This has a lot of irony. It's say this is post-irony, because its hard to tell what is sincere and what is ironic, and can be appreciated on both levels
Dear everyone, if you like Joe Pera's show please can we leave more user reviews online, like on metacritic? The media aren't promoting it much because it's not getting enough user ratings and reviews. If it doesn't get enough advertisement Joe might not be able to keep it going, and become a bricklayer again! Please upvote the comment to get the word out, thank you all.
@John Wick It's just not your cup of tea! Humor is not even the main focus of his content and it's not supposed to even be the type people will laugh out loud with. He is just gently rambling about things, which for most of us it's sweet and relaxing. When am having a bad day i feel better after watching his videos!
@John Wick Sounds to me like you just don't understand his content or that it just doesn't appeal to you. That's not an issue. It's not supposed to be entirely funny.
Gametroll exactly, his content is meant to give you a soft chuckle and maybe help you reflect on your own life and notice the small things around you. Appreciate daily life. That’s the point
Every Saturday, when I was young, I would lay across the carpet and open old electronics I got from Salvation Army to see how they worked. I would use the light from the sun beaming through the window. I would crawl with the light until it faded and then mom would call for supper. I haven’t thought of that until I watched this video.
Very cool. My dad always taught me "If something doesn't work, just take it apart. In the best case, you'll fix it. In the worst case it'll still be broken but you'll have learned how it works."
Hey tells jokes that dont make you laugh but instead they just make you smile a little cause you got, he just tries to make you have a good time and take a second to just appreciate little small things.
Spooky Cone exactly -you caught his little on purpose drop to make those in the know/paying attention laugh. Ultimately tho he doesn it for himself. First and foremost
@@kathleenmele777 Same. His gentleness is soothing. I do know that cortisol, a stress hormone, increases the perception of pain. Since this video reduces my stress, it eases my pain a little. Thank you, Joe Pera.
A lot of ‘relaxing’ stuff can be quite patronising and hollow. Joe bringing up mortality and not losing the soothing vibe is very powerful. I hope you all are doing alright and aren’t being too hard on yourselves. You’ve made it this far!
God it's so weird seeing actually wholesome Adult Swim content. This like something you'd see on PBS. I kept waiting for the dark subversive turn and it never came.
I know no one with any influence will see this, but folks I would pay for an entire streaming service that was nothing but this kind of peaceful authentic stuff
"But instead of going down that road, why don't I give you some good news? Tree TV is considering a merger with Waterfall TV. And I'd say it's pretty likely, cause I am the CEO of both."
At the end of the video footage, I suddenly cried. After all these years, I have been chasing happiness endlessly without realizing that something as yet very simple can be so beautiful. Thank you Joe Pera!
22 minutes and I didn't have to think about losing my job, evections, no job openings and going to to food bank Wednesday. Thank you, have a safe Memorial day everyone.
This reminds me of when I would lay down in the backseat of my parents car while we were driving home and I follow the telephone wires with my eyes until I would fall asleep only to wake up hours later in my mom’s embrace. Thank you Joe Pera.
This video made me realize that I've been looking at the world through an incredibly negative lens for a long time. With everything that's been going on lately, I've been looping faster and faster around an endless track of pessimism thinking about all of worlds and my own big problems. This and Joe Peras other videos have been an exit from that track. It's like he took my brain and said "hey buddy get out of that dark cloud, come down lower and try to remember when you were a kid. Try think like that and notice how wonderful these everyday things are. I'm going to feed apples to a happy horse and make you remember how you used to feel looking out a car window."
Just lost my father to pancreatic cancer. Stumbled across this, cried some wonderful tears, and helped the healing process just a little bit. I give it a huge bag of neat-o's and a hug to Joe!
