"She goes by they/them. This woman, this señorita goes by they/them." 😄 Perfect.
I don’t know how to make jokes about this stuff, as I’m always wary, however this dude just fucking NAILED IT!
@@markdeans6372 mark...come on maaaaaaaan. Thats "dude/dudette." Also..."NAILED"...really? The proper way is to say "this dude/dudette had consentual sex with that jokes concept and performed well" its not hard, bruh. You got those tesciles on your F150 dont you? Smh
In the midwest i dont have pronouns. I'm an "it" lol
ITS MAAM
@@markdeans6372 because they are the joke.
That one guy having an out-loud existential crisis about the trailer hitch balls making the car the dick 🤣
Dude....that guys voice almost took over the set. I was scared for River for a second.
Legit had to yell out in the middle of the set to say he understood the joke. Good job pal, you were only able to listen up to that joke before having to hear your own voice.
@@dadsfreetimeclassicgaming1220 It wouldn’t have, so that doesn’t really make sense. Was it weird? Yes. But if River could play off of it immediately then why should you be worried?
"The dudes usually leave me alone, out of confusion or respect; I don't know." Lol
What's next? Divorcing your dog? Bahahahaha best joke I've heard in a long time
river butcher would be the sickest band name, pretty much any genre. top tier
This is the most comfortable I have ever seen river doing stand up !!!, and their jokes and confidence were amazing.
And dudes jokes were amazing.
See how that’s works. Replace they/ them with dude and all is solved I. The world.
Anyone can be a dude penis, no penis who cares. Dudes.
@@tonymarselle8812 this only works because River is a dude tho.
Dude is not universal gender neutral and can in fact be very hurtful to use for trans women and some non-binary ppl.
@@tonymarselle8812 no dude, i am not a dude
I swear River is right on about Ohio rural vibe, the truck nuts, the eyelashes on VW, the magnesium metal in a bonfire lol
Just finding River, but I’m rooting for them! This was such a well written, funny set and hope to hear some more
Them? I only see one person on stage
@@krimbii you def could have just kept scrolling 👍🏽
@@armi_armybts6976 Same to you
@@krimbii Transphobe troll
For "them"? You're seeing double. Are you out of your meds?
Wow, I was a casual fan of Rhea, fell off the follow for a couple years, stumbled across this, and had that “Oh! ok, well good for them” moment.
Thats seriously the best comment.
I wish more people were like that
@@nunyabiznes5489 this was my exact same experience too
Same!
More of this guy, their dope.
They're / them lol
I do wish there was a full hour netflix special like Bo Burnham and James Acastor...
So nice to hear legit jokes about the trans experience. Its been like 7 years since Ive come out and only within the past maybe like 2 or so years have I been able to listen to others on large platforms talk about experiences I can relate to. Like that werewolf joke fvcking GOT me 🤣 soo true.
I know no matter what we do or say, how much data is collected, etc etc, transphobes will never change their minds. If you dont get it, then the content just isnt for you. & thats ok. You have the worlds collective knowledge and entertainment on the tips of your fingers. Youll find what you like if you look for it.
It made me feel really good to hear that joke, I'm at around the same point in my transition as a trans guy (a little over a year on t) and some of the stuff that comes with that is amazing, but some of it makes me a bit insecure. And getting to hear a joke about it and laugh it off makes me feel a lot better.
Facts
Perfectly said 💕
Comedians are afraid to joke about it. Alot of people in the public eye are afraid to even talk about it other than to follow a pre prescribed narrative in fear of getting cancelled or fired.
But it could be said this could have an adverse net consequence as to allow anything to be subject to ridicule and satire is to normalise it and not put a subject on its own special shelf that people are wary to go near.
But I agree it's good to see comedy about the trans experience. The "She goes by they them!" Got me haha.
Itn not that we don't understand. It's just it isn't funny.
So happy to see them being so comfortable on stage, it translated into their jokes and was such a good set!
Them? I only see one person on stage
@@krimbii transphobia isn’t a cute look
@@tinyghostahmi Transphobia? What does that have to do with anything? You said “they” but there is only one person on stage.
@@krimbii The comic uses they/them pronouns :)
@@tinyghostahmi Why? It’s just one person
We need phone cases that say "My Sadness Machine". 😂 Great set.
No idea they were so damned funny! I used to watch "Adam Ruins Everything" and there River was! As Adam's sister. "Everyone wants the privilege of paying for their torture," "The pandemic was so long I transitioned," ... I love them!! Keep it up, River. You are an inspiration and damned funny.
I've been enjoying River's work for years, so exciting to see more from them!
Only one person btw …. Now that’s stating the obvious … but there’s also no way you typed out “them” without smirking a little bit in a “this’ll show em” way or trying to be progressive.
@@tenitri5023 ask any grammar teacher, they and them can be used as a singulars. Transphobic clown.
@@AirRedbox oh yeah because giving somebody the respect they ask for has something to do with you, you really can't imagine a world where you're not Center Stage can you? Giving off strong incel vibes my guy
Whoever is butthurt about using they will be delighted to hear that river also goes by he/him so I guess that solves your nonexistent grammatical issue...
