To those who enjoy my weirdness, thank you! I really enjoyed doing this set and hope it offers a small glimpse into my brain.
Dude you have no idea how much I needed/loved this
We love your weirdness ❤
I'm a white guy with natural coloured hair and autism.
You might want to reconsider your sympathies for the Nazi doctor who's name was leant to mean functional enough to be worked rather than exterminated.
I get that it's just a joke, I just think it's fucked up that you want to make a joke at the behest of people trying to remember the Holocaust rather than the ones behind it.
@@NatalieCuomo get a room ;) - best wishes for the wedding!
You’re great, you just gotta work on your delivery. Often you speak too fast so the joke doesn’t sink in cos you move on to the next one.
As an inordinately late diagnosed autistic person, I seriously applaud this guy. He is on the nose with "You don't look autistic." If enough people saw this, it might actually cause positive change.
My cousin is non verbal autistic, a "poster child" even. I am flying under the radar. I was diagnosed at 26 and nobody seems to notice. It's a very large spectrum as we know. I haven't ever told anyone in my family because I already know they'd just expect me to know why I'm not like my cousin, or he is not like me.
I been told by someone who worked as a special needs teacher I'm not autistic well we were in grippy soak jail together
@@TrustMelDontCare IKR? And I wish you all the support possible. I feel your pain.
My sister doesn't even believe me, even though I carry a copy* of the diagnosis from the doctor. She prefers to think that I meant to hurt her feelings all along. (I was 58 when diagnosed, 62 now) She had carried a grudge for over 40yrs. I had NO idea that she was angry. I could tell something was amiss, just no idea as to what.
*It's a bit of a long story, but I carry a laminated copy. lol
"Just kidding, I bagged a normie," 😂
how is that remotely funny?
@@TommyLikeTom ratio
@@TommyLikeTomright?
@@TommyLikeTom Well some people people laugh at Rosanne Barr's comedy...Hell some others love Adam Sandler.
IMO he's joking about his disability when he says "I bagged a normie". There's a perception that disabled people would only date other disabled people. In a sense this is self deprecation which is a recognised form of humour, in fact if you're trying to win someone over it's a very reliable tactic.
@@garybrocklehurst6784great comment. Humor is subjective… I like watching comedians occasionally, but mostly like stupid gag humor or esoteric memes. not everyone finds what I find funny funny, and that’s okay! I think as long as it’s not actively hateful comedy it’s cool to like what you like. I also sometimes like comedy that some might find objectionable, but I only enjoy it if I know at its core the person making it is doing a character and isn’t actually being harmful. It can be a hard line and we are always free to argue about when something may go to far or be in bad taste, etc.
but, anyway, longwinded way to say that as long as it isn’t hurting anyone (and those types of comedy really tend to only be funny to people caught up in hateful mindsets and therefore rightfully unfunny to most), like what you like- and also realize that comedy is subjective and it’s okay that you or I or someone else doesn’t find a comedian or joke funny. Peace ✌️
I’m a fellow autistic and can confirm that I love ‘surprise life puzzles’ 😂 I will have a blast de-tangling your headphones and putting together your IKEA furniture. Great set!
Headphone cables detangling recreation.❤
Thank you for confirming my suspicions 😂😂😂
Anything needing assembly.. that's been my family 'job' since I was like 6. haha the best
I enjoy saving Carlos but tangled wires fill me with rage.
I have always been confused why some people have such a hard time with flat-pack stuff. You lay out all the pieces, follow the instructions and BAM you have a new bookcase!
Autism wasn't much of a known word in the 80s. The words that described kids like me were usually not very flattering. However, they just didn't have a word, good or bad, for my organizing my cousins' CD collection in alphabetical order. They didn't have a word for my having a messy room but having thousands of pennies perfectly organized by their date. They didn't have a word for my being mostly nonverbal but writing full stories with chapters in elementary. They didn't have a word for me happily killing time with untangling something. The headphones thing... I get it!
I definitely was the kid who could write a chapter story at nine years old, but I did speak (sometimes). It wasn't that I couldn't, it's just that I didn't relate to everyone else's inane conversations. Plus, I read dictionaries, atlases, and thesauruses alongside the usual stuff kids read (since it was the 1990s, Goosebumps and anything by R.L. Stine was popular, as well as The Babysitters' Club and Sweet Valley High. I didn't grow up when stuff like Harry Potter, Twilight, or The Hunger Games were popular). To this day, I don't know if it's possible undiagnosed autism or if I was just trying to reverse the toxic effects of the American public school system (or showing that the system works, despite its flaws).
