      See, the jokes themselves aren't supposed to be funny He's supposed to bomb. However, what should bring the comedy is his delivery and how FUNNY he bombs, and that's also not there. That's the core of the gig. He does unfunny jokes with an unfunny delivery making for a very bad set. None of this is funny, even though it's supposed to.

    This was obviously an act. If anybody took this guy seriously or thinks the jokes in this aren't spot on humor, then you clearly missed the whole point of the joke.

      GabrielNovakStudios I'm reading all these comments and so many people are complaining about the title, completely missing the point of it all. How is it not obvious? It's fucking obvious.

    • @JazGalaxy
      @JazGalaxy 9 років тому +3

      +SpecialHandlingUnit It's not click bait. The comedian was basically an actor playing the role of "traumatized comedian with a bad act who is trying to start telling jokes after 10 years".
      People just read the headline wrong. or, rather, it's initially confusing.

    • @SpecialHandlingUnit
      @SpecialHandlingUnit 9 років тому +12

      he wasn't traumatized, his act wasn't bad, the title was intentionally misleading to get views: click bait.

    • @JazGalaxy
      @JazGalaxy 9 років тому +4

      The whole point of the act was that he was traumatized. That why he hadn't done jokes in 10 years. That's why all of his jokes were old and out of date. That's why he kept slipping and saying the wrong words.
      Again. I think you're confusing the actual standup comedian and the character he is playing in his act. The ACTOR was not traumatized. The ACTOR did not lose his wife in a fire. The CHARACTER was traumatized. THE CHARACTER was bombing. the fact that the audience was laughing at the comedian is irrelevant. They were laughing at the actor, not the character, whose jokes were not funny.

    • @SpecialHandlingUnit
      @SpecialHandlingUnit 9 років тому +7

      i realize that after i clicked, hence click bait, you state the obvious which just backs up my point....it's click bait. Title should read- Stand up Comedian does routine of being traumatized.... (:facepalm:) got to spell it out for you. I was expecting to see a comedian fail on stage, it's clear cut click bait.

      Is this funny comedy or norm Macdonald comedy? Ive recently seen a trend of people trying to explain how norm is a genius and how others dont get his comedy because they dont understand pure comedy. If thats the case that this guy is in the norm Macdonald league. Weird, unfunny and awkward.
