I resonate with George's piss anxiety, regardless of how empty or full the toilets are, gotta wait for the cubicle. Can't even piss in a urinal if i tried :(
I grew up in a world of homophobia in the 1970s and 80s. It’s SO incredible to hear random people in a crowd these days taking somebody to task for their ridiculous perspective on gay people. My late mother asked me when I decided to be gay, and I told her it was obviously the day on which I decided to trade in all the benefits of being a privileged white male on track for a lucrative professional career in North America in order to become a stigmatized global scourge. I then asked her when she decided to be heterosexual, if there’s an active choice to be made. She never asked again. Some stuff just ain’t that complex if you actually take a big step back and clean your brain’s glasses.
That is the issue homophobes don't seem to understand. If it was truly a choice then why would we chose to be persecuted. The choice lays with the haters, they get to choose whether to hate someone because they don't understand them or accept them because they are fellow humans. The choice thing makes me laugh though, when someone straight tells me it is a choice then I say to them "So you were also considering being gay too?, what made you choose the straight path?"
I love standups just getting angry and who start whining & swearing when folk dont find them funny. It feeds that need for second hand embarrassment one sometimes gets 😅 I also remember "bicep comedian" from back when penguinz0 brought him up, and it's still a great crash & burn 😂
The guy reading from his notes was so deadpan and funny but the audience weren't ready haha. The last guy I think was Bobby Mair. He's a really decent and funny guy so I'm assuming it was a typical corporate gig with a load of pissed up arseholes. Was kinda cringe how long he was like "I'm going now..." but he looked rattled af so I don't blame him
I’ve never struggled through a George Memeulous video before, but the amount of second-hand embarrassment I got from the stand-up ‘comedy’ was unfathomable.
To be fair the heckler was pretty stupid, her being a woman liking sucking cock has nothing to do with the point he was raising that as a man it is weird to want to suck a cock. It wasn't exactly a wildly hilarious take but her response was moronic and only got a response from the crowd because they don't like the guy and she heckled him... plus he went on to respond to her pretty quickly, again not original, but he had something at least, he wasn't flustered, George even cut him off and edited himself over it just to ram home the point and not let anyone think the comedian might be telling a funny joke (for once, he seemed all over the place at the start, maybe he's better on his toes doing audience work) Also isn't really a "phobia" that comes from the Greek for fear, it was co-opted to deligitimise criticism of a group by making it seem like it only comes from being afraid of something, but nobody is really scared of them, it's more of an intolerance if you wanted to be pedantic.
I hate watching people struggle on stage it causes physical pain. How do their friends and family not vet their material ahead of time and tell them this is bad.
dude piss anxiety is so real, worst I've had it was when I had to piss SO bad it hurt, but we were outside so I had to do it in the bushes, but it was literally impossible, I don't get it, why is this a thing??
Dude I relate to the having to wait for a cubicle embarrassment but I’m a trans guy so imagine how I feel having no choice but to do that 😭 piss anxiety solidarity ✊🏻
I mean, you could always tell people you have to shit if they ask while you're waiting, lol But I get it, trans guy here too and waiting for the stalls sucks
i have been having a hard time with my anxiety lately, and your videos are one of the few things that are helping me feel a bit better🫶🏼 i even put you on before i fall asleep just to wind down my heartbeat and be able to calm down a bit., you’re not just funny i can tell you’re also a very genuine guy, keep up the good work george
He used to be funny, crap now. Seen him on various comedy/panel shows in the Uk for years he’s always the same. Acts never changed, no real punchlines or witty stuff just shock value. Last I seen of him on tv he hosted some crap show on Dave, now he plays in pubs.
Honestly, it’s kinda expected at a lot of open mic events you’ll be kind of rubbish. There’s a reason those events are usually free. Seeing the awkward stuff is kinda part of the charm though. It’s also a good experience to build confidence and potentially to meet new people. So I’d recommend giving it a go. Just in case you or anyone else reading this in future genuinely wants to try standup, even just once, I’ll offer some advice. The crowd is there wanting to laugh by default, they’re often kind of tipsy because the venues typically sell drinks, and laughter is social so a lot of people will laugh and enjoy themselves largely because of the vibes. Vibes I’d argue are often more important for stand up than having a quality joke because people usually want to laugh if you keep the mood up. The best advice is to avoid controversial subject matter and offensive language (including excessive swearing) because unless you’ve got a decent amount of respect from the audience you probably wont be able to pull it off without just killing the vibe. Hecklers are usually well meaning but drunk and not understanding they shouldn’t interrupt, so best to ignore them initially. Either they’ll get embarrassed and be quiet or potentially someone they’re there with will handle it. If they keep going and ignoring doesn’t help maybe politely shut them down potentially with a lighthearted joke (eg, this isn’t supposed to be a conversation, but I love your enthusiasm” if they keep going it’s typically best to ignore (not even look at them) and hope they get the picture. Security can remove people being out of hand if it escalates. It’s quite unusual for things to escalate though if you just ignore. As I said, most hecklers are well meaning people who’ve had a bit much to drink on their fun night out to a comedy show. They think they’re joining in on the fun, so being ignore is usually enough to make them realise “oh, I’m making a fool of myself” but without killing the vibe and flow of your set.
@@DroneCentralUK oh the one with the moustache? Are we talking actual children here or 16-18 ? Then again, the moustache should have been a give away, that an his obsession with making peadophilia jokes about other people so casually.
10:25 continuing with his set pretty flawlessly actually, the guy has some talent, that's really the best thing you can do when you aren't Jimmy Carr or Frankie Boyle who have paid security to remove anyone who keeps heckling them (usually they will joke back once and then after that they give a cut off word like "fuck off" which gets a small laugh but is actually code for security to remove the person because you can't have them derailing the whole show) It's easy for the heckler to just shout "you're shit, get off!" or whatever AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, so really all you can do is carry on with your set and hope the rest of the audience get interested enough in your set that they deal with the heckler (either glaring at them, telling them to shut the fuck up, or physically hitting them/throwing them out/beating them into unconsciousness if they're REALLY drunk and won't stop)
George please watch Kill Tony, the best and worst stand up work there ever was. The idea is they pick out a random person from a hat to give a minute on stage to do their own material. Special guests include Joe Rogan high on mushrooms
@@BenCarr77 Haha that's so funny, i live here and am involved in theatre so I've done loads of shows there too. Never thought i'd see it in a memeulous video