Public speaking with any degree of ASD is courageous, props to Dan. Loved your little ticks & good material! Inspiring for our people
I've been saying knots are just free puzzles! He's one of us.
It's funny how society put in my head over and over again that they are not funny and I have to pretend to not enjoy these little things so much while I'm doing them to not be that much weird. How tf ASD people get free of their masks? I feel like I'm working my whole life on this persona that is weird fun and quirky and it feels so fake cuz I'm so much more weird than that and people will judge my details so much more if I don't hide them. The say is "don't care about what people think" and I went "be normal enough so what people think does not bother you too much"
@@Jorge.ALXNDR Everyone wears masks, it's not that deep. Just do you and stay away from toxic people that refuse to understand
I 1000% vibe with the, "my thing is hating change, and you're changing my diagnosis name on me?" bit XD Literally something I have said to my partner. This was excellent, very relateable :D
As a level 1 autistic person I couldn't relate I someone more than dan. Thank you don't tell comedy for always showing me new and actually funny comedians
😮!8.!
Same
Same
I laughed at the tangled headphones part, my family would give me cables, necklaces and things to sort and organize when I was a kid... Needless to say: I'm autistic.
same lol. detangling fairy lights come Christmas is a great time haha
I lost it at the dinosaur flag … mainly because I was worried that there would be too much disagreement over feathers versus no feathers and then realized that my own diagnosis was showing. :)
As someone who was just diagnosed with a touch of the 'Tism, the laughter from this brought me pure joy. 😂
You like counting? Count me as someone who really enjoyed your set. Got +1 fan.
Fantastic set dude
“The Abyss” is what we call the place beside your car seat where your phone goes 8:56
You mean : the Mouth of Madness ?
I call it the Black Hole, lol
as an autistic person, this was beyond amazing
3:26 " officer, my ID is extinct" GEEZ WILLIKERS That's funny
"Looks extinct" woulda been funnier..lol
As a high-function autist, I found this quite relatable; I’ve had moments like the lighthouse story mentioned but with cars, myself; I just so happened to memorise the details of my own and many other vehicles, and have had moments at car meets where I knew as much about a person’s car as they did, which, at a car meet, is quite a lot, and often casually know more about non-gearhead’s cars than they do, because for some reason they don’t bother to know anything about their own vehicle.
I even read cover-to-cover the owner’s manual for my car, and every area of text in it, including the warnings in the engine bay, in German, Japanese, and English, and know everything from the chassis type to the engine block material, dampers, what fuel is best to run it on, etc. (space frame, compacted graphite iron, electronic adjust variable rate dampers with a double wishbone type multi-link F/R, and high cetane renewable diesel.)
Suffice, the ‘tism is strong with me.
As a mom of an autistic son from Jersey, I absolutely love this stand up❤
YESS!!! Such a fantastic set in every way!! Dan is one of the funniest comics working today!!
Totally organic comment, definitely not his fiancée 😆
This was great! “My id is extinct” was gold.
So fast & clever.
Each joke is jammed pack with laughs.
Brilliant
Dude was absolutely hilarious
We need more MANGO HABANERO DAN 🤣
i know this dude has been telling some of these autism jokes for a while now. people just say dumb things straight to you like its a new observation. i remember when folks who didn't know i was autistic would say to me that vaccines cause autism and id go "oh so i get to have the upgrade and yall are stuck at level 1?"
Except this is all bullshit, and Dan isn't actually autistic. His whole act and persona was different before the pandemic, but he realized that this self-diagnosis shit was getting popular, and DSMTok was getting big. He's a complete fraud who HASN'T been telling these jokes for even a quarter of his career.
Apparently rfk believes this, even though it's been debunked for a long time and in 10000000 different ways
Something strange to me is that people are confused by this. I am so used to not fitting in by now and to people not having a clue about the stuff I know, I don't expect intelligence anywhere. Thus I am pleasantly surprised when I encounter it. Stop expecting the world to cater to your needs and you will be better off. People are dumb. Accept it. Move on.
"white women with purple hair will call me names for saying it" had me rollin 🤣🤣 great set Dan!
Had me rolling my eyes.
@@TheArcaneMastercan I assume your hair is painted a shade of amethyst?
@@AntoineBandele you can assume whatever dumb shit you want. My profile pic is right there, not that anyone's hair color is relevant to anything...
