I went to college with this guy. He did stand-up for some open mic event and took us all on a "microphone parade" in which he took the mic and just walked around and outside of the building, the entire time singing "it's a microphoooone paraaaade". Definitely one of the most memorable acts I've seen. Happy to see he's doing well!
What's he like normally?
Does he talk like that normally
So hes always been this random
Important life questions here I'm afraid we won't get answered until we stand by heavens gate and can ask God himself.
I'm so jealous! I'm also super curious what he was like
Joe Pera's comedy is agressively mundane and it's actually comforting.
William Steeves I like to think of it as profoundly irreverent.
"aggressively mundane" .. may i borrow that?
Ought to make a "Slow Cooking with Joe Pera" show, just Joe watching some beans on the stove and reflecting on life.
@Ben Grimm you should introspect about that
@Ben Grimm you need more love in your life, you're psychologically malnourished
People like Joe because he's unabashedly earnest, and most everything nowadays is cynical irony. It is a breath of fresh air.
Very well said, couldn't agree more wit ya
Except he's not, because it's a character
He's either real, or its the most concincing and inscrutable character I think I've ever seen: I have real sympathy for his gentle awkwardness, because its that convincing.
Unabashedly making fun of old white ppl
@@deathkid510 He basically made up a goofy character out of the guy who made Still Life With Animated Dogs. The commitment to earnestness sells it though.. it's not funny for very long to take the piss out of genuinely nice people
"I'm sorry, I'm not doing the bit, what was the overall question?"
Brilliant
It feels so genuine modest
he's got such a wholesome vibe that i wanna cry
^*a bit, not the bit you dingleberry🤦♂️🤡
@@dakotaneumann1259 ^*genuinely, not genuine🤦♂️
he stays in character ya gotta give him that.
Stephen nails this interview too. He doesn't push the bits, doesn't cajole, doesn't tease. 100% in earnest. 100% wholesome. Joe Pera 2020.
He does Joe justice
yes! it's hard to do that on such "loud" programming. Example: the way Ellen handled ASMR (relaxing videos) on her show. She teased to the point of bullying and the community deservedly shamed her for her on-air mistreatment of something quiet and therapeutic for people. Joe's show is similarly therapeutic, and my respect for Stephen Colbert soared in how he handled the interview!
Seriously!!
Ellen as his VP
Right!?❤️❤️
We don’t deserve this man. We must protect him at all costs
haHAA
Start by making a genuine expression of how much you appreciate the subtleness and softness of his demeanor in this chaotic world, or something or other, rather than using meme text short hand for you expressions. You basically just gave Joe Pera the modern equivalent of "the man's a goddamn national treasure". Joe Pera deserves better, and he would like us all to be better, for ourselves and for others.
MonikerAddict not trying to be rude, and I don’t know your circumstances, but you may wanna relax a bit. Maybe go for a nice stroll like Joe does.
@@happyarewewhosmile joe pera is the new mr Rodgers
@@happyarewewhosmile I am copulating with your matriarch
Just found this guy last night randomly in my yt feed, joe pera talks you to sleep for 10 hours.
Hey same here bro
Me two lmao
P E R S P E C T I V E euhm okey haha! :)
Same here lol

Imagine: A reboot of "How It's Made" with Joe Pera narrating.
@@IguanaJoose "Hi. Hello. I'm Joe Pera. I was about to tell you how those are made, but I'm afraid I don't know what those are. Sorry. I think they are made from plastic... Maybe? I like watching how the belt carries them"
Lllllllllllllllol
@@crabofchaos7881 “Today we’re looking at how umbrellas are made. To keep you dry from harsh weather. Like how sometimes you need friends to keep you safe from harsh people.”
They would be my favorite show
That would be awesome!
They played Baba O'Riley for him, that makes me feel warm inside.
Weird how he didn’t start jumping on the couches...
Definitely Not Dingse! But it made him stumble on the steps:)
Tõnu Tamm right as he went for the thumbs up too
Call the radio station. Maybe they will play it again.
@@noeoep That was a great touch. Not overdone.
The funniest part of this interview is that Joe Pera didn’t make a single fucking joke, I love him.
he never does. he just talks about things with no hint of irony
Why don’t we have a beer next month? Brilliant joke.
