"Nothing is scarier than my dad. I know this. My sister knows it and now cancer knows it 'cause he beat that son of a b*tch!" I loved that! Instant smile for me, right there!
I'm happy for Brad and his father, they had what me and my father didn't. Cancer took my father from me, the strongest man I knew, the man I knew would understand me for what I did. The man who if I got in trouble doing something the right way, would high five me, and tell me, "if your mother asks, this was our talk."
My dad would be " I'll have a serious talk with him when we get home." Later "You didn't start it?" *" No Sir."* "You still standing at the end?" *"Yes Sir."* "It's over now?" *"Think so."* "Sounds good. Pizza for supper?" *"Sounds good, Dad."*
@Austin Brister My Dad told me if anyone lays a hand on me I was required to defend myself and make sure that they never tried again or I would answer to Him. I was very small and a lot of children with low self esteem had their self esteem lowered even more being beat by the shortest kid in the school district ...including kindergarten. ;-)
This guy had us all holding on the tears and finished it with a joke that made us laugh to let the tears out... From the technical point of view this show is brilliant!!!!!
As a father to two boys, he had me for the first 8 minutes. As a son with a father who is growing old, at 8 minutes he took me and spun me around, and suddenly *I* was the kid again. Masterful storytelling. Love this whole bit.
My daughter is disabled, Spina Bifida. She came home crying one day because kids were making fun of the way she walks. I did the same thing Brad's dad did! She now writes checks her ass can't cash! I think I created a monster!
When you said “ did he start the fight or finish it?” Is EXACTLY what we taught our two. Don’t start a fight, but we gave them skills to finish one. Both verbal & martial arts. They have used them wisely. Great advice. Love Brad, his Dad sounds absolutely awesome.😊
@@mackjackson2011 had two kids in our Scout troop at opposite ends of the bell curve. Black kid. 6ft 3 at 13yo (and growing) .

I watched all 5 parts and laughed my ass off. But when he opened up about his dad, it was like I was reliving my dad's fight with lung cancer that he ultimately lost in 2012. Nothing but respect for Brad and his family.
Your not alone, soon as he started talking i was getting flash backs to my dad, beat prostate cancer 2 times, then a few years later came came down with lung cancer, faught it all the way to the bitter end and he even got to see the dawning of the new decade, ended up passing away February of 2020 at the age of 78, But anyway, Rest in peace to both of our dads, and jf you end up reading my reply, hope you have a nice day
@@jamesmayle3787 I'm a practicing pagan. I appreciate your concern for my salvation but please don't try telling me what to do as far as my eternal salvation or perpetual damnation.

I was lucky, my dad was just like that. I am not a dwarf but my dad and I are both 5'2". When I was little and we didnt know if I might be taller my dad would say "If you get bigger than me that won't give you a right to act up cause I know where you sleep and I'll bring a bat if I have to. And my parents rule was "You can never throw the first punch, but if you are defending yourself then there wont be any punishment on our end. I became smartassed enough to get anyone I wamted to fight to take that swing and learned how to take a punch
Oh my God I laughed my ass off. Brad killed his shows. I'm disable and I laughed until the tears ran down my face. Well done sir! Please come down to New Zealand.
A man is defined by his corrector not by anything else. Troy and Brad recognize this. We as men need to make sure we continue a legacy that was gave to us by the men before us. Regardless of where those men came from.
I am a mom. And I don’t exactly come from the healthiest of stock, to feel confident in my capacity to raise my little ones. But it’s people like him, and words like these, that give me a heart and remind me that pain is inevitable. But suffering is a choice. Talk about some heavy life lessons man. I am astounded and profoundly grateful for this dude and his capacity to both make me laugh and to teach me a hell of a lot. I didn’t start it. But I sure as hell will finish it.
A sheltered life leads to unrealistic, expentations. If life kicks your ass get up, on your own😳😳. And we're all grown adults. Go back to the playground where you , helicopter people belong , and shut your pie hole. When in my youth, had a bike I ride everywhere , fishing, hiking , adventures with friends , bb gun hunting on sundays, with a LOCK so it couldnt be STOLEN.😁😁😁😁. All my mom told me was .😃 did you leave a note where your going, a phone numder would be nice 😳😳, do you have your pocket knife, to escape the sex offender that will try to kidnapp you. Yes mom. Whats the dime in your pocket for?? To call you when I escape the petefile, then we'll call the cops and get you a lawyer. 😁😁And if if I'm some place that I know ain't good , and need a ride home. Mom , And well talk about it tomorow. Not this scared s&%@. Have traveled , survived , and thrived. And yes my parents understand what I do to survive the real world. But this is his job , entertainer deal with it.!!!!😁😁😁😁
I can see Brad pulling up to the front of the school waving going "hey what do you think of my new car?" And everybody doubles over with laughter. They are not making fun of him. They just never in their life thought they would see a midget in a Power Rangers truck. They didn't even know that was on their bucket list until they they saw it . 😂😂
Jingles96 - i dont think he means ever, i think he means with his peers, of the school. But i dont personally know him or asked him but i dout he means ever. Theres always been atleast one electric car out for awhile now popular or nky.
