I have never seen someone avoid Seattle, WA so thoroughly. Must have been cursed by an evil West Coast warlock to never return or something. Welp, guess I'm never seeing Gianmarco live.
I've actually just watched a youtube video talking about that third bomb, which is now known as the demon core because it took the lives of two scientists who were studying and working on the core lmfao talk about coincidence 🫡
pointing out the group of people with brightly colored hair and correctly identifying them as the theater tech team was so funny, one girl looks just like my younger sister who was the theater tech for her high school productions
I was a foreign student in my college and there is something about the foreigners all hanging out together. It was like having a little surrogate family of people all trying to help each other cope with the ridiculousness of the country we were in. Even if you spoke tbe local language as a native speaker it applied.
Yes exactly. Its also that college was like the least of our troubles and we were all trying to survive, but other people didnt get that experience much less were able to help, cause theres a lot of things you dont think about if you're just from the country (which is normal). so you gotta talk to those who get it.
Interesting. I always thought it was just the Chinese international students that hung out together because they're so insular. I haven't seen many cross-nationality international friend groups.
@@fluffyunicorn57I went to a pretty large college and the international cliques were split by country of origin. Chinese students together, Indian students together, etc. I’m Russian and unfortunately Russians usually don’t like other Russians and seek to assimilate and disappear into the crowd ASAP when they come to the US. It’s a very lonely experience when you actually want to connect with people from your culture, but they all have the mindset of “I moved to get away from other Russians because I’m not like them” and don’t see the irony that it’s only the “not like the others” Russians that move here and you’d think we’d have a mutual understanding of it, but no. The goddamn “Russian bride” and “married for the Visa” stereotypes only made the matters worse. The tension between two Russian immigrant women meeting each other for the first time and trying to politely small-talk their way into finding out if either one of them married a US citizen to get in, so that they know whether they can look down upon each other is fucking horrible.
@@fluffyunicorn57from my time in college, it also depends on the types of club activities people are attracted to So the lines aren’t just drawn on nationality basis The other thing is dormitory/rent/etc. international students of certain college/uni might be huddled up together as regulars of nearby housing institutions whilst locals could live further or more spread out So some hangout spots become a lot more common for visiting foreigners than the locals
Gianmarco did you know that your "you miss a 100% of the shots you take" joke was what turned me into your fan 2 years ago. It is still my favorite joke by you.
Some Truman trivia: In an alternate universe, Truman State would be called Vincent Price University. The Price family trust was going to donate a few million dollars to make it happen, not sure if it wasn’t enough or if his name wasn’t sufficiently prestigious. I graduated the year the name was changed and have two diplomas with the different names.
I know this is a lie because there's no way Truman would pass up a million dollars. Are you kidding? They changed it from Northeast Missouri State because it sounded too much like a regional school and it was preventing them from getting grant money lmao
That's probably one of you your best crowd works imho. They were all great sports and the energy was amazing. That must've been a fun night for everybody.