Strategy Gaming I think he’s probably actually done that before
@@snappy_. Wait do you guys think this isn't an act?
The entire thing is a joke.
Imagine just being a mild mannered guy and everyone laughs at you
Humor is subjective. But to me, that makes me go,
"Are you guys okay"
i’m not sure if we’re on the same page but i didn’t like how they were laughing at pretty much everything. like they’d say the name of his show and there’s laughs and i’m over here like ‘what was funny?’ and idk his reaction to it was kinda like he didn’t expect people to laugh ??
@@user-jk1ts3iv8u i think that's his thing
I'm getting deja vu
@@user-jk1ts3iv8u I was thinking the exact same thing it’s so annoying
When he says, "I guess there's this thing called walking meditation, I just thought it was called walking," that's unironically some buddhist master level stuff right there.
Joe Pera is finally getting the recognition he deserves.
Yes
Adult swim stars are blowing up
Talks you to sleep and his comedy got me on board a year ago
Some of us do.
Yes. He is a legend.
I can’t believe Stephen had Joe Pera and he actually appreciates his type of comedy! I love Joe Pera talks you to sleep, the animated version!
I know he could talk ME to sleep
i love it too. very calming. 🤗
Yeah, how could Stephen Colbert of all people appreciate the type of comedy where someone plays a character... ^^
Stephen did voice acting and writing for the Adult Swim show Harvey Birdman way back in the early 2000s.
of course Stephen likes Joe Pera!!! Stephen LOVES awkward situations/humor
Dude mastered the art of comedy delivery, audience cannot withhold laughter yet he hasnt made a single joke, hats off to you joe pera
His technique of delivering a joke at a calm pace is brilliant. Plus his way of thinking is delightful
Sounds like a lot of canned laughter is added to the audio to me.
Colbert was awesome in this interview. He took him seriously, didnt act like a jerk. I know Joe probably gets a lot of shit for the way he is, but he's great.
I think its just an act lol
@@galadriel9473 i hope it isn't
Mynameisgone yeah it is haha i heard an phone call of him, and he talks normally there :D
It's just a character.
@@mynameisgone7274 unfortunately, its an act. He's from New York, but his character is the complete embodiment of the stereotypical Midwestern do-gooder. Its refreshing, actually. We need a wholesome character in the entertainment industry which is devoid of that very value.
Somehow he's extremely awkward, comforting, and witty all at the same time
Its called asburgers
@@cjhudson419 its a character though
Huhnet is it
Huhnet no
Its an act
Guys we’re getting a second Mr. Rogers and we don’t deserve it.
Lol. Maybe you don't. But our children sure do.
😭😭😭 Mr.Joe Pera
I thought the same thing 🙂
This feels like a story where a man is blessed to be forever funny no matter what
People are saying he’s playing a character. Is he? I always thought he had some problems like autism or anxiety
joes blushy nervous reaction when stephen asked him about his significant other is genuinely the sweetest thing ive seen in so long it made me so happy hes just so genuine
"I owe it to myself and my choir students not to get upset about barns." - Joe Pera
Grand slam
“I’ve got everything I could ask for”
*cue tears*
Forreal, every time :')
He got me on the hot chocolate walk
This was better than harmonizing with the boys
Nice
Eddie Murray I thought he said “harmonizing with your boys”
Amen
Great to sleep to...
BahahahananNanananN omg yes
Honestly, the moment when Stephen Colbert mentioned that he enjoyed the colors of bell peppers and thought, "something so beautiful exists in the world, maybe everything will be okay" just felt so sweet and endearing to me. I love that Joe brings that out of people
I met Joe Pera at an after party after he performed and I was shocked when I realized he's not playing a character... he was cool
He isn't playing a character? I'm happy to hear that! I know that as a comedian the concept of the self is confusing and there's a bajillion layers of irony and acting but I really hope that his positivity is real because it makes me happy and restores my hope.
@@elh7149 yup, I can confirm its no joke!
You mean, he is actually like this? This is his "real" persona?
@@mutalix no he is not actually like this
Or, he was in character at the after party just like he was for this interview.
Joe Pera is taking things down a few notches and I think that's what many people could use in our fast-living times.
Literally, I think that’s the main appeal. It’s just relaxing to watch his material when you’re winding down.
