I love Jim Breuer. I once wanted to order a DVD from the US with his stand-up, but because of shipping costs was unavailable due to the fact that I live in the Netherlands. He sent me the DVD for free with a personal note. Thanks again Jim.
Wow, that shit is actually really cool!! What a great guy, most people wouldn't do that. They wouldn't even reply or open any message or letter that gets sent to them. That's really dope though, cool to know
Jim did a meet-n-greet at my record store promoting his album (on Metal Blade records). He was so nice to everyone that came in. Told stories and was so personable. I had 4 tickets comp'd to his show to give away at the MNG but he gave me n my wife two tickets for ourselves. He also sent a msg to meet him after the show and he thanked me n bought me a beer. Just insanely nice. Thanks Jim. Fuckin class act.
The guy does a brilliant job of describing the way you suffer as a human being when you’re in a toxic environment at work. It’s beautiful to see he kept his integrity. And all the respect to his wife for being supportive yet tough “look at you, you’re miserable… this is not Jim. Where’s goofy uplifting Jim” All the respect for his honesty. I bet there are people that this helps them feeling like someone else knows that sort of misery but got out of there & how good it feels when you look back knowing you’re ok now
Honestly while watching Jim Breuer go through the pains of working in that environment at SNL I could relate.When you show up everyday and you look around to people who are so sullen , barely even socially aware, just ignorant ,that is my current reality at work. Going to take the advice and move on...no job is worth the b.s
Man I’ve always loved Jim Bruer, but within the past three years he has really shown himself to be a solid dude with a good head on his shoulders that doesn’t just lie down for people. Utmost respect
He's a funny guy but his body language is the very definition of annoying. The constant flopping combined with that flat look probably gets him in fights everywhere he goes.
"If any job makes you that miserable...." word! These are words to live by! And for him to give a positive shout out to his wife is very admirable (so said all wives who watch this, haha) Totally salute him for walking away! That is a normal and healthy response to the bullying that goes on in many jobs.

They probably shaped my sense of humor more than anything else in my life. I probably saw every episode three times before finishing high school, just because it was always on Comedy Central.
I met Dave Foley once on the set of Kids in the Halls "Death Comes to Town". My son was the baby that played baby Ricky/ the test baby in the abortion clinic. Dave made a special point to personally come meet us in the trailer, make sure everything was great and the crew was treating us well, and then held my son for about 2 hours as they set up just to get to know him. It seriously doesn't get nicer than that dude.
I've been in a sorta similar workplace environment. Your idea gets shot down at one meeting. A month later, someone else brings up the same idea, and "Gee, what a great idea!" It was great relief getting the hell outta there.
My ex used to do this to me. I could say something interesting to him about the rainforest. Like how many inches of rain it gets a year or whatever. And he'd pretend like he was ignoring me as if he didn't care. Then a week later he'd tell me the EXACT thing I said about the rainforest as if he is educating me on it. Lmao. Weird as hell. It's a form of gaslighting.
Cameron Diaz (whom I was not a fan of) walked away on top from eight digit paychecks to raise a kid and family. They’re out there. Not many. Hollywood is dead, they just don’t know it.
When Breuer was one of the funniest dudes on SNL back in the day. I taught myself how to do Goat Boy as a twelve year old. When I took an improv class twenty years later and we were animals I let out his goat sound, it crushed every time. Pretty sure I owe him royalties on those laughs.
Jim is not only really funny, but also just a really nice guy. It's not often that you get that combination. Usually when someone is really funny it is because they have serious boundary issues.
@@derrickseals3862 been there but best decision i made was to quit and found a new job that i ended up loving. Just gotta envision what you want and it will come.
I never knew this about Jim. I photographed him when he was on Sirus and he was really great to me. I was in the studio with him while he was taping his talk show with his 2 co-stars and it was a great experience thanks to Jim.
