Honestly some of the freshest stand up I've seen. Joe Pera is an amazing comedian, he makes you laugh but it can also be genuinely heartwarming stuff, a sort of positivity I've never seen before in comedy
God this still kills me all these years later. "And that's what receiver Stevie Johnson is thinking about... when he drops the ball in the end zone." Dead.
Ironically, this is what a life is like for a Raiders fan. So relatable. I just need to find that restaurant that has 2 entrees and a bottle if wine for $3.
Excellent comic timing. This sort of act takes a lot of practice. Each word is almost sung. It must take a lot of concentration. Most standup is about letting go and going wild, but this type of standup is an actor playing a role, reliving a care script, but making it look effortless. Very impressive.
Nice. Also, I HAD to like your comment because the number was 666. I'm not superstitious or anything, but many people are and I wanted to be a martyr by changing that number.
Why are some Bills fans taking offense to this? Or saying things like "I'm a Bills fan and still find this funny"? This guy is from Buffalo. That's part of the joke. He knows what it's like.
His stories and voice are the personification of the feeling of walking out of a snow storm into a warm home, removing your cold, wet outer wear, petting a golden retriever, and walking into the loving embrace of your soul mate.
What I love bout Joe Pera is he never takes mean shots at people. His comedy is good, clean and wholesome. Something we could use more of these days. That being said, I still love some raunchy comedy, I love George Carlin but I also love Joe Pera.
I went to college with Joe and this comment is so accurate. He's truly a method actor. He became the character and is always thinking 20 steps ahead about how to maintain and improve the character. It's been amazing to watch how his career has rightfully blossomed. This bit is still the one I constantly come back to though, it's brilliant.
Joe Pera is my Spirit Animal. I know that's cliche, but the dude has an amazing amount of charisma and dry humor that accentuate the sweetheart persona that he exudes.
I think this is my favorite Joe Pera "joke". As shown in this clip, Joe Pera's jokes are often full stories that take time to develop. The subtleties and meticulous, thorough set up of the story is amazing, and it fully flushes out in the end. I think it's also a perfect of how Pera can look at things differently and appreciate the smaller, less obvious things in life. I hope he comes to a town near me soon!
When I watched my first bills playoff loss with my grandpa, he said to me "son, now you can call yourself a Bills fan, because you know the disappointment" that being said. Bills Mafia let's go!!!
I like his sweater. I was a husky kid in grade school and mom got my sweaters in the husky section at Woolworths on 3rd Ave. The last time I was on a stage it was in my 3rd grade Christmas play. I was chosen by our teacher Mrs. Foster to be the only Santa’s reindeer because there weren’t enough kids to play all the parts. My mom made me a pair of antlers that I wore on top of my head made out of wire coat hangers covered with brown felt. When the record player played “Up On The Rooftop Click Click Click” that was my cue to come out pulling Santa’s sleigh. When I did some guy in the audience yelled “I don’t remember a moose in this story.” That made me kind of sad but mom told me that a moose was a majestic animal and could probably win in a fight with a reindeer. I guess I didn’t look too much like a reindeer at that but it was hot in there.
The way he was "talking" the entire 2 minutes the sh-t noise was going on is hilarious. People, do you realize how funny you have to be to get a crowd worked up to where they literally sit there and laugh at a 2 minute fart track without getting annoyed or quiet after the 1st 30 or so seconds? 😂😂😂 extremely talented comedian
I feel bad in a way that I'm only just discovering you a few weeks ago (from a 2 year old Townsends clip) .. but I guess it's better late than never because I've had the luxury to binge a ton of your work .. and it's been really truly joyful Joe. Thank you so much for the positivity! ☮