That and just giving the world something that’s not only funny but wholesome. There’s so much irony and negativity in comedy. This guys not making fun of anyone.
@@adelaidemcmillan3176 There's a quote mid-way through season 1 that he says "In fact, I hope I'm not remembered at all" which sounds a little depressing out of context but in context, it's kind of the representation of what you meant by your comforting theater experience. I think the way humanity is headed is creating a need for places and people that allow themselves to be exactly what they are already, without having to busy themselves and strive to be the most complex, loud and worshipped thing
He turns it up to 11. Which, on a broken dial, is actually just passing 10 and going back to 1.
The Mr. Rogers of stand up
Jack Climber Mr.Rogers had a purpose, his target audience were toddlers. Mr.Rogers also was more entertaining in his interviews.
I definitely felt the Rogers vibe, almost said something about it. The innocence in a way
@@USMC.OIF.Vet. this is the Mr.Rogers for adults
Jack Climber Until you see him as Zero Fucks Boyd on “The Chris Gethard Show” 😂
None of you frauds have ever seen Mr. Rogers.
Watching 10 minutes of Joe Pera is equivalent to 2 hours of meditation.
Walking. Meditation. 🤣😭
That small seemingly ridiculous comment about the bell peppers and how he looks at them and thinks "look at this beautiful thing in the world, maybe everything will be okay," quite literally brought me to tears. Maybe it's just today but paired with Joe Pera's show, which is a lot about finding beauty in the simplicity of life, it hit me very, very hard and I appreciate that.
I'm with you... actual genuine tears picturing young Stephen, world freshly shattered, finding hope and comfort in something so simple and perfect. "Joe Pera Talks With You" has been such a comfort during the pandemic, especially more recently. I never really considered myself a crazy-emotional chick, but the jack-o-lantern episode had me ugly-crying for 20 minutes. It simultaneously broke and healed my heart. Every episode is a gift. Anyway, greetings from the future, internet stranger. I hope you're doing OK.
🙄🤦♂️🤡
The fact that you don’t know whether or not he’s doing a bit is why he’s so funny. Also Colbert is a great interviewer as a comedian you can tell how interested he is in joes comedy
I don't think Joe knows either
Colbert is terrible interviewer lol
He reminds me of the youtube channel Brad Hall. I think he is the first to do this style of comedy off youtube.
i want to know where Joe thinks the comedy comes from. like, is unbridled sincerity such an expectations subversion that it's funny?
He's in character all the time and does a really good job at it. There's times you can tell in his videos he almost breaks character...
I can't tell if this is a character or he's really acting like himself
Me too.
first of all, if this is a character, props to him! keeping it up for this long is hard.
secondly, replying here in a case a fan of his informs us whether this is a bit or not. lol
@@macandcheese__ He almost broke character at one point, but he did a fabulous job on the show. I think this was his first night show appearance, so there definitely must've been a mix of reality and his character in there.
He's from New York, but I don't know if any fans know how much of the character is real or based on him. His backstory changes, but maybe the first said he was from near Buffalo.
I am so happy that he was on the show and that there was an extended interview.
@@littlemiss_76 looks yeah, personality not at all.
Im not sure either, but I like him. And if Stephen Colbert has him on and likes him, then hes worth looking into.
He needs to be in a children's show because we need a new mister Rogers. He is beyond perfect to teach kids about life and society.
this is actually a perfect idea. I wonder if he's ever been approached for this
We are the 30 year old millennial children he’s already teaching….
@Jake-tt7qv ehhh, I got broken in by redneck union carpenters but yes, yes indeed.
The thing that makes Joe Pera so funny is he's always set up for a punchline and he just lets you down by reminding you of the joys of life
I genuinely believe he might be the most important comedian right now
lynn pehrson I have a feeling he’s about to blow up. Maybe he will coax out the inner wholesomeness of our world on a large scale.
@@HotStrange yeah we kinda need that maybe. Like we've done whole lenny bruce thing for while now, that's cool and all, but wholesome would be refreshing
Eric Andre has his place too but in our hearts we want to see his antithesis become just as popular.
@@HotStrange i don't think so, and i think that's ok
It's the slow-paced wholesomeness of it all. I think, because it's such a change of pace to our usual diet of obscene comedy, that's why it affects us so much.
