Picking up the Tarot cards to play. I laughed so hard. Thankyou, from now on, for making me smirk everytime I think or see Tarot cards again. Amazing a joke can permanently attach and add itself to a thought. Genius to do be able to create that. Applause from Cornwall UK.
Longer than a dog, for sure! Maybe a cockatoo. I hope he reads these comments 😂 I can just hear him saying "so then some of my commenters started talking about what animal would best represent my career..."
Seriously, he will one day be considered a legend, and counted among the best of all time. He has talent way beyond even the really good comedians on the circuit right now.
If it was true, I suppose. I believe it’s more like people hated her in a way they hate anyone who is famous for doing nothing. Especially when that person has no class. I could be wrong though..
@@Krust23I mean dudes get drunk and say vulgar things on camera all the time and don't get even a fraction of the hate. It's just bros being bros. You gotta be real delusional to think women don't get judged more harshly for the same shit. If a man had been in that interview it literally wouldn't have even stood out.
Its about the fame. Like we all work hard and never get credit yet some attractive blonde exploits her sex image. It wouldnt matter if she wasnt constantly brought up like she cracked some code. @Krust23
I loved that the hawk tuah girl said if she only has 15 minutes of fame she was going to do some good with it. Then she went to raise money for an animal shelter!
@@bhonest-gb5zg Do you…do you genuinely think that animals only exist/ have purpose when they’re pets to human beings…? Who despised you more in life, your parents or your teachers? 😂
300 years from now in a dystopian future a kid will be sitting down on UA-cam watching this and get sent into a deep rabbit hole about who the Hauk Tuah girl is
The internet isn't that permanent. With how much data centers we've built in the past 2 decades But who knows how many TB of data have already been purged in the same time? Storage space isn't infinite. Our electricity isn't infinite. In 300 years, you'd be lucky to find a handful of iconic videos from today. They'll be too busy consuming and creating their own content to care about it.
Very talented guy. Great storyteller, blends in the news and internet culture seamlessly, doesn't rely on stereotypical crowd work and crass humour, speaks in the microphone with a mellow voice as if he was talking to a long time friend, never jumps around, yelling and sweating. I also noticed that the man never cusses.
If he freestyles these, he's the second coming of richard pryor. Every one of these videos is him doing two to three separate jokes to end up at the starting punch line for his main joke. He's so good that it all flows naturally and conversationally. But don't doubt the work.
I am so curious about the person that has kept a goldfish alive for 40 years. I wanna hear all the things they chose not to do instead of raising a goldfish for 40 years.

Ok serious advice to EVERYONE: DO NOT i repeat DO NOT watch Josh with broken ribs. Started aching 30 seconds in but i maintained, supported my 3 broken ribs and tried to hold in the laughter. Until that last damn line. When i say laughter burst out of me like a freight train and feels like it took my 3 ribs with it and maybe broke a few more on the way out, I aint jokin. Holy shit he is dangerously funny. That call back hit me outta nowhere. BRAVO Josh!! Everyone else, stay safe. Y'all might want to avoid drinking or eating during his sets, too, lest you choke or damage your device of choice with liquid or food projectiles.
Reminds me of that time I was in the hospital for a sprained back and the dude nurse was talking to the other dude nurse and he had a story about this drink guy they were treating who kept blaming "the system" so the nurse finally turned it around "it's not me it's the system" in like I have a sprained back over here
He is the one that was prophesied😂. But seriously Redd Foxx handed over to Richard Pryor then to Eddie Murphy then to Chris Rock then to Dave Chappelle and I think he’s next. I thought it would be Jerrod Carmichael but he decided to never make jokes even though he’s a comic.

Ive had SUCH a bad fucking week. My husband lost his job, got our car in a fender bender, and im exhausted from my job working as a therapist for autistic kids at a clinic (i love it but anyone who does this work knows a 50 hour work week of that takes it out of you) and you just. Made me smile. Made my day. Thanks Josh. Ive been a fan for a while since i found your special when it came out on peacock and i hope that your career goes ten times more insane than that of the Hawk Tuah girl. You deserve it. Your comedy is intelligent and heartwarming and so appreciated during this hard fucking time in my life. Thank you.
