The fact that “it would ruin the magic” registered in my head as “oh they’ll see he doesn’t have legs” instead of “oh they’ll see there’s JUST A AN ENTIRE FUCKING PERSON DOWN THERE”
I think it might also be a reference to him not being a ventriloquist, he's a puppeteer, less Jeff Dunham, more Jim Henson. His lips are flapping away when he's controlling the puppet, so not only would you see a person, like you do ventriloquists, but you would see him saying all the words.
I'm quite curious how he moves when making his entrance. Is the guy rolling around laying on a cart or something? Do they remove parts of the floor so he can walk in?
@@DeadeyeJim327 In a rare interview he says he "duck walks" or "crab walks" under there. Like it's given him some back problems, and he does yoga and sees a specialist to try and keep it from hurting his posture. Interview was on something called "under the puppet" on RUclips.

@@BAGGY_305 I watched feltopia but still came back here to hear about Morgan. Just love the way he describes everything in it... I saw him in my head. The bestest bedtime story
@@presidentobeng at first maybe, but keep in mind this isn't his only Randy Writes a Novel show, he goes to several cities to do pretty much the same act, and with each show he adds or removes jokes depending on which didn't land previously. For example the Bookshelf story didn't include Morgan's creepy laugh or Morgan driving away with Randy in the real first draft (which can be watched on this channel)
The level of immersion... I genuinely got freaked out when the little coffee mug people started talking and Randy's mouth wasn't moving. Then I remembered. He's a puppet.
"I'm not a memorable person. But if i tell a great story, maybe people will remember that instead." bro i came here to laugh not be emotionally destroyed by an R rated felt grape at 1 AM ☹️
you can feel that silence after 1:08:30, just cold chill silence, beautiful that someone can still move people that way, it makes the whole show superb

@@slayerdave6899 if I end up deciding to attend the ceremony (not likely, to be honest) Then yeah It is pretty much the exact taste of positive nihilism that I strive for
@@pakman5542 you do realize that 1. You didn't have to come and say that, 2. "Senior phrases" are a thing outside of high-school and 3. Bud, this is RUclips. You're probably 10 minutes away of hearing something more "high-school like" as you put it. So why are you on my replys? And why do you need to be rude to people?
The ending just hits right through my veins and leaves an untouchable wound that will last for centuries and make me think of this puppet whenever I try to find meaning in what I do in life. It's a true legacy for me Randy. Thanks for the wholesome show!
The Gumtree story is already impressive enough. But when you watch it, try to look for all the little things that make it seem real. The tiny mentions of facts that never come up again, referencing the text when Randy gets to the house, etc. Hell, he even makes assumptions about a person he’s made up to the audience, going off on a completely different joke in the process. The misdirection in this story plays off the audience itself, and it’s utterly mind blowing.
It's even crazier whenever you realize that it's a dumbed down kicked around and then exaggerated version of his Hemingway bit over a shorter period of (in-story) time
I think I understand why it feels so unsatisfying to know that wasn't real It's because it felt real It's not your usual made up fiction where no matter what happens we will always have the safety net of "no matter how real this may feel it isn't" (something a lot of horror writers have to work hard just so the audience doesn't realize) but in this case we jumped blindly into the story receiving flashes of light that darkened as fast as they appeared(the twists) only to be followed by even more light and a lingering feeling of brightness during the dark moments making so we craved some sort of end or a floor to hit but afterwards we learn that we were in the net all along, no matter how big those twists and turns were they didn't happen The point of fiction is to feel real while the point that stories based on something that really happened is to not feel fictional but this hits an interesting place where it feels so real we didn't realize it was made up, I think that we like stories like this because they sound so crazy that they couldn't possibly happen but with enough details and a good enough presentation we might start to question that belief to the point where we throw the entire question out the window because it sounds dumb seeing the amount of small notes and bits that make it seem like a retelling of randy's life, and it takes us out of our usual repetitive routine into a small tale we would gush about to our friends for months whenever we had the chance
I’ve watched this so many times. And the more I watch it, the Morgan story is kinda a combination of the other topics Randy talked about, This time I noticed the mention of broad meadows
Yeah, it’s gotta be physically demanding on top of remembering what he’s said and reiterating it on topic as the needs arise throughout, ie mentioning Broadmeadows during the bookshelf gumtree section, after having talked about it in passing 5 mins earlier, the guy has a lot going on. Mouth movements is another….
09:34 I had to rewatch this joke twice to fully get it and rewatched it many times again just because I forgot he can’t see the audience cuz he’s a puppet.