Brad awesome show, my Dad is who I feared the most, when he got older, he would say " so you think I won't beat the hell out of you with this walker" knowing at 80 he probably could and would do it, I love and miss my Dad, Thanks again Brad
@@NoalFarstrider yup and your it saying somebody is dead when they are not, do me a favor go up to somebody and just tell them "your mother is dead" and start laughing and tell them it was "a joke" see if they find it funny
My dad wasn't that way. If I got in a fight in school, (which was a regular occurence), he'd leave work, pull me out of school & take me down a back road, and give me a good belting. With his belt. My mom used a wooden spoon, usually for the same fight. He never encouraged me to fight back, but I did anyways, because I was always being bullied. I got the belt because I was a 3rd grader who got in a fight with a 6th grader. Dad's mom told him to fight back, or it was his Grandpa. My two kid brothers got to learn karate. 😡🤬
I got no encouragement to stand up for myself, or talk back. And I always got punished for trying to do so. My mom even threatened me with prison at age 13. I was the bullies favorite victim. I was bullied the 1st day of school by a 6th grader on the school bus. I broke his finger. And got spanked for it.
"Who you want your kids to be? Do you want your kid to be ready for the world that IS or the world that SHOULD BE?" Thank you, Brad for a great lesson❤😎
"Grandpa taught me that one.." Like wow!!! Killer ending! Super funny!!! Respect all the way through. He spoke about real life issues and made them so comical yet addressed so much!!!! I also love that his father and him have that type of relationship! He...talked about so much! Where was he for school talks??? I would have loved this type of speech anytime! Amazing!
My daughter got suspended 8 times in middle school for girl fighting but never got in trouble at home, cause she finished the fights. Great to know there are other parents out there that teach their kids the same.
Saw him live in Manchester, CT a few years back. Absolutely hilarious guy. But the comedy club was located in a mall and the power went out so no booze and people were pissssssed. He did an impromptu set for about a half-hour outside (standing on a bench so people could see him) and then took picture for another half hour before going in and doing his actual set. Great dude and happy he wove a sincere moment into the set without it being stupid.
@@filmfelineadmin He was at the Funny Bone at Buckland, maybe end of 2016? He's even better live simply because you really appreciate the physical aspect of his comedy in person, he does some things that are, well, ummm... too small (sorry)... to notice on TV/UA-cam.
I love the way his dad taught him to defend himself instead of protecting him. Brad is an AWESOME man, thanks to his dad being there for his son, and teaching the important things. This is why dads are so important in children's lives, so dads that actually stuck around their child and raised them, we wanna thank those dads. Also thank the dads that came back to check on the welfare of their children if he had parted from his mom, and apologized to their children for not being there for them, and trying to make things right. Happy Father's Day to these fathers.
The delivery of him saying that cancer knows it too because he beat it gave me an explosion joy. I’m happy for you keep doing what your doing Mr. Williams and stay strong. This just goes to show that being together makes you stronger and can get through a lot together.
Oh my gosh, how does a comedy show have me in tears like this, started crying when he started talking about his father... You can tell that he love and respect his father💯💯💯
You R the Best I have ever heard. Thank GOD your Dad Kicked Ass on cancer! I cried when you told the story of your Father, I'm still crying even though I know he is Okay. Brad you are the most intellectual Comedian and SON that I have ever witnessed. Thank GOD for the both of you as there wouldn't be a Brad this real if there wasn't a DAD that that you were smart enough to understand. U 2 Are perfection! Thank you Both!!
Cut to a few years after this special was taped, and he and Jasmine (his Thrinder/feeld date) are married and have a child, a daughter I believe, together.
As someone who uses a wheelchair I can definitely relate to the part about how people react to hearing that our parents don’t always treat us as these fragile beings, it’s great!
When he brought his father out I started balling. I have such admiration for this guy. Humor has always been my therapy and my suit of armor. It is an underrated tool. To quote Ricky Gervais, "If you can laugh in the face of adversity, you’re bullet-proof."