The energy in their audience interaction is amazing
You think that's real audience laughter
@@sativarosegold3604 Wow, this comedy video really triggered you, huh?
@@sativarosegold3604 you okay?
Ryan Baker it was overblown for the level of comedy here
Fantastic set, so glad to get to start my weekend off with this!
I've been a big fan since the very early days of PYHT. It's been cool to follow them on their journey. They crushed it, this special was fantastic!
@@danielkolesnick9417 ok girl
@@danielkolesnick9417 triggered?
Them who? There's more of them? What are you talking about?
@@autopilot3176 you ever heard of the singular they?
@@abloodygenderfluidmaniac979 River is using the wrong pronouns. River is a He/Him
Been a fan of them for yearrrrs and the humor is just always on target!
Them? I only see one person on stage
@wilhemv8300
You're _so_ clever for not understanding the versatility of pronouns.
@wilhemv8300
In case the sarcasm of my previous reply wasn't warranted and you were genuinely confused: at 2:58, River said they prefer they/them pronouns, so the person you replied to was respecting that in their comment.
Hilarious. 34 minutes well spent!
Sooooo glad I can finally watch in Canada! Loved it!!! You're the best!!
Judge John Hodgman & Jesse Thorn were correct. Amazing special, awesome transportation comedy
I love their delivery! :D I feel like they could tell me just about any story and I'd laugh my ass off :D
They? Who else is in the group? Can you give me names?
That was an amazing set. I will definitely be watching the rest of River’s stuff.
I'm glad I get to see their special! I've been a fan for years :)
I think its just 1 person
@@mystikast oh my gosh you're so clever
@@pennyjoseph516 how so?
@@mystikast sorry if I misunderstood - were you not deliberately making fun of their pronouns?
@@pennyjoseph516 Not sure what you mean. Who are the other people?
"You think that's brave? I use they/them pronouns" lol hilarious I need to remember that one.
Excellent. I love how the story connected. One of the best standup I have seen.
I love everything about this.
The bit about the vitamins was a mood. I too have no idea which to buy.
Best special in ages. Freakin hilarious
You must not watch a lot of comedy specials
at first i thought river butcher was a serial killer. this is much better! LOL
Had me laughing all the way through!
The gummy vitamin joke was too real 🤣
Came home sick from work, felt down, needed laughs. Just now discovered Butcher and really enjoyed this set. Gonna look for more of their stuff for sure
@PenMarkArt
Hope you're feeling better now, a year later.
This could be developed into a full blown hour special on Netflix! The timing and the story building … this content is ready for the arena/tour… no brainer, IMO!
Yikes bruh
I absolutely love this set! Can't wait to see more of them, hopefully in person some day
There's more of them than this person? Who? Names.
@@autopilot3176 Some people like the singular gender neutral pronoun to be used for them, and River is one of those folks, so that's what I used. "Them" has been used as a singular pronoun in the English language for hundreds of years. I understand some other languages don't have a singular gender neutral pronoun, but English does, and it's "them" and "they."
Like let's say my cousin is coming to a party we're having but you don't know my cousin, so you ask, "what time are they coming over?" Sure if multiple cousins were coming, you could say the same thing, but it works for just one cousin, too.
Another example: You're taking something to the lost and found counter, and you tell the attendant "someone lost their wallet" because you don't know their gender / it's irrelevant
Another example: River is a skilled comedian, and they never fail to make me laugh.
@@yarr0 you just wasted your time typing all that out. The OP is a transphobic troll, check the rest of the comment thread.
i put this on while doing homework and i got so distracted they are def one of the funniest comedians i have ever heard
I love them! So funny.
Loved it!
Is this the person from Good Trouble???? NICE!!!
This Special was fantastic I am so glad to see River Butcher have a new special!!
My name's river kinda cool to see another river out there
"Twenty pounds of pure war" had me rolling!
That was greattt !!!
"Sadness machine" lmaoooo appropriate
This was such a refreshing set 😂👌🏾
THOROUGHLY enjoyed this special
They had me in tears 🤣
Dragon Squad sent me here. River you're hilarious!
❤️ #TDR #TYT
Awesome job!! 👏 🎉
RIIIIIVVVERRRR u killed this
This was so good! Great job, and congrats on your transition! 💜
I love them!!! They are amazing!!!
Been a fan for years! Great special! I LOL-ed
The gummy story was an emotional Rollercoaster
Wait till River discovers croc nuts
They are fucking hilarious! The truck nuts bit 🤣
@@AirRedbox yeah and they were fantastic
@@AirRedbox first of all language is made-up people can use it however they want ,and secondly they them as a singular usage has been around since "modern" English has been a thing. Instead of trying to understand you go on the attack and it is painfully obvious. Not to mention deeply ignorant.