I wish I was joking when I said that this show has literally saved me from so many panic attacks and anxiety riddling nights where I can’t sleep or breathe. I love this so much
im so dumb for not looking him up on you tube sooner---- i counted on my 5 am alarms to wake me to see it on adult swim. instead of dangerous amounts of sleep aids that dont always work, i now have this**** and you guys. Knowing im not truly alone is...well you know. thank you*
"...But if just one nurse can come home and watch it to fall asleep, I think it would be worth it." Thanks, Joe. I just got off of a shift today. I really needed this. Thank you, Joe Pera and AS. Goodnight.
We need to start a grassroots thing to give them some token of recognition. Gold star, or whatever, but something to acknowledge their courage and willingness to risk their lives to help others during the great pandemic of 2020.
This video may quite literally save my life one day. It’s one of the few things that makes me feel safe during the worst panic attacks and depressive episodes.
I think tree TV could honestly kill it in Norway, it already fits in with all our slow tv stuff, and if Joe Pera does voiceover alongside it, it would genuinely be a huge hit
@@subu_versus you can find a lot of them on RUclips or go to the slow TV Wikipedia page and find something that sound interesting and just search for it. They're unfortunately not super accessible outside of Norway so I think that's the easiest way
"It's a little more casual than ususal but if just one nurse can come home and watch it to fall asleep it'll be worth it." My wife is a labor and delivery nurse on night shifts during this pandemic and she relaxed in bed with this video when she got home. Thank you, Joe Pera. Thank you, Adult Swim.
I have a hard time watching this video without having my eyes engulfed in tears. I found this show through my sister a year ago after a terrible break up. Ill never forget that day, seeing her and having her comfort me and watching Joe's show at the same time is one of the most beautiful moments of my life.
May 20th, 2020 My apartment burned down. Nobody was hurt, thank god, but we all found ourselves homeless during the midst of the pandemic in its first awful stages. A few weeks of madness later, a friend of mine let me stay in his and his wife's art-room until I got back onto my feet. The first thing I watched was this, it was the first genuine smile on my face. Go Pera!
"Days have cycles and seasons have cycles but time is not a cycle for us, just a straight line, a one that doesn't continue forever but that's alright, my routine helps me forget this. " You made me cry Joe!
me as a kid: *watches as trees pass by the window* I wonder if this feeling could ever be captured in a film. nahh, that’d be silly Joe Pera 15 years later:
Man. He's nonsensical, but he makes more sense than anyone I've heard. There's such a sweet hopefulness in his words: "Maple syrup toast... don't eat while driving because it tastes so good you might crash." Poetry, I tell you.
This is one of the nicest, purest, most wholesome corners of the internet I can say I’ve found. It’s really nice here. I think I’ll be sticking around for a little while. Thanks, Joe, and thank you fellow viewers for offering strangers an intimate peek into your interpretation of comfort. Have a great night’s sleep everyone.
I would literally watch and listen to him just simply narrate oldass episodes of Mutual of Omahas WIld Kingdom, or NatGeo specials or whatever. its wonderful.
Watching trees move outside a car window is probably one of the best things about life. You don’t have to do anything or worry about life. You just sit there in a cozy car, bus, or train while you slowly pass a calming place. It’s the feeling of watching somebody else making a building in Minecraft. It’s relaxing and calming.
“...But now, more than ever, my routine is what stands between me and the abyss. I learned this lesson one evening when I decided to stay up all night to see what would happen. Instead of going to bed on time, I drank a coffee after dinner then watched four bill burr movies. It was great until saw the sun come up and I saw there’s nothing separating days but sleep. And though days have cycles, and seasons have cycles, time is not a cycle for us. Just a straight line, one that doesn’t continue forever, but that’s alright, because my routine helps me forget this. Anyhow, I’ve been thinking a lot of comfort lately and the second law of thermodynamics. Usually, I don’t, but right now, it’s nice to know that all natural processes are irreversible and things are always moving forward.” quite possibly his best quote, love ya joe🤍
@@thecitizenfarmer7700 he might also be saying Babar movies, an elephant cartoon. The wholesome chillness matches his aesthetic, and there’s enough movies that he could conceivably watch them all night
I think Black Holes are reversing the big bang. And all black hole will merge together after sucking everything up and we will hit the restart button. A new big bang , a new universe born.