I was in tears at the end because I’m going thru something familiar , my mom has cancer and she’s a strong person and I grateful she’s still with us ... so I totally understand him
Oh my God! He is awe-inspiring and just wonderful! I didn't feel sad or sorry until he talked about his dad's treatments. The outcome broke me! With the smiling and the crying, I just caught the grandson joke! I'd pay money to see his show!
A hilarious and profoundly heartwarming show. Thanks so much for sharing this with such a random audience. It's truly appreciated. Bravo Mr Williams and Mr Williams Sr. This is such a good watch.
I love Brad's comedy, and his attitude toward life. Take what most people would call a negative and turn it into your greatest strength. My dad was like Brad's dad. He taught us " If you start a fight, you better finish it. Then I will whoop your ass when you get home for starting it. So don't ever start a fight. If there is any way possible, walk away from a fight. If they call you a coward, let them. It is just words. But if you have no choice but to fight, you do and use whatever it takes to be the only one able to walk away at the end of the fight. Then you offer to help them up. That shows them you didn't want to fight in the first place, but that you will defend yourself. It also makes you the bigger man. " My dad passed away on January 9, 2002, of lung and esophageal cancer. He had turned 70 on November 24, 2001. He was the man I feared the most in my life, and he was the man I most wanted to be like. He was my idol and my role model. I miss him every day. Brad is so lucky to have the kind of father-son relationship that so many children don't ever get. Even many kids who have both parents at home suffer from neglect and abuse from their parents, because their parents believe all of the crap about not spanking or disciplining their child, or every child must be given a trophy simply for participating. Therefore they don't know how to face adversity because they never experienced any. These kids have grown up to be SJW's and Antifa thugs and BLM supporters because they they never received their daily dose of Vitamin NO. They were never forced to face reality and so are now unable to recognize what reality truly is. This world needs a hell of a lot more men like Brad's dad. And like Brad.
I LOVE him! He is saying what we are all (besides the people with no sense of humor)are thinking! Love it! Keep it up. We need more people like him in this world to remind us what is really important in life!!
Wow, Wow, Wow! Funny! Glad to hear that your father fought and beat Cancer! It scared the hell out of me when my sister has had cancer, twice, and beat it both times!
I felt the talk about his father having cancer, I lost my father to cancer in 2018 fifteen days after my fifteenth birthday in march, it's been tough but my father was a strong man, he fought as hard as he could until his time had come.
Brad, you had an awesome dad. I got suspended for fighting in High School and my Dad asked me the same questions. "Did you start it?" "No Sir." "Did you finish it?" "Yes Sir" "Good enough." Not long after he sold me his car, at full price, of course. 40 years later I still have that car.
"Nothing is scarier than my dad. I know this. My sister knows it and now cancer knows it 'cause he beat that son of a b*tch!" I loved that! Instant smile for me, right there!
Brads Dad. Only thing scarier than everything else in life.
Like he said: it doesn't matter if you started the fight, it only matters if you finished it. And his dad whipped cancer's ass.
I'm happy for Brad and his father, they had what me and my father didn't. Cancer took my father from me, the strongest man I knew, the man I knew would understand me for what I did. The man who if I got in trouble doing something the right way, would high five me, and tell me, "if your mother asks, this was our talk."
When he finished that story I only thought "Holy shit that was an unexpected emotional and epic monologue!"
@@YinYangAngel55 yup cancer started it and his dad finished it.
Brad is the living proof that people who suffer the most shine the brightest.
He is shining like a star: A white dwarf.
this comment needs to blow up lmao
Highrish honestly.
Yooooooo!!!!! 👍👍😂
Respect to you sir
👏👏
“Did he start it, or did he finish it?”
-every good parent there ever was.
whereas my mom threatened to beat me if i ever got in a fight. period.
You start it, you’re grounded. You finish it, you get a vacation.
Never start 💩 but finish it well and we stand by you.
My dad would be " I'll have a serious talk with him when we get home."
Later
"You didn't start it?" *" No Sir."*
"You still standing at the end?" *"Yes Sir."*
"It's over now?" *"Think so."*
"Sounds good. Pizza for supper?"
*"Sounds good, Dad."*
@Austin Brister
My Dad told me if anyone lays a hand on me I was required to defend myself and make sure that they never tried again or I would answer to Him.
I was very small and a lot of children with low self esteem had their self esteem lowered even more being beat by the shortest kid in the school district ...including kindergarten. ;-)
This guy had us all holding on the tears and finished it with a joke that made us laugh to let the tears out...

I did that out loud also.
Not only did he beat it, he beat that son of a bitch.
My reaction: FUCK YEAH!
And then he was in the crowd!