The ending to this is one of the cleverest I've seen in stand-up comedy. He maintains the persona so well, Stewart Lee levels of commitment to a bit. But then for the final minute, cracks appear in the mask just long enough to see an actor desperately trying to maintain composure, all to the sound of audience hysteria and looped farting. It's a work of art.
I’m from northern Minnesota originally, and it’s uncanny how many people Joe reminds me of. I mean that in a good way, but it’s almost disorientating. Great stuff 👍
Joe, the only man who holds a candle to your gentle voice is Tom Bodet saying, “We’ll leave the light on for ya”. You’re as lovely as a comedian, public speaker, human being can be. Thank you for talking with us. Yesterday was challenging for me, and included hours of new phone connection frustrations finally resolved by two smart and very nice AT&T human beings sitting with me. It felt good, after dropping my phone in a creek, losing all it held, including phone numbers and photos if friends in France and Montana. Then I heard an old friend and neighbor died in New York last week, along with many others. Then i found out a beautiful family in Russia who adopted a circus cheetah, and tended her with great love fir 3 1/2 months, lost her to metastacized cancer. All i could do was to go to mcdonalds and get two double cheeseburgers, sit in the parking lot and let it all just be. The taste and smell and paper wrapper reminds me of being a small hungry child in the mid-1960’s, on a dark, rainy evening, pulling up to the Eat ‘n Park with the huge, neon-outlined Big Boy, and being handed a warm, fragrant cheeseburger, along with three siblings. Pickles were passed from those who didn’t like them to those who did. Some always fell, and were smashed into the carpet by small feet in keds sneakers. My mouth still waters when i recall one of the few feelings of comfort and reassurance i ever had while growing up, fleeting, but it has stayed with me all these years, and probably will all my life. Little things can mean a lot. Unfortunately, when i feel especially vulnerable, a healthy version of this burger does not reach and reassure that child feeling of needing to receive what somehow makes a difference. I bless you, sir, for not getting too far away frim how living beings actually experience and feel. You are good for us. Please see the RUclips channel I Am Puma. Sasha and Masha adopted a young puma with many health issues. Messi is four years old, and their story is chronicled in many videos that now have translations at the top of the comments section. Well worth seeing. It inspires and touches many hearts around the world. My very best to you. Im so glad I discovered you last evening. It was a blessing to see your talking us to sleep video. Just clicked on it and loved it. By the way, ive lived in central Pennsylvania , what you call the snack belt while talking us to sleep, for the past 45 years. Please pardon any small spelling errors, as I’ve discovered i can turn off autocorrect on my phone, and I’d rather hit a few wrong letters than have an algorithm replace good words or my own created words with something else, often quite bizarre and inappropriate, even unpleasant.
This is some of the most intelligent stand-up ever created. The depth and breadth of material is so pointed and Joe Pera's delivery is some of the most focused I've ever seen.
Everything, including the Kostas on Hertel Ave (not Road) comment, was 100% spot on #goBills #Ivehadseasonticketssince2000 #stillneverseenaplayoffgameinmylife
I get the formula. Cozy family story, huge societal or cosmic frameworks elsewhere, a commonplace but tragic loss occurs within the human/family plane - ... how do they tie this to the huge framework? beautiful
Watched old footage with Joe pera on adult swim just now, was moved so much I looked you up on RUclips and found this. Did not disappoint!!!😂😂😂👍👍👍 BTW- I'm from North Collins NY
While watching the video, I was scrolling through my recommended videos and the moment that he says "Father and son by Kat Stevens" that was what I was looking at. Wild.
So Im watching this in 2023 and the Bills are a great team and perennial contender. I saw this was from 9 years ago...when they were not good and yeah that was the gag but...Joe Pera's wholesome and kind demeanor clearly willed them to greatness.
Honestly some of the freshest stand up I've seen. Joe Pera is an amazing comedian, he makes you laugh but it can also be genuinely heartwarming stuff, a sort of positivity I've never seen before in comedy