I met Jim Breuer at Newark Airport a few years ago. He was super cool, friendly and minding his own business.. he took the time to give me advice on being a father and how to get my life together. I was going through some shit at the time. He's a real one and I'll never forget him. Edit: a word
I remember when Jim was on SNL. Goat boy, in my opinion, is the absolute most hilarious skit/s I've ever seen. The "free drinks at the bar" story, whether true or not, is pure comedy genius. Between SNL, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, and Price is Right which one has been on TV the longest? Does anyone wanna take a guess at when will SNL end if it ever does end.
I love how he's trying to be nice and not name names in the story about how somebody stole his sketch, and then from the impressions you can clearly tell it's Kattan ;')

This was all Lorne Michaels. Even if he didnt actively encourage he sure as hell didnt do anything to stop it. It's his own little comedy sweatshop. With cheaper and cheaper product as time goes by.
I feel the same way, He must be a tyrant and he used the old 'divide and conquer' method to further his career. SNL has been a joke for the last 30 years or so and not a good joke either.
I used to love SNL, but haven’t watched it in years. I never had any idea that writers had so much pull there. Jim is hilarious, went see him perform locally a few years back. Was a great show!
Yeah, I was under the impression the cast wrote most of their own skits and made up their characters as well. That the writers were there to tidy up the loose ends, right?
So much respect for Jim...Calls it like it is, will always have "real people" around him as long as he keeps using his own mind...He a luckier person maybe than he realizes...🙏
Ive always liked Breuer he seems like a genuine guy......i feel like when he tells a story hes telling it how it happened, instead of telling it in a way to make himself look better.
Just listening to how they treated him was very well said . I have been treated like I didn't matter while ppl were getting credit for my work. It's an insult to know what they're doing, yet they try to hide it or act like you're crazy. They will rip you up and make you out to be crazy, like they've done so many times before.
If you keep your ideas to yourself, how would you ever do anything in entertainment? This is a dumb comment. Yeah people try to steal but how could you ever make a movie or a show without telling other people your ideas so they can all make it like any complex production does. You must be like 14 and naive or something because keeping your ideas to yourself will give you literally nothing in life lol.
always thought he was ok, but HUGE fan now! has the balls to speak honestly in this day & age. hope more & more celebrities see that there’s a huge market for real comedy & patriotic normal entertainment !
I used to smoke weed like it was going out of fashion but stopped abruptly as it wasn't enjoyable anymore but after six months I came out of the weed-bubble and I now think more coherently and positively.
To me, it goes back to Tina Fey pushed up the ladder while an NBC big shot bullied Norm out of SNL over OJ Simpson jokes. It's always been political on SNL. Chevy Chase admitted they were all liberals using the show politically, actually trying to affect real-world outcomes in US elections. He mocked the nonsense obsession they had in destroying Sarah Palin, where the motives were obvious. These aren't nice people. This is also New York, so the scummy elitism is off the scale.
@@corbydinzen5356 The point being, that after years of hearing their absurd statements in award shows, their disdain for many average people in the US, and hatred for anyone that disagrees with them politically.... the fact that they are terrible coworkers "made perfect sense".
Also, they have about a 10% hit rate on actually being funny. And I mean since the VERY beginning. These days it is more like 1% are funny. Compare that to something like Key & Peele. Consistently funny, rare misses.
I only watched SNL in the beginning so i do not know the newer cast members.. The name Jim Breuer is familiar but now I'll know his face. Love he thinks for himself!
omg, I love Jim, man, and I've been watching the guy for quite some time and he's so chill and to bring this dude on the brink of violence is something...
I was on a different Tab looking up how much time is left on Joe's spotify deal and my Speaker went nuts with Jim screaming that shit. I love you Jim but FFS bring it down a notch Jim.
