Joe Pera has the mannerisms of a 13 year old boy, the body of a 35 year old man and the voice and clothes of an 80 year old man. He's like personified cognitive dissonance.
Or . . . he's a fourth dimensional being, trapped in our realm, experiencing the whole of his existence simultaneously and/or congruent with the seemingly forward movement of our time. Maybe that's causing his existentialism. *Probably not . . .*
This is comedy distilled to the 9th degree, no cursing, no studio audience or laugh tracks, no snappy graphics. Joe has discovered the secret, and shares it eagerly. He is the Norman Rockwell of comedy.
You make the BEST comparison I've ever heard about Joe. Rockwell and Pera are both known for their seamless delivery and comforting familiarity, but just like Rockwell was able to both emulate and appreciate Jackson Pollock, Pera just GETS how to get across sincerity as much as armor-piercing humor. His gentleness and milquetoast style work great in the context of the Adult Swim subgenre of comedy; he simply has an unparalleled knack for disarming and memorable comedy.
He had a notecard just for the question, “What is breakfast?” and then folded it up and put it back in his pocket. A small detail, but really funny. Joe Pera is too good at what he does.
When he holds up his note card, reads off 'What is breakfast?' and folds it and puts it away is some of the most subtle and genius comedy I've ever seen. I never get tired of this.
I found him was through that adult swim dealio. I just let his Playlist keep going and it definitely put me to sleep. so soothing. it has to be a character though. I wonder what he really talks like
the subtle brilliance of his comedy in this video deserves a score of ok... ok.... ok... ok... ok... ok... ok.... ok... ok.... ok.... 10 oks... is a perfect score.
It’s the sincerity of Joe Pera that really makes his comedy work. Granted, I have no doubt that he exaggerates what he is saying, but I truly believe everything that he says.
my favorite part is when he asks the old couple what their favorite part of the breakfast is, and they say they like the sausage. Joe's head nodding paired with the music get me every time.
I really enjoy listening to Joe. He has a passion for simple things in life: the transfer of liquids from a large container to a small container, a nice community breakfast, early twentieth century songbooks, dog names, nature hikes, a good storm, the VFW, Knights of Columbus, barns in central New York, etc.Being a Midwesterner myself I would enjoy talking with him about the great freighters on the Great Lakes with an emphasis on the Edmund Fitzgerald, and obscure battles of the American Civil War.
Nice Twin Peaks reference at 3:25 it makes it even more wholesome. In fact just imagine Joe Perra having donuts and coffee with agent Dale Cooper and the guys at the station! Pure gold
He's so convincing and so committed that when I first saw his act I thought he may have early onset Parkinson's or muscular dystrophy. (I have friends who have both) He's wonderful!!
the shot of him throwing the leaves followed by the shot of them falling, with him saying Shawangunk translated means "in the smoky air" gets me every time
I missed out on ALOT of great content during my 7 years as a homeless heroin addict tweaker. Alot of hilarious stuff I had no idea existed. Ps: Yes, I was a heroin junkie and a meth head at the same time. Unfortunate but true. Approaching 4 years clean & sober now.
All my life I've tried to do good for others and all too often I get kicked in the pants. You know what they say, "no good deed goes unpunished". But every time I see Joe I get a little bit of a reward and know that tomorrow will be better. Thanks Joe. And good luck to the Fire Department! You guys should be rewarded every single day.
Love the subtle body mannerisms such as not knowing what to do with his hands, constantly shifting weight, slight fidgets, and the really stiff gait in his walk
listening to this guy talk is like sipping warm coffee.
supersqueak It is.
Okay.
daria
Yesssss
Haha I miss Daria
I love how hard he's trying not to laugh when he was giving the OKs.
3:50
Best part was their annoyed looks.
his face gets redder and redder lmao
MEALS ON WHEELS
@@sk33t_38 He's definitely a blusher
My favorite thing is how low-key bitter he is about the dollar increase.
As he should be, an absolute outrage
I hope they don't 😂
@4:04 racist!
Really the 10 👌was over the top
@@gratemusic3008 I don't know what a dollar is worth, but at least 40 cents.
Laughing so hard at the first sentence of his wiki "Joe Pera was born in Buffalo, New York where he claims to be " familiar with the trees up there".
Kevin Rustles haha his personal life "self proclaimed buffalo bills fan and trys to incorporate it in each show." And that's all beautiful
That broke me
I also love how his age isn't on there either
Tree TV 4 Life.
It says he’s a flamboyant realist entrepreneur
absolutely wholesome
Was just about to comment this hahaha
I think i love him haha
Joe-lsome
Jew
Jew making light of and using Christian attitudes to make a fool of things.

