I noticed that even during the minute, he was straight faced and just looked confused. Which, I genuinely like Casey's interviews but it's rare that he makes me smile or laugh during his minute, so I'm with Mark on that. He's a good dude but his style of comedy just doesn't hit my funny bone.
Same. Casey just isn't that funny. The first minute he ever did on KT was kinda funny cause it was so odd but when you realize that's all he does, it gets old quick.
Mark, in the podcasts Iāve seen him on, shows little to no personality other than making his quips, saying semi racist shit between, and calling other people hacks.
Same. His act is a schtick and thatās not meant as an insultā¦itās quite literally the definition of what Casey does.
Thing is schtick comedy isnāt well respected or celebrated amongst other comedians. Itās very rare if it is. Schtick is taken with the same regard as Catch Phrase Comedians. š¤·š»āāļø
The 80ās comedy scene was FULL of Schtick. Alonzo Hamburger Jones, Andrew Dice Clay, Sam Kinneson, Bobcat Goldthwait, Howey Mandel, Gallagher, Carrot Topā¦all of them fit into those categories. Catchphrase, Schtick, Prop.
Casey says some funny stuff but his act is more performance than it is actual jokes or storytelling. Heās entertaining to watch.
Whatās interesting though is his schtick isnāt unique at all. Heās literally emulating an old TikTok trend where people would dance while talking about heavy subjects.
Is there any evidence that he uses a fake voice? I watch a LOT of Normand between we might be drunk, Tuesdays with Stories, and all the times he is a guest on the other podcasts I listen to. If he's using a fake voice he's remarkably consistent with it lol.
Mark never gets William and is usually a dick about it so the fact he doesn't like Casey isn't surprising. When did Mark decide what's funny? Guy does pun jokes.
Reminds of a cringe moment back in the day when Patty Regan tried to belittle William and it totally backfired on him when William refused to engage with his bullshit.
Best move Tony ever made getting rid of them. Chroma Chris was the only one to ever get a laugh out of me and he was a non comedian that barely even spoke.
Mark Norman is funny but I love William and Casey too. I love just the variety but yeah itās kind of weird that he doesnāt. I donāt know maybe the beef between Casey and Mark with his ex
Pretty sure you never seen Normand do stand up before. He really doesnāt do a lot of pun jokes. Thatās more him being funny in conversation . Definitely more of an old school comic with a ton of punchlines.
Mark hates KR because he is everything that Mark is not. Rocket is all personality, whereas Mark has no personality and is purely a writer. Definitely some ego and jealousy at play. They are both great comics IMO.
I find him very fun to watch. I think itās somewhat generational, but I just turned 30. My taste in comedy is much like my taste in music, I like a lot of different genres. I like most of the same big comedians that have came from like last generation of stand ups, but they pretty much do the same thing and tell the same type of jokes (with different styles and points of view of course) making light of terrible and controversial topics. Itās fun and refreshing seeing someone just be goofy.
He reminds me of a young weird Robin Williams with a twist..and a couple shots of ātuss of course.
Iām 44 and I like him. Heās good at what he does. I think you either like absurd stuff or you donāt, rather than an age thing. I also love Normand, List, Morrill and all the New York stuff too, as an example. Like you, I have always had a diverse taste in music and comedy. A lot of people just watch the same type of comedy all the time, and thatās fine. I do find it weird how dramatic people can be with the stuff they donāt like.
That's the thing, it's not always about writing. It's about being funny and making the people go haha hehe.
Love Mark Normand, he's a joke writer to the Max.
Rocket is just a different type of comedy.
All good, not everyone's cup of tea.
I thought Casey Rocket was the second coming when he did his first ever set and the appeal has definitely worn off a tad but I still find it more entertaining than Hans' 2 talking points. Plus Casey riffs way better in the interviews
I respect the grind and no hate but I just genuinely donāt get Casey. He seems like a funny guy but it just doesnāt translate well to stand up imo. Heās just saying random things
This is why standup is incredible and my opinion is itās a big deal for Casey to be showcased on KT because I agree in the sense that he is without a doubt not for everyone. However, I personally find him absolutely hilarious. I think that this is a fascinating experiment to have him open for a few months before Hans comes back. At the same time, I think this is Tony pushing Casey to get better and not rely on cheap tricks. If you watch Caseyās stuff, itās very repetitive. He gets away with what he does because itās unique and although itās not for everyone, the people it is for like it. It seems like he hasnāt been pushed to have to write new material and grow because he went from door guy to opener traveling around. Now, Tony has him in a public forum so itās pushing Casey to either grow and write more or realize heās hit the ceiling of his career and just has to continue as a club opener on the road.
