- Growing up poor in a trailer park has its perks. Comedian Dusty Slay explains that life is hard and that’s why it’s important to always have a good time anyway.

He can be seen on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Comedy Central, the Grand Ole Opry and was voted Top 10 Comics to Watch by Variety Magazine in 2019.

Who else came here after watching his Netflix special
Yeeees
Had to confirm the opening
Yes. Did not disappoint 😂😂 We're having a good time. ❤
Yep
Yes!
Just saw him in December (for second time!). He's SO funny!!
on Dusty's special he said to not watch this ted talk, so i knew i had to immediately watch it. this guy never disappoints
Did you have a good time?
@@nt9389 I'm doin' alright.
Yeah I’ve got to agree with that too but surely it was meant for people to look up especially with information is so easily available now, and that was like shooting fish in the proverbial barrel 😂🥳
Same!
@@MagentaOtterTravels wonder just how many times Dusty’s looked at all the comments and he’s working us like little marionettes! I mean after all, what’s the first thing we learned from our parents… “DO NOT tell us what NOT to do! We will use that information to sneak into doing what daddy wanted to catch us at!!
Who is here from Netflix to hear the David’s Bridal poop joke with no context?
Yes that is actually the exact reason I decided to come here
I can't believe it's really.on here haha
Dusty's Netflix special sent me here. Anyone else? He is a funny guy!
Yes !
We're all here from Dusty's special Kelley.
Dusty is the last guy I thought I would see on a Ted Talk . Great job Dusty
Word!
On god!
I had to double check hahah
We're having a good time.
Legitimately.
Well, he and Anthony Jeselnick.
"I'm like a third base coach up here. Just trying to get you home." Is a nice line
A lot of jokes were Hi-larious here; but that IS my favie! Clever and funny😍
...especially when he created the visual for people who know nothing about baseball.
I recently started telling myself even when life isnt so good that, "we're having a good time". It actually works!
I need to do that

I will try it too.
“Maybe you just need some regular breaths.”
Advice for the whole world.
@@gizengar111 do eeet
By far my favorite comedian. You can tell he was super uncomfortable up there, but he kept going and I love him for it.
I believe that is part of his act
@@robertlucas3749 No, he was definitely uncomfortable. But, he was havin' a good time.
@@robertlucas3749It is part of his act, But he doesn't usually mention it explicitly. So you might have been a little more nervous than usual, but that's part of the thrill. Turning a different audience than you usually would.
Yes!!
Another man of culture. I picked up on that and am inspired because of that.
Well as he said in his recent Netflix special he forgot his speech two minutes in and had to freestyle😊
His nervousness adds to his charm. Reminds me of Mitch Hedberg.
Yes!!! I thought the same!
Me too!@@sophiesnooks
He is like a new age Mitch Hedberg.
Rest in peace to Mitch he’s hilarious
Just came from the Netflix special to hear him say “I pooped at a David’s Bridal quite a few times.” 🤣🤣🤣
I literally quit my job because of this. Best decision of my life. Thank you Dusty!!!
How was your two-weeks' notice?
@@finnhaverkamp * 3 to 6 month notice
@@erickandrade1921 it's a reference to a dusty jokr
You luck with everything
@@finnhaverkamp Just did my 20 second notice 😂
I was very depressed at my job in 2016. I was also a huge fan of The Office. I wished I loved my job as much as Michael and Dwight. I started pretending I did, focused on the positive aspects instead of the negative, and it completely changed my outlook and happiness.
All about re-wiring our brains! ☝🏽✨
They legit just left in that pooping in a David's Bridal bit 😂
"I control whether I'm having a good time just by telling myself I'm having a good time." This is it.
Am I the only one that felt the crowd was actually quite into it? They weren’t laughing all the time but I think that’s because with his amazing style of comedy you are also listening with interest…
He's got an iconic voice even without the clever humor. Love it. Be a great radio personality
I thought the crowd was into it , they were having a good time
I think that fits his style. Story teller
It seemed to me that they were havin a good time.
They were totally into it. He had them in the palm of his hand. As the great Norm MacDonald said, it's easy to make people laugh. What's hard is to make them smile.
Good comedy, good message, crowd laughed a lot, they were alright, was a good time
I love how he says “ I want to make people laugh! I want you to leave this place feeling good about yourself! ” ♥️
Gratitude will save us all. WE'RE HAVING A GOOD TIME
My favorite comedian. Thanks for the laughs. I’m having a good time!
When I'm listening to Dusty, I'm always having a good time. My man! 👍
I would rather be happy with a few things versus unhappy chasing a bunch of material things. - such great advice, well done!
Being happy WITH a bunch of material things is the best though ✋
People who are watching UA-cam videos are unhappy, happy people are doing something else.
No, no. How are you supposed to know you're winning, if you don't have lots of things?