i wish him more audiences like this one, they were engaged, fun, open, and even the heckling was good, they really seemed to be on the same wavelength. it felt like he was a TA who just found out he had to teach a class instead of the professor and decided to wing it, and his students love him
I was at this show! I can actually spot myself in the video. I’ll sometimes randomly remember you lying about taking an Uber lol. I’m so glad I got to see you live
11:16 if you’re reading this, person in the front row masking in Kirksville, MO, i have so much respect for you. COVID isn’t over no matter how much red states keep pretending! love from rural TN
@undeniablySomeGuy mom jeans sit higher than low rise jeans but they've got more give in the fit. They're what I'd describe as comfy jeans and I love them
From the “be nice” and “we talk like three times a year,” you get the sense that Sam and Thaddeus aren’t good friends but also have maybe lived together for multiple years. And that’s honestly what I like about most guys; they can be like eh, I don’t really like my roommate but we’re still going to live together next year, what am I gonna do, find a new roommate? Women could never 😂
Oh yeah these guys get along in a way that is indescribable, I don't think it's so much that they don't like each other more just that they both largely leave each other alone and that's the best thing that either of them could ask for in a roommate
Maybe that's how you see it as girls, but as a guy myself, I really hate this. When I transferred to a new school, I got a roommate who really never was interested in interacting with me, and as someone who's already kind of lonely and insecure, having the person that you're literally in the same small room with most of the time not seem to give a shit that you exist really makes it feel like no one gives a shit that you exist, especially being at a new school. Now I live alone, and I still don't feel like anyone at this school gives a shit that I exist, but at least I don't have to be reminded of that every time I turn my head and this stranger who's also my roommate is suddenly in my field of view. I feel like for a lot of people, your roommate is your first foothold to making friends and meeting people at your school, and because of him and other roommates like him, I've missed out on a lot of that. In my experience, it's so much harder to make connections in a social setting if you show up alone vs already knowing at least one other person there. I like his point about "your professors should be doing this," I've been going to this school for a year and a half, and I've never made a single friend here, and it's not as if I haven't been trying. At that point, I feel like a big part of the responsibility is on the school
@desertgrape7801 I get that, especially if you’re on the shy side, it can be really discouraging, and a lot of guys are douchebags. You sound really disheartened and that sucks, I’m sorry you’re feeling that way. I work with high school and college students so I have a little advice I’d like to share, please disregard if you’re not looking for that, I just hate to see anyone not get what they want out of their college experience. If you’re living alone now, make sure you don’t spend all your time in your room. Go to events your RA puts on if you’re still on campus, people go to those to meet other people in their building. You can even tell your RA you’re having trouble meeting people and they can help introduce you to people in a way that doesn’t feel forced. Trust me, that’s the part of the job most RAs like, not enforcing rules. It can feel awkward but if you show up to something alone, just ask if you can sit with people who seem friendly, most people aren’t like your former roommate. Even saying “hey do you mind if I join you guys, I don’t know anyone here,” most people will say yes (and anyone who doesn’t isn’t the kind of person you want as a friend). Don’t let it deter you if the first people you meet don’t turn out to be a good fit, your people are out there. Being vulnerable is hard, but straight up telling people you’re shy and have had a hard time meeting people can go a long way. As an introvert, the best advice my extrovert brother ever gave me on how to make new friends as an adult is to make friends with an extrovert. They tend to have a “the more the merrier” mentality, and then you can become friends with their other introverted friends. It’s how a lot of us introverts find each other. And telling a friendly extrovert you don’t know many people and are trying to meet more isn’t awkward to them at all, they love meeting new people and introducing all their friends. Again, the majority of people aren’t jerks and a lot people are still figuring it out in their second year, you’re not alone. It’s really common for people to latch onto a group their freshman year because they live near each other or have classes together, then during sophomore year, a lot of them realize they don’t have much in common and start to look for people they have more in common with. People who didn’t join much freshman year start to look for clubs and such sophomore year, join a club in something you’re interested in, again, a lot of people do that to meet people. I hope some of this can be helpful to you and you’re able to make some new friends, don’t give up on it!