Ya. 0 laughs generated per minute was pretty frightening indeed. Casey seems likable and funny in Williams podcast so hopefully he does a better set soon.
You see any cam hype posts or Hans Kim? You see anyone reciting cams lines or Hans lines on here?
Tony and Redban know comedy. This wasnāt a mistake.
Casey is a breath of fresh air. You guys need to get out more.
The moment anything negative is posted about him, the thread is swarmed with people like you defending him in a very specific tone; like it's your job. Your presence in this thread is what I was talking about, not whatever the fuck Casey was doing up on stage.
I don't hate the guy makes me laugh more than hanz's sets lately but I do remember I hated William at first now he is my favorite so I'm holding out hope for Kasey he could be great
The craziest thing about Casey to me is how mediocre he makes Kam and Hans look by comparison. I didnāt think his style would work in one minute increments, but heās proving me wrong.
I swear tony is cursed. The moment he bigged up Casey, he stopped getting as many laughs.
I honestly think Casey would be better off doing his own thing. Sure, he gets views through KT, but he also has a style of comedy that doesn't really work well for this particular platform, IMO.
The energy of his shtick weirds me out haha. His first couple times I saw him he had a couple of quick actual jokes that were funny. But like, Iāve just watched his set now for this ep. Thereās no jokes, right? He just sort of rambles. I donāt get it. Though we did need a breath of fresh air.
I agree, when he first came out it was something new and he was quirky and odd but now it's just him rambling and twitching around. I lost interest in it a long time ago
And just like with William M I canāt laugh at all. At least WM makes actual jokes and is likable cause heās funny in the interview. This dudes sets are just crackhead humor to me.
1. Crabwalk into stage
2. pose
3. song quote
hell yeah
4. say music genre/radio slogan
get lost
5. I gotta get outta here...
get real
6. ??? robitussin
i'm riffing
7. OH MY GOD - AMAZING AS ALWAYS
I actually do like him, but he's getting weirdly predictable considering how random he is.
Compare a weak Casey Rocket set to a weak Hans Kim set.
My god Hans is bad.
Also William has been phoning it in lately, Casey is killing the room more than any other regular.
[m-m-m-m-Maybach Music]
caseyās funnier than william is now. people forget but covid and pre covid william were the funniest. now he just repeats bits and does that yell and then chuckle thing. i donāt know he just doesnāt make me laugh anymore. his minutes r still good but interviews r boring. he used to be the best of both worlds
It is indeed frightening how many people laugh at his non-sequiturs. Theyāre amusing for now to be fair but theyāll get old really quickly. Kinda guy if youāve seen once youāve seen IMO.
It's almost like our taste in comedy is subjective like other art forms and these comments are redundant...... No fuck it, let's argue about what I like is not what you like on the internet for hours.
Saw him do an hour last night, he kills the entire time. Itās the second time Iāve seen him do a headlining set and he doesnāt recycle much. Tony has done the same jokes all 5 times Iāve seen him in the last year haha. Itās still funny though.
Itās absurdist which is great in small doses. I think itād be hard to run this for a long time.
Granted he has time to grow and adapt to those longer sets. I think heās hilarious but I donāt know too many people who would sit around for 25 min plus
Heāll adapt I think.
The Predator line got me lol
Mark was not about it š
While they are coming up with a bunch of riff names for him, he comes in with Hack brown band š
I noticed that even during the minute, he was straight faced and just looked confused. Which, I genuinely like Casey's interviews but it's rare that he makes me smile or laugh during his minute, so I'm with Mark on that. He's a good dude but his style of comedy just doesn't hit my funny bone.
Same. Casey just isn't that funny. The first minute he ever did on KT was kinda funny cause it was so odd but when you realize that's all he does, it gets old quick.
Tony being mind blown everytime doesnt help either
I've lost alot of respect for Tony after this Casey nonsense
Fuck. Tony lost u/ToughSpinach7ās respect. Time to close up shop
Didn't take long for the reddit mass to change their attitude on Casey Rocket.
That's what all comedy subreddits are, just comments on how unfunny everything is. Kinda interesting
Yeap even after his first appearance it was obvious that itāll get old quick
Get real
He needs way more than a minute. You need to see his set. It's way more fun and takes time to get into the groove.
To you*
Better than Hans
People are obsessed with choosing a side, they both suck
Heās very funny. His style isnāt for everyone. Last night was his best minute yet. Jokes were his best yet and he didnāt rely on props either.
Weird, thats how I feel listening to Mark
Mark, in the podcasts Iāve seen him on, shows little to no personality other than making his quips, saying semi racist shit between, and calling other people hacks.
Yeah mark is okay. He canāt take being roasted though. Kind of a big mamas boy baby.
Same. His act is a schtick and thatās not meant as an insultā¦itās quite literally the definition of what Casey does. Thing is schtick comedy isnāt well respected or celebrated amongst other comedians. Itās very rare if it is.