That rant is scary good!…….I mean, he switched on a dime, to that moment of anger……..he transported to 1998 !……. It shows his passion….his heart……his honesty……..his incredible acting chops…..but it wasn’t acting…..he went to that emotion better then a Brando or Bale…..🫡🎩
Well what do you want him to do, stop the guy and tell him to calm down? He let's his guests express themselves how they want to and he reacts as respectful as he can. But who the fuck am I? Lol
@@RouxRouxRingo That, and he probably figures an audience hearing a celebrity emotionally going off about toxic behind the scenes stuff on a TV show a lot of us grew up watching, makes for good radio. Why get in the way of that?
@@sainters7 exactly, thanks for adding that. Your input was appreciated. I'm loving the conversations I've been having through RUclips comments lately. One great thing this pandemic has done for me!
Had the pleasure seeing Jim live a few years back. Dude did a skit about bringing his family on an African safari and he was doing all the animal noises and how freaked out they were. Shit had my and my wife dying.
I actually went to Dan Gables wresting camp when I was 10. Him, Tom, and Terry Brands were awesome coaches. Not only did it make me a better wrestler it gave me good fundamentals and a lot of discipline that I still use in every aspect of my life. Really cool to see him on Joe’s podcast.
One of my favorite things about Joe is that he’s a good friend to his friends. He had so much respect for Phil and he makes sure to keep his memory alive with his audience. A true friend.
@@norm-fy5mo Chris idk but the kid will always be his brother. Is it just me or are these new attempts by Chris trying to make a comeback a little weird?
I got a borderline panic attack listening to Jim. I know what it’s like to be in a toxic workplace. It’s agitating just listening to and knowing that feeling.
That sucks. Is that usually with work thats competitive? I'm scared of having a job like that because I'm so sensitive lmao I would probably cry everyday. I've always just kept to myself, been cordial but thats it and it seems to work against me if I want to "climb the ladder"
In 2011 I picked up some part time hours on nights and weekends at one of those pop up Halloween stores and Jim came in with his daughter and was super friendly and respectful of people talking to him and asking him questions! Really down to earth human being! He’s too nice for hollyweird!
I'm sure it's always been like that. You're in a business with tons of individuals who have giant egos, then there's favoritism and kissing ass. I had to deal with the same shit in college when I majored in art, it was garbage. Most businesses environments are the same, especially when it comes to creative decisions and projects.
I kind of think today's backstage isn't nearly as competitive with the greatest comedians in the world striving for their material as it used to be....
@@aus-li and that's why media hate youtubers and social media creators, and try to show them that the next step over social media is Hollywood or Mainstream media, at the end all is BS.
You also keep getting the daily notifications that Spotify has deemed old episodes now acceptable to watch again? Are there any seriously die hard fans who have put in the effort to see if anything has been edited out of these "new" episodes?
"If any job, no matter how much it paid, makes you a miserable human being, and changes the person you are, you aren't gonna work there." FANTASTIC quote, and something everyone should take to heart. I have left horrible jobs in my career and never realized how miserable I was until I moved on.
I like how Jim gave us the real stories behind the scenes at SNL. I always wondered why some really good sketch artists always seemed to leave at some point from the show. Sounds like it ruins a persons love fir the craft.
He has always come across as such a down to earth guy. He’s likely pushed to an unreal stress level - heard him say on his podcast his beloved wife is battling some scary health issues. love him so much as a comedian and who he seems to be as a person.
Listen to any of his stories on his family and father on O&A, Breuer is probably THE best storyteller on that show, if not, one of the best, and doesn't shy away from most things either, tells it pretty much like it is, he's a very good dude.👍
@@johnabillz4457 that's cool, your dad's a lucky guy 😁I'm going to one of Breuer's show this year hopefully,if I can find time, been watching him since his SNL days, very funny then and very funny now, one of the very few celebrities I look up to 👍
He refused to detach himself from being a loving human being. That's what it takes to make it in the fame game. The higher up, the more miserable they become. Much love and respect to Jim! I just watched his other JR appearances and yeah, he's just a good human being with a good logical head on his shoulders.