"Time is not a cycle for us -- just a straight line." "One that doesn't continue forever, but that's all right because my routine helps me forget this." That was an unexpectedly profound statement.
It’s not silly. He’s showing that truth in a way that is easy to swallow. If it were too direct, we would mock it. The pseudo/meta/ironic presentation makes us more open to these beautiful aspects of life, and it’s exactly what we need.
"He's giving boundary to the boundaryless....it's kind of comforting to watch in these times"..... somehow I just ....started to cry and nod.... this is one of the most powerful things I have encountered in my life. We need more of this in the world.
I feel like I've known at least 6 or 7 people that talk exactly like Joe, but they were all in their 50s or 60s. And they weren't nearly as funny, calm and engaging.
I come back to this episode more than the others. There’s something so wholesome and soothing. Plus, I miss my dog. She was no Walter, but she was a great dog. I showed this episode to my 70 year old mother and the Walter song and scenery even got her tearful.
when i watch joe's content, for a very brief moment i feel that things are okay; not incredible, not devestating, but okay, and thats all i really need to keep going. thanks joe.
Another night of not falling asleep. I tried rain videos. I tried people talking and then I came upon Joe. Instead of falling asleep I found him quite interesting. Unlike the days of my younger life and dating handsome men, and finding them painfully unready for a real relationship I found here a man I was comfortable with . He introduced me to wanting to explore Kafka and a summer boat ride in downtown Milwaukee. Now I really can't fall asleep because I'm wondering if I can find my Joe. So I'll get up and clean something . I hope to get sleepy before dawn.
This show helps ease my depression, I can watch this all night. I also lost my girlfriend to pancreatic cancer recently and that’s been heavy 😞 Thank Adult Swim and Joe Pera for this moment of peace
CrimsonVermillion So sorry for your loss and good that this helps you as it does me watching it with tears that are trapped in my eyes remembering the loss of so many in my life but united with the love this peaceful man.
This video brought me to literal tears. The fact I feel a genuine human connection to this wonderful man and his beautiful way of seeing the world. I guess I had just forgotten how to appriciate these little moments that make up our lives
I know this might've seemed like a very simple thing when you came up with it, but my 10 year old son has anxiety and struggles to settle on an evening, but he really loves setting the relaxing talks you to/back to sleep videos going. We have had many blissful and peaceful moments thanks to these videos. They are some how simultaneously profound and simplistic. As a child my youngest son's favourite place was a multi-level aquarium in Hull called the deep. Anyway, as he was falling asleep to this video tonight and I said "there is a video for tree tv, I haven't watched it yet though..." and in a sleepy voice he responded "does it include an NBA game?" That was very sweet because in the UK we really don't cover the NBA. But he does like shooting hoops.
joe pera's work is a kind of art-comedy that reminds us all of how good and funny it is to be alive and human and share it with others, it is exactly what we need
This video made me feel some kind of way and now I will fall asleep peacefully, and i know I will forget this moment overtime when I’m dragged back into the cycle of self absorption and the bustle of everyday life, but right now I’m reminded for a little bit that life is simple and I’m a person like you (reading this) who isn’t alone. I know you don’t know who I am and this will sound cliche and silly, but safe travels, and I’m as sincere as I can be when I say have a nice rest of life, see you in space
Joe Pera is exactly what David Foster Wallace was talking about when he said this in 1993: The next real literary "rebels" in this country might well emerge as some weird bunch of anti-rebels, born oglers who dare somehow to back away from ironic watching, who have the childish gall actually to endorse and instantiate single-entendre principles. Who treat of plain old untrendy human troubles and emotions in U.S. life with reverence and conviction. Who eschew self-consciousness and hip fatigue. These anti-rebels would be outdated, of course, before they even started. Dead on the page. Too sincere. Clearly repressed. Backward, quaint, naive, anachronistic. Maybe that'll be the point. Maybe that's why they'll be the next real rebels. Real rebels, as far as I can see, risk disapproval. The old postmodern insurgents risked the gasp and squeal: shock, disgust, outrage, censorship, accusations of socialism, anarchism, nihilism. Today's risks are different. The new rebels might be artists willing to risk the yawn, the rolled eyes, the cool smile, the nudged ribs, the parody of gifted ironists, the "Oh how banal". To risk accusations of sentimentality, melodrama. Of overcredulity. Of softness. Of willingness to be suckered by a world of lurkers and starers who fear gaze and ridicule above imprisonment without law. Who knows.