I was a full time ABA therapist for a few years as well, wishing you the best. The job was rewarding as hell, but damn if it wasn't rough in equal measure.
Hey @Joshjohnsoncomedy- I'm a social worker, teaching in a University Social Work program. Shared a clip of one of your sets in my class as part of discussion on current events. It went over very well. Thank you for your work. 🎉

It's true! I grew up watching old movies and I think about people like Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly and Doris Day who could sing and dance and act. Gene Kelly could even dance on roller skates! They were so talented. You have people like that now but also so many other people that aren't the "triple threats" we used to see. Like singers that are actually better at dancing, or tiktok videos that go viral for who knows why and suddenly someone is famous. it's so easy with social media to get famous for something silly.
Every now and then I tell my daughter about eras and how X became bigger than just a phase. I was trying to remember the start of the disconnect from excellence and which came first Paris Hilton or the Kardashians...either way, here we are
@@phunchurchgirl😂 completely agree. I’m kinda holding out hope that through apps and social media we start picking better ppl to pay attention to. There’s always a glimmer of hope. Chief complaint from myself is all women looking the same.
@KatenJace women looking the same is horrible (and I'm not saying it just because I don't have a booty). We've set the world back from when we protested against the Barbie beauty standard, thin models one look, to now still having one look but it's all plastic surgery and fat injections. And the celebrities probably feel pressure to perpetuate it. It's a downside of internet access
It was trashy. Even trashier was how she tried to spin 5 seconds of fame into something more. And ppl like this comedian keep talking about it bc they have no actual talent and are just trying to ensure they constantly pop on ppls feeds. Funny how ppl are always freedom of expression until someone expresses an emotion they don't like.
I love it when he gets real quiet, and then the audience does.... there is a pregnant pause in the air, building tension... and then he drops the hammer. It gets me every time.
You have a unique way of guiding the audience through a story as if you’re walking a pathway to something funny. But at the destination the hilarious visual is shown by your own mind as if it were placed there secretly and waiting the whole time for you to find. To me that makes it 10x funnier
The true mark of a great comedian is being able to take the crowd on a ride down multiple tangents that have absolutely nothing to do with one another until the end when it's tied up in a neat bow with where the journey actually started so it all correlates. You have that in spades my friend. Cant wait for a Vegas show!!!! 🙌❤️🔥
Man you've got to be one of the hardest working in comedy as far as I tell. Constant fresh material in a new town. Grateful for your work and for posting
Always a joy when you upload. I look forward to every video, knowing it’ll make me smile, something especially needed in these first few days of the new week. Your delivery and cadence is incredible, and I love the buildup, the slow payoff, and above all else, the simplicity of your jokes. Everything is so relatable, and even when it’s personal stories you walk us through so we feel like we’re right next to you, watching it happen. Many times I have shaken my head with disbelief at how smooth your segues are, and how unique each one is. You’re probably my favorite comedian, not just on UA-cam. You bring such a kind, warm energy that is so fun to participate in. Your consistency, especially given the steady output of new material, is unmatched. Keep it up!
@@JoshJohnsonComedyyou’re the truth. Feels like we’ve been waiting on you for a long time. Been a fan since klan ribs. Thank you for sharing your mind with us. Good on you too, OP, for articulating what we’re thinking in such a positive, pleasant way.
I hate it when ppl get mad at someone when they made them famous. The hawk tuah was literally a bystander, she wasn’t a youtuber, and it wasn’t even her youtube channel. Like she was literally a civilian, she became famous bc WE made her famous, and wanted to know all her information like weirdos, and then ppl got mad, like what?
@@lazyfoxplays8503 common, i have not seen any thing that suggest she is right wing except that she is making lots of right decisions with her fame which is consistent with so called right wing values nowadays
I cackled SO hard imagining him picking up the cards on instinct. I guess we take some things for granted. It would've given me a good friendly chuckle in the moment.