I mean, he has been leaving us in suspense for two whole years now.
Todd Hårig the suspense is killing me
I can't take it anymore!!! Did you like it Ryan???
I have just discovered this guy from "Joe Pera talks you to sleep" on adult swim. I want more of that show. It's amazing.
Adult Swim just rereleased a 10 hour version of it
Hayden Spencer
It’s the same 10 min clip looped
Cant tell you how many times i have fallen asleep to that video was actually happy they released a 10 hour loop of it
@@Kjca_1998 ik. but it's still there for you from when you sleep to the time you wake up
Same.
“I like the sausage.”
*Pan flute music*
my favorite part lol
That mad me lol
I love the nod he does after hearing it like “ehhhhh that’s not the answer I was expecting but sure it works”
I noticed that, too. Weirdness
I was laughing hard too about the answer then the passionate pan flute music comes out of nowhere while he is nodding
Joe Pera has the mannerisms of a 13 year old boy, the body of a 35 year old man and the voice and clothes of an 80 year old man.

Robert Macdonald dude i wish my kids would behave like him ...
I think that is what he is going for.

...I dont know if that's the right word to use, cognitive dissonance...
"What cant you put in the pancakes?"
"We can put anything in the pancakes. What do you have in mind?
"Chocolate chips."
"We can do that."
"Wow."
Tolbert exactly lol 😂 if you didn't write this I was...too funny
@@theconsciousobserver6829 saame asf surprised more people dint realize or understand how funny that part was. Made me hit the like haha
Michael Garcia chocolate chips is the most basic additive to pancakes this guy says "wow"
Best part of the video 😁
That's my favorite part

(Also, I hope you have good warm hearty breakfasts all this fall and winter, and pleasantly light refreshments when spring and summer roll around)
9 okays if they raise it to $7.50.
okay

lucky okay
He had a notecard just for the question, “What is breakfast?” and then folded it up and put it back in his pocket.
A small detail, but really funny. Joe Pera is too good at what he does.
Omg so it is all an act
@@SussurroTV A masterfully done one at that.
The funniest part is as he did that, he stated via voiceover “I asked a question that had been weighing on my mind” 🤣🤣
Mele Paasi that’s at 3:00
Timestamp then!
"chocolate chips"
"we can do that"
"wow"
They were so overwhelmed by getting a perfect score they just froze. I have fucking tears in my eyes. Thank God for Joe Pera.
The look on those guys’ faces after getting 10 OKs was priceless.
Joe almost broke character with "meals on wheels".
Jon K hes just playing a character?
Jon K he is playing a character but his voice really sounds like that
I refuse to believe that he is different in real life. There are very few interviews of him on the internet.
hes definitely playing a character and thats not his real voice, go on his youtube page you can see him play other characters on his older videos
fuducker2 There's a lot of videos of him acting differently, and not stuttering at all, and speaking with a little faster cadence.
The look on his face when Dave says he'll give him chocolate chips warms my heart.
“Wow”
When he holds up his note card, reads off 'What is breakfast?' and folds it and puts it away is some of the most subtle and genius comedy I've ever seen. I never get tired of this.
It’s funny because these places he goes too he fits right in.
To*
im going to watch him every night before bed
his voice is soothing
I found him was through that adult swim dealio. I just let his Playlist keep going and it definitely put me to sleep. so soothing. it has to be a character though. I wonder what he really talks like
Dideric van den Berg What playlist? Where can I find it?
that’s exactly what i do every night
the subtle brilliance of his comedy in this video deserves a score of ok... ok.... ok... ok... ok... ok... ok.... ok... ok.... ok.... 10 oks... is a perfect score.
It’s the sincerity of Joe Pera that really makes his comedy work. Granted, I have no doubt that he exaggerates what he is saying, but I truly believe everything that he says.
Fucking lost it at the oks XD lmao they were just staring at him like wtf lol
lmaooo