@@mylifeontheElist First of all, thanks for putting so much thought into this! I really appreciate it, regardless of what I might have to say about it. But, this isn't my sophomore year, this is my sixth year, and just about everything you've mentioned I've tried or at least thought about, and I've never really had much luck. Plus, after this week I only have two semesters left before I'm done with school. I really do think my best strategy at this point is to basically give up on making friends, and try figure out ways to enjoy the rest of my time here to the best of my ability without them. Once I'm in the workforce I'll have to start all over again anyway. I won't completely close myself off to the possibility, but I won't try putting a lot of energy into it. I've discussed this with my parents, and although they wish this isn't how things were, they do agree. As a far as RAs go, I've noticed that women RAs are on a completely different level than male RAs. I can't go to "events my RA puts on," because he's never put on any, and my RA last year didn't either. I told my RA last year that I didn't have any friends on campus, and all I got from that was at the end of the year, as I was moving out, he said he was sorry that I had a shitty year and that he never did anything about it. In my experience, male RAs don't like any part of the job, they're just there for a cheap place to live, and try to get away with doing the least they can. And, "they can help introduce you to people in a way that doesn’t feel forced"? That would imply that my RAs have decent social skills, imagine that. This dorm is all single unit rooms, and except for a couple times I've seen one specific guy alone in the basement computer lab, I'm the only person I've ever seen in any of the common areas. All the lounges, study rooms, the kitchen and eating area in the basement, the pool, ping pong, and Foosball tables, all completely deserted, even on Friday or Saturday evenings. I kind of feel like everyone living here must either have friends that live elsewhere, and that's where they go to hang out, or, they're like me, they don't have friends, and they've given up. There is one floor that's girls, I wonder if it's any different there, I really don't know. In any case, it just makes me feel like there is no community here, and it's kind of unsettling. I've tried going to on-campus events, I've joined clubs, but nothing has really ever worked. I actually just realized recently that in all my years of being in clubs, since I first joined 4-H when I was 7, I've never made a friend in a club. I've made acquaintances, and I've enjoyed spending time with friends I had already made before we both joined the club, but I've never made a friend. And I almost always leave on-campus events feeling more lonely than when I showed up. I've tried directly telling people that I don't have any friends, but it changes how they see me, and suddenly I'm someone to be pitied and helped, and not someone they'd ever want to be friends with. They might try to help, but no one has ever managed to be effective. I've heard the "make one friend, and then make friends through them" idea before, but it kind of feels like a chicken and the egg problem. It's like telling a homeless person, "I was really struggling with finances one time, too, and I took out a home equity line of credit, and that really helped me out of the jam". Like, in my first year here, I was assigned a peer mentor, and one time around Thanksgiving, he sent out a text asking how things were going for people, and I responded telling him that things really weren't good, that I didn't have any friends, and I was feeling really lonely, and he responded, saying that it was just my first semester, and that things would get better, and that he was in a similar situation after transferring, and his girlfriend really helped him and gave him the confidence and resources to make new friends and meet new people. Lots of tact on that one, especially considering that at this engineering school, a significant amount of the guys here will never be able to get girlfriends, just as a result of basic math. Maybe the majority of people aren't jerks, but when enough of them are that it feels like your efforts to make friends usually end with finding one, and you don't have any existing friends to vent to about it, it becomes very difficult to keep trying. All that being said, I did recently start working at the cafeteria on campus, and work is one of the few places that I actually have made friends before, so maybe that could be something. Plus, it forces me to get out and be social regularly and talk to people, even if I don't make friends with them. I'm also going to keep trying next semester to become involved with the radio station, maybe I'll actually be able to get a show, and that could be nice. Taking a step back from me, though, I think what Sam and Thaddeus have is fine, if both of them like it that way, but I would not be at all surprised if it's more one sided than that, and one of them wishes that they had a roommate who talked to them more, since I've been in that position multiple times
Man, this must have been such an unforgettable experience. And the fact that the college organized something like this is truly amazing. My university experience was so completely bland compared to this (my only highlight was the campus cats)
I can't believe you went to my alma mater. I'm glad Truman is still wonderfully weird. Also I used to work with international students when I was there, so love that you talked to a few. And they're telling the truth, they're there because it's cheap lol.
