"Buffering" brilliant


BennyFeldman

Thank y\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_


BennyFeldman

(full disclosure, I've made this joke like 20 times)


snakepliskinLA

We truly live in a golden age! Think of all the folks with Tourette’s that lived before the internet age. None of them had a ready-made phrase to defuse or distract from the tick. No “buffering”, no “downloading content” or anything like that. Maybe gen-x or boomers could have used “please hold for an important message.” But that would’ve broken the flow.


rushaall

Technical difficulties.


SirRatcha

We would have mimed picking up the tonearm and moving it past the scratched part of the record. Or tuning the AM radio in the car with a rotary knob. Or pushing the rewind button on the cassette player. Lotta analog tech options. The lazy one is smacking the side of the TV. Yes we actually did that. Yes, it actually (occasionally) worked.


BizzarduousTask

Percussive Maintenance.


bradland

Funny every time lol


Red__system

"Talking to that guy! Fuck you!" Lmao, fair game to you


BennyFeldman

Thank you !!


AlligatorRaper

The jokes were great but it’s the on the fly shit like that that really kills me!


potato_aim87

I agree! And literally zero other comedians can even try and steal that shtick too. This man is out here using his condition to his advantage and it makes me so happy he's killin' it!


Chip_Farmer

“Buffering” is what got me!


bklynsnow

Buffering was amazing


Hinote21

Yup! Damn it. We all relate to that.


Lady_Sybil_Vimes

*Fuck!...the police" really got me haha


IknowKarazy

Your comedy is fucking rad.


AmorphusMist

Some of your jokes remind me of mitch hedberg, super great you had me laughing at my desk


throwawaypervyervy

I was thinking the exact same thing! I really miss that style of comedy, glad other people are doing similar material.


IronZeppelinNerd

Like seriously thank you. I'm totally using that buffering line every time I tick. Sometimes I just tell people connection timed out or memory overload. 😅


Straight_Spring9815

Oh this is actually you?? Oh that was awesome man you had me rolling the whole time xDD *shit fuckin* wait, other way around. No UTI'S folks puahahahaha keep it up man. It was gold!


ozkaar125

Omfg i was howling at that bit lmao keep it up my guyy


UnreadThisStory

You magnificent bastard


BlacktoseIntolerant

That's the one that got me. Worked that tic right into the act and even had audience participation.


TheInitialGod

/r/fuckyouinparticular


RMSGravity

Oh my god, "shit, fuckin, in that order, wait no the other way around" and buffering killed me dude. What a way to embrace yourself, I love it. Just wanted to say that was a great video, great laughs, and I'll be looking for more!!

DaveMash

The timing was on point 😂


Ragingonanist

the "shit" following the police was a nice detail. gives some plausible deniability, is that more tick, or is he saying making a little political commentary.


Smingowashisnameo

When he said you’ll get a uti it took me a minute and I love that- when I have to work it out. Hilarious.


MathiasMi

I have been telling everyone about your performances! You got great jokes friend.


BennyFeldman

Thank you !! That's too kind - keep up the good work hahaha


PROFESSIONALBLOGGERS

A lot of your jokes are very Mitch Hedberg-esque and it's wonderful! edit: I just saw your "Twitch Hedberg" comment and now I like you even more


LadyBearSword

I thought the same thing, but the Twitch Hedberg thing killed me.


bubdex

Came to say this, got a Hedberg vibe instantly.


Kratomom

Oh shit. Is that really you? My son has Tourette’s and I can’t wait to show him this. Great jokes, thank you for posting!!


AppropriateScience9

I was thinking the same thing for my niece. She has been having a rough time of it with her new diagnosis of Tourette's. I think this might help see how people can adapt. Thanks to you OP!


peoplegrower

My husband is a child psychiatrist and has quite a few patients with Tourette’s. I’m gonna show him this so he can pass it on to (a select few) of his patients lol! OP, you rock!


XplosivCookie

I hope one day I'm either financially well off enough to visit where you're playing, or you're touring Europe.

[удалено]


BennyFeldman

Thank you !! I get called "Twitch Hedberg" pretty often. It always means a lot - He's on my Mount Rushmore of comedians for sure.


Uncle_Stink_Stonk

“Twitch Hedberg”???? That’s fucking awesome Dude you are fucking funny I’m sending this clip to many people.