Joe Pera is god's greatest gift on humanity.

Dude. oreo
@@a-town7994 Home run.
Gus is the 32nd most popular dog name, get it right.
I didn't think it was possible to achieve full body cramps from laughing so hard
Yet here we are
OMG, my favorite thiccboi Jon Sudano! Life is good.
are you joe's friend jon? the lions club member?
600 pound's of body cramps?
Remember, it’s for charity
@@johnLennon255 yeaah don't think those cramps are from laughing

"After Dave was finished busting balls" I lost my shit there too funny man
Legit thought it was ringo

Lighthouses too⚓
Don't forget about his love for when ladies lose their bikini tops when water skiing. He said it's a joke but we know there's truth to every joke.
Hank Hill would have a beer with this man.
Hank "Yep"
Joe "Ok"
I hate to break it to you, but Hank Hill is a cartoon, so he can never have breakfast with this man.
Love to break it to you Joe Pera is also a cartoon character. Lets make it hapn.
“This ones for the guys”
Does Joe even drink beer?
bruh hank's all i can think about when watching joe! lol his strong opinions about mundane stuff and general laid-back-ness
Nice Twin Peaks reference at 3:25 it makes it even more wholesome. In fact just imagine Joe Perra having donuts and coffee with agent Dale Cooper and the guys at the station! Pure gold
This is the best thing I've seen from MTV in a REALLY long time.
This is like comedic asmr, I love it!
The workers reaction when Joe gave them “10 Okays” haha
He's right. It really does pay to have friends in the kitchen.
I like that the fire chief was clearly nervous, Joe tells him a story and he instantly lightened up
i’ve been seeing videos of him and idk man he just makes me feel cozy and like someone is giving me a hug
As an upstate NY native, Joe Pera is becoming my new hero
10 okays. Perfect score. : I
what am i doing with my life
i should be out there, finding pancakes
Will Cook r
Good things
Harmonize with your boys
We all should be
Those pancakes are out there...
all you've got to do is find them.
Anyone else in 2019 barely discovering this guy from the joe Talks you to sleep Video ?
bro this shit has me rolling. only just found out about this guy like ten minutes ago, and from an ad on instagram no less.
Yeah
@@daddy8914 no regrets tho right? Lol
It’s nearly the end of 2021 and I’m loving finding him.
He's so convincing and so committed that when I first saw his act I thought he may have early onset Parkinson's or muscular dystrophy.
(I have friends who have both) He's wonderful!!
CEO: "Gentlemen we did it! We transformed opioids into video form."
Employees: no applause, just approving smiles and slow nodding
Joe Pera has an ASMR vibe to him. As someone with severe anxiety, watching this sort of calms me down.
Don't you just love how everyone's so nice to JoePera
I discovered him only today, but I think I genuinely love him. He’s like a walking hug. I need Joe. We all need Joe.
the sheer excitement on joe’s face when he was told you can put chocolate chips in pancakes
The editing and especially music just add to the subtle brilliance. What a treat.
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
NitroPulse TV ok
NitroPulse TV okay
okay
Rivals pewds mem ratings
Lol they looked so unenthused to hear this lol.
I feel like I'm listening and watching a video of my grandpa when he was younger, the accent, the clothes, the sense of humor, I wanna cry man
If Joe Pera did a ASMR podcast he'd make an absolute killing. Such a calming voice.
It's good that MTV is giving jobs to the elderly.
haha my thoughts exactly
MEALS ON WHEELS - Rusty, 2014
Josh Wojcik meals on wheels
His voice relaxes me. I could listen to it all day.
John Pera reminds me of Salad Fingers; in the awkward endearing characteristics, not in the closet cannibal ones.
"what's your favorite part about the breakfast?"
"oh I like the sausage"
*flute plays while Joe nods solemnly in agreement
The funny part is that you can kind of see the “of course” and the disappointment in his face because he wanted him to say pancakes.
I shouldn't get ahead of myself, but I think I'm really going to like this.
I Think i have never seen anyone more happy than this kid receiving his pancakes. The amount of joy on his face is incredible
I love Joe Pera!!! Joe Pera Talks With You is a very nice calm amazing piece of art
I cant figure out why I love this so much
"Short-distance travel" 😂
Omg this show is so detailed! I discover more and more subtle jokes everytime I repeat it.
This was surprisingly sweet - ok, I cried. We have pancake breakfasts here too. Last year's was dedicated to our friend, Sharon...
I love Joe Pera. I can’t explain it but he absolutely fascinates me.
i love how he pulls out notecards for his interview questions, and his first one is just: "What is breakfast?" Hahahah
4:12 the way they look at him reminds me of when I told my family I was moving to Hollywood to pursue an acting career
The brilliance of this is far too much to handle. I love it.
maybe i wasn't ready for such wholesome content in 2014, but now. ouuuffffff. too good. too sweet. god bless you, joe.
PLEASE. MORE.
the shot of him throwing the leaves followed by the shot of them falling, with him saying Shawangunk translated means "in the smoky air" gets me every time