If you're ever driving or just have some time to yourself, you can the absolute best Breuer stories are of him on Opie and Anthony, ones called Pizza Man (about his mafioso neighbor) the and his crazy elderly mother secretly abusing his father who had dementia, whom had to move into Jim's house whilst his mom lived alone but had like day nurses /maids over. Sounds dark but Jim's so funny and has a heart of gold.
I agree. I personally can't stand it when people do this ish in front of me. Joe held it together well considering the confined space, volume, and his own hot head. It's transparent tough-guy bravado with a captive audience and it's gross. I love Jim, feel his pain from the story, but still, this is insane and rude especially while they're mic'ed. In the end, you are screaming at the wrong person and you probably didn't even yell that loud when you wanted to, so quit your bs and maybe smoke more weed than you do.
Love his honesty about weed having suffered the exact sad moment with cannabis and still to this day but yeh just cool to hear some one else talk about the sad loss of weed not being like it use to be RESPECT THE BUD as taught in Jamaica 🛒👍🇬🇧❤️😎👌
Always loved Jim. He seems like that kickass coworker that makes a place better just because he works there, and then you get really sad when he leaves.
I love Jim Breuer. I once wanted to order a DVD from the US with his stand-up, but because of shipping costs was unavailable due to the fact that I live in the Netherlands. He sent me the DVD for free with a personal note. Thanks again Jim.

@@mightythor444 makes more sense than will Ferrell. Will is a huge guy that you would never yell threats at. Chris? Small guy, very yellable.
I feel the same way, He must be a tyrant and he used the old 'divide and conquer' method to further his career. SNL has been a joke for the last 30 years or so and not a good joke either.
"I may have been the last guy to threaten violence...." I fucking love Jim Breuer
I used to love SNL, but haven’t watched it in years.
I never had any idea that writers had so much pull there. Jim is hilarious, went see him perform locally a few years back. Was a great show!
Yeah, I was under the impression the cast wrote most of their own skits and made up their characters as well. That the writers were there to tidy up the loose ends, right?
Same here
So much respect for Jim...Calls it like it is, will always have "real people" around him as long as he keeps using his own mind...He a luckier person maybe than he realizes...🙏
Would love to read a Jim Breuer "tell all" book about SNL. No holds barred.
He’d be on a hit list. 😆
read Jay Mohrs book. He had the same experience at SNL...very toxic enviornment
He could make $100 million in book sales if he did this!!!
*Breuer
I'd like to see a stand-up special where he does impressions
Ive always liked Breuer he seems like a genuine guy......i feel like when he tells a story hes telling it how it happened, instead of telling it in a way to make himself look better.
He's a genuine dude
Pizza guy story on O&A is so gooooood
His Knapp sack Lars story is hilarious
Him taking care of his dad/family story...
Exactly.
Just listening to how they treated him was very well said . I have been treated like I didn't matter while ppl were getting credit for my work. It's an insult to know what they're doing, yet they try to hide it or act like you're crazy. They will rip you up and make you out to be crazy, like they've done so many times before.
Jim is an awesome great guy,and one of the most talented and funny,down to earth guys in the business!!!
Moral of the story: Always keep your ideas to yourself.. never leave them unattended or in the open.. People steal.
Dead on. In any form of entertainment.
Pen, and a large memo book in your pocket. And cover those security cams
Play dumb so they laugh at you. Ignore them. Then show your talent when it matters. That freaks them out.
@@brucegirdlestone8516 that's the dumbest advice I've ever heard.
If you keep your ideas to yourself, how would you ever do anything in entertainment? This is a dumb comment. Yeah people try to steal but how could you ever make a movie or a show without telling other people your ideas so they can all make it like any complex production does. You must be like 14 and naive or something because keeping your ideas to yourself will give you literally nothing in life lol.
I have never seen Breuer yell or be anywhere close to mad. This man has a beast inside him and no one knows it
Angry Breur was excitingly terrifying.