MrAnobelo so the reason he does these videos are because his friends said his stand up put them to sleep. So, he thought wait a minute “they’re on to something”
The first time I watched this I bawled my eyes out. A lot in my life has changed so quickly and I guess I was holding a lot of it in until I watched this video. Listening to someone just enjoy the smallest things in life in the most relaxing way makes it easy to realize just how much burdens us.
I found this on a bad day in 2020. It still makes me smile. I didn't even know I was holding my breath until I sat and watched this, and exhaled so fully. Thank you, Joe.
I started watching joe pera talks with you expecting it was gonna be like other adult swim shows like infomercials and tim & eric, and man I'm so glad i was wrong. This show is the best and most beautiful thing ive ever come across
"It's a little more casual than ususal but if just one nurse can come home and watch it to fall asleep it'll be worth it" I'm a nurse assistant not a nurse but I almost cried at this part because I'm actually watching this to help me sleep before my shift on a COVID unit, thank you Joe ;-;
How are you doing these days? How's the sleep? Thank you for what you do. I've had a few hospital stays, and the NA's were like angels. Such hard work. They kept me together.
I didn’t realize Owen stopped putting music out as casiotone for the painfully alone to put into a new project, until I heard the song at the end with such a familiar voice. Thanks joe
It's strange because on one side I would like everybody to know this fantastic, precious and lovable human being that is Joe Pera in order to share some wholesomeness, on the other end though I want to keep as pristine as possible the niche that this character has created
I think his observations & his humor could change the perspectives of other people before those of other people would change his. I say share the Pera.
@@ashleybrooke2087 might sound dumb, but check out The Good Place, the comedy of Pete Holmes (and his podcast), The Midnight Gospel, The Trip (all 4 series)
I don't get that, why would anything change when it is popular? I have heard the same in music. Joe Pera has been on popular talk shows and acts the same as here, so don't worry!
It made me cry too. I actually started sobbing at the last song, and felt better than I had in a really long time. I think this video is cathartic and calming.
Being able to find the humor and beauty in unused footage is a gift the writers and creators have. Thank you for responding to the current situation in our lives right now.
I guess I'm in a raw enough emotional state from the last several months that this had me on the verge of tears several times and I honestly cannot tell you why.
i’m completely in the same boat. it strikes a nerve like i’ve never experienced while engaging with media. he walks the line between silly and heartfelt so naturally. clearly the whole creative team really believes what joe believes. sorry if this comes off weird i’m also emotionally raw - take care please
Its because your soul figured out all at one moment what it had been missing in this modern world, real human beings with diverse thoughts, and real emotions. It's overwhelming.
This allowed me to let loose some bottled emotions, and for once in a long while, I had a good cry instead of an anxiety-ridden, panic-induced one. Thank you.
Listening to Joe Pera’s talks before sleep has become one of my new favorite things. It’s not because it’s boring so I fall asleep. There is something very calming and wholesome about his videos; I genuinely enjoy them. 😌
This is what happens when an entire generation's sense of humor relies on irony and cynicism - we begin to crave sincerity and wholesomeness
@Sharky No. It just is.
@Sharky It's not bad but it's sad
Interesting comment.
This has a lot of irony. It's say this is post-irony, because its hard to tell what is sincere and what is ironic, and can be appreciated on both levels

Nice
Exactly that!

I can never forgive Adult Swim for not renewing Joe Pera... unforgivable!