Check out the blush when asked about his lady! I think this guy is legit a good guy.
No, I didn't see his face change color.
This is the golden kind of funny, doesn't laught at anything, is just pure inocent observation. It would be sooo cool if seinfield invited him for coffee. Love him.
What car would Jerry pick for him on his episode?
@@mwmalecky PT Cruiser or a Mini Coop
Underrated comment here
@@mwmalecky a 2001 Buick Park Avenue of course
Joe Pera is a treasure. I don't care if it's a bit or it's his pure self, it makes me feel good and calms me.
I like that he took “awww” as a disappointing awww, and apologized.
400th like
MASTER-OF- EVIL congratulations
This dude is so wholesome lol
bruhhh I know I love him 😍

@@arpy4428 Not exactly out of character though, just in another one! I'm not sure there is actually any footage of the real Joe Pera and i prefer it that way, reminds me of Andy Kaufman.
Joe Pera plays his character so well. He broke for a second there. He slips in little jokes amongst his wholesome content and makes me giggle all the time. I don't think he is exactly like this in real life.
Walking on to Baba O'Riley is such a great reference.
Joe Pera lets this interview feel like it’s set in the late 70’s
The 1870s
I'm so happy Joe Pera is getting a chance to shine bright as Nathan Fielder.
I like Joe Pera but Nathan Fielder is on another level. Nathan For You is genius.
@@cactaceous For modern young comedians, Naathan Fielder is like an elder god, and Joe Pera is like the plucky young boy that will surprise everyone
Dude I JUST started watching Nathan Fielder’s show and found out it has apparently ended. Luckily he is doing stuff with HBO.
Joe Pera wishes... Nathan Fielder is Mozart compared to this guy.
Nathan fielder is arguably the funniest man of the decade, Joe Pera still has a ways to go to shine as bright as him. I sure hope Joe’s show can compare to Nathan for you
The world needs more positive vibes from people like Joe Pera. Thank you Joe
His voice says he’s 50 his face says he’s 20 and his personality says he’s 12, I’ve never been more confused 😂
Yes. Twelve going on seventy-four.
@@chadmozley8737 couldn't of put it better myself lol
“Yes, that’s where the food is”
"I was afraid it would throw off my whole day" referring to a disappointing bowl of oatmeal. I can identify with any of the smallest things setting off a butterfly effect in the morning. That was hilarious.
I am really grateful towards Stephen for playing this totally straight. I can’t really enjoy Joe Pera when I feel like people are laughing at him for the wrong reasons. I feel protective of him. I don’t want to see him hurt.
"I think we all could use a short walk." I like that and the deeper meaning there is, as shown throughout comments on any UA-cam video of Joe, people are so wanting of the pure, calming, genuine, simple vibes, slower pace, and appreciating the mundane. The Joe videos or episodes are really relaxing!
i love that they appreciated his slow pace with an extended interview
Seriously, one of the longest interviews I've seen on the show that wasn't split into two parts
There is a looped version of the "Joe pera talks you to sleep" on UA-cam that is 10 hours long. I use it to put my 4 year old to sleep, it works.
Been sleeping to it the past 3 nights lol
I use to put my self to sleep
I just stayed awake and watched it for about 1 1/2 hours.
That Spoony Bard That seems nice in its own way. Hope you ended up getting some sleep though
To be honest the Stephen hawking bit in that was really amazing.
i love that he walked out to "Baba O'Reilly". The episode of his show where he obsesses over how much he likes that song is easily my favorite one.
In a world constantly competing and pushing the bar….Joe just quietly enjoys his life. He achieves the contented peace we all forget we’re actually chasing. Watching his show is like being tucked into bed and told it’s gonna be ok. Colbert recognizes and respects it. And so do I
I like how the camera guy just couldn't find Marty in the audience
Yaas
What a truly warming moment when Stephen opened up about his anxiety and trips to the grocery store to look at the bell peppers...
This interview is so slow paced and genuine about things i can relate to that sometimes I'll come back and watch it just to relax, it's like watching your grandma talk to her neighbor. I feel like I'm half napping on the porch and it could go on for hours and i wouldn't mind
Some people who don’t know much about Joe Pera would title this as “the most awkward interview ever” but I’m glad everyone seems to know how genuine that guy is
I don't know how Joe does it. Every hesitation and boring anecdote feels like a setup for something later on. It's like I'm on the edge of my seat from boredom.