@@quirkyviperWhen he said she started "dealing the cards" it automatically made me chuckle. Technically it is true, i do deal cards. Just don't want anyone to think I'm gambling with their future. Lol
Josh is definitely one of the most talented comics working right now but can we take a moment to appreciate the comedic timing of the camera man and editor. That zoom in on the hand gestures and facial expressions gets me every time😂
He also writes an exposition in the description. I don't understand how one person can have so much creativity to come up with multiple full sets weekly and the most contemplative video descriptions🤯
I see people sharing his content …. I hear a lot of content creators wanting their videos shared …. But people are in the comments saying people are stealing his- I don’t know what to make of this - clearly we know no one else is him
I swear I love the way Josh does comedy!! He throws some education, reflection, realism, reality and of course so much humor!!! I can't think of anyone funnier, anyone more on point, and anyone more relevant than he is when he does his thing.
I really haven't heard anyone be as thoughtful about the way the heightened fame of like 90's superstars was and has changed. Thanks for sharing Josh, you're great.
Josh has the most GENIUS🤯LEVEL comedic😂timing that I have ever witnessed. The effortless, nonchalant way he lets his JOKES🤡BREATHE is simply extraordinary😅..!
Indeeeed. He has the confidence to cultivate a mutual trust with his audience that allows him to unhurriedly delve into stretches of sincere irony-free musings with genuine thoughtfulness. Letcha forget forva moment that you're listening to stand-up, perhaps rather a really engaging story told by a friend that draws you in or a professorial philosophy lecture given by your favorite teacher who makes learning fun, and then Ka-Blam! Banger punchline! Usually one that isn't just funny but also employs some clever comedic device like in this instance the callback to Chekov's tarot card. Lmao. He's a master and a marvel to behold.
Josh Johnson is a very handsome young man who acts like he has no idea how handsome he is. Then he starts talking and puts hilarious twists on deep introspections and societal observations, you'd think he had the mind of a 123 year old sage on a cover of a Zeppelin album, but he gave you asthma from laughing so hard! Amazing!
I started caring about the news when Jon Stewart became the host of the Daily Show, and it's very evident this young man is following in the footsteps of the great. I care about the news and culture again because of him ❤😂
I’m going to be a fortune teller for a sec: Josh Johnson someday sitting in the Kennedy Center getting the Mark Twain prize. He has got to be the most prolific comedian out there.
Josh Johnson is my new favorite comedian. No other comedian I know of is putting out sets consistently new and consistently funny as him. I can’t even imagine how funny a special would be…
Josh is one of the best comedians out there right now. He truly has his own style. Intelligent. Down to earth. Eloquent. Well-spoken and articulate. You should contact Al Franken, you’ve got a future in politics!
Apparently, according to the comments, goldfish can live a lot longer than we think (35+ years). And I think that makes his analogy even better. If someone is a goldfish, depending on the level of care and attention we give them they could last a week to many, many years. Outliving the dog we had that we thought would outlive the goldfish. We give these people attention online over stupid stuff (even negative attention) the longer that goldfish will be around. 😂
Goldfish are carp... in the wild, 30-50 years, supposedly a famous koi fish lived like 200 years (sounds unlikely). Dogs range 7-20 years-ish? So I guess I'd prefer to be a goldfish in the wild, and a dog in captivity. Or, domesticity.
That snapping and inability to remember who the celebrity is from the 90s is so damn accurate. I love how he spoke on just the landscape of the entertainment business now. I too think “old Hollywood” is done. I think for new artists it’s harder to get in the industry hence why they are taking the internet route.
Josh Johnson is brilliant! Topical and thoughtful commentary with a great call-back to the psychic anecdote. So happy for him that the Daily Show has recognized his sharp mind.
The way you describe culture and trends is so accurate and thought-provoking, then you weave humor in there and are truly carving out a unique form of comedy.
I’ve watched all of his UA-cam content and have gone to see him live and Josh is my absolute favorite young comedian. The psychic call back at the finale joke was hilarious and brilliant!
"ohh oh oh ohhhhhhohoh oh.... I think this is what the psychic saw" 😂😂😂 incredible comedian!!! Drew that shit out the whole set, I love it!!!!! 💜 Keep up the great work!
Josh has become our new daily news. I love how he builds and builds about an entire different subject relating to himself or us and then BOOM somehow it relates to whatever random topic that's going on currently. His ability to be so on trend mixed with random philosophy is super smart.
