hungry morons and socialism just lets them manipulate the system more cause they arnt asking you theyre telling you
Idk what you're talking about, my husband can hold a grudge like any of the women you are talking about. My husband's cousin wronged him and will never talk to him again. I am pretty forgiving. But don't test me. Lol.
I need to learn from this guy. I'm forever cutting people off. Those who bring me down, are negative, don't value me, etc. Who thinks I should just keep them instead of ditch them? Flip side, Im left lonely through it all.
I think it's not quite so cut-and-dried, tbh. I like to think that people *can* change things that bother/hurt/etc. you if you give them the opportunity but at the same time demonstrate the necessity. You obviously can't do this with everyone, because some people will never learn, or will never agree with you and get really defensive if you point out anything wrong. But people really can surprise you if you give them a chance sometimes. Good luck!
Well let me see... If they bring you down, are negative, and do not value you then yeah you need to ditch them. Me and my man have our problems but I could never say any of those things about him are true. He's not negative, he DOES value me because we're able to work through our problems and come to an agreement ... he does not make me feel bad about myself. In fact he will lie to me to make me feel better about myself, lol. You really shouldn't settle for less my dear.
No you right to cut off toxic people. But you're attracting toxic people because of your subconscious thought behavior. Switch up and attract good, loving people to you ❤
Men don’t interact much with their friends. It’s just no drama, come over or don’t. Call or don’t. Talk , go out for a drink or don’t. If you can keep people in your address book, talk to them once every few years, etc, then don’t cut them off. If you and your friends talk about your lives and upset each other, then the only point to learn now is that you’re not happy the way things are. I’m in that boat, too.
I wish we still had Richard jeni. It was so sad situation when we lost him. Google Richard jeni and you'll find out what the reason for him passing the way was one of the reasons the first one was depression it was what that depression caused him to do.
I can completely understand the 19 and not happy part if you are living on your own but if you live with parents you have it made. That's all I'm going to say.
There are tons of reason for a 19 years old to be unhappy. You know that abusive parents exist right? Or abusive partners? Or people in general with negative influence. Or maybe your parents died when you were 16. Or your best friend died. Saying there's no reason for a 19 years old to be unhappy is ignorant
@@GermanTube123 actually the majority of people I know who are 18 and above who have abusive parents tend to get out of that situation like I did I left with a backpack full of clothes and nothing else with my animals packed in cages and we were that way for about a year until I was able to get up on my feet.
@@abbyallen1826 The thing is, like i said, that adults, when they pass a certain age, tend to think that teenagers and young adults have no reasons to be unhappy, especially when they live with their parents. Why? Cause they don't have to pay bills or take care of kids? Isn't this a little bit ignorant to say? Are these things the only reasons which cause unhappiness? I think the word unhappiness is the wrong word to use in here. The word responsibility would make much more sense. Teenagers and young adults, who live at their parents and who don't have kids, have less responsibilities. But that doesn't compulsorily mean that they're or should be less unhappy because of it. On the other hand, taking responsibility can be the main source of general satisfaction and fulfillment.
The reason small talk sucks because most of the general population is boring as shit, nobody wants to acknowledge it. Crappy ass person will walk up to you and start talking about the weather, thats all they got.
it's baffling he's not more recognized in the comedy world. His comedy is gold and so relatable.
@@sierrasky2491 Not the real liberals. I'm a liberal, and I think he's hilarious.
It's because most talented people are not well recognized. Sad. This guy so original and funnier than most popular comic.
I think he's great too!!
@@fivestring65ify same
Naa, he's made millions with his comedy. He's doing aight
You know you’re getting old when you relate to Tom Papa material
you must be 19 ;)
I feel like I honestly really needed to hear the part about how everyone all over the world is unhappy. Even tho it's kinda sad at least it makes you feel normal
Gryz Dross nah man im happy all the time
@@bencepapp3128 same :) my life is fucking amazing lol.
@@zoomskiller of course you jump out of planes 😁
Gryz Dross I am so there with ya! That is why I have watched his Netflix special about 15 times already.
Zoomskiller If my life would be amazing, i wouldn't watch comedy on UA-cam. There are so many better things to do when having an amazing life lol
This guy is underrated.