@@emoryogglethorp8180 see how easy it is to upset you people
I love your comedy💕 🤣😂🤣 you are relevant, hilarious, cut to the bone honest, and true to yourself .💯
AND Hey! 🙋 My maiden name is BUTCHER! Dude, I might be a long lost cousin! LOL 😆😂
Great job! God bless! 😇
Haven't felt so warm and laugh-y for a long time. Thanks for this, River ❤️
I was saying the same thing. I appreciate how they weren’t trying too hard. Just naturally funny 😌
These are both just such obvious disingenuous responses from the type of over-woke white women types she was referring to in her standup. So cringe. Just stop.
@@RHt09 I'm a big fan of River's and I appreciate this special. Hope you're doing alright
Marla Jean you felt “warm”? Laugh-y? Nobody genuine says these things 🙄
@@RHt09 I'm sorry you've never felt that way and genuinely wish it for you
I want more River Butcher! They're great :)
Is that a group of people? Who else?
I like them. Their sense of humor really is similar to my own :D
Could be the funniest thing I have seen in a very, very…….long time. Bravo and thank you
Disingenuous response
That was TRULY masterful.
Such a great comic! Love their energy.
i'm a baby wannabe standup comic who also uses they/them, and seeing this representation and River killing it, actually just pushed me to really pursue it.
Do it!!
Check River out live too!
Oh god please no more of this contrived garbage
AWESOME
So excited for you
This is great! New fan here.
Love this, River is hilarious!
Legit so funny 🤣rofl
River is so awesome fam🤙🏾
Much love, River man.
24:36 "gummy based economy" I mean, they aren't wrong. 😂
The old-lady / post menopausal gummies are the top tier for getting the eye health in. They often have lutein.
Heard about River on Nicole Byer’s podcast. Nicole was right, they’re so funny!
And they like Sprite with no ice. I always knew they were good people.
Only one person here. Wtf are you talking about ?
@@AirRedbox Using their preferred pronoun. And referring to someone as "good people" is just a figure of speech. Relax.
But why does this have me in a good mood feeling hopeful af? Dude is good at their craft.
Stellar set! You never disappoint!
I love those shoes! When I was a kid, those are all I wanted for Christmas and I got them and wore them with everything, even my catholic school dresses. Their comedy is so good, they're really going big places with their talent!
Their? I only watched this part, one person. Who else? Can you give name of others? Tnx.
@@autopilot3176 It is the singular they, I would recommend that you read up on grammar.
@@abloodygenderfluidmaniac979 "It is the singular they, I would recommend that you read up on grammar."
- No, it's not. That's not grammar, it's nonsensical. It's like saying Red is now Green. Read what? This? -> "they is singular third-person pronoun in the seventh edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association" ??? LOL, seventh edition, for 7 morons of the 7th Kingdom. Idiotic. OR this: "Use of the singular “they” is endorsed as part of APA Style to avoid making assumptions about gender." - LOL again... 7th nonsense of the 7th moronic kingdom. That's not grammar. Trust me, you're mistaken. It's not your fault. Your brain.. is broken. They is plural, 2 or more. Cannot be singular in any scenario.
@@abloodygenderfluidmaniac979 You say "someone left a wallet" and not what logic-disabled would suggest "someone left their wallet". That "their" is idiotic and illogical. I've never heard of 1 wallet that belongs to 2 persons. So what idiot would say "their wallet". It belonged to 1 person. A person lost a wallet. 1 person. Not 2. It's not "their" wallet, it's either "his or hers". Any other similar examples are equally illogical and cannot be part of grammar.
River at their/his best!!! More more more please.
They is Soo funny ♥️ I hope I'm using it correctly..keep it up 💯
"They are," just like you'd say if you were talking about a stranger whose gender you didn't know. "I just heard this new comedian!" "Oh, are they funny?" Thank you for trying to learn!
24:55 my god, me too!!!!! I’ve never felt more seen lol
Sorry to hear about the divorce. Saw the wedding story on the NYT Vows.
I'm on UA-cam all the time, but it's great to see fresh comedy such as this.
River, you are hilarious! I love it!
I saw you on TYT today, The Damage Report I think, so I had to check your comedy out! It was hilarious!! I'll watch your other videos and I hope to see you on TYT again soon!
❤️ #TYT
Inspiring to see a nb person being a comedian. I can't even explain how big of a hitch that's been in my mind like a feeling of 'I can't be out unless xyz or I can't be the person I want to' but it's awesome seeing that you won't just get rejected for being yourself. Seriously you're such a gift to this world River!
I'm sorry you're struggling with those feelings of uncertainty.
I hope you are able to get to a place where you feel comfortable being who you really are.
Super funny lol
Love this.
Love your videos. You have a great look and you're so funny.
Some great jokes in here
This is great!😅🤣😂
This week's hunting for good standup working backround has been good.
No gummies, stay present👌
Amazing - fantastic set 👏👏
that was hilarious!! Thank you for the laughs 🙏✌️
Lmfao oh I'm sure this will b a straight
Thigh slapper
Where is this dude I would totally hang out with them
Excited to see you get better and dig deeper. You’re doing well.
3 months off of regular gummies! I know that's right 😅
Incredible stuff! Hope to see more of them in the future