Or NOT seeing yourself in a video like this. 🤣

For those that are wondering who the guy at 11:00 was, his channel is Bloodthirsty Melon!
6:30 this guy has to be absolutely hammered
The last one is sad to see cause the guy is actually a pretty decent comedian
Every stand up comic has bad shows or bombs. I don't think he handled his particularly well.
He used to be funny, crap now. Seen him on various comedy/panel shows in the Uk for years he’s always the same. Acts never changed, no real punchlines or witty stuff just shock value. Last I seen of him on tv he hosted some crap show on Dave, now he plays in pubs.
11:20 this guy is actually hilarious he’s awesome
im convinced that the guy venting was so funny for no reason, get this man a therapist please
That guy reading off a note was fucking hilarious i hope hea doing good
Oh my god I couldn't believe when you pulled up Ben's video!! Met him years ago on a cadet camp, so nice to see him doing well!! x
I'm curious if your piss anxiety allows you to piss outside? Sounds like a nightmare.
Basically any form of pressure from the presence of others just shuts you down, so depends entirely on the situation as well as how much you need it
I can confirm it does not
‘You guys ever look through a window?
That’s the joke.’
Whenever i feel embarrased i will think of these stand up. There is always someone else out there making a bigger ass of themselves
Bro I ended up having to skip past most of these they where that painful 😭💀
I also have to wait for a cubicle, I’m glad I’m not the only one
Same
This is what validation must feel like
same man
does anyone know the name of the comic that did the thats what she said and fortune cookie joke
That was Pete Holmes?! Fuck, he legit has come a long way. Dude's great now, but I guess we can all be as funny as StephenTries at a young age

10:48 the joke was the guy himself
That last guy the American dude is actually hilarious
Every Lewis Buchan video ever = poor comedy attempt
8:15 I dont think george realised that was the whole joke
Its fine when theres nobody there using the urinals but when theres someone next to me i just wait for them to leave
George is such a cutie pie
someone finally speaks the truth
i cant use a urinal either lol though i was the only one, i will always wait for a cubical 😂
oscar worthy intro tbh
The best joke, which wasn't even meant to be one, was: I've got a bicep, I can meet a girl.