Smart material.
Very insightful and funny.
I like him on the radio too he has a funny segment out in America
He’s bloody brilliant isn’t he? Never even heard of him here in the UK but he’s so good.
Incredibly underrated!! Absolutely brilliant comedy
A little Tom Papa in the morning always makes the agony bearable.
I know right, when i feel in miserable i watch him🤣🤣
I respect the girl workin the deep fryer
Didn't know he was talking about symp standards in that bit 😂
self-respect?
He should have a column or a blog. He seems like a great essayist.
If you want to check out the NPR show "Live From Here" (formerly known as "A Prairie Home Companion"), he does a segment most weeks about traveling across the USA. It's a hilarious breath of fresh air from all the great music.
Had to look it up, but it's called "Out In America" and there are some clips on UA-cam if you want to skip the music 🤣
He has a book full of comedy essays called "Your Dad stole my rake and other family dilemmas." It is great!
he has a podcast with the best name
His comedy is so honest! Love it! He needs to be in movies, like old school John Candy type movies. I'd watch.
Tom Papa got me through some dark days during the pandemic. I had his Netflix special on repeat as I tried to get through my work from home. You're doing great!
The tone when he says it:
"Your grandmother has passed away."
"We're all out of money and can't pay for your college."
"We've decided to go with another candidate."
"We have to move to Detroit."
Except he really says:
"Go to a bowling alley."
He’s so blunt and so right. Loving his stuff!
He’s so hilarious , his jokes are my happy pills 😁
Wisdom is funny, although it hurts, too.
This guy is hella funny. I watch his videos all the time. Even if its re-runs, it still makes me laugh.
He's so funny, and spot on about life. There's this fantasy people want to live where they're happy all the time. Fools all of them. You're over 40, you're miserable, you're angry? I get it. Thanks Tom. I'm so there. One of my coworkers told me I look angry all the time. Maybe that's because I AM!!!!!
What makes you so angry?
@@bishermartini4533 This dude needs to ask. The answer is: work, family, friends, the state of the world and our own failings. Pretty much the one thing that doesn't is the dog.
Oh yeah, and the realization that you can't fix anything and things are never going to be better. In fact, they'll only get worse.
"Women never blow things uo" They terrorise 1 guy at a time 😆😂😂
this guy always cracks me up .
He's like the teacher in school that's kinda funny. 👌
The teacher who's a good speaker and kinda amusing but not funny.
He is a really underrated comedian
That's Don...
my thoughts exactly...
When you hear your friends name on the stand up.....
Apart from being hilarious, that also was very true and meaningful, no one is happy.
He's right, we just get little doses of happiness. Nobody's constantly happy . That would be insanity.
Rames Nashat I wonder why we habituate to happiness, but not sadness.
@Nicholas Stroganoff I guess we have an intrinsic alarm system that pulls our threads to run and fight, buddhism among all has got the meaning of life question best-answered, the world will always be short off our growing expectations, and we can't fully control what's going on, but we can cut out dependence on luck, wealth and comfort, and fully embrace our insignificance.

Carlin: "Joey was more than happy. We had to have him locked up." (Bad paraphrase but you get the idea.)
One of the funniest, underrated comedians. I love Tom
His tone reminds me of Jim Gaffigan. This was hilarious!
Oh shit, yeah.
Go in the back of the bowling alley! There’s a deep fryer there lmaooo
I'm dying.. I want to go to the bowling alley now to just accept my fate. lol
"that's Don his crazy'😂😂😂😂😂
This is a classic 6 minutes of comedy. Every piece is right on.
This is a college speech lol
There's like 4 supermodels on the planet
In some ways that's true because they all look the same. XD
gizel brown and Leonardo DiCaprio has banged all of them at least once
Tom Papa. Papa Tom.
Brilliant👏 accurately described 👏
SORRY, IM HAPPY....But I'm a widow, only have one child, will never be a grandparent.....but happy I have that all the time.
The greatest philosopher of our time
😂 how do you feel.
I feel ok.
How you gonna feel later.
I don’t know.
This dude kill me. 😂
Love this guy! Literally cannot live without my dose of TOM PAPA!