I see that too
As bill burr would say. Dude that guys a psycho you can see it bubbling under his skin 🤣
i find comments like these hilarious considering i’m rlly close with his one daughter lmaooo
Then you should see his stuffed crust Pizza Hut commercial
always thought he was ok, but HUGE fan now! has the balls to speak honestly in this day & age. hope more & more celebrities see that there’s a huge market for
real comedy & patriotic normal entertainment !
You mean anti vax comedy lol
@@bobbyhulll8737 He was right the first time. Also, the Vax is poison.
I used to smoke weed like it was going out of fashion but stopped abruptly as it wasn't enjoyable anymore but after six months I came out of the weed-bubble and I now think more coherently and positively.
yea? i want to stop
SNL sounds like a super toxic work environment.
Your videos are awesome.
SNL fucking SUCKS...and now I hate it even more
Sounds like every office, ever.
To me, it goes back to Tina Fey pushed up the ladder while an NBC big shot bullied Norm out of SNL over OJ Simpson jokes. It's always been political on SNL. Chevy Chase admitted they were all liberals using the show politically, actually trying to affect real-world outcomes in US elections. He mocked the nonsense obsession they had in destroying Sarah Palin, where the motives were obvious. These aren't nice people. This is also New York, so the scummy elitism is off the scale.
Howdy Brad! 👋
I never thought about what the work culture at SNL would be like, but the moment he explained it, it made perfect sense.
Okay yeah and your point?
@@corbydinzen5356 The point being, that after years of hearing their absurd statements in award shows, their disdain for many average people in the US, and hatred for anyone that disagrees with them politically.... the fact that they are terrible coworkers "made perfect sense".
It doesn't sound like liberals are happy people. I can't imagine working with 40 of them
@@williamgolden839 liberals are constantly miserable people
Also, they have about a 10% hit rate on actually being funny. And I mean since the VERY beginning. These days it is more like 1% are funny. Compare that to something like Key & Peele. Consistently funny, rare misses.
I only watched SNL in the beginning so i do not know the newer cast members.. The name Jim Breuer is familiar but now I'll know his face. Love he thinks for himself!
His alcohol skit with the cartoon is one of the best in comedy!
It's sad how few people are guided by a moral compass
That's a pretty bold statement for having no fucking facts to back it up
@@corbydinzen5356 it’s called observation.
@@corbydinzen5356 take a chill pill, Susan.
@@corbydinzen5356 I agree. It doesn’t dawn on people that someone’s moral compass could differ from theirs.
Nice guys finish last…it didn’t become a cliché because it’s not true.
Eddie Murphy about being a cast member: "I hated that fucking show."
Yea. But Eddie wasn’t there when Lorne was.
@Jroc Jonestown Thx for shedding light on it. It sounded like he was imitating Spade, glad I read your comment before he imitated him lol.
@Jroc Jonestown wasn't he kicked out?
Everyone that saw coming to America 2. “I hated that fucking show.”
@@Jamaicafunk What? Didn’t Lorne create the show?
omg, I love Jim, man, and I've been watching the guy for quite some time and he's so chill and to bring this dude on the brink of violence is something...
What a great moment I got to watch happen on here in ur conversation of the truth!
Jim is so underrated.
Jim isn't underrated. Everyone loves him.
And whatever he starts saying is so under finished
I love Breuer as do most people. He's really not overreated. He's just a funny dude that does a handful of amazing impressions.
I agree he should have been a bigger star, I guess this is why he never got a movie, he didn’t play ball.
He’s not underrated with those who know his talent. Only with those who don’t
Breuer just cemented his place in JRE history with that outburst. SHWEET
At around 7:50
You should watch his opinion on the way our nanny state handled the ‘Rona outbreak
I was on a different Tab looking up how much time is left on Joe's spotify deal and my Speaker went nuts with Jim screaming that shit. I love you Jim but FFS bring it down a notch Jim.