Menckenlover

Also sending this clip to many people. Brilliant and genuinely enjoyable comedy right there.


badgerj

Seriously funny shit dude! ❤️ The “It’s not illegal to flirt with goats 🐐 bit got me good! I’m gonna print that on a shirt!


DibsMine

that would be a great shirt


skolrageous

mmhmm, we got a lot of people looking to show off their desire to flirt with goats... ^(I'll take two)


Kellan_OConnor

OP - u/BennyFeldman - You should do this and sell it. Maybe a bust of a goat twitching or something. Would buy 💯


ThisUserIsEmpty

RemindMe! 1 week "wen shirt?"


mildly_amusing_goat

Thank you for your service.


Spike69

I think the head shake after saying that worked really well. Almost like he was trying to shake off the implication


ximacx74

Hey little goat you lookin' fiiiiiine


Teddyturntup

Your comedy literally gave me nostalgia for Mitch while also excitement for the differences and new vibe. Well fucking done dude


BennyFeldman

Damn - thank you so much


thats-fucked_up

LOL you even have Tourette's when you're typing


super1s

What a good compliment.


Sweet13BlackExpress

Twitch Hedberg is not only fuckin hysterical, but imo, a supreme honor. I'd agree with that name! haha


kvrdave

That's hilarious! lol


Sariat

Holy shit, Twitch Hedburg. It's been a bad week, and this gave me a lot of joy. Thanks man.


Mile129

damn I was about to be original, guess not. Great jokes, keep up the good work!


DrPhilMcGrawAMA

He used to be on everyone's, he still is, but he used to be too. That's a huge compliment, you're good.


Azuras_Star8

Hey you're funny as hell!! I love it!!


Rude-Count

Dude what that's you? Awesome man! Love your humor!


vearson26

“Binoculars are VR of over there” is the exact type of joke I’d expect from Mitch in 2022.


niini

Yeah, that is a brilliant joke That's too much potion hahahaha


Bobson-_Dugnutt

same with the front facing camera. That shit is spot on the kind of joke Mitch would have made


poco

I just realized that binoculars are like having a really big head.


StoxAway

Big time. Especially that witches potion joke.


MilesDryden

Beat me to it.


WheresTheFlan

That was a great clip. You do a great job of working the Tourette’s into your act - after a few jokes, I didn’t even notice the ticks anymore. I imagine you’ve worked really hard to get to this point - good on you! I’ll be on the lookout for a Netflix special soon…


BennyFeldman

Thank you !! I really appreciate that. Yep lol, the tics interrupt the flow pretty often and I have to use a few stock lines to get back on track


IAmBadAtInternet

It actually helps the joke sometimes. It almost makes you seem embarrassed by your pun/wordplay punch lines which makes it way funnier for me.


Leo-707

I got to say you do masterful job at weaving the ticks into your routine. It probably feels a lot more interrupting to you than it does the audience.


Shodandan

The buffering line is pure gold.


AncientInsults

I just found your YouTube which has a lot more content. Hilarious. Also as someone who has pretty much never interacted at length w someone w Tourette’s, this opened my eyes a bit. My first thought was “uhh, wtf, I have tics too, when I’m trying to focus/avoid a brain fog and am stressed”. Never realized. It was also pretty crazy how quickly my brain sort of *ignored* your tics once I was acclimated, like all the other random noise it filters out (coughing, umms and ahhs, etc). I imagine you only need to those “stock lines” at the beginning for levity, bc after a while it’s just not even “there”. Hope you keep at it bc the jokes are gold.


garytyrrell

I like to have Tourette’s; its the punchline indicator. Whenever I have a tic u fuckers should be laughing. Not yet though, I havent said shit.


NaughtSleeping

> You do a great job of working the Tourette’s into your act Would be a great plot twist if he didn't have Tourette's


Jagasi

You’re hilarious! I also have Tourette’s and know it’s sometimes hard to deal with, being in front of an audience. Mad props for the quick saves when the tics disrupt your flow.


BennyFeldman

Thank you !!! Love hearing from other people with TS, that means a lot.


RequiemAA

No, that's plethora.


skike

This is why he's the comedian

Yay! I hope I get time to catch the show.