That's exactly how I feel. Love him, though!
xTheOxx 🤣🤣🤣. Hilarious. This ingenious. I love him so much. 🤣🤣
Yes they played Baba O’Riley as his intro music.
That’s the best episode
I don't know, Joe was WAY out of control in that episode. Frankly, I was a bit scared for his safety.
I can see why Joe usually takes it so easy. He's a wild man.
@@RabidDogma you dont see those kinds of socks on a sane man!
You can tell how much Stephen adores and respects Joe's act, such a great interview.
Joe Pera is so refreshing. I'm struggling through college and I needed something like this. Thanks, Joe Pera.
"Oh let's grab a beer next month"
"I thought it was just called walking"
This was a great introduction.
Man I'm struggling here, can somebody please help me out and explain this
@@beckybodaschweri9215 he's a comedian with a show on adult swim
@@beckybodaschweri9215 They're just humorous things, Rebecca. His take on letting someone down about hanging out. His thoughts on "walking meditation." Things don't have to be aggressive and/or in your face to be humorous.
The rouge on his cheeks is subtle and yet so powerful.
I think he’s legit nervous
@@shaokhan4421 It's the late show! He's probably exploding inside. He made it, he's a star!
Makeup dude he probably is really pale from anxiety
He is most likely up past his usual bedtime.
@@2thPlace lol
"It's really funny and it's really beautiful." You are correct. We need a lot more Joe Peras.
His humor is so simple yet amazing.
Oh my god they're playing Baba O'Reilly they know the Pera lore.
Stephen used to work on Adult Swim shows.
That episode was my first time seeing Joe Pera Talks With You. I've been hooked since.
Who does it?
@@TS-qq7vr ua-cam.com/video/OjblXIzmog8/v-deo.html
@@MatthewJOsbourne: Am I supposed to guess who?
I discovered Joe Pera a few days ago and I started listening to his series. Listening to the videos helps me so much with my anxiety and I am so grateful for them 💖
this is literally joe pera trying not to laugh for 14 mins straight
The kind of comedy Mike Pence would watch if he ever felt adventurous.
Oh shit no he'd straight up trigger him. This guys comedy is like walking into a room of black panthers full black face head to toe and scream the n word for 30 minutes before lynching yourself after putting a clan hood on your head at least to mike pence.
"this was a bit much for a joke but fuck that example... I guess I couldn't have just said a abortion joke at a pro life rally."
Adventure causes a stack overflow in Pence.
HA
🤣🤣🤣
No way he would get that!
We all end up as old folks eventually... he just decided to cut to the chase early.
Lol...like this comment
This guy's routine should absolutely kill at an Old Folks Home....I mean, figuratively.
Joe Pera and Quentin Tarantino need to do a movie together...I suspect it will be about 4 hours long and the audience will get some great ZZZZZs.
And then, Joe should do some Red Bull commercials.
He's just practicing for when he gets old, so he knows what to do when he gets there.
This is so beautiful. Both the interviewer and interviewee. Wholesome goodness contributing to making the world a better place.
Imagine Joe Pera having a conversation with Morgan Freeman
Or inside a Warm cabin on a rainy day chatting with Sam Elliot.
That would be the longest conversation you've ever heard in your life😂
@@mechabutYT The universe couldn't handle that much harmony. It would be the polar opposite of splitting an atom lol
I would immediately subscribe!!
Did you catch the conversation between Joe Pera and Morgan Freeman? There were no survivors.
This is my introduction to Joe Pera. This man is a genius. Full Stop.
He's the flip-side to Andy Kaufman.
This man is VERY interesting.
His stuff is very good, his stand up is incredible
Joe Pera is such a refreshing comedian, and the show on AS is down to earth, heart warming and honest. The Christmas special was so good.
Joe: I like going to grocery store believe it or not all the *writers* do to
Colbert: Well we all go...
Joe:Really!?
Colbert: At one time or another
Joe:Yeah thats where the food is
He was just loosening up at the end, I needed another 10 minutes
"Yes, thats where the food is" - Joe Pera.