Thank you for continuing to talk about this. I am often left so speechless at the situation, it feels like no words are good enough, but silence isn't an option either
I think the thing that Thaddeus said, was actually very bro thing to say, because now every guy there knows, that this guy is quite popular with girls, so I belive, he actually meant it to be secretly pro his bro instead of being mean
Both the people above me are wrong, it's about the top shelf, I mean if I can't pick the jar on the top shelf, can I ever satisfy her in the bed? It connects
I have a theory on the back of my head that this is something related to you guys using the imperial system instead of the metric. It's like this fixation with 6 feet that would make no sense in Brazil for example. Yeah, I can see someone lying in here about their height, or being concerned about it, but usually a short guy dates short girls. As long as the guy is about the same height or taller most people will be fine. Nobody cares about how many centimeters a person have here the way americans do. There's such a small difference between 174cm and 182cm. But with the imperial system it seems like someone just could get there, wherever there is. And I wrote too much about this. But I had to throw this out. Thanks.
As a woman that’s 6ft, in my experience it’s the guys that have an issue with dating a woman that’s taller than them. But I’ve been married a while, so maybe that aspect of dating has been changing. I hope it has because it’s ridiculous to care so much whether the man or the woman is taller.
@@Annie_Annie__ yeah that's why lying about height is so stupid, a guy will be like "im 6'5" and then all the tall girls will go "wow! finally found someone taller than me!" and then show up and dwarf the liar, and now both parties are disappointed bc they all want the taller guy / shorter gal dynamic and wasted time because someone couldnt be honest
omg i'm half sicilian half albanian, and i Cannot perceive someone italian not knowing about albania. gianmarco, girl, albania is right across the water, by greece. there's a whole group of albanians living in italy with their own dialect it's called arberesh 😭 literally the air italia call center is in albania, & every time my mom has to call them for something she ends up bonding with the customer service people like "oh my daughter is shqiptar" 😭

I have never seen someone avoid Seattle, WA so thoroughly. Must have been cursed by an evil West Coast warlock to never return or something. Welp, guess I'm never seeing Gianmarco live.
Bro got that nyc date all figured out, can’t wait to see what he does there
What would it be like to bring you to Asia???
Boy those kids were a terrific audience -- that makes his job a lot easier
Truman State is one of the most self-hating universities in the entire Midwest, they are that shit up lol
Gianmarco stirring college drama is all I needed today. Thank you
Am here for it!!!
It took 79 years but Thaddeus finally dropped that last 3rd Truman bomb
I've actually just watched a youtube video talking about that third bomb, which is now known as the demon core because it took the lives of two scientists who were studying and working on the core lmfao talk about coincidence 🫡
Did he call him out (the pre med) as a play boi, or what was the drop? Just bop?
College shows are the best. I love unhinged comedians and unhinged audiences
Yeah that's one of the things I miss about college.
I want more!!
Oh wow, that “thing you hate most about your roommate” thing was like the opposite of a backhanded compliment/complinsult.
the crowd almost started moshing
Yeah first time I think I've seen the compliment sandwich, weaponised by picking different people for the criticism.
A backhanded insult
pointing out the group of people with brightly colored hair and correctly identifying them as the theater tech team was so funny, one girl looks just like my younger sister who was the theater tech for her high school productions

comedians who complain about not being able to do college crowds need to watch this
you can tell he's really missing a wall, just no chemistry with the curtain
Omg incredible stuff. I loved the convo w Thaddeus
More like Chaddeus
You're like a college kid whisperer (not in a weird way). That crowd adored you.

There is one floor that's girls, I wonder if it's any different there, I really don't know. In any case, it just makes me feel like there is no community here, and it's kind of unsettling.
I've tried going to on-campus events, I've joined clubs, but nothing has really ever worked. I actually just realized recently that in all my years of being in clubs, since I first joined 4-H when I was 7, I've never made a friend in a club. I've made acquaintances, and I've enjoyed spending time with friends I had already made before we both joined the club, but I've never made a friend. And I almost always leave on-campus events feeling more lonely than when I showed up. I've tried directly telling people that I don't have any friends, but it changes how they see me, and suddenly I'm someone to be pitied and helped, and not someone they'd ever want to be friends with. They might try to help, but no one has ever managed to be effective.