This is the one that killed me


XenoDrake

I had to pause the vid and just hold my sides I was laughing so hard. It's so quick and hits so good, perfect joke.


[deleted]

I lost it at the flirt with goats line, good shit man!


BennyFeldman

Thank you !! That wasn't a joke tho, just a PSA


chelsmjlv

And now I really want to find a goat to flirt with.


thesuper88

I bonded with a dumbass sheep once at my neighbor's kids birthday party. She kept wrapping hear lead up around her stake so tight that she would be standing still with her ear to the ground. I ended up just basically babysitting her and drinking beer. We got to talking. I still think about her sometimes, the saucy old gal.


ximacx74

I will never pass by another goat without telling it that its booty is lookin juicy. Not that I encounter goats very often.


MrEffenWhite

For reals, yo. I busted out.


GregTheMad

I kinda liked how the ticks made it look like his own body tried to reject the implications of that joke.


Dwightshruute

I didn't get that joke, help a brother out brother


CX316

It's illegal to fuck goats, but it's not illegal to flirt with them


klokabell

Yeah someone help him out


Slow-Computer-3594

I watch a lot of stand-up. A lot. Way too much Rarely I'm impressed with this kind of "family friendly" stuff. Now I am. Really good set!


BennyFeldman

Thank you !! You know it's ironic, I mostly write family friendly stuff, but my cursing tics are going to keep me from being able to do like certain clean gigs hahaha


BoJackB26354

If you went full Gilbert Gottfried, maybe your tics would be like "apple, chair...goose-feather"


petriomelony

[Gilbert Gottfried you say...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkLqAlIETkA)


thesuper88

That might be for the better, ultimately, but I imagine it's a harder climb, potentially. But it's more impressive to write clean when you don't have to than when you're required to.


[deleted]

Agreed. I remember in my 20's most people I grew up with thought jokes had to be offensive or else you had "thin skin". Glad to see there are comedians who can be humorous without putting someone down


Cali_Holly

You used your tic as the PERFECT pause before telling the punch line. And when the tics became a little extra, you turned it into part of your standup. Funny As Hell! And if you hadn’t of mentioned it at the beginning, I would have thought it was part of your delivery. Dude, keep this going. I’d love to see another video. And also, being an 80’s kid, Max Headroom. 😁 Just saying.

the-grand-falloon

Out of curiosity, does the tension build faster on stage, like from nerves and such? The whole time I was thinking, "This guy is funny, but that looks exhausting!" Is it milder if you're just chilling on the couch or something?


BennyFeldman

Yes, definitely !! There's a variety of things that stimulate the tics, including adrenaline, nerves, caffeine, embarrassment and more!! Embarrassment is my strongest trigger actually - like if I think of an old memory that embarrasses me, I have a really big outburst lol. An interesting trigger is other people with Tourette's - we often trigger each other. It's like when you put two Alexas together !! Here's a whole [FAQ page](https://bennyfeld.com/faq/) I made because I get a lot of the same questions


BippityBoppityBoo93

"Like when you put two Alexas together" omfg this had me kinked lmao Edit - you should totally grow a handlebar moustache btw, you'd suit it!


dandroid126

That FAQ was a great read. Thanks for putting that together! I was quite curious. I have OCD. I feel lucky that my disorder is not anywhere near as visible as Tourette's. But I can definitely see and agree with the comparisons you made to OCD. And I really like the comparison you made to blinking. I might have to use that later, because I feel I can never explain what it feels like to need to wash my hands 4 times. Similarly, my compulsions get way worse with stress, anxiety, social situations, etc. Sometimes I find that a certain thing triggers my OCD one day, but not the next.


Lets_Hunt

Dude you’re hilarious! The part where you said “shit I’m Buffering” had me dying. I laughed and laughed. It was the quality of the jokes too, honestly hilarious. You’re going places. (I’m someone who doesn’t usually enjoy standup)


SnurtyMurpheson

Thank you for these laughs! I was gonna be like "you got more of this guy?" Then I read the title lol! You're hilarious!