True that. Simplicity key. Buying stuff to impress people you don’t care about, too much work, moving target. Contributing to third world labor buying stuff you don’t need.
@@mannyechaluce3814 That's a bit harsh...Maybe if a person watches UA-cam videos all day that might tend to be true. I've watched UA-cam through good times and bad personally.
I appreciate comedians who are funny and clean. Thanks Dusty
I'm here from Workin' Man and we saw and met Dusty in Atlanta, in 2023. We're so happy for you, Dusty!
Dusty slay is by far my favorite comedian.
My dad told me about him one week ago, I can't stop searching for his performances. I am definitely going to go see Dusty slay every time he comes to Sacramento. Please come to Sacramento!
You're so smooth your audience doesn't even realize you're pulling double duty as their psychologist and subconsciously helping them purge all those pent up emotions and anxiety stricken fears of are they good enough to be in the live audience of a dusty slay comedy deluxe grand slam with constant positive reinforcement reminders hey we're having a good time and no other professional comedian offers that at no extra charge. Go Dusty !!!
The purest form of comedy is satire, hands down. It takes intelligence and cleverness to take you from one point to a place where you never knew was so funny and true! Sense of humor, " Don't leave home without it."
Netflix special brought me here. 80 percent of the jokes from the special was in this talk with a couple of minutes of what I would call behind the scenes of his story as a comedian.
Overall I enjoyed this Ted talk and I’m off to find the lady that poops at David’s bridal.
That custody battle joke caught me off guard! 🤣
Very funny and creative this guy
I have heard it 100 times and still laugh every time
Best joke I have pooped in a lot of david’s bridals haha
This is about to get A LOT more views...Loved the open! Who hasn't pooped at a David's Bridal?
Here because Dusty said not to watch it in his Netflix special 😂
We're always having a good time when Dusty Slay is on!
I think I speak for everyone here when I say : We had a good time!
Dusty is my new favourite comedian!🤣🤣
This is my dream and goal... To do a TEDx talk... I set it as my 10 year goal once I got sober... I used to do stand up, but alcohol brought me down after 3 years... So, this was encouraging to see how it's done with another comedian.
Thanks Dusty...
I used to do standup. I still do, but I used to too.
@@finnhaverkamp that's freaking hilarious...
One of my favorite Mitch jokes adapted perfectly for my comment. I got a good chuckle out of that thanks!
No this is A+work right here 100% listen for the message it's there
My son & husband are seeing him at Zanies soon and I am so excited for them. He is by far my favorite comedian ever. There’s more to him that comedy and he’s really figured it out.
I just admire Dusty he's real and funny af 🤘 hands down one of my favorite comics!
Dusty is an amazing commedian.....he deserves a netflix special.
Just came out on Netflix: “Workin Man”
aaannnd, there ya go. Alright, we're havin' a good time
@@paulmarchano7238 YES!
@@paulmarchano7238I'm watching right now! It's how I found this actually
Love you Dusty! My dad had a 1990 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe growing up then it became my first car. I did not know its NASCAR history but you showed it at the end of your special and I really appreciate that as my father passed away nearly 10 years ago. It was like he was reaching out, just like Alan Kulwicki.
DUSTY!! Elevating TED Talk to an even hire level of prestige than what it was, great job!! I agree 100% with your message. So much so, I took an early retirement and walked away from $50K per year, made adjustments in my life to be able to live comfortably off lesser fixed income, eliminating stress, doing volunteer work, and simply enjoying life with my wife. P.S. I also lived in a trailer park for a while when I was a kid ;)
Yeah man, we know you lived in a a trailer park...you said 'hire' instead of 'higher'. All good tho, I did too. Hope you've grown and absorbed other Ted talks this past year. We're all rooting for ya buddy. 😆 I'm just picking at ya tho.
No yiu kook....TED and TEDx talks have always been elevated.
Dusty was actually bombing in this set...but you're intelligence is interesting.
Bruh I was literally confused why he said that in the beginning until I watched working man on Netflix and he explained why he said he pooped in a David’s bridal 😭
Came for the David’s Bridal bring-back and it did not disappoint!
"you don't need to see this" (hahahaha, I died)
Came here after the Netflix special lmao.
Someone at Uni showed up an hour late with mcdonalds in her hand... Never laughed so hard, we were havin a good time.
dead crowd, dusty is awesome
Yeah, I feel he did way better than they gave him
Maybe the crowd doesn’t understand the low income way of life.
It's a ted talk style talk not normal comedy routine, the point of it is to deliver a good message of life to help others find a good mindset, dusty did throw jokes but his message was to always look for something to be happy in always cause we're having a good time🤙🏼
Dead? I thought it said Ted?
BRILLIANT 😂 Came here from his Netflix special and I am a fan!
The special on Netflix is great
“You only get 2 Dui’s don’t waste one on a buzz. “-- amazing and terrible all in one lol
😂who’s here because his special that explains the context of the beginning of the talk?? 🙋🏻♂️
This was a timely message. Even better because it was genuine.