Sometimes something has to be short to be truly great, there is enough Pera for a lifetime of reruns

Joe Pera 15 years later:
I like how he just calls Mike Myers "Austin Powers"
rattyeely I think he believes its nonfiction
Man. He's nonsensical, but he makes more sense than anyone I've heard. There's such a sweet hopefulness in his words: "Maple syrup toast... don't eat while driving because it tastes so good you might crash."
Poetry, I tell you.
This is one of the nicest, purest, most wholesome corners of the internet I can say I’ve found. It’s really nice here. I think I’ll be sticking around for a little while. Thanks, Joe, and thank you fellow viewers for offering strangers an intimate peek into your interpretation of comfort. Have a great night’s sleep everyone.
Give Joe pera all the money he needs boys, hes birthing a new genre
Carrying on the Kaufmann-esque tradition
new genre - he sure is. Doesn't fit into any previous category (Fred Rogers is closest IMO)
@@paxmule There's a bit of a nod to slow TV from Scandinavia, also slow radio but what he's doing is his own thing for sure
SNL's early "Deep Thoughts" by Jack Handy would be a precedent to this I think.
Baz Luhrmann's - Everybody's Free (too wear sunscreen)
This song always got me as a kid. This video reminded me of it.
Joe, when this is all over I will tell you about how you changed my life for the better. Thank you for this.
Amen
I would literally watch and listen to him just simply narrate oldass episodes of Mutual of Omahas WIld Kingdom, or NatGeo specials or whatever. its wonderful.
This show and Yuru Camp are the two most comfy, wholesome, feel-good shows ever.
Why would he care?
if there's one person I'd hire to talk me to sleep, it'd be Joe Pera
Watching trees move outside a car window is probably one of the best things about life.
You don’t have to do anything or worry about life.
You just sit there in a cozy car, bus, or train while you slowly pass a calming place.
It’s the feeling of watching somebody else making a building in Minecraft.
It’s relaxing and calming.
“...But now, more than ever, my routine is what stands between me and the abyss. I learned this lesson one evening when I decided to stay up all night to see what would happen. Instead of going to bed on time, I drank a coffee after dinner then watched four bill burr movies. It was great until saw the sun come up and I saw there’s nothing separating days but sleep. And though days have cycles, and seasons have cycles, time is not a cycle for us. Just a straight line, one that doesn’t continue forever, but that’s alright, because my routine helps me forget this. Anyhow, I’ve been thinking a lot of comfort lately and the second law of thermodynamics. Usually, I don’t, but right now, it’s nice to know that all natural processes are irreversible and things are always moving forward.”
quite possibly his best quote, love ya joe🤍
please help me find these movies. A google search for Bull Bar Movies turns up nothing... Thanks!
@@thecitizenfarmer7700 i think he's actually saying Bill Burr who's a stand up comedian and an actor.
@@thecitizenfarmer7700 he might also be saying Babar movies, an elephant cartoon. The wholesome chillness matches his aesthetic, and there’s enough movies that he could conceivably watch them all night
😭😭😭
I think Black Holes are reversing the big bang. And all black hole will merge together after sucking everything up and we will hit the restart button. A new big bang , a new universe born.
If RUclips could quit ripping me away from Joe to yell in my ear with Ads that would be fantastic.
Google RUclips Vanced. No commercials on Mobile. Free premium.
Pay for RUclips red...pera doesn't pay the bills for free
AllergicToMyself pay for youtube red, Good joke bud
Just go to the end, then back to the beginning. Magic, all ads are gone.
go buy his seasons online,it would greatly help him financially
This is unironically very calming and and relaxing. I would love a podcast like this and i would love a real tree tv.
there is a real tree tv lol, check the description of the video
"Time is not a cycle for us -- just a straight line."
"One that doesn't continue forever, but that's all right because my routine helps me forget this."
That was an unexpectedly profound statement.
And pretty funny too
Beauty and the beast being Kafkaesque is one of the funniest jokes I've ever heard
I know it sounds silly, but for a brief moment this made life worth living.