Love watching your sets!!! My dad randomly sends me clips of you on Facebook (that I've often already watched on tiktok). The other night I went to get something from the freezer and saw him watching one of your sets on UA-cam, and it just made me smile. You're so incredibly talented as a comedian and a storyteller. I can't tell you how blessed I feel to be able to watch your sets from home since my disabilities + chronic illness would make it hard to see shows in person. Love your work!!
This one has some of my favourite zooms so far, lol. 7:23 made my abs hurt from laughing. Great set as always! Happy to see you met your 650k goal before the end of the month!! So well-deserved ❤
I am so glad I finally know how this hawk tuah girl originated. I really didn't know anything about it, but when I saw her tag on the title, I knew that the very best person to explain it to me is Josh. And I was not wrong.
The thing I like the most about the videos that you upload is the fact that we can clearly see how you are honing your craft. Seeing how you have now started linking jokes together, how you transition between jokes, and the wrap at the end. It's awesome to see the genuine improvement 💪
What you're describing is where your physical stomach is. I've had that pain several times, and it's super painful. It's from eating so much food, you hurt your stomach. Then it put your GI tract into evacuation mode 😅. Great set man. ❤
That callback to the psychic at the end there had me absolutely dying. I saw some of your stuff on the daily show first, then it popped up in my feed, you are now one of 2 comedians I actually subscribe to on youtube.
Hard working, well read and researched, well performed and funny as Hell - also one of the only things on UA-cam I don’t have to mute when my 11 year old walks in the room - turtle on Josh! ❤
Bro😂, You were startin out at the Gotham Comedy Club back in 2021 and you said somethin bout “I just broke up with my girlfriend” for whatever reason and I was like “Oh Dear God,” and you were like, “Oh, I got an ‘Oh Dear God’ outta this,” 😂😂 And I laughed a deep laugh. The end. 😂😂😂
I studied popular culture at uni last year and you were surprisingly spot on for a layman. Very impressive - either that or I'm wasting my time at uni 😮
Geez, chill, it's just a joke. I know he's a professional comedian and I actually really enjoy his breakdowns of news and culture that I'm not otherwise up to date with. I'm doing media studies at uni, like a lot of other people. Maybe it is a waste of time and I should be working instead, but I'm committed now. I don't really know much about popular culture due to being isolated in a cult my entire childhood, thus I took an elective course over summer. That's all
Omggg Josh 😂😂😂😂 As a Tarot reader myself, this is funny AF. You almost made me choke on my food when I heard you say you took a Tarot card from the reading laid out. 😂😂😂 (I had to pause video just to comment this - love your sets)❤ PS Shame on that reader to just walk away after you paid her 🙅🏽♀️👎🏾
He's got the Chappelle callbacks to an earlier but as a finisher! (idk if he started it, I just remember him doing it a lot) It's fun to grow up with such a talented guy and watch him get better and better
When...if you listen close enough between the laughs you can hear the "profound" thoughts in his sets of storytelling. We are at the beginning to witness something special. Keep it movin young king.👍🏾👏🏾
I'm glad the algorithm sent your channel my way. Already had more laughs out of you in a week than a several Netflix specials. Your jokes about recent events have funnier premises and are better delivered than all the big name specials I've seen recently. Hilarious.
Josh is introducing people my grandkids know about and may be worth googling for me. The emotional maturity and compassion Josh shows keeps me coming back to his shows.
2:51 As a person that knows tarot the only thing that would cause me to react that way would be a tower card with a page card under it, which I would interpret as someone being after that person that wants to cause harm to them.
Hi Friends thanks for watching. Make sure you subscribe
Thx for always bringing the laughs! Question: What if any is the story behind the outfit?
Picking up the Tarot cards to play. I laughed so hard. Thankyou, from now on, for making me smirk everytime I think or see Tarot cards again.
Amazing a joke can permanently attach and add itself to a thought.

So true, after a car crash resulting in a fractured sternum and 2 broken ribs - I abstained from Josh for 2 months! 😅

I love it when he gets real quiet, and then the audience does.... there is a pregnant pause in the air, building tension... and then he drops the hammer. It gets me every time.