You know someone’s good at puppetry when you’re amazed at how good the *puppet* is at ventriloquism! I legit had to stop myself at the coffee cup bit because my brain thought the puppet was projecting its voice.
LITERALLY the 'fungi' started talking and i fully thought they were being voiced by someone offstage with a mic. it didnt occur to me right away that the puppeteer was speaking and just. not moving randy's mouth.
I just had a fucking stroke reading this comment. I am so HIGHLY impressed with the fact that you chose to write out *while* as *why will* that I am almost positive that you did it on purpose
I guess it's like a drawing. If most of the elements are spot on, one missing is just filled in by the mind. His timing both kinetically and vocally are exaggerated perfection. My favorite moment is in The Book of Randicus, where they show little short films at several points in between his standup. At one point, Randy is talking on a phone, telling his mum "No, I'm good, I'm good, just a little tired." Then when he hangs up he gets frustrated getting the handset to stay on hook, then just collapses against the phone with a sigh. IRL I am constantly on the road for work, and I said to myself, "Man, I know that feeling. Soul-weary from the road." Then I remembered it was a puppet. Just amazing Heath could make me resonate like that with a bits of foam, plastic, and felt. Hadn't had a puppet evoke such a strong emotion since I was a kid watching Jim Henson doing "Time in a Bottle" on the Muppet Show.
Morgan is the best fake story I've ever heard. I was crying so hard when he was pulling the mailbox out I had to shut off my phone for a couple minutes so I wouldn't miss anything.
I think the best part is that it's a perfect fit for what Randy taught us about Ernest Hemingway. After learning about all the crazy shit that guy went through, Morgan's story just feels that much more plausible.
Me: sees daily youtube video being uploaded 48 minutes late, but is also twice as long as normal Also me: MARGRET GET SOME BISCUITS, *THERE'S SOME NEW FANGLED SHIT GOIN' ON IN HYAAA*
Dude made a memorable TedTalk disguised as a comedy show for an hour straight and I am all in for it. Loved his talk about artistic value, because it is true, most of the world's most famous artists only managed to gain worldwide recognition after their deaths and not in their lifetime, and as he said people like Ernest Hemingway was remembered for his artistic life than his personal one.
Seriously gave me Bo Burnham vibes at times. Another comedian who refuses to shy away from the ‘deep stuff’ yet somehow makes it so poignant, relatable, and funny that you find yourself not just laughing but actually *engaging* with the show. Loved every second, can’t wait to see more.
Truth. I honestly didn't know about the shit hand of life Vincent Van Gogh was given until I watched Doctor Who. I only knew about his "The Starry Night" painting and nothing much else like how he cut off his own fucking ear off.
Looking over Ernest Hemmingway's life has convinced me that the gods gave him depression because if he didn't have it, he would have overthrown heaven and hell by the age of 20.
Really love how it swaps between Ted talk and comedy special. He still seems a bit afraid to talk about extremely deep things and I think that’s because he’s performing as a comedian and is afraid of disappointing his audience, but I really enjoyed the breaks into his deeper ideas. That book is something I’d want to get my hands on, just to see more of how he expresses his ideas.
I think it's really good that he doesn't get too deep. He is a comedian, and there's nothing more aggravating than paying for a comedy special and just getting lectured at for an hour like some "comics" do. I think he strikes a pretty healthy balance.
I have literally cried when Randy was talking about the human experience and fear in the end. How the show went flawlessly from an-hour-and-then-some of laughing to giving the audience something to really think about and just sending us off with an implication of how performing in the show has changed Randy? That was an emotional roller coaster of the best kind. Thanks so much for this experience!

I couldnt sleep..discovered this funny Purple dude scrolling on tiktok of all things..and i've watched 2 specials now,laughing so hard that the rest of the house got awoken several times. Thanks Randy for giving us these free specials, -they're BRILLIANT! Netflix needs to give this guy his own damn special!!
One of my favourite special of any comic It goes from hilarity to philosophical so seamless, it's shows his skill to entertain. It looks at so many topic but never loses track it, it's astonishing 10/10
I like how I began this journey completely convinced that Randy would eventually read some of his book. That it was more than just a clever framing for his comedy skit, an extraneous detail to add spice to his narrative. And then about half and hour in I realized I had been duped. Or more accurately I had duped myself into believing that he, a puppet, could in fact read, even after he made a joke out of being blind to the world.
That joke should’ve been the clue that he’d never actually read it 😂and yet we’re almost instantly pulled back into the immersion, especially after the banter with Matterectomy
Here's a fun little behind-the-scenes tidbit: Randy's puppeteer keeps a complete copy of Walking to Skye underneath the desk, so that he can quickly and believably not read any of it during the show.