Joe barely reacted lol just another day in the office
JRE Toons worthy
That rant is scary good!…….I mean, he switched on a dime, to that moment of anger……..he transported to 1998 !……. It shows his passion….his heart……his honesty……..his incredible acting chops…..but it wasn’t acting…..he went to that emotion better then a Brando or Bale…..🫡🎩
I love Jim he’s got some of the best stand up I’ve ever seen.
Cast member= Chris Kattan. Head writer= Adam McKay
Definitely McKay - and the Pacino reference is to Kattan. The drunk character reference is probably to Will Ferrell.
@@archerizeit7444 what about drunk uncle? Or was that much later?
Bingo!!!
Lorne comes from the top like joe said
@@bigtip8371 Bobby Monihan's Drunk Uncle didn't appear until 2011, long after McKay, Ferrell and co. were gone.
I love that Rogan is amused by outbursts. Doesn't flinch. Doesn't change his body language. Just sits and grins. :D
Well what do you want him to do, stop the guy and tell him to calm down? He let's his guests express themselves how they want to and he reacts as respectful as he can. But who the fuck am I? Lol
Ummmm
Weed, much?
@@tylermassage6220 yes, very much.
@@RouxRouxRingo That, and he probably figures an audience hearing a celebrity emotionally going off about toxic behind the scenes stuff on a TV show a lot of us grew up watching, makes for good radio. Why get in the way of that?
@@sainters7 exactly, thanks for adding that. Your input was appreciated. I'm loving the conversations I've been having through RUclips comments lately. One great thing this pandemic has done for me!
what a great way to put that. "You didn't get bitter but you understood bitterness was an option"
WELLL, that went from 0 to 100 quick 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Had the pleasure seeing Jim live a few years back. Dude did a skit about bringing his family on an African safari and he was doing all the animal noises and how freaked out they were. Shit had my and my wife dying.
Not sure if you meant to reply to me, lol
I actually went to Dan Gables wresting camp when I was 10. Him, Tom, and Terry Brands were awesome coaches. Not only did it make me a better wrestler it gave me good fundamentals and a lot of discipline that I still use in every aspect of my life. Really cool to see him on Joe’s podcast.
Get in free with a can of Pepsi right? Or something like that
Amused by animal noises? You have the bar set stunningly low for your sense of humor. Shake yourself...
Ok, chuck.
Jim Breuer is the best story teller, true comedian. He told this story a while back and said Chris Kattan would steal his sketches
Also the "Head Writer" that stuck his head in and told him he was already writing his sketch was Adam Mckay.
Awesome guest. Will watch whole thing on Spotify 👍🏴
every time i see jim lately i just love him more and more... as for going off of the skit stealers. DUUUUUDE. mad respect. thats exactly how id roll
One of my favorite things about Joe is that he’s a good friend to his friends. He had so much respect for Phil and he makes sure to keep his memory alive with his audience. A true friend.
Yeah, he was very supportive of Brian Callen and Cris d'Elia
I shed a little tear every time he brings up Phil...
@@norm-fy5mo Chris idk but the kid will always be his brother. Is it just me or are these new attempts by Chris trying to make a comeback a little weird?
@@dudepool7530 can you imagine the monster he and Patrice would be on the podcast
@@norm-fy5mo I can respect sticking up for your friends, but sticking up for d'Elia, yikes.
I got a borderline panic attack listening to Jim. I know what it’s like to be in a toxic workplace. It’s agitating just listening to and knowing that feeling.
Same here, I'm with you. Best to learn from those experiences, move forward.
That sucks. Is that usually with work thats competitive?
I'm scared of having a job like that because I'm so sensitive lmao I would probably cry everyday. I've always just kept to myself, been cordial but thats it and it seems to work against me if I want to "climb the ladder"
What a way to fuck with a easy going funny person. No wonder why he has to quit smoking pot.
In 2011 I picked up some part time hours on nights and weekends at one of those pop up Halloween stores and Jim came in with his daughter and was super friendly and respectful of people talking to him and asking him questions! Really down to earth human being! He’s too nice for hollyweird!