Yes!! His timing is impeccable.
I love a storyteller. I could listen to him for hours and hours.
Bro, the comment section on your videos are consistently the most wholesome I see anywhere.
Everyone is celebrating you.
Must feel amazing.
16k views in under 45 min. after posting. Josh is stadium ready❣️💐👏🏼
40K in just over an hour⛲🏟️💖
Bout to pass 100k after 4h
Stadium changes the type of comedy. He needs small intimate gigs.
@@apollyon1did u enjoy Andrew Schulz. he had a similar grind and approach and exploded. The comedy did indeed change tho
@@weplaydk2343 Andrew Schultz isn't in the same solar system as Joeh
I have never seen a comedian who constantly had so much fresh material. Just incredible.
Bringing that psychic back into the story, 25 minutes later...... PRICELESS!!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Love how he pulls that off. Its one of his trademarks ❤
I'm not on tiktok or Instagram, but this guy keeps me updated on trends and contemporary culture
You have a unique way of guiding the audience through a story as if you’re walking a pathway to something funny. But at the destination the hilarious visual is shown by your own mind as if it were placed there secretly and waiting the whole time for you to find. To me that makes it 10x funnier
Congrats on making your milestone of 650K subs!
Thank you!
Yeah and before 31 August.
@@JoshJohnsonComedy- You deserve it!
“I think this is what the psychic saw” LMAO
😂😂😂 such a funny and unique joke premise. The set up is immaculate.
I haven't laughed that hard at a punch line since Carlin. Josh is such a genius at delivery!
I was doubled over at that one. Genius. This is how you do comedy!
That was the perfect call bacc lmao
@@JonnyBoy803 ikr
The true mark of a great comedian is being able to take the crowd on a ride down multiple tangents that have absolutely nothing to do with one another until the end when it's tied up in a neat bow with where the journey actually started so it all correlates.
You have that in spades my friend.
Cant wait for a Vegas show!!!! 🙌❤️🔥
Man you've got to be one of the hardest working in comedy as far as I tell. Constant fresh material in a new town. Grateful for your work and for posting
Always a joy when you upload. I look forward to every video, knowing it’ll make me smile, something especially needed in these first few days of the new week. Your delivery and cadence is incredible, and I love the buildup, the slow payoff, and above all else, the simplicity of your jokes. Everything is so relatable, and even when it’s personal stories you walk us through so we feel like we’re right next to you, watching it happen.
Many times I have shaken my head with disbelief at how smooth your segues are, and how unique each one is. You’re probably my favorite comedian, not just on UA-cam. You bring such a kind, warm energy that is so fun to participate in. Your consistency, especially given the steady output of new material, is unmatched. Keep it up!
Wow thank you for taking the time to write such nice things. This was really sweet. I’m trying and I thank you so much for supporting me.
You're literally the best ❤🎉🎉@@JoshJohnsonComedy
@@JoshJohnsonComedyLove the podcast Josh!
@@JoshJohnsonComedyyou’re the truth. Feels like we’ve been waiting on you for a long time. Been a fan since klan ribs. Thank you for sharing your mind with us. Good on you too, OP, for articulating what we’re thinking in such a positive, pleasant way.
@@JoshJohnsonComedy but relax on the zooms in these videos, too much , too distracting by far
I hate it when ppl get mad at someone when they made them famous. The hawk tuah was literally a bystander, she wasn’t a youtuber, and it wasn’t even her youtube channel. Like she was literally a civilian, she became famous bc WE made her famous, and wanted to know all her information like weirdos, and then ppl got mad, like what?
Dude, for REAL! She won an election she wasn’t even running in and people got mad when she didn’t want the job
And now she uses her platform as a right wing grift.
Who's "we"?
@@FelixMukthose who aren't as perfect as you, apparently
@@lazyfoxplays8503 common, i have not seen any thing that suggest she is right wing except that she is making lots of right decisions with her fame which is consistent with so called right wing values nowadays
I'm a tarot reader, and I was at this show. 🤣
This joke was so good, and totally unexpected!