I've heard the "make one friend, and then make friends through them" idea before, but it kind of feels like a chicken and the egg problem. It's like telling a homeless person, "I was really struggling with finances one time, too, and I took out a home equity line of credit, and that really helped me out of the jam". Like, in my first year here, I was assigned a peer mentor, and one time around Thanksgiving, he sent out a text asking how things were going for people, and I responded telling him that things really weren't good, that I didn't have any friends, and I was feeling really lonely, and he responded, saying that it was just my first semester, and that things would get better, and that he was in a similar situation after transferring, and his girlfriend really helped him and gave him the confidence and resources to make new friends and meet new people. Lots of tact on that one, especially considering that at this engineering school, a significant amount of the guys here will never be able to get girlfriends, just as a result of basic math.
Maybe the majority of people aren't jerks, but when enough of them are that it feels like your efforts to make friends usually end with finding one, and you don't have any existing friends to vent to about it, it becomes very difficult to keep trying.
All that being said, I did recently start working at the cafeteria on campus, and work is one of the few places that I actually have made friends before, so maybe that could be something. Plus, it forces me to get out and be social regularly and talk to people, even if I don't make friends with them. I'm also going to keep trying next semester to become involved with the radio station, maybe I'll actually be able to get a show, and that could be nice.
Taking a step back from me, though, I think what Sam and Thaddeus have is fine, if both of them like it that way, but I would not be at all surprised if it's more one sided than that, and one of them wishes that they had a roommate who talked to them more, since I've been in that position multiple times
This is so unhinged! I love your interactions with the students ! xD
Man, this must have been such an unforgettable experience. And the fact that the college organized something like this is truly amazing. My university experience was so completely bland compared to this (my only highlight was the campus cats)
3:08 Nothing is more Gianmarco than having the camera pointing at the audience shoot better video than the one pointing at him.
oh this was fantastic. what a cozy general feel. I'd like to see him perform on more youth stages.
release the full cut how dare you tease me like this, this was so good
Oh wow, this was hilarious and weirdly wholesome in a way!
Thank you for putting open captions on this!
I can't believe you went to my alma mater. I'm glad Truman is still wonderfully weird. Also I used to work with international students when I was there, so love that you talked to a few. And they're telling the truth, they're there because it's cheap lol.
That part on Harry Truman (and Biden) was awesome!
"I'm Albanian." "I have no jokes about that, I didn't know it existed until just now." Thank God, I'm safe if I go to your shows 😂
Just because of that, he’s probably found some jokes to roast you with😂
This might be one of the funniest uploads you've done omg. Properly cracking up. The audience definitely helped with how chatty they were!
Dang, this was awesome! What great feedback from the audience. Please do more college shows!
I would love to see that entire set. Those kids were hilarious. Makes me wish that comedians ever came to my college.
Gianmarco Soresi, this videos deserves all the views
When you've watched so much gianmarco that you knew the basketball joke 😂 Still so funny
One of the best sets of yours I've seen! So fun :D
His laugh at 6:26 sounded so genuine 😅💖
That was some of the best crowd work I've ever seen.
The drama was SO good. Kinda biting and wholesome at the same time.
therapy session in group is cheaper then ig 😂
Dude I went to college here, graduated in 2018! Love your comedy and I'm glad to see them booking you :)
Thank you for continuing to talk about this. I am often left so speechless at the situation, it feels like no words are good enough, but silence isn't an option either
I hope this guy comes to europe again someday, I would be there in a heartbeat
crying, this is so funny, especially about the cheap part 🤣 Can't wait to see you in NYC!
Love the college clips so much more!! I hope there's more of this.
Omg this is exactly what i needed today hahahahaha😂😂😂 the roomates convo is just the best
These college students were full of personality and interesting stories. Amazing!
The best crowdwork in some time!
Taht was a hoot ! Thank goodness foe subtitles.