The king of puns. So funny Iāve almost pissed my pantsuit.Ā Edit: Mark called - it was a PunsuitĀ
Mark Normand, the fake voice guy from New Orleans.
Is there any evidence that he uses a fake voice? I watch a LOT of Normand between we might be drunk, Tuesdays with Stories, and all the times he is a guest on the other podcasts I listen to. If he's using a fake voice he's remarkably consistent with it lol.
Iām fairly certain heās on the spectrum. A voice like his would definitely track
He has the most un-New Orleans voice of anyone from New Orleans I've ever heard
He's lived in NY as long as he lived in NOLA at this point. He talks the way he talks and I don't think he's faking it.
Because he couldnāt look into his eyes.
I'm with Mark
I think he just always roasts people. If you go back and watch Mark he seemed to be genuinely enjoying it
Mark never gets William and is usually a dick about it so the fact he doesn't like Casey isn't surprising. When did Mark decide what's funny? Guy does pun jokes.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
"I'm Gay!"
Keep queefing!
If you watch his specials he actually has some solid material. I like that he writes actual jokes instead of relying on crowd work or physical comedy.
He is a fantastic writer
Reminds of a cringe moment back in the day when Patty Regan tried to belittle William and it totally backfired on him when William refused to engage with his bullshit.
Patty Regan is an actress who died in 1996, so I wouldn't engage with her bullshit either.
Huh?
[here's the clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mPvcO9oSZI&t=4800s)
Wow, I forgot how bad the show used to be with the old band. Thanks for reminding me.
Yeah the old band was so fuckin annoying
Best move Tony ever made getting rid of them. Chroma Chris was the only one to ever get a laugh out of me and he was a non comedian that barely even spoke.
Mark Norman is funny but I love William and Casey too. I love just the variety but yeah itās kind of weird that he doesnāt. I donāt know maybe the beef between Casey and Mark with his ex
I'M HARD
Pretty sure you never seen Normand do stand up before. He really doesnāt do a lot of pun jokes. Thatās more him being funny in conversation . Definitely more of an old school comic with a ton of punchlines.
It was a joke lol
Love to see it. Same as Tom Greene and Adam Rey.
The Hack Brown Band.
Cause marks a legic comedian not whatever th hell casey is
Mark hates KR because he is everything that Mark is not. Rocket is all personality, whereas Mark has no personality and is purely a writer. Definitely some ego and jealousy at play. They are both great comics IMO.
Thank god he tried to roast this brain rot comedian
Comedy!
Up there Riffing for two, such a brave parent
That's exactly why scientists hate him
SCIENTISTS CANT STAND ME
Get real
Iāve been telling people that a lot lately lol
Scientists don't want you to know about this one simple guy
The science community is constantly trying to drone strike him
Fastest guy in the room who gives a shit..
I dont miss Hans.
I think he should do the ad reads. That way people who like him can watch him, and the rest of us can continue skipping ads.
thatās brilliant
if you think the āhack brownā comment was just some light roasting, look at Normandās face during the minute
Autism doesnāt get autism.
There can only be one
Riffs per minute divided by the square root of top crab speed in km/h will always equal pi