Still doing ok?
Hope you're still doing well, buddy.

the okay rating system is harsh I once got 7 okays for some sloppy johns I made for my mom but seemed like good here
zgress *Sloppy Joes
Maybe that is why only seven okays were awarded...
“Oh, I like the sausage.”
Joe Pera: Understanding nod and agreement
Hi. It’s 2019. Joe Pera’s dulcet tones put me to sleep back in 2014 and I just woke up. He’s the best. Ok. It’s getting late.... good night
His wisdom with the beautiful ambient music is absolutely magical
“Even if they raise the price to $7.50... I hope they don’t...”
This is one of the most wholesome things I have ever seen
Bro, how old are you?
Joe Pera: somewhere between 10 and 80
I'm convinced that this world is not ready for Joe Pera, but we're very fortunate to have him
This is great! I want more of these!
one of the most genuine "wow"s I have ever heard
"Chocolate chips?"
"We can do that."
"...wow."
His voice is a like a stick of butter melting on my soul..👌X 10
"What did you have in mind?"
"Chocolate chips?"
"We can do that."
"...Wow"
i come back to this video at least once a year because of how aptly it shows what it's like to live in upstate new york. love it
Looks like almost all of the town of Shawaganuk has viewed the video. Way to go Joe!
2:04 I'm impeccably transcended back to my own childhood. Feels like breakfast with mom and dad again.
I will be back, even it they raise the price to 7.50! But I hope they don't! - joe pera
and they didn't... they raised it to 8$
I cannot believe I just discovered Joe Pera. This man is fantastic.
Anyone else burst out laughing during the “okay” ratings 🤣🤣
Joe is one of those guys that makes you feel amazing if you can make him smile 😊
Love the subtle body mannerisms such as not knowing what to do with his hands, constantly shifting weight, slight fidgets, and the really stiff gait in his walk
I can’t get enough of this man
They put sausage in the pancakes for me, so I guess it pays to have friends in the kitchen. 😆 👍 🍽
These are my go to videos when im anxious. They just calm me down so much.
He's a troll that somehow makes everybody's day a little bit better.
He's a positivity troll.
He has the best voice in the world, dare I say