“I don’t remember what they were, but I knew they weren’t coming true”💀💀
That was so good.. I laughed out loud many times.. I actually only know Tom from JRE so it's cool to see why he's such a great stand-up..
"One guy at a time."
Papa is ,from my second time seeing him. is deff underrated.
@ 19, I was the weed and family guy kinda girl!!
I still am 😂
He's GREAT!!!!!!!!! A dude the worlds needs
Life really bearing down on ya at 19? LOL I laughed so hard.
They terrorize one guy at a time. LMAO.
one guy at a time, and for a long time!
My new favorite comedian
Tom Papa is comedic genius.✨
Lower the bar a little... and then the camera switch shows the front row.
um no... not that low lol
Love this man!!!
this is possibly the best 5-10 min set ive ever seen. Fantastiic....
Mr. Papa thank You for keeping us laughing. It is better to laugh than to be angry .
He is amazing! I love his delivery
His entire set is eerily accurate.
this guy is brutal! im gonna be 40 next year and still dreaming..
Never stop ❤ ✨
Fantastic set
He's soooo funny!
At times his style reminds me of Carlin
What a killer set!
I hope this guy gets BIG! 😀👍👏😆
He was big like 10 years ago
You missed it bruz
Just brilliant
This dude understands life
Ever since i started listening to him my life has been great
I love this guy! Genius .
I am so happy I gave Mr. Papa a shot and watched him. Hilarious... 'Papa don't preach' - No. you preach it brother. very funny!
At 19 my single working mother nearly died having her second child. And my grandmother got her alzheimers diagnosis, so I moved back from college to become her primary care giver and keep her in her house.
Yeah. I'm a bit unhappy. (I'm 21 now.)
Funny set though.
Gotta keep editing this cause he keeps going. Lol.
Dead relatives:
Lost my father at ten. Nursed the grandfather that taught me to hunt and the grandmother that taught me to fish into the grave my late teens.
Dead dreams:
I'd never pay off the loans to get a degree that'll let me teach at a university. I plan on teaching GED courses at a prison. Cause the states not as stingy with prisons... Your job is more stable and secure....
My retirement plan is to die in the climate wars...
Yep, that legit sucks. You may consider yourself an honorary over-forty.
He is so good!
papa is the best
Someone: "Life is unchangeably miserable."
Capitalism: "Good... goood."
It’s even more miserable under Communism. I thought we settled this 30 years ago but apparently some people think it’s a good idea to resurrect bad ideas
Yeah dumb ass kids dont realize that everyone in office are power hungry morons and socialism just lets them manipulate the system more cause they arnt asking you theyre telling you
He constantly refreshes one important goal for men-stay single.
MGTOW.
This guy made my morning already
This guy was sooo funny on the marriage ref
Tom Papa. Legend. Nuff said
I need more Tom Papa
"old time russia" lol... .... ............
Really? When i heard that i thought what a horrible punchline.
Brady Neal It was hilarious
Soviet Union joke?
Tom is a very funny man.
He's not underrated anymore I think the public knows he is great
Where has this man been?!?
Have seen him do stand up in years
He appears weekly on NPR on "Live from Here"
if you edit out the laughs it becomes the saddest, most savage depiction of life ever recorded
Weed and family guy Solid advice
Tom Papa was always great on Opie & Anthony
That’s Don.
Funny stuff!
He is 100 and 10% right😹😹😹✋🥂

He speaketh truth. And to quote Homer Simpson, “it’s so funny cuz it’s true.”
brilliant!! my good sir! great stuff! lol
Tom Papa is great
I love this guy🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tom Papa, YOU ROCK MAAAN! 😍😍😂😂😂😂😂
Nail, BANG!!! Right On It's Head! 👍👍🔨🔨🔨

I'm 5 years ahead. Thirty five years old and all my dreams are already dead.
You and I both, my friend. 😶
His delivery compares to George Carlin, somewhat.
"Life is a pair of skinny jeans and you're a fat ass" I need a shirt with that quote
He has essence of George Carlin. I like him.
Its a competition to see who is less sad.... haha!
Gosh I hate small talk...