I hope you Find more worth living moments.
Yes joe perra saves the day
It’s not silly. He’s showing that truth in a way that is easy to swallow. If it were too direct, we would mock it. The pseudo/meta/ironic presentation makes us more open to these beautiful aspects of life, and it’s exactly what we need.
@@mannyglover I really like the way you put that. I never thought about his work in that way.
Makes perfect sense to me
"He's giving boundary to the boundaryless....it's kind of comforting to watch in these times"..... somehow I just ....started to cry and nod.... this is one of the most powerful things I have encountered in my life. We need more of this in the world.
I feel like I've known at least 6 or 7 people that talk exactly like Joe, but they were all in their 50s or 60s. And they weren't nearly as funny, calm and engaging.
SNES DRUNK!!
“Don’t worry nobody turned me into a cardinal fish” OH THANK GOODNESS
For real, I was legitimately worried for a second there
That would be Kafkaesque
Joe Pera: They can think like humans but can't talk..
Me: why?
Joe: because they are lizards.
Lizards can’t talk because they are to nervous
@@tuxedosteve9556 or shy.
Actually cried. 🥺
Simple humor is best humor
We are lizards
I come back to this episode more than the others. There’s something so wholesome and soothing. Plus, I miss my dog. She was no Walter, but she was a great dog. I showed this episode to my 70 year old mother and the Walter song and scenery even got her tearful.
5:00 When I was a kid, I remember I would watch the power lines looking like they were moving closer together while riding in the car.
Tree TV should have captions so I can learn how to identify a tree
I’d love that!

when i watch joe's content, for a very brief moment i feel that things are okay; not incredible, not devestating, but okay, and thats all i really need to keep going. thanks joe.
THIS.
Learn and practice TM.
I really havent been able to have a genuine smile for awhile, thank you joe.

Another night of not falling asleep. I tried rain videos. I tried people talking and then I came upon Joe. Instead of falling asleep I found him quite interesting. Unlike the days of my younger life and dating handsome men, and finding them painfully unready for a real relationship I found here a man I was comfortable with . He introduced me to wanting to explore Kafka and a summer boat ride in downtown Milwaukee.
Now I really can't fall asleep because I'm wondering if I can find my Joe. So I'll get up and clean something . I hope to get sleepy before dawn.
This show helps ease my depression, I can watch this all night. I also lost my girlfriend to pancreatic cancer recently and that’s been heavy 😞 Thank Adult Swim and Joe Pera for this moment of peace
I'm so sorry for your loss.
CrimsonVermillion So sorry for your loss and good that this helps you as it does me watching it with tears that are trapped in my eyes remembering the loss of so many in my life but united with the love this peaceful man.
Damn, i hope the very best for you. And may your girlfriend’s soul rest in peace.
Shes in a better place. One where we will arrive in due time
❤️
Best part of the video how happy that horse gets when he realized that he had apples for him..
This video brought me to literal tears. The fact I feel a genuine human connection to this wonderful man and his beautiful way of seeing the world. I guess I had just forgotten how to appriciate these little moments that make up our lives
I know this might've seemed like a very simple thing when you came up with it, but my 10 year old son has anxiety and struggles to settle on an evening, but he really loves setting the relaxing talks you to/back to sleep videos going. We have had many blissful and peaceful moments thanks to these videos. They are some how simultaneously profound and simplistic. As a child my youngest son's favourite place was a multi-level aquarium in Hull called the deep.
Anyway, as he was falling asleep to this video tonight and I said "there is a video for tree tv, I haven't watched it yet though..." and in a sleepy voice he responded "does it include an NBA game?" That was very sweet because in the UK we really don't cover the NBA. But he does like shooting hoops.
This is a beautiful story. Cheers to you from California.
Hey, I'm a nurse; and I'm using this to fall asleep. It is worth it!
Thank you so much for your service ❤️
Would you recommend this video to your patients?