Randy spending months making the bookshelf story as ENTHRALLING AS POSSIBLE shows he really is a writer at heart. Also love how the twist that its fake doesn't affect the enjoyability of it on rewatch what so ever.
I like to think the story is real, but he said it wasn't for a plot twist. It's too good a story to be fake and I really want Morgan's revenge to exist in the real world
The most impressive thing is the puppeteer is operating both of Randy’s extremely animated and most of the time moving at the same time hands/arms with only one hand. Like idk how he even does it. He’s more expressive then some regular stand up comedians. Oh and the hoarders bit always kills me
@@311kean Thanks. I figured it's one hand for both hand dowels, but his ability to manipulate the dowels such that the arms look so natural astounds me.
I know the yarn about Morgan's bookshelf (rightly) gets most of the plaudits, but the drink-driving skit is one of the best openings to a set I've ever seen.
As a writer myself, the ending just took me the fuck out because that monologue was like seeing the face of God and he just grabbed me by the throat and beat my ass with my unwritten books, asking what I'm going to do about it. Thank you, Randy, for giving a high school student an existential fucking crisis! It was fantastic!
Try taking it from my perspective... being named Gareth, and having a father who was a woodwork teacher, and who often came home from work with stories about kids loosing fingers to bandsaws and circular saws that day.
5:45 It really is an amazing feeling. Back in college the security officers would check me often, namely since I drank this fancy imported soda that came in glass bottles. Every time they were left dumbstruck that I was sober despite stumbling about, admittedly due to nerve damage and dehydration. Senior year a new guy, really gungho and excited to be there type asks me aside after seeing me nearly collapse, bottles haphazardly stuffed into my coats pockets, labels removed, etc. He kept me there for so long because he thought his breathalyzer had broken and had requested another security officer to come on by. The guy draws close, sees me in the lamp light and goes “Oh God damn it, it’s just Sullivan again. Just let him go, he’s not drunk, just an idiot.”

Discovered this dude through shorts and reels, and now I'm doing a marathon of his specials. This is one of those comedians that stay in your head. I love the ones that combine comedy with bits of thoughtful and deep lessons. This is truly a lovely set.
1:07:42 that is an unfairly profound monologue to come from a puppet which rambles about bookshelves and fisting stroke victims. Very well done and very well executed
Is it alright for me to admit that I find this monologue wholesome and heartwarming yet depressing and realistic? I'm sincerely asking. I don't know why it hits hard but with what Randy said, something felt so real with those words and how they just clicked. I hope I'm not dragging with what I said and I hope for you all the best.
Redefining how comedy is done, using the stage in creative ways, fast and witty responses to the audience, and an interesting, deep and thoughtful bit at the end, as well as an excellent finale. As a certified Bo Burnham fan, I am in love with Randy.
I saw him a couple of months ago and he’s even better in person!! I can’t wait for his current tour to be released- it’s easily his funniest one yet, somehow even better than this!!! I’ve genuinely never laughed harder in my life
34:53 I think my sense of humor is broken, because this story is what I laughed hardest at in the whole show. I legit couldn't breathe, and couldn't stop laughing at this poor guy going out that way 😂
That is actually from an episode from the original CSI show (Season 2 Episode 5). from more than 20 years ago... might have happened for real too... i guess... Randy's show is hilarious and poignant, awesome all around.
It’s an urban legend that probably originated as one of those lateral thinking puzzle games, where someone describes an elaborate scene (mostly of how a person died in a strange way) and the goal of the game is to find out what happened by asking yes or no questions. They’re pretty fun.
In "Purple Privilege" he mentions that (at least partially) he credits his rise in fame to someone else pirating and uploading the special. At this point, be a bit silly to take it down :p I do agree it's real nice to have it directly from him though, amazing comedian
In this day and age if it's something popular it will find it's way on the internet sooner or later. Might aswell post it himself and make a few more bucks off of RUclips, right?