Bro why you so aggro, chill homie@@TheArcaneMaster
I'm autistical and i approve of this video
Carlos!!! Verde!!! 😂
He is absolutely f-ing hilarious!
This is a great set - timing, delivery, structure of the jokes. Totally dry comment here, but this has to be written. Well done!
I was glad for the change, aside from the Nazi stuff it was a terrible idea to take children who are already getting bullied for being strange and give them a diagnosis that sounds like "ass burgers"
It’s the Chilean miners for me 🤣🤣 go dan go!
5:12 I thought for sure he'd spent the next 5 min. talking about Fresnel lenses.
What a brilliant set!
Great set Dan, I am also autistic and love comedy. This was awesome keep it going!
As a woman with autism, my “free puzzle” has always been necklaces that were tangled. 😂
Awesome work. 👏👏👏
i am so glad i saw this guy for the first time.
Me biting my cousin as a kid and saying she tasted like chicken should have been the first sign of my neurodivergency lmfao.
Not really
The untangling thing is so real! My mom used to have a dish of jewelry that would be come impossibly tangled over time. My mom used to pay me $20 to sit down and untangle it for her. Man I wish she still would 😂
HIlarious!! Can't wait to see more from Dan!
As a Chilean, I confirm hahaha
Bro, I love your style and presence on the stage
Incredible set. Thank you so much for the giggles and also we are the same person lolol
Your jokes that get in between the set up and punch line are my favorite , genius
You are hilarious please do more!!!
Great insight and humor to a real life experience.
You can count me as +1 person who loved your set! Thanks for the great jokes, Dan!
dude life is full of free puzzles. I love it.
What a great set, I laughed from start to end. Amazing!
I love this guy his brain talks out loud what I only think to myself.
Dude, that was one of the funniest sets I've heard in ages. Loved it.
This was the Most Fun!! Badass Dan! Beast of a set!
8:07 loved that buffey and Wendy's salad bar and dessert bar. Bangerang❤
I consider myself something of a standup junkie, I've been into it for 30 years now. This set is one of the best in my recent memory. Thank you for sharing and being real, I will try to look more of you up. Also I consider myself weird as well, I find it much more enjoyable than being "normal" or "average". Be well and I look forward to, hopefully, hearing more. ^_^ EDIT: Jersey Proud!
Absolutely crushed it! Amazingly funny set!
Very funny and clever set. Can't wait to see more!!!!! 👍
This is amazing. ❤
Excellent set!!! Hilarious
😂😂😂😂 that was great! Loved the ending cause it's a true story lol
great set!
Thank you sir Great set😂
Holy shit, I feel seen 😅🫶🏻 F*cking hilarious!
Dan LaMorte, definitely checking for more of his work!
It’s Dan!!! ❤ his shows are always a surprise 😂
As a Level 1 Autistic, I am 90% of Dan’s comedy. 🤣
Finally something for us too!
The most relatable stand up i've seen in a while
I needed this today😂 thank you
This is great!!!
I have a stamp collection and I’m dying-fantastic!😂😂😂😂
Best stand up I've seen in ages
Great set! Awesome closer!!
We stan Dan!!!!

This is a great set!
Definitely a fan. 😂😂😂
GO DAN!
I LOVE this guy!!!!
you’re literally my comfort person i love you kislux !
I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome as a teen, and found a lot of this relateable haha.
Embrace the weirdness!
Just subscribed to Dan. Thank you
I love this guy. Makes me feel seen.
Great laughs, dude!
Dan LaMorte, you tell a great story. Glad that I just ran into you here on YT. You're great. (7/24/2024)
Outstanding work.
😂😂😂😂😂 oh this was a good one✅
😂 Thanks for the laughs
Fantastic ❤
Well done! Thanks for the laughs bud!
Brilliant set man!
Brilliant!
Jonny putting in work 💪 😂
Relatable
I too have that diagnosis. My doctor said Use your humor "tell ppl you have the diagnosis formerly known as Asperger's"
I do use that word. It hasn't happened yet but if I were to get challenged, I think my response will be "Don't tell me how to identify". Boom!
On the subject of cords, I have always said: "There are two types of ppl in the world, those who care about cords and those who don't. I'll admit, It's a fairly exclusive group." lol
Can't wait to catch his show in LDN!
Good comedy, hope to see u around more 😁
i genuinely laughed at this 😭😭😭
Very funny!
This guy is good!
Excellent Chilean miner bit!
Good set.
Hopefully you continue to develop good material.
Lvl 10 set, rly hope Carlos sees this one day.