I know. That's why I'm here tonight, again lol.
I have a friend that is a nurse and she’s recommended this
@@ccriztoff what?
joe pera's work is a kind of art-comedy that reminds us all of how good and funny it is to be alive and human and share it with others, it is exactly what we need
So true. It’s a beautiful thang
Joe: “Someday I’ll make a TV network with trees only”
Me: that’ll be nice Joe.
When I was 21 I used to climb up to the roof with a case of beer and just stare at the stars for hours. Maybe I should do something like that again.
Just be careful not to drink too many beers or you might fall off! Lol
Funny how we find simple greatness and then move on from it. Life has a way of irrationally distracting us from the truly meaningful moments.
How did I tear up at this? There’s just something strangely pure about Joe Pera.
Your heart is soft
No idea - I was cracking up. “He’s still alive - there’s still time.” 🤣🤣
protect this man at all costs.
This video made me feel some kind of way and now I will fall asleep peacefully, and i know I will forget this moment overtime when I’m dragged back into the cycle of self absorption and the bustle of everyday life, but right now I’m reminded for a little bit that life is simple and I’m a person like you (reading this) who isn’t alone. I know you don’t know who I am and this will sound cliche and silly, but safe travels, and I’m as sincere as I can be when I say have a nice rest of life, see you in space
This show... its hard for me to cry due to my coping mechanisms as a child, but this show always gets a tear from me. Its beautiful
Joe Pera is exactly what David Foster Wallace was talking about when he said this in 1993:
The next real literary "rebels" in this country might well emerge as some weird bunch of anti-rebels, born oglers who dare somehow to back away from ironic watching, who have the childish gall actually to endorse and instantiate single-entendre principles. Who treat of plain old untrendy human troubles and emotions in U.S. life with reverence and conviction. Who eschew self-consciousness and hip fatigue. These anti-rebels would be outdated, of course, before they even started. Dead on the page. Too sincere. Clearly repressed. Backward, quaint, naive, anachronistic. Maybe that'll be the point. Maybe that's why they'll be the next real rebels. Real rebels, as far as I can see, risk disapproval. The old postmodern insurgents risked the gasp and squeal: shock, disgust, outrage, censorship, accusations of socialism, anarchism, nihilism. Today's risks are different. The new rebels might be artists willing to risk the yawn, the rolled eyes, the cool smile, the nudged ribs, the parody of gifted ironists, the "Oh how banal". To risk accusations of sentimentality, melodrama. Of overcredulity. Of softness. Of willingness to be suckered by a world of lurkers and starers who fear gaze and ridicule above imprisonment without law. Who knows.
I really like that...
i fardded nd shidded
B. Jr. Nice
This is the best thing I've read recently. Thanks.
now i know about the idea of New Sincerity. thanks man
Joe Pera is like 31 years old. Why does his voice sound like a wise 65 year old man. I also want him to narrate my life.
Because that's his entire shtick.
Is it really a shtick though?
MrAnobelo so the reason he does these videos are because his friends said his stand up put them to sleep. So, he thought wait a minute “they’re on to something”
@@suburbanweekend that's hilarious
When you go poop in a public bathroom, everybody in there would here joe pera say “it looks like she shouldn’t of had that Taco Bell earlier”
These videos are never long enough, but all the more excellently packed with excellence. Love from Germany.

The first time I watched this I bawled my eyes out. A lot in my life has changed so quickly and I guess I was holding a lot of it in until I watched this video. Listening to someone just enjoy the smallest things in life in the most relaxing way makes it easy to realize just how much burdens us.
I fully felt this. Love to you bud
Same, man. Same.
Same, it hit like a ton of bricks
💯
Good insight. Very true. I hope you're in a better place.
“Don’t let your kids see, there’s more than one Dory” 12:04 God damn he is amazing.
I found this on a bad day in 2020. It still makes me smile. I didn't even know I was holding my breath until I sat and watched this, and exhaled so fully. Thank you, Joe.