YESSS

What his dad did to discipline him is hysterical! Love this special so much! "Look what I got! Elf on a shelf" had me dying of laughter! 😂😂😂

"I'm calling your father...Do it! Lol

So deep, sincere and touchy and he talked about his Dad. Hang in there Mr. Williams!!
I felt how emotional he was bout his dad goin through cancer. Brad is one of the best and he was raised right. Kudos to his dad
The bit about his dad caused me to shed a few tears all while laughing, takes a special talent to pull that off. A great lesson, awesome work Brad.

Great dude and happy he wove a sincere moment into the set without it being stupid.
He was here in CT? Why don't I know about these things? Would have loved to have seen him live
@@filmfelineadmin He was at the Funny Bone at Buckland, maybe end of 2016? He's even better live simply because you really appreciate the physical aspect of his comedy in person, he does some things that are, well, ummm... too small (sorry)... to notice on TV/UA-cam.
Love how his dad looks exactly how you think he would
How does he carry his massive balls around, this dude is AM A ZING
I love the way his dad taught him to defend himself instead of protecting him. Brad is an AWESOME man, thanks to his dad being there for his son, and teaching the important things. This is why dads are so important in children's lives, so dads that actually stuck around their child and raised them, we wanna thank those dads. Also thank the dads that came back to check on the welfare of their children if he had parted from his mom, and apologized to their children for not being there for them, and trying to make things right. Happy Father's Day to these fathers.
Not gonna lied I almost cried when he talked about his Dad
Me too
Same bro
Fuck almost, i balled my eyes out
I did first with sadness then with happiness Brad is and always will be one of my favorite comedians
lie*
I knew a midget. His dad was a midget, his mother was a midget but his sister was 6 foot tall 😂😂😂😂
X- doubt
@@sarthakgujar4929 you doubt it with a 2013 meme on something you know nothing about... nice job son 🤦♂️
I think someone should get dna tested😭😭jk its actually more common than you think
@@SmileyDaSlvtGxd ikr 😥
No midget, no dwarf. A little person.
The delivery of him saying that cancer knows it too because he beat it gave me an explosion joy. I’m happy for you keep doing what your doing Mr. Williams and stay strong. This just goes to show that being together makes you stronger and can get through a lot together.
Much respect for as a comedian and as a very respectable man. His dad sure did a great job raising him 🥰❤️
Oh my gosh, how does a comedy show have me in tears like this, started crying when he started talking about his father... You can tell that he love and respect his father💯💯💯
Why did he sound so sinister when he said “DO IT.”
If you can't do sinister you shouldn't have kids. I still have three, so far.
I automatically thought of Emperor Palpatine.
Hands down one of the best comedian that ever exist.
This guy is old school awesome , and his parents taught him well !!!! I really would love to see him in a movie or tv series 😊😊😊
You R the Best I have ever heard. Thank GOD your Dad Kicked Ass on cancer! I cried when you told the story of your Father, I'm still crying even though I know he is Okay.
Brad you are the most intellectual Comedian and SON that I have ever witnessed. Thank GOD for the both of you as there wouldn't be a Brad this real if there wasn't a DAD that that you were smart enough to understand. U 2 Are perfection! Thank you Both!!
Fighting all the tears back.. the one's from laughing, the one's from truth & the one's from his dad.. what an awesome & funny dude
One moment he doesn't want a kid next moment he wants to make his dad proud... Awesome
Cut to a few years after this special was taped, and he and Jasmine (his Thrinder/feeld date) are married and have a child, a daughter I believe, together.
Also, wanting your parent to be proud of you, and whether or not one wants to have a child, don't always go hand-in-hand.
He is amazing! We need more people like him in the world.
His confidence is way more than most of us...normal people. Such an amazing guy 👏👏
Hell yeah that's what a father should be.
amazing the level of respect this man has for his dad!!! Won my respect to him!!
Why am I tearing up while watching a comedy special
As someone who uses a wheelchair I can definitely relate to the part about how people react to hearing that our parents don’t always treat us as these fragile beings, it’s great!
My Dad Brought me here, I'm gonna show this to my kids when I have them.
When he brought his father out I started balling. I have such admiration for this guy. Humor has always been my therapy and my suit of armor. It is an underrated tool. To quote Ricky Gervais, "If you can laugh in the face of adversity, you’re bullet-proof."
Every time I watch this part of his special. 😢😢. I miss my Dad. 🥲🥲🥲. He was my hero. 😢😢
How many more of these are there gonna be?! My sides can only handle so much!!
Seriously though, I could watch this guy perform forever!