I cackled SO hard imagining him picking up the cards on instinct. I guess we take some things for granted. It would've given me a good friendly chuckle in the moment.
Wait, if you're a psychic, how could it have been unexpected?
But did you see the ending coming?
I like the art on Tarot cards
@@quirkyviperWhen he said she started "dealing the cards" it automatically made me chuckle.
Technically it is true, i do deal cards. Just don't want anyone to think I'm gambling with their future. Lol
I love that YOU are the first person I've heard explain anything about the HT girl, I had no idea!
Josh is definitely one of the most talented comics working right now but can we take a moment to appreciate the comedic timing of the camera man and editor. That zoom in on the hand gestures and facial expressions gets me every time😂
He also writes an exposition in the description. I don't understand how one person can have so much creativity to come up with multiple full sets weekly and the most contemplative video descriptions🤯
It aint that deep 😂
You made me read the description but I am not mad about it. Thank you!
I see people sharing his content …. I hear a lot of content creators wanting their videos shared …. But people are in the comments saying people are stealing his- I don’t know what to make of this - clearly we know no one else is him
I hadn’t realized the description part! You made me go back and read it. Thank you!
I swear I love the way Josh does comedy!! He throws some education, reflection, realism, reality and of course so much humor!!! I can't think of anyone funnier, anyone more on point, and anyone more relevant than he is when he does his thing.
This young man is brilliant. His delivery and cadence totally bring you into the story.
He will go a very long way in comedy.
How this man comes up with a 20-30 min relevant and hilarious set EVERY WEEK. It true talent. And I’m here for it! ❤
I really haven't heard anyone be as thoughtful about the way the heightened fame of like 90's superstars was and has changed. Thanks for sharing Josh, you're great.
Josh has the most GENIUS🤯LEVEL comedic😂timing that I have ever witnessed. The effortless, nonchalant way he lets his JOKES🤡BREATHE is simply extraordinary😅..!
Indeeeed. He has the confidence to cultivate a mutual trust with his audience that allows him to unhurriedly delve into stretches of sincere irony-free musings with genuine thoughtfulness. Letcha forget forva moment that you're listening to stand-up, perhaps rather a really engaging story told by a friend that draws you in or a professorial philosophy lecture given by your favorite teacher who makes learning fun, and then Ka-Blam! Banger punchline! Usually one that isn't just funny but also employs some clever comedic device like in this instance the callback to Chekov's tarot card. Lmao. He's a master and a marvel to behold.
Okay the snapping and pointing is too real. In our house it’s usually accompanied by a version of “it’s that dude from uhhhh…”
That punchline! Josh is such a great story teller! There's the social commentary, the slice-of-life... it's just all great
Josh Johnson is a very handsome young man who acts like he has no idea how handsome he is. Then he starts talking and puts hilarious twists on deep introspections and societal observations, you'd think he had the mind of a 123 year old sage on a cover of a Zeppelin album, but he gave you asthma from laughing so hard! Amazing!
I started caring about the news when Jon Stewart became the host of the Daily Show, and it's very evident this young man is following in the footsteps of the great. I care about the news and culture again because of him ❤😂
That opening bit is technically perfect at the punchline. Man knows how to do his job!
My boy is on his way to becoming a turtle. I love his sets and cannot wait for a new special from him.
Finally remembered that Tuesday night comes after Monday and before Wednesday, so I got here on the right day at the right time. Let’s go Josh! 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼
I'm so proud of you Carl! See ya next week hopefully! Lol
😂😂😂
I realized when watching this live in my time zone, that such a “Joshday” runs from Tuesday afternoon (in Hawaii)
to Wednesday morning (in Japan)
I’m going to be a fortune teller for a sec: Josh Johnson someday sitting in the Kennedy Center getting the Mark Twain prize. He has got to be the most prolific comedian out there.
I just got introduced to this guys channel. He is a great performer. The best comedians have always been the best story tellers.
Congrats on 650k homie! You deserve so many more. You're the definition of raw talent!
Josh Johnson is my new favorite comedian. No other comedian I know of is putting out sets consistently new and consistently funny as him. I can’t even imagine how funny a special would be…
He has a couple of specials
JOSHUA'S UNIFORM AS I NOW REFER TO IT IS GIVING A VERY DEMURE ENERGY, GREAT COMEDIAN.