I started watching joe pera talks with you expecting it was gonna be like other adult swim shows like infomercials and tim & eric, and man I'm so glad i was wrong. This show is the best and most beautiful thing ive ever come across
"It's a little more casual than ususal but if just one nurse can come home and watch it to fall asleep it'll be worth it" I'm a nurse assistant not a nurse but I almost cried at this part because I'm actually watching this to help me sleep before my shift on a COVID unit, thank you Joe ;-;
How are you doing these days? How's the sleep? Thank you for what you do. I've had a few hospital stays, and the NA's were like angels. Such hard work. They kept me together.
♥️♥️♥️

I'm a nurse, and I can say that every bit was worth it. Joe Pera is a pure being of calm
zypherax thank you for all you do
Coming back to this during a panic attack right now. It's so comforting and grounded
I didn’t realize Owen stopped putting music out as casiotone for the painfully alone to put into a new project, until I heard the song at the end with such a familiar voice. Thanks joe
Ahhhh, thank you! I knew I recognized that voice.
This man is a national treasure and we must protect him at all costs.
international treasure! don't think u can claim him!! :(((
@@TalkSickTunes intergalactic treasure :)
Agreed!
@@TalkSickTunes I think that’s actually what I meant! 😊
It's strange because on one side I would like everybody to know this fantastic, precious and lovable human being that is Joe Pera in order to share some wholesomeness, on the other end though I want to keep as pristine as possible the niche that this character has created
+
I think his observations & his humor could change the perspectives of other people before those of other people would change his. I say share the Pera.
The idea that you would wanna keep this to yourself to keep it "pristine" makes me sad at how we are just animals
@@ashleybrooke2087 might sound dumb, but check out The Good Place, the comedy of Pete Holmes (and his podcast), The Midnight Gospel, The Trip (all 4 series)
I don't get that, why would anything change when it is popular? I have heard the same in music. Joe Pera has been on popular talk shows and acts the same as here, so don't worry!
How? I mean literally how could you cancel his show Adult Swim??? why??? he's the most wholesome human on earth...
i really dont know why, but this video made me emotional. the vibe is so special.
It made me cry too. I actually started sobbing at the last song, and felt better than I had in a really long time. I think this video is cathartic and calming.
Being able to find the humor and beauty in unused footage is a gift the writers and creators have. Thank you for responding to the current situation in our lives right now.
Sometimes when I'm in a public setting I'll look at strangers and hope that they are well loved
Selfishly I hope for the same from someone else
Greetings friend, I hope you are well loved by your friends and family, have a good day/night, week/month, year/decade.
@@a_pufferfish2936 sorry for the year later response, but I hope the same for you!
I truly believe Joe Pera is the key to finding happiness in life
He's just showing us the way
9:51 I got news for your friend
I guess I'm in a raw enough emotional state from the last several months that this had me on the verge of tears several times and I honestly cannot tell you why.
i’m completely in the same boat. it strikes a nerve like i’ve never experienced while engaging with media. he walks the line between silly and heartfelt so naturally. clearly the whole creative team really believes what joe believes. sorry if this comes off weird i’m also emotionally raw - take care please
Hope you both are well
Its because your soul figured out all at one moment what it had been missing in this modern world, real human beings with diverse thoughts, and real emotions. It's overwhelming.
@@mollyross888 no apologies necessary. If you read more comments from this thread, you will see it had a similar impact on many of us
This allowed me to let loose some bottled emotions, and for once in a long while, I had a good cry instead of an anxiety-ridden, panic-induced one. Thank you.
That’s so good. I had a moment like that too. Happy for you bud. Reminders of what it means to be human are so good for us.
I literally don't understand anything he says (english is not my native language), but his voice is so relaxing.
It’s him talking about stuff with occasional jokes, it’s very wholesome
I hope this can be translated well
Listening to Joe Pera’s talks before sleep has become one of my new favorite things. It’s not because it’s boring so I fall asleep. There is something very calming and wholesome about his videos; I genuinely enjoy them. 😌