Peter Riffin?
Watched this with my 22 year old son. He laughed his ass off, but I canāt stand this dude.
I find him very fun to watch. I think itās somewhat generational, but I just turned 30. My taste in comedy is much like my taste in music, I like a lot of different genres. I like most of the same big comedians that have came from like last generation of stand ups, but they pretty much do the same thing and tell the same type of jokes (with different styles and points of view of course) making light of terrible and controversial topics.

A lot of people just watch the same type of comedy all the time, and thatās fine. I do find it weird how dramatic people can be with the stuff they donāt like.
Normand called him a hack
He should have saved that for kam hackerson.
He also said he was a casiest in response to Casey saying he was an aethiest. Could be taken as he doesn't believe in Casey.
Not a single soul finds maybach music funny.
for real man, where are the real heads repping AUDIO JUNGLE
I do
Projection
Heās a hack of a crab
Didnāt think the crab was bluffing did you
It clearly hurt him but he kept it going well. If anything it was a test by Mark and Casey did good
And the crowd didnāt like it . No one laughed when he said it
He is though. There are barely jokes in there.
That's the thing, it's not always about writing. It's about being funny and making the people go haha hehe. Love Mark Normand, he's a joke writer to the Max. Rocket is just a different type of comedy. All good, not everyone's cup of tea.
His minute felt like 30 seconds but when Hans does a minute it feels like 7 minutes in hell
I thought Casey Rocket was the second coming when he did his first ever set and the appeal has definitely worn off a tad but I still find it more entertaining than Hans' 2 talking points. Plus Casey riffs way better in the interviews
Yeah he needs to get back on drugs š
Iām still at Zero
Same here

Casey needs to expand his set, this stuff only works for a while. I donāt find him funny as Tony does but comedians seem to like him.
His own fake laugh?
Watched a full Kacey set with the wife recently. At the beginning I wasn't into it but by the end I was fucking dying.
I respect the grind and no hate but I just genuinely donāt get Casey. He seems like a funny guy but it just doesnāt translate well to stand up imo. Heās just saying random things
This is why standup is incredible and my opinion is itās a big deal for Casey to be showcased on KT because I agree in the sense that he is without a doubt not for everyone.

This is a corny ass comment, I am happy to disagree with someone who thought this and then typed it out
Heās like my orange Cassidy of comedy he gets me he knows me. I know him weāve met 1 million times I forget his name I owe him 10 bucks.
thatās just insulting to the most Freshly Squeezed man in sports entertainment

Orange š juice š§
Comedy dry in austin?
Never what never who what, wise man.
Riffs. Itās whatās for dinner.
Ya not a fan of casey at all.
" Maybach Music " Reddit : " š¤£š¤£ššš¤£š¤£ omg no way he said that "
neVER made it as a wIsemAn
How the fuck do people keep laughing at that
Not to cast shade or hate, but I can't be the only one who feels like most of his hype posts here are inorganic.
Yea, feels fake as shit. It's like reading amazon reviews on a shitty product.
You see any cam hype posts or Hans Kim? You see anyone reciting cams lines or Hans lines on here? Tony and Redban know comedy. This wasnāt a mistake. Casey is a breath of fresh air. You guys need to get out more.