Josh is one of the best comedians out there right now. He truly has his own style. Intelligent. Down to earth. Eloquent. Well-spoken and articulate. You should contact Al Franken, you’ve got a future in politics!
Would love to see you on Sam and Mark’s podcast we might be drunk.
Apparently, according to the comments, goldfish can live a lot longer than we think (35+ years). And I think that makes his analogy even better. If someone is a goldfish, depending on the level of care and attention we give them they could last a week to many, many years. Outliving the dog we had that we thought would outlive the goldfish. We give these people attention online over stupid stuff (even negative attention) the longer that goldfish will be around. 😂
Yep!! I had a childhood goldfish grow so big we had to give her to family friend with a pond they maintained. She grew huge and had babies💕
Wow thank you for catching this. I appreciate you.
I find it funny that the goldfish, dog, turtle analogy works despite dogs and goldfish having similar life spans
in theory but most people take better care of a dog than a goldfish, so theoretical possibilities are just that...theoretical
As a Fresnian we are a little embarrassed of are 15 min goldfish Kai from Dogtown. Smash smash suh-mash.
Goldfish are carp... in the wild, 30-50 years, supposedly a famous koi fish lived like 200 years (sounds unlikely). Dogs range 7-20 years-ish? So I guess I'd prefer to be a goldfish in the wild, and a dog in captivity. Or, domesticity.
New Orleanian here (previously of Alexandria)! Thank you for representing us so well! 😊
That snapping and inability to remember who the celebrity is from the 90s is so damn accurate.
I love how he spoke on just the landscape of the entertainment business now. I too think “old Hollywood” is done. I think for new artists it’s harder to get in the industry hence why they are taking the internet route.
I'm obsessed with the editor zooming in on his hand gestures
Josh Johnson is brilliant! Topical and thoughtful commentary with a great call-back to the psychic anecdote. So happy for him that the Daily Show has recognized his sharp mind.
Josh is that funny coworker with all the juicy goss and news in the breakroom
We're so spoiled 🥰 Thanks Josh!
The way you describe culture and trends is so accurate and thought-provoking, then you weave humor in there and are truly carving out a unique form of comedy.
I’ve watched all of his UA-cam content and have gone to see him live and Josh is my absolute favorite young comedian. The psychic call back at the finale joke was hilarious and brilliant!
Respect from Louisiana! You make US look good, lol!
"ohh oh oh ohhhhhhohoh oh.... I think this is what the psychic saw"
😂😂😂 incredible comedian!!! Drew that shit out the whole set, I love it!!!!! 💜 Keep up the great work!
The snapping and pointing thing got me b/c that's so relatable, lol. We all learned that somewhere, but who remembers where or when.
Josh has become our new daily news. I love how he builds and builds about an entire different subject relating to himself or us and then BOOM somehow it relates to whatever random topic that's going on currently.
His ability to be so on trend mixed with random philosophy is super smart.
Love watching your sets!!! My dad randomly sends me clips of you on Facebook (that I've often already watched on tiktok). The other night I went to get something from the freezer and saw him watching one of your sets on UA-cam, and it just made me smile. You're so incredibly talented as a comedian and a storyteller. I can't tell you how blessed I feel to be able to watch your sets from home since my disabilities + chronic illness would make it hard to see shows in person. Love your work!!
Make sure to like the video yall
This one has some of my favourite zooms so far, lol. 7:23 made my abs hurt from laughing.
Great set as always! Happy to see you met your 650k goal before the end of the month!! So well-deserved ❤
I look forward to these clips Josh drops every week. Thanks man ! Keep crushing.
I am so glad I finally know how this hawk tuah girl originated. I really didn't know anything about it, but when I saw her tag on the title, I knew that the very best person to explain it to me is Josh. And I was not wrong.
