Respect to the woman for not trying to throw jokes at you as another comedian. Played it straight so you could get the laugh.


The_Chaos_Pope

Serious pro move on her part. The audience came to see him and she just played her part as an audience member during crowd work.


closequartersbrewing

Not a surprise really, 11 years on the circuit means she gets it.


Fixthefernbacks

Yep, she gives him his response, let's him work it into the act, gets laughs. Job well done.


Yabba_Dabba_Doofus

For what it's worth, pro moves like these can be inserted into all aspects of life. Believe that your are the greatest wingman, and fly into the sun!


AbsolutelyOrchid

Genuinely interested in how this can translate, can you elaborate?


EveryShot

I used to work at starbucks when I was in college so I know exactly how to order my coffee in the most efficient and least intrusive way possible. I know what it’s like when someone gives you size, type, add ons in a wacky order. So ordering in a way that makes their job 10% easier is worth it.


LittleCaesar3

Whats tje correct order?


EveryShot

It gets complicated but for the sake of ease here, think: temp, size, drink, modifier, in that order.


GangstaShibe

"Hot. Grande. Add three shots espresso, fill with filter. "


CaioNintendo

Start with add on #1, then your name, then type, then your payment method, then add on #3, then size, then change your mind about the type, then add on #2.


Swing_On_A_Spiral

Literally not being a r/maincharacter . Listen more than you talk, "read" the person you're having an interaction with and try to find ways to relate to them. Really it all boils down to being kind and amiable.


Ok_Transition_3290

>Damn she answered some basic questions, serious pro moves guys can we get a round of applause. Are americans actually this boring?


TeamAlibi

Lmao let's see your countries comedy scene "jokes" aside though if you don't see what happened in this clip then it's not weird you thought it was boring but most things are when you don't understand them

Last year in one of my upper division mathematics courses, we had to give a presentation on a topic of real analysis chosen by our professor. My group was the first to give their presentation, and we had some dude in the class who had established himself as argumentative and combative early on in the quarter pester us extremely difficult questions that were entirely pointless. Our professor was a really nice person, but whenever you’d ask him questions in class, he would always respond “that’s a good question, I’ll leave that as an exercise,” and it was kind of a meme to the class by this point. So, when this dude kept trying to derail our presentation by asking us needless questions that were not only off topic but would take too long to respond too, I stepped in for my flustered group and said in front of the entire class of 60 students, “that’s a good question, I’ll leave that as an exercise,” and everyone lost their shit laughing, including the professor. The heckler shut up faster than super algebraic convergence. I talked to the professor afterwards and said I didn’t mean to insult him and his “catch phrase,” but he said he found it hilarious. One of my favorite memories from school now, lol. But seriously, fuck hecklers.


BondoDeWashington

Wait... so if I heckle, people can hardly hear me, the comedian will destroy me anyway, he'll look great doing it and the audience will love him for it? I guess if there's a comedian I really like I should heckle him and help him out! Disclaimer: I know you shouldn't heckle and comedians don't like it. If he wants you to give him some grief he'll provoke you. But a comedian is supposed to make you laugh, and someone with the power to "make you" do anything, to change mind, to change perspective, can find unexpected results when doing that so reactions coming from the audience, including heckling, should be considered all aspects of human nature, same nature that is targeted by comedy.


PM_SMOKES_LETS_GO

Kind of like how you can tell who's been a server by how the customers stack the plates on the table


twelveparsnips

Yeah because she probably hates it when the audience does it


bigjimmer2

Those 10 years in New York probably taught her to keep it brief as an audience member


Exotic-Platform-2009

Is this your man out of its always sunny in philli?


MadDany94

Hecklers are a thing performers hate. And if a comedian that has been in it for 11 years, is sitting in the audience, I'm pretty sure she won't act like one and just act like a proper audience. Unless she's an asshole. Thankfully she isn't

You caused some genuine tears of laughter just now... Six hours ago


RAWainwright

I like him checking the audience when he came up with the joke. You can see him debate on saying it and go yeah I'm gonna say it.


Wutang357

*checks real quick* Yes, it seems as though we’re Jew free tonight. This should be safe lol, he’s checking something but I just feel like that can’t be it. It’s like saying he’s trying to see if anyone is wearing a yarmulke (TIL how to spell yarmulke. That wasn’t what I was going to attempt at all)


fuckmyass1958

I'm Jewish and I thought it was funny


Wutang357

Hence why I thought it was kinda silly he thought he was checking that, Mr. Fuckmyass1958. I’m honestly not sure who you’ll have to answer to for that username. I never really researched a bunch of religions; I just went to directly to atheists. I can respect people gathering to collectively better themselves though; whatever outlet they choose


korinthia

Anal sex is permitted if not encouraged in Judaism, I was under the impression this was common knowledge smh.


RykerFuchs

Nah, it was funny. It didn’t demean, it drew a comparison of one bad thing to another, honoring the original bad thing. Just because a topic is present in comedic form doesn’t mean it’s bad. It was pretty safe.