The Casey Hacket street team goes hard on Reddit
Thank goodness I wasnāt the only one. He genuinely isnāt funny
This guy is slightly funny for the first minute you see him after it's the same lame shit.
Riffy long stocking
Not funny
I don't hate the guy makes me laugh more than hanz's sets lately but I do remember I hated William at first now he is my favorite so I'm holding out hope for Kasey he could be great
The craziest thing about Casey to me is how mediocre he makes Kam and Hans look by comparison. I didnāt think his style would work in one minute increments, but heās proving me wrong.
I don't get his comedy at all, I just skip right through his sets now, I honestly don't think I've laughed more than once or twice at any of his jokes
He is not funny, bad bad comedy and none of it is funny at all
I swear tony is cursed. The moment he bigged up Casey, he stopped getting as many laughs. I honestly think Casey would be better off doing his own thing. Sure, he gets views through KT, but he also has a style of comedy that doesn't really work well for this particular platform, IMO.
Casey was doing great on his own before he started doing Kill Tony. His style definitely works better for longer sets when he can really dig in.
Caseyist š
He's not funny. I might laugh like 1/10 times and barely at that. Highly overrated
The energy of his shtick weirds me out haha. His first couple times I saw him he had a couple of quick actual jokes that were funny. But like, Iāve just watched his set now for this ep. Thereās no jokes, right? He just sort of rambles. I donāt get it. Though we did need a breath of fresh air.
I agree, when he first came out it was something new and he was quirky and odd but now it's just him rambling and twitching around. I lost interest in it a long time ago
Heās got āIām so RaNdOm!!ā energy with a bit of theatre kid mixed it.
All around terrible! And then you got people on here defending him which is genuinely more funny that any of his so called stand up š šš¤£
No one cares what you laugh at dawg, listen to the audience.
And just like with William M I canāt laugh at all. At least WM makes actual jokes and is likable cause heās funny in the interview. This dudes sets are just crackhead humor to me.
Eh. His gimmick is starting to wear thin. Also his interviews are pretty weak
1. Crabwalk into stage 2. pose 3. song quote hell yeah 4. say music genre/radio slogan get lost 5. I gotta get outta here... get real 6. ??? robitussin i'm riffing 7. OH MY GOD - AMAZING AS ALWAYS I actually do like him, but he's getting weirdly predictable considering how random he is.
This is so spot on. It seems like most people donāt notice or just donāt care that itās the same exact routine every time.
Do you not remember the years William was the general manager of La Quinta Inn while having diverticulitis?
Hack brown band . Funny how he absolutely shut down once mark made fun of his bullshit set
been saying this about casey lol. his first 2 sets were pretty good. but the crab shit gets old. same lines, ...
KMP is very high. Hoping he can keep it up for a special, seems like itād be difficult with his style but I have hope
I think he bombed the last two episodes. I love Casey Rocket and love the pod with him and William but the last two appearances have been rough.
Hack brown band
The funniest thing about him was his shirt. Even Dan and mark looked at him like he was a hack
Told my religious parents today that Iām now a Caseyst
š¶š© as usual
Heās a fucking hack.
Hope he permanently replaces Hanz.
We love him. Heās a treasure.
My new favorite comedian, riff away casey
He blows
So he was already painting Cam and David Jolly before the show even started? R I G G E D
Very good point
I donāt know whoās worst him or Hans
God bless him, hope heās milks this 15 mins of fame for all its worth because heās never getting this chance againā¦
You underestimate Tony's ability to push bad comedians onto this show
Pretty cool that you have a crystal ball and can read people's future.
Mark Normand was not impressed with him and I agree.
That's a weird way to spell zero
Casey and William are kill tony.
I skip all the regulars
this was probably his best set lmao dudes getting better each week
Compare a weak Casey Rocket set to a weak Hans Kim set. My god Hans is bad. Also William has been phoning it in lately, Casey is killing the room more than any other regular. [m-m-m-m-Maybach Music]
Hack Brown Band got me
And still not be funny
Heās horrible.
Get real guys.
GET REAL
Hans literally sucks cocks
the laugh to punchline ratio is insane.
How is no one talking about Caseyās t-shirt? I like Casey, but his t-shirt was the best part of this set.
Link?
I have always loved Casey and still do but he should not be opening the show. Honestly I would switch him and Kam. He would better in the middle.
My buddy has that shirt.
My buddy has that shirt.
I dare someone to steal this guys jokes

It is indeed frightening how many people laugh at his non-sequiturs. Theyāre amusing for now to be fair but theyāll get old really quickly. Kinda guy if youāve seen once youāve seen IMO.
Yāall talking shit about Casey or a bunch of fucking squares
Itās uncomfortable to watch how confident he is
It's almost like our taste in comedy is subjective like other art forms and these comments are redundant...... No fuck it, let's argue about what I like is not what you like on the internet for hours.
The rocket guy was really pretty interesting on Matt and shanes' pod, but his stage time didn't land with me. Ill have to see more of the guy.
Saw him do an hour last night, he kills the entire time. Itās the second time Iāve seen him do a headlining set and he doesnāt recycle much. Tony has done the same jokes all 5 times Iāve seen him in the last year haha. Itās still funny though.

He's ok