Joe’s interview with Jim is one of my absolute favourites! He’s totally switched on! A good man❤❤❤
No wonder SNL has gone downhill, a toxic work environment will do that
I'm sure it's always been like that. You're in a business with tons of individuals who have giant egos, then there's favoritism and kissing ass. I had to deal with the same shit in college when I majored in art, it was garbage. Most businesses environments are the same, especially when it comes to creative decisions and projects.
it 100% has always been that way
I kind of think today's backstage isn't nearly as competitive with the greatest comedians in the world striving for their material as it used to be....
@@aus-li and that's why media hate youtubers and social media creators, and try to show them that the next step over social media is Hollywood or Mainstream media, at the end all is BS.
*TDS*
the angrier jim gets the more he blends in with the background
Why is this not top comment?
Fantastic
It’s funny because it’s true!
😂
Haaaa! Right!
I needed to hear this for my own toxic work situation.
Thank you. I needed that.
My daily three notifications letting me know that Joe Rogan is still alive.
Just get Spotify
@@dwarfindle1461 just get him back on RUclips
You also keep getting the daily notifications that Spotify has deemed old episodes now acceptable to watch again? Are there any seriously die hard fans who have put in the effort to see if anything has been edited out of these "new" episodes?
Because POS UFC fans spam that he's dead in every single live chat
@@DylRobs366 or understand that he signed a deal and get over it and watch it on spotify
The thief he’s referring to is Chris Kattan, Jim had already told the story years ago on Stern and named him on that occasion
Makes sense. Norm hated that guy too
Chris kataan isn't funny
The head writer was Adam Mckay. He's said in interviews that Breuer hates him.
sounded like him the impersonation dam i really liked Corky Romano
And who went on to have the better career? It's like comparing "Half Baked" to "Night at the Roxbury."
7:53 How dads act when you can't hold the flashlight straight
Love this guy, genuine yuman being from the old school.
"If any job, no matter how much it paid, makes you a miserable human being, and changes the person you are, you aren't gonna work there."
FANTASTIC quote, and something everyone should take to heart. I have left horrible jobs in my career and never realized how miserable I was until I moved on.
But if it pays well, I'll work there.
I'm on the fence at my job right now. The past few months have been job searching and preparing to quit. 30 person company down to 7.....
@ruclips.net/video/ZUW-OGUeXFU/видео.html
@@rossc7006 you're making the right move
Nuff said. Thanks for sharing this.
I like how Jim gave us the real stories behind the scenes at SNL. I always wondered why some really good sketch artists always seemed to leave at some point from the show. Sounds like it ruins a persons love fir the craft.
It seems nowadays only the bad ones have stayed.
Yet...you only hear the complaints from former SNL stars that can't find a job or write themselves work.
I imagine it's great for improv folks and absolute hell for comics
other notables that had a short stint at SNL: Damon Wayans and Ben Stiller
@@cscotet4202 who
Jim is one of the few people I've watched who can make me smile the entire time, regardless of what he's talking about
I'm late to the party, but that was just brilliant stuff. Kudos to both Joe and Jim.
He has always come across as such a down to earth guy. He’s likely pushed to an unreal stress level - heard him say on his podcast his beloved wife is battling some scary health issues. love him so much as a comedian and who he seems to be as a person.
I’m sorry to hear that about his wife. He seems devoted to her; she sounds like a good egg.
Shes the "Good" Christian; apparently, Jim tries
Listen to any of his stories on his family and father on O&A, Breuer is probably THE best storyteller on that show, if not, one of the best, and doesn't shy away from most things either, tells it pretty much like it is, he's a very good dude.👍
@@telometoduro4029 yea my dad has been good friends with him for a while ive met him before hes very down to earth
@@johnabillz4457 that's cool, your dad's a lucky guy 😁I'm going to one of Breuer's show this year hopefully,if I can find time, been watching him since his SNL days, very funny then and very funny now, one of the very few celebrities I look up to 👍
He refused to detach himself from being a loving human being. That's what it takes to make it in the fame game. The higher up, the more miserable they become.