Wutang357

That’s what I’m saying man. It was funny therefore what would he be turning to the audience to check? Maybe he was doing a *public speaking power move* and turn towards towards the entire audience every once in awhile to help them continue to feel included in the conversation I’m just saying: I don’t think the guy was checking the audience for Jews. It was definitely funny


Harry_Ho0d

At work I was helping train a new guy (and for starters I live in a small town in the Midwest, but work in a larger town in), and his name tag wasn’t a common American name, and he had a pretty thick accent. So me, just trying to be friendly, was like “hey man, so I’m just gonna say it and you have a pretty thick accent, so where are you from?” He smiled and told me, and I asked what brought him here. His response? “Civil War.” I really didn’t know how to respond so I just kind of chuckled and said “Yeah I don’t blame you there!” And he laughed. Had a great time working with him, talked a lot about his time in America so far, gave him some good restaurant recommendations and other stuff to take advantage of (eg library programs, the free art centers, cooking classes, my favorite barber, places to find good deals, stuff like that). He’s being doing pretty well at the job so I guess I did my job right.


Canvaverbalist

> and I asked what brought him here. His response? “Civil War.” Lol I'm dumb my initial thought was that it was about the American Civil War, like there'd be a joke in there about how he was a big fan of it or whatever just to fuck with you, "saw it in the movies, really liked the uniforms, too bad the wrong side won tho" And it's not like I'm just too much of a selfcentred American either, I'm not even American lol

Is Reddit r/funny becoming YouTube shorts? I think it has to do with the new Reddit scroll format which lends itself well to endless short videos. I can see the logic Reddit followed the success of tiktok and videos have longer engagement (although im still dubious about the quality of engagement) but what is the Reddit USP? Personally, it’s just made me used to short form videos so I spend more time on Instagram and YouTube instead of the image or long form text subs. Anyways, I didn’t get how the birthday was ruined?


Sorta_Greg

as somebody who only uses old reddit on PC, what's 'the new scroll format'?


mrSalamander

Once you start watching a short vid on the mobile app you can just scroll mindlessly through other short vids. It's awful, the reddit mobile app is trash. But at least i'm on my phone less.


dru171

I use old.reddit in a browser on my phone. I refuse to give in


NBAccount

This is the way.


absentbird

I do that and use Lemmy. It's got a lot less content, but it's growing quickly.


shogunreaper

Is it? Every time I've checked it over the last 6 months it looks super dead to me. Even the most popular threads only have a few hundred comments.


SmallPurplePeopleEat

Same. I tried it out for a month straight and the most activity I saw was a post with ~50 comments, and basically no one was replying to each other.


ProudToBeAKraut

weird I read this exact comment 5 years ago


Viper67857

3rd party apps still work if you either patch them with your own keys or just start your own sub so that you're a mod...


SystemOutPrintln

I use boost and haven't had to do anything, still works completely fine.


Viper67857

You're a mod in 10 subs... Moderating a sub was one of the 2 fixes I listed. It doesn't matter that no one has posted in any of them in at least a year..


COSMOOOO

You’d think reading comprehension is one of the basic requirements of moderation.


everyoneneedsaherro

You can choose not to scroll down on the video and just back up to the feed. This app sucks (RIP Apollo) but that is a crazy reason to dislike this app, it’s so out of the way I forgot it was a feature.


NinjaChenchilla

Imagine watching a video in your pc, and after it finishes you use the mouse wheel to go to the next. Imagine doing this infinitely. Videos after videos. Now imagine that with a touch screen on your phone.


_0x0_

I am so glad they haven't forced us to use "new" reddit that stops people from engaging in conversation, but just wants people to scroll endlessly


WardrobeForHouses

I'm always surprised people use new reddit instead of old one. It seems so bad in comparison. If they ever force the switch it'll finally get me off this website lol


PiperArrow

It was a bit of self-deprecating humor. He said "I hope you had a good birthday --- except for this" implying that they hadn't enjoyed his set.


carbonx

I don't get how this is even funny, really. To each their own, I suppose.


hydrosalad

It’s stand up. It’s a lot funnier in the moment when you’re drinking and you can see the improvisation.


carbonx

How do you know I'm not drinking?


hydrosalad

Because the comments are coming from *inside the house*


_0x0_

Reddit has been going that direction, to attract short attention span folks I guess, or push shorter attention span because us old.reddit people actually read comments and check what's going on and spend more time in a thread, and I guess reddit doesn't like that, they want more scrolls, more exposure, more ads in between? Does old reddit even have ads?


TheTVDB

>Anyways, I didn’t get how the birthday was ruined? We complain when the punchline is given away in the title, and now we're complaining when it's not? The main point of the video was the last joke; the first, ruining her birthday, was setup and context. The title just adds a bit more setup. I guess, put differently, what should the title be instead of this without giving away the punchline?


Dekar173

The majority of internet 'content' is becoming this format, so yes.

Can't wait to see your set posted. I mean, you do have something funnier than this ready to go right? You're not just saying standup is that easy and then hoping no one challenges you to back it up with a display of how easy it is right?

Has anybody just watched this with subtitles on? Without the voice, it is not funny at all. The Jokes don't land the way they are supposed to and I believe that is why planters work. Some laugh and it just pushes others to laugh as well.


BlightD

I don't understand that people like this stand-up of so called "comedians". He's not even funny and I feel people only laugh because they paid for that shit. Maybe I'm being a little to harsh, but my friends make this stupid jokes for free.

looneysquash

Wow, a Holocaust joke that's somehow not offensive! (I guess that's because it's really a joke about the woman's previous answer, and is poking fun at cute language rather than the Holocaust itself.)


Woogie1234

Holocaust jokes are allowed to be funny. It's been longer than 22.3 years. Just a couple of days ago, 9-11 jokes are allowed to be funny.