“I don’t think it’s working, try some regular breaths” I hadn’t heard Dusty do that one before. I’m so glad he did it at the end. It was a good standup speech. But that last joke had me laughing so much.
Yeah, that was awesome
I'm that guy.
This was fantastic, the best of his material in one show 👏 we're having a good time
Dusty has a lot more material than what is in this video.
He is a solid comic that is going to be around for a long time.
I can't wait until they give him a movie.
TMike sent me here. Long way since Big Gun. So proud of you Dusty!
"Yeah... There's a point here" lmfao
Such a great comic, he keeps having fresh thoughts just when you think he's done. One of my favorites.
We are having a good time Dusty.
Who else is here from the Netflix stand up special?
Weird that this would pop up on my feed on the day I’m trying to decide whether to keep climbing the ranks in a career I hate or change course and do something I love that doesn’t earn jack! Great show in Huntsville a little while ago, Dusty. Thanks for helping me make up my mind 🤗
Omg he's right. I saw him live tonight and he pointed out that they left in the comment about David's Bridal and it makes absolutely no sense because there is no context 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had to read the title of this thing several times because I couldn't believe that I was seeing Dusty at TED talk
Love Dusty and his comedy!
Love you Dusty!! Thanks for the message and the laughs. Nice to see a comedian even make an attempt at something like this. I’m having a good time man
At 15:41 when you say “that feels like I really hit a point there.” Was amazing 😂😂😂 I was gut laughing at that. So good. Push through all the awkward, reminding people you have a point to this, and then hit that profound banger of a line. Then to comment on it and be proud of that line out loud is hilarious. Love you Dusty!
Lmaaooo it’s just exactly as he described, improvising 🤣💀 he could’ve taken the notebook with him? 😁 to not stress and read what he was going to say
Dusty Slay on Ted talks...gotta go and listen to the legend!
The part that’s funny is that he actually did make a good point, as a fan of his I can understand his method of delivering said point. If that crowd had never seen him before (obviously not) they’re not going to pick up on the fact that he’s actually being positive lol
That ending was a banger!! I think that room might not have know we're having a good time. I loved hearing some stuff I hadn't heard before
Dusty is one of my favorite comedians by far
thankful for being 4 days late bc i needed this right now
Great message. Dusty is hilarious. Will see him live one day.
Watching Dusty working man and came here at 31 mins in lol. "We're having a good time".
I just found this guy. I'm a fan now. Really, REALLY funny.
I would love to see him on Theo Vons podcast
That would be perfect actually. They could be long lost cousins lol
My favorite comic these days
I loved it. Even when he got nervous he was able to reel it in to make his point. Great episode.
He was a waiter, now look at him , Proud of you man👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤
I had to come and see after watching his Netflix show, and they DID leave the pooping at David's Bridal in there! 😆
The wife & I had a good time watching this TED Talk. Thanks Dusty!! 🙏🙌
Indeed, we all should know a good time. Perfect set, Thanks Dusty.
Dusty's story about the military is great!
LOL there is zero context to that opening. So good.😂
"maybe you just need some regular breaths" 🤣🤣
I love his delivery. Funny guy.
Just saw Dusty in Austin tonight. Great show! Came to check out his TED talk after he mentioned it in his act.
Same here! It was my first live comedy show, and I think dusty and crew set the bar pretty high.
Dusty you are the greatest Comedian!!
Just recently discovered Dusty Slay… Great stuff. I’m having a good time
Dusty is awesome. This crowd wasn’t ready for the freight train that hit ‘em.
They had no idea...
This is awesome, just saw Dusty pop up on my feed recently and his sets are awesome. I hope I can catch a live show soon.
Lol came from working man special 😂😂🎉
Here from Netflix 😂
Love Dusty and his observations!
You're great Dusty!😂
I love Dusty. I saw him at the DC Improv in November 2022 and he explained that the speaker before him told a story about pooping in a David’s Bridal. So that comment didn’t come out of no where as it appears. Amazing Ted Talk. Thanks Dusty - had a great time!
dusty my new fave since i discovered him! so thankful for you my favorite 3rd base coach/ comedian
You were so great!
I'm shocked the crowd wasn't going crazy.
I am so happy Dusty Slay is giving a Ted Talk! Come to Boston, Dusty!
Don’t come to Boston anymore, I live in Nashville now! Okay, well, still go to Boston, everyone I show your stuff to loves you.
Dusty's 'David's Bridal poop joke' from his Netflix special left me struggling to breathe so I had to come here to verify 🤣😭🤣
This guy is so funny. At 4:55 he says "we ARE having a good time...don't forget" and I died laughing.
His episode on "the Standups" on Netflix is hilarious.
Good job Dusty, love ur positivity
I Love you.... Keep on keeping on . im having a good time