I agree 100%, Romantis. He has the audience completely under his command.
Well said
@Ultra McKay He's literally done exactly that. It's on RUclips.
John Smith obviously he was being sarcastic
Ive scoured the web for any sign this is an actand there appears to be none. Even accounts from thise who work with him say this is who he is.
the only man i’ve seen get more anxious when a joke lands
He's just an old man in a young body
A real Benjamin Button

If you are from Buffalo like me, this video is a masterpiece.
This dude goes through the 5 stages of grief without raising his voice above a mumble
Go Bills! Keeping families together since 1960.
I've never heard commentary capture the feeling of being a Bills fan more accurately than this.
This is the very first comedian I have ever seen END HIS SET with a FULL MINUTE-LONG FART.
People underestimate the genius that you can achieve through a well timed and placed fart joke.
BRAAP. Deal with it.
NESherv Did I just watch a grown man take a long, loud, wet shit on live television?
...with just about anyone else...it would be a total hack move...but it's a killer closer following that long news from lake wobegon style joke...
Plus he was in Boston. That shit kills.
His stories and voice are the personification of the feeling of walking out of a snow storm into a warm home, removing your cold, wet outer wear, petting a golden retriever, and walking into the loving embrace of your soul mate.

It's been amazing to watch how his career has rightfully blossomed. This bit is still the one I constantly come back to though, it's brilliant.
From the sound of his voice, I thought that this guy would be 80 years old.
Asmr prairie home companion Mitch Hedberg
There's also a lot of Bob Newhart in his act.
konami1979 APHEX TWIN
He is not at all like Mitch Hedburg lol. Aside from leaning towards a 'calmer' demeanor, they really have no comparisons
Underrated comment!
Holy shit that's spot on
This is the one and only time you ever get me with a fart joke
Sorry for your loss 🙏
This is not the one and only time I will ever be gotten with a fart joke
Joe Pera is my Spirit Animal. I know that's cliche, but the dude has an amazing amount of charisma and dry humor that accentuate the sweetheart persona that he exudes.
His smile while the farts are going. He's so damn proud of himself it's beautiful.
Joe: says something wholesome that makes me so happy I cry
The audience: HAaahahAHHHH
He kept the audience in stitches for almost 2 minutes straight with just pure fart noises....
ABSOLUTE GENIUS!!!!

@AustinMcConnell I love running into you randomly.
I don’t understand the first thing about football. This is insanely hilariously.
I never heard of Joe Pera until I saw him on Adult Swim. This guy is hilarious. I love his act.
I discovered him this week! He's so refreshing in these anxious times. My Christmas present!
🎄❤🎄
Masterful. I don't think people realize how dope this dude is. A real delight
still super accurate... love ya Joe.
just so happened to come back to this video on the 7th week of the NFL season, just like he said . its magic
And it is when it is all going to collapse
His standup is just as wholesome and awesome as his show. I love this dude so much.
November 2023….still timeless 😂
Joe delivers this in his usual low-key style. But I'm almost positive it started out as a full throated rant screamed at a television screen.
Seriously the most gentle person I've ever seen. It's insane
As a person from Buffalo I completely agree
I'm freaking out, nothing makes sense and am on the verge of serious existential crisis....and this calmed me down. Thank you.
This entire autumnally-themed bit is exactly what I think every great Thanksgiving joke should be: a warm and wholesome roast.
As a Dolphins fan, I can say this is some great AFC East comedy.
My favorite type
This is without a doubt the best piece of sports comedy I have ever come by
Joe Pera makes the shit world seem nearly as good as it seemed to me as a child growing up in the 90's. He is imo an American treasure.
He's like garrison keeler but younger.
I love the laughter you hear now and then that's almost a cough, almost a plea, "please, stop, if you keep going I'm going to die."
There are a lot of great comedians out there today, but this is art.
As a former Buffalo resident and lifelong masochistic Bills fan I fully support this message
Joe Pera is a national treasure
This is some of the most intelligent stand-up ever created. The depth and breadth of material is so pointed and Joe Pera's delivery is some of the most focused I've ever seen.
One of the best bits in standup history. Of all time. Of anyone.
I seriously don’t think that’s an exaggeration
Joe is a recent discovery of mine, and I realise my life until now has been incomplete! Love this guy.
The way he talks and the sound of his voice does not match what he looks like at all haha
It will as he gets older. Like Mike Stoklasa.
I think it may be a fake voice he's using. if not then damn he's got a northern accent lol

He's not known as stinky pinky Bob for nothing

@Aidan S 2009 was the year bec they signed Terrell Owens
No wait.....this is the year. Circle the wagons!!
This is legitimately the year. You guys look great.
My favorite part is Pera struggling not to smile during the fart bit.
this man sounded like this when he was 7 years old. Just picture that for a minute.
Michael Corley reminds me of that kid who said “its fried chicken. i like fried chicken”
I like how he struggles to keep a straight face while doing this bit lmao
Arguably the funniest thing about this is Joe Pera trying to keep a straight face through that fart.