You can just tell how much he was enjoying doing the show
Hope you get to do world tours someday.
This is perfect. collage dráma and gemarcio. Stirring stuff up- ginarcio sturring up collage drama. Thanks. ❤😂🤣
I would love to have him come to my college and do this 😂😂
Damn, wish we had the whole show! Sounds like it was a blast
Please come to Germany some time! But not to Hannover. I'm very willing to take the train to a fun city to see your show
I saw him in Berlin last autumn
I laughed so much with this set 😄😄😄
Insane. Insanely good.
Bro, why aren't you mainstream yet?
lol him picking out the different groups in the crowd. so funny
College standup is so refreshing and wholesome
It doesn't always go this swimmingly. Unusually good crowd
@@GianmarcoSoresi As a college student, I salute your valience 🫡
Holy moly that was brilliant!
Gianmarco Grande
Love how the crowd goes absolute bananas at the end.
I'm recognizing the pattern: trauma -> student -> drama -> comedian -> special
I think the thing that Thaddeus said, was actually very bro thing to say, because now every guy there knows, that this guy is quite popular with girls, so I belive, he actually meant it to be secretly pro his bro instead of being mean
Or he wanted to advertise him to the girls!
I remember being in the audience for this show. Fun times
I wonder how is he going to reset his pose after each joke wirhout a wall to crawl on
How is college cheaper for international students? We're not known for accessible higher education
Some público universitys in other country pay exchange
Some public universitys in other countrys pay for exchange
Seeing myself in this video is so fucking surreal
"You miss 100% of the shots you take"
The gay people always know each other 😂(speaking from experience)
need you at college shows more often
Man, I need to see one of these in person sometime.
dudes a menace XD
More college content please!
College jokes hit so much better when in college
Nothing like a room full of undergrads to make you feel like you knew Noah personally.
This was so much fun! Also, I don't know why height is such a big deal. Like what's wrong with dating a guy who's shorter?
My hope is that people are more upset about the lying and not the height.
Both the people above me are wrong, it's about the top shelf, I mean if I can't pick the jar on the top shelf, can I ever satisfy her in the bed? It connects
I have a theory on the back of my head that this is something related to you guys using the imperial system instead of the metric. It's like this fixation with 6 feet that would make no sense in Brazil for example. Yeah, I can see someone lying in here about their height, or being concerned about it, but usually a short guy dates short girls. As long as the guy is about the same height or taller most people will be fine. Nobody cares about how many centimeters a person have here the way americans do. There's such a small difference between 174cm and 182cm. But with the imperial system it seems like someone just could get there, wherever there is. And I wrote too much about this. But I had to throw this out. Thanks.
As a woman that’s 6ft, in my experience it’s the guys that have an issue with dating a woman that’s taller than them.
But I’ve been married a while, so maybe that aspect of dating has been changing. I hope it has because it’s ridiculous to care so much whether the man or the woman is taller.
@@Annie_Annie__ yeah that's why lying about height is so stupid, a guy will be like "im 6'5" and then all the tall girls will go "wow! finally found someone taller than me!" and then show up and dwarf the liar, and now both parties are disappointed bc they all want the taller guy / shorter gal dynamic and wasted time because someone couldnt be honest
It's too dangerous to study the Mafia in Sicily.
i fuckin DIED laughing god damn dude
they were roomates
Thaddeus just telling us sam is in denial he actually knows who he really wants...
You should come to Buffalo, NY!
excellent stuff :)
And they were roommates
omg i'm half sicilian half albanian, and i Cannot perceive someone italian not knowing about albania. gianmarco, girl, albania is right across the water, by greece. there's a whole group of albanians living in italy with their own dialect it's called arberesh 😭 literally the air italia call center is in albania, & every time my mom has to call them for something she ends up bonding with the customer service people like "oh my daughter is shqiptar" 😭
He's just italian by heritage though, more American than anything
Please come to my uni! 🤣
that was fun.