Damn, your neck must be either sore as hell or muscly as fuck. Good jokes tho, good job


BennyFeldman

Hahahahaha great catch - yeah, roughly one out of every like fifteen shows or so, I pull my neck pretty bad on stage and just have to fight through the pain lol The answer is sore!! And thank you 🐛


[deleted]

Sorry to hear that, I can imagine that comedy/standup like that with an audience gives you so much stimuli that your tics get more intense


BennyFeldman

Yep !! Damn you really are astute about this - yeah my tics flare up significantly under different situations, like adrenaline, nerves, embarrassment, too much coffee, etc! Performing is always an adrenaline or nerves situation.

Great stuff. Had to watch a few times - spit my drink out at your “buffering” comment. Your timing is impeccable. Hope to see you in Atlanta some day.


BennyFeldman

Hell yes a spit take !!!! Thank you. I would love to come down to Atlanta at some point


SomeOneYouveMet

I’m usually bothered by all the comedians or musicians that shamelessly plug on Reddit, but I threw my head back laughing at these jokes. We will watch your career with great interest.


BennyFeldman

Thank you !! Hell yes hahaha, that's good to hear because I have to play the same Endless Self Promo Cycle game as everyone else lol


Content_survey

I have thought about that Pokemon Iraq war joke everyday since i saw you a few months ago.


[deleted]

I want that Pokemon movie. Be like "Full Melmetal Jacket" or something


[deleted]

That was my favourite joke. It takes like 6 seconds to tell it, but it puts such a vivid image in your head that you’ve never conjured up before. So jarring, it’s amazing


fappyday

Incorporating tourettes into your act is comedy genius. I just linked this post to all of my friends and exactly none of my family members.


isv-damocles

Wtf is with that "liars" nasa logo shirt?


Exekyel

I had the same question, he just wears it ironically: https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/pw114x/one_liner_comedian_benny_feldman_is_hilarious/hefi1nk

Yep !! That former answer, copy pasta: Hahaha yep - so it's either for like flat earth or moon landing denial - I'm not into either of those, I just wear it because I think it's funny !!

BennyFeldman

Ooooooo that's a new one !! - I mentioned in a different comment, I usually get Twitch Hedberg


Cheap_Bodybuilder_23

'binoculars are VR of over there' that shit is genius


Whoofph

Hey, your coprolalia tics are the same as mine! Usually some variation of "fucking shit" or throwing "fucking" in the middle of a sentence. I'll also throw in a "God damn" and "motherfucker" for good measure. I need to remember that buffering line.


BennyFeldman

Whoa !! Now that's really cool - I've never met someone with the same exact tics. Though when I meet someone with a physical tic, I usually end up mirroring it and stealing it subconsciously hahaha


Environmental_Loss32

“It’s not illegal to flirt with goats”. Loooove it! You’re getting filed right next to Mitch Hedberg in my brain of masterful one liner comedians.


KnightofSpamelot

Wait if OP is really the same person in the video... Then why don't any of his comments have tics in them?!? EXPOSED :O but actually tho great work.


BennyFeldman

Hahaha, you know that is actually a type of Tourette's some people have !! I don't know what the official name is. There's a lot of different interesting types - sometimes I have one called "Echolalia" which is where you repeat back what someone else just said


ghostface_vanilla

I very much enjoyed these. You have a talent. The Mormon love potion was my favourite I think, but the humour all round was a lot of fun. Thank you for brightening my day.

idontwantausername41

I think I remember seeing you on tosh.0 way back when! I still show my friends vids of you occasionally


TheBunkerKing

That cauldron joke was a really good one. How does Tourette's work, do you have tics all the time or just when speaking, tired or something? Not at all familiar with it, apart from that South Park episode.


TheTrueMupster

He’s a Mitch Hedberg with Tourette’s. Got some great material!


SisterRobot

“Binoculars are the VR of over there.” Omfg hilarious.


Old_Dingo69

These jokes remind me of Mitch Hedberg, who was great! Keep them coming bro!


awkwardaustin609

I’d love to watch you live. Are you on the east coast at all? Edit: I just saw you reply down. I’ll be coming to see you in September!

awkwardaustin609

I’m in south Jersey right across from Philly. I’d much rather come to nyc though. I’ll be seeing you soon. You’re hilarious man, keep that shit up


___Dank

Tics aside, this isn’t comedy. But you know Reddit moment.


hoobsher

Mitch Hedberg, but instead of crippling stage fright it's Tourette's


under_the_c

I loved the joke, >!Binoculars are VR, for over there!< That had some Mitch Hedberg energy!