The thing I like the most about the videos that you upload is the fact that we can clearly see how you are honing your craft. Seeing how you have now started linking jokes together, how you transition between jokes, and the wrap at the end. It's awesome to see the genuine improvement 💪
Dude, your shows just get funnier & funnier!! I love watching you & laughing til tears are in my eyes & my cheeks & sides hurt!! ❤😂❤😂
holy....the story progession and callbacks....damn Josh is going to end up like Carlin or Pryor....a god of humor and story telling
What you're describing is where your physical stomach is. I've had that pain several times, and it's super painful. It's from eating so much food, you hurt your stomach.
Then it put your GI tract into evacuation mode 😅.
Great set man. ❤
I searched "pain" in the comments just to find an answer. I mean he describes a scary pain then stops the video, wtf is that about? lol
That callback to the psychic at the end there had me absolutely dying. I saw some of your stuff on the daily show first, then it popped up in my feed, you are now one of 2 comedians I actually subscribe to on youtube.
I am so happy when I see an alert from Josh. He is helping cope with do much stress and depression right now. 😊
hope you're experiencing more levity + ease now 💓
lol the "HELLO" after he said the way people hate women online
The card reader saw him learning a valuable lesson. She couldn't see the exact time, and she couldn't take the chance of being there when he did.😂😂😂
Who else goes to sleep listening to Josh on loop?
My one complaint about these videos is that they’re too short!! JJ is phenomenal
Hard working, well read and researched, well performed and funny as Hell - also one of the only things on UA-cam I don’t have to mute when my 11 year old walks in the room - turtle on Josh! ❤
Bro😂, You were startin out at the Gotham Comedy Club back in 2021 and you said somethin bout “I just broke up with my girlfriend” for whatever reason and I was like “Oh Dear God,” and you were like, “Oh, I got an ‘Oh Dear God’ outta this,” 😂😂 And I laughed a deep laugh. The end. 😂😂😂
You're killing it
I studied popular culture at uni last year and you were surprisingly spot on for a layman. Very impressive - either that or I'm wasting my time at uni 😮
A layman? Isn't that the opposite of a pro? Josh Johnson works for the Daily Show and he's been doing comedy for a decade
Universities teach what others live. You’re paying for someone else to explain to you a concept based on the way someone else lives for free.
“Layman”
This dude lol
You're definitely wasting time studying what you can see with your own eyes.
Geez, chill, it's just a joke. I know he's a professional comedian and I actually really enjoy his breakdowns of news and culture that I'm not otherwise up to date with. I'm doing media studies at uni, like a lot of other people. Maybe it is a waste of time and I should be working instead, but I'm committed now. I don't really know much about popular culture due to being isolated in a cult my entire childhood, thus I took an elective course over summer. That's all
Omggg Josh 😂😂😂😂 As a Tarot reader myself, this is funny AF.
You almost made me choke on my food when I heard you say you took a Tarot card from the reading laid out. 😂😂😂
(I had to pause video just to comment this - love your sets)❤
PS Shame on that reader to just walk away after you paid her 🙅🏽♀️👎🏾
I only discovered Josh Johnson yesterday and now he's one of my favorite standup comedians! Thanks so much for what you do!!!
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how a "call back" is done!
He's got the Chappelle callbacks to an earlier but as a finisher! (idk if he started it, I just remember him doing it a lot)
It's fun to grow up with such a talented guy and watch him get better and better
When...if you listen close enough between the laughs you can hear the "profound" thoughts in his sets of storytelling. We are at the beginning to witness something special. Keep it movin young king.👍🏾👏🏾
25:26 way to bring it back around 😂
Pars excellence‼️
King! I swear as a member you just keep fkn giving! Thank you ❤
Rapidly becoming my favorite comedian
9:53 The elderly lady in the background finally laughs and its the explanation of Hauch Tuah.
I'm glad the algorithm sent your channel my way. Already had more laughs out of you in a week than a several Netflix specials.
Your jokes about recent events have funnier premises and are better delivered than all the big name specials I've seen recently.
Hilarious.
Josh is introducing people my grandkids know about and may be worth googling for me. The emotional maturity and compassion Josh shows keeps me coming back to his shows.
2:51 As a person that knows tarot the only thing that would cause me to react that way would be a tower card with a page card under it, which I would interpret as someone being after that person that wants to cause harm to them.
Bro is always coming up with new material. It's amazing.