Found Joe on "F Is For Family". Thanks Bill Burr for showing me this guy!
Joe Pera was the ONLY good thing to happen in that entire show.
I love that smile at 2:55 like he knows he’s absolutely killing it.
One of the strongest gimmicks in the history of modern comedy.
*best
Definitely Andy Kaufman, peewee Herman level
Tim and Eric do a good job with always staying in character too
Same with Nathan Fielder, two of my favorites
@@zachhenry3151 Nathan for sure is right there too. I feel like Andy Kaufman was the king
That "Let's grab a beer next month" line killed me. 😂
Nothing funnier than a talkshow host genuinely wedged, trying to string along a conversation with a guest very content and at ease in quiet while also aware their earnest and still energy is what makes them so gravitating.
This man has put me to sleep so many times, especially when I couldn't do it myself. Thank you Mr. Pera.
"That's where the food is. :)" I adore him with my whole heart.
I've never heard of Joe. I found myself smiling uncontrollably. He's adorable. I hope Stephen interviews him more often.
You should watch his show on adult swim. im pretty sure all of season 1 is available. i recommend starting at the beginning, but if you really wanna jump into the best episode, go for Joe Reads the Church Announcements. www.adultswim.com/videos/joe-pera-talks-with-you
Joe Pera Talks With You is honestly one of the best shows on television right now. You can watch the first season on adultswim.com/videos/joe-pera-talks-with-you and catch the second season as it airs starting December 6th. If you liked this interview, you're in for a real treat.
I found myself smiling too.
I didn’t know who this guy was at all, I first saw him as a video recommendation on here FOR 10 HOURS of him talking you to sleep. I was so confused as to why I would want something like that. I tend to fall asleep with Adult Swim on and I woke up in the middle of the other night to this guy’s voice, trying to go back to sleep but also trying to figure out why someone sounded both bored but willing to speak. I turn and it’s this same guy! His show really is both funny and beautiful like Colbert said. Check it out for sure.
Love this man...he's like a hot cup of milk when you can't sleep.
I love how the house band played Baba O'riley upon Joe's enterance in reference to that episode where he discovers The Who.
I couldn't stop laughing and falling asleep at the same time. Amazing.
same here.
This is the best damn interview i've ever seen. Joe is an absolute master.
I just really love him so much. He has such calm yet nervous energy at the same time and it comforts me.
Joe Pera is genius because, even if you don't get his comedy, you can't help but like him because he's so damn wholesome. Also, his Buffalo Bills routine is the funniest sports joke I have ever heard in my life.
I love the way Stephen played to this guy, that was some funny shit (to me anyway), great job
Can you imagine this guy making announcements if a plane was in a bad situation? lol !
Its all gonna be ok (plane is plummeting)
I have been watching Joe Pera's old relaxing footage every night for the past 2 months. I couldn't sleep without it. It comes me down, and the world is ok for 22mins.
Joe Pera talks with you was and is such a great show. Colbert was right on the money when he called it beautiful. I'm so sad that it was cancelled. It truly deserved more than 3 seasons. I'm also sad that I only just discovered it this summer right after it was cancelled because while I was happy to have enjoyed all 3 seasons on Netflix, I'm a bit sad that I never got to look forward to a brand new season. I know a lot of other people are just discovering it, so maybe some network will see all the folks that love it and give it another chance. We can only hope.
He is so precious and Stephen is a warm and intuitive interviewer
I loved every second of that and Stephen was so kind to him.
Stephen is bizarrely a good late night TV show interviewer. Politics have taken control of all of our late night shows now... But I do like these a lot.
Colbert was weirdly doing Pera's act to Pera while he was sitting there. The two of them trying to 'meekly inhabit the space' was creepy and bizarre.
Colbert did Pera's act to his face, it was creepy.
Joe would be a really easy target to dominate or embarrass in an interview like this, but Stephen appears to genuinely get his act and I love that.
It’s so amazing how comedy has made a 180 and now it’s wholesome and family friendly.
I adore Joe Pera! His show was so nice and calming. Sad that it got canceled, but thankful it had a season three. Maybe he will come back with another special to wrap up the storyline.
Joe Pera makes the most beautiful and heartwarming humor i have ever seen. So Glad he's on Colbert's show!!!!
Such genuine and subtle humor!