He may have a small body but his heart and spirit are huge. Funny and inspirational. Bravo 👌❤
I was in tears at the end because I’m going thru something familiar , my mom has cancer and she’s a strong person and I grateful she’s still with us ... so I totally understand him
I love Brad so much! Congrats to his dad on beating cancer!
This man just made me cry laugh and face a little reality in 11 minutes. Absolutely an amazing message. I will definitely be showing my wife this
Wow. Started crying when he talked about his pops beating cancer. Amazing!
THANK
YOU
BRAD!!!
This man will raise great human beings.
I don't think I've ever seen a better tribute to a dad.
Oh my God! He is awe-inspiring and just wonderful!
I didn't feel sad or sorry until he talked about his dad's treatments. The outcome broke me!
With the smiling and the crying, I just caught the grandson joke! I'd pay money to see his show!
Brad Williams is absolutely killing it
Brad is superb. 😍 lovely words about his dad.
Wow....his dad .what an amazing guy.i was crying and laughing
Never seen or heard any shows performed by this dude .He is GREAT!!! He’s now officially on the top of my comedian list !!!
Hello 👋
How are you doing?
A hilarious and profoundly heartwarming show. Thanks so much for sharing this with such a random audience. It's truly appreciated. Bravo Mr Williams and Mr Williams Sr. This is such a good watch.
I love Brad's comedy, and his attitude toward life. Take what most people would call a negative and turn it into your greatest strength.
My dad was like Brad's dad. He taught us " If you start a fight, you better finish it. Then I will whoop your ass when you get home for starting it. So don't ever start a fight. If there is any way possible, walk away from a fight. If they call you a coward, let them. It is just words. But if you have no choice but to fight, you do and use whatever it takes to be the only one able to walk away at the end of the fight. Then you offer to help them up. That shows them you didn't want to fight in the first place, but that you will defend yourself. It also makes you the bigger man. "
My dad passed away on January 9, 2002, of lung and esophageal cancer. He had turned 70 on November 24, 2001. He was the man I feared the most in my life, and he was the man I most wanted to be like. He was my idol and my role model. I miss him every day.
Brad is so lucky to have the kind of father-son relationship that so many children don't ever get. Even many kids who have both parents at home suffer from neglect and abuse from their parents, because their parents believe all of the crap about not spanking or disciplining their child, or every child must be given a trophy simply for participating. Therefore they don't know how to face adversity because they never experienced any. These kids have grown up to be SJW's and Antifa thugs and BLM supporters because they they never received their daily dose of Vitamin NO. They were never forced to face reality and so are now unable to recognize what reality truly is.
This world needs a hell of a lot more men like Brad's dad. And like Brad.
Where have I been? Just discovered Brad just now. He’s amazing 🎉
Just finished all five parts. This is one of the better specials to have come out in this century. Brad Williams is here, ladies and germs
I need to meet him and tell him he's hilarious and shake his dad's hand and tell him he raised the greatest elf of all time.
😂😂
I've meet him and he told me that I look like the catcher from the movie sandlot
He's not an elf has a lepricon
His names Brad? Damn thought it was Gimli coz he's the most badass dwarf. I'll walk myself out.
Just found this site and binging now . Brad be safe , be well and prosper !
I think Brad is a good person, with a big heart.
"If you start a w....fight you're an a-hole but if you finish one you're a goddamned hero..." 😉
I LOVE him! He is saying what we are all (besides the people with no sense of humor)are thinking! Love it! Keep it up. We need more people like him in this world to remind us what is really important in life!!
Wow, Wow, Wow! Funny!
Glad to hear that your father fought and beat Cancer! It scared the hell out of me when my sister has had cancer, twice, and beat it both times!
When Brad said his Dad beat Cancer i air FIST PUMPED- ur a Brilliant performer Mr Brad Williams Salute Sir
I felt the talk about his father having cancer, I lost my father to cancer in 2018 fifteen days after my fifteenth birthday in march, it's been tough but my father was a strong man, he fought as hard as he could until his time had come.
Brad, you had an awesome dad. I got suspended for fighting in High School and my Dad asked me the same questions. "Did you start it?"
"No Sir."
"Did you finish it?"
"Yes Sir"
"Good enough." Not long after he sold me his car, at full price, of course. 40 years later I still have that car.
I LOVE BRAD WILLIAMS!
Your a real man like I was raised 🙏
God massive respect for Brad an his dad this gave me chills. A few family members have delt with cancer an it's sh** hard core sh**
Just lost my dad to melanoma last week, he was like a superhero to me and watching him wither away was heartbreaking
GREAT MAN AT SHOW !!! Someone who appreciate life and his DAD 👊🏻