Much love and respect to Jim! I just watched his other JR appearances and yeah, he's just a good human being with a good logical head on his shoulders.
Naw higher up you're simply psychopathic so you feel nada
If you're ever driving or just have some time to yourself, you can the absolute best Breuer stories are of him on Opie and Anthony, ones called Pizza Man (about his mafioso neighbor) the and his crazy elderly mother secretly abusing his father who had dementia, whom had to move into Jim's house whilst his mom lived alone but had like day nurses /maids over. Sounds dark but Jim's so funny and has a heart of gold.
Hes a terrible uneducated person
Love Jim Breuer! Quality guy. Fantastic comedian.
Jim is still incredibly funny, while many of those other former SNL people seem to have lost it. He survived SNL.
Jim is an angry nut job and has definitely lost "it".
I really miss Phil Hartman. and Jim's stand-up is GENIUS.
He's got like 3 decent jokes
his stand up is fucking horrible
@@whollypotatoes which is 3 more then you have, but your nobody so no one cares.
@@dolemitefuthamucka you probably think Steven Colbert is funny so your opinion is moot.
why be so fucking harsh? Is this really worth arguing over? People can like different things.
That’s not drug face, that’s Jack Nicholson fused with Matthew Perry
Dude... imagine those three in a movie where they're all related? 🤯
So true
Dude Jack did more drugs then every fucking human combined that’s how he got that face & dem eye brows
Like that one film about a fly......The Fly!
Holly shit
I loved Jim for a long time.......then he went nuts. I realized he is just one of the few crazies in every town but he became successful.
I just started listening to you. I miss Phil Hartman. JDepp was friggin lucky to come out alive.
Joe’s expression when Jim flips the script is pure gold. 😂
Jim does joe pessi in this story

I thought joe was gonna put him in a rear naked chicken hold.
Chicken hold ?👀😂😂😂
@@musashimiyamoto8998
It's called the Turduckin now.
I agree. I personally can't stand it when people do this ish in front of me. Joe held it together well considering the confined space, volume, and his own hot head. It's transparent tough-guy bravado with a captive audience and it's gross. I love Jim, feel his pain from the story, but still, this is insane and rude especially while they're mic'ed. In the end, you are screaming at the wrong person and you probably didn't even yell that loud when you wanted to, so quit your bs and maybe smoke more weed than you do.
I met Jim Breuer about 10ish years ago. Super chill dude, down to earth, just a really nice genuine dude.
@@trembling3674 haha!! Yes he was!! What a sweet old man he was too !!
Love his honesty about weed having suffered the exact sad moment with cannabis and still to this day but yeh just cool to hear some one else talk about the sad loss of weed not being like it use to be RESPECT THE BUD as taught in Jamaica 🛒👍🇬🇧❤️😎👌
This sounds eerily similar to my experience working as an advertising creative in the 2010's
Lorne saying the Bruer you are too nice for this business is also him saying I on the other hand am just the perfect scumbag for this business.
I had that same thought lol...Dr Evil
That anger isn’t something you let go of. He just dorms it and only shows it when necessary.
That was an Oscar worthy performance of engagement.
That was the most New York Mothafucka I’ve ever heard😂
says who
What a fucking legend. Breuer's so naturally hilarious without even trying.
I had no idea SNL was that way to it's people. I love all of the things I've seen Jim do. I wish em all well.
Always loved Jim. He seems like that kickass coworker that makes a place better just because he works there, and then you get really sad when he leaves.
Goals in Life
RIP Phil Hartman
he didn't put that cookie down
If you put together a montage of JRE greatest hits for the flashback episode, this would be on it. Truth bomb.
I sincerely enjoyed this one!