This is literally the best show I’ve ever seen. Hilarious jokes and deep intellectual thought that makes you reconsider how you are living your life. The transitions were absolutely brilliant. Well done Randy. Well done
I feel you, brother. I am also a writer and I have published my first two works and tried to live out of it, without sucess, even though people really think my writing is very good. The path of the writer has always been tough but I do believe that with persistance and consistance we might have a shot at making history while living. I don't know your name but I would be happy to know that you shared you story with the world. The world needs writers, even if it doesn't realize. Good luck on your journey
I'm sorry it didn't work out for you (yet?). Before I even started writing my first novel, I read an interview with a successful author who said that (unless you write a massive bestseller), you'll need to churn out a new one about every year to be able to make a living on it. I already knew then that this wasn't going to happen for me, which made me pursue my writing purely as a hobby while studying something completely different. Of course, I was still very eager to get my first novel published (the first draft was shit, but I was quite happy with the umpteenth revision), and I'm currently trying to do so with the sequel after my previous publisher went out of business (not my fault 😉), but I'm quite glad that I don't have to worry about it being profitable, but rather just a way for me to let others take part in my path through the tall grass 🙂. Of course, it would be nice if I could have some success and maybe get famous, but that's just a dream... But I will never sign a contract - no matter for how much - that would impose a deadline or any other kind of pressure on my writing. It's my hobby first and foremost, and I will not let anyone ruin it for me! ... Just some advice to any aspiring writers, from a, frankly, still rather young and unexperienced writer 😅. Take it or leave it - I'm just gonna get on watching Randy's videos now...
@@odellelottering9375 I'm not the same guy, but those words helped push me to be unafraid to leave a job where I was making good money, but was destroying my mental health and in turn, my marriage. We had just bought a house, had a beloved pet drain most of our savings and then pass away (Cancer) and I was having big issues with where I was in life. Didn't feel like I could take a step in any direction without fear of what's worse and at one point while re-watching this on the old channel for the 20th time, I asked myself what would Randy do and he'd tell my boss to shove it while throwing a mailbox through his windshield and so, I quit and a year later I'm in a less paying job with more happiness and wealth than I could have dreamed of.
@@odellelottering9375 My marriage was on the rocks, hard. We separated and I spent long nights at work trying to distract myself from my personal life. I stumbled across Randy with this special and I had never laughed so hard at a comedian. When it got to the end, and how serious it became, it made me reflect a lot on my life, the mistakes and choices I'd made, and who I was. I drove to where my wife was staying with her favorite order from Taco Bell, the blanket we'd shared for the last 6 years, and basically recited verbatim the ending monologue from this special. We're stronger than ever now.
@@Hartford1992 happy for you, although I have to ask, did you hold her head under the blanket when the taco bell came knocking out the back door again?
@@zelordofzepotatoes5274 that's the beauty about amazing puppetry. It's like a great actor taking away the character but gives you a living, breathing person. Like with randy your watching a puppet for like 5 minutes and then your looking at randy. It's amazing
This is and I think always will be my favorite Randy show. It was the first one I ever saw and still the funniest one for me. The fluidity and naturalness of the puppeteering is incredible and the way Randy's body language and voice make it seem like he has different facial expressions when he doesn't is unreal. The breathalyzer scene where he switches between a cop and a "drunk" driver is one of the best examples of it. It takes talent to be a good comedian, but being a good comedian AND a good puppeteer at the same time? Insane!
What I love is that the fact that it's a puppet show isn't just some extra quirky thing that's tacked on for uniqueness. Randy as a character is so exaggerated and toony, I can't possibly imagine a human saying the things he does.
My favorite part is Hemingway. I’ve rewatched it a ton. But at 25:59 whilst I agree; I also agree that someone in their 20s can experience quite a bit of trauma thus changing their perspective. Being older doesn’t automatically make you wiser. A lot of old heads are pretty dumb.
As someone who has trouble with committing to things, the "rack up the rejection" speech actually kind of motivated me to start doing stuff without worrying about the consequences. Thank you, puppet man.

@@pakman5542 you do realize that 1. You didn't have to come and say that, 2. "Senior phrases" are a thing outside of high-school and 3. Bud, this is RUclips. You're probably 10 minutes away of hearing something more "high-school like" as you put it.
So why are you on my replys? And why do you need to be rude to people?
Mine is “a reeeeeaaaal HUMDINGER”
The ending just hits right through my veins and leaves an untouchable wound that will last for centuries and make me think of this puppet whenever I try to find meaning in what I do in life. It's a true legacy for me Randy. Thanks for the wholesome show!
Same!
Was he ever going to read the book?
The Gumtree story is already impressive enough. But when you watch it, try to look for all the little things that make it seem real. The tiny mentions of facts that never come up again, referencing the text when Randy gets to the house, etc. Hell, he even makes assumptions about a person he’s made up to the audience, going off on a completely different joke in the process. The misdirection in this story plays off the audience itself, and it’s utterly mind blowing.
It's even crazier whenever you realize that it's a dumbed down kicked around and then exaggerated version of his Hemingway bit over a shorter period of (in-story) time
I think I understand why it feels so unsatisfying to know that wasn't real
It's because it felt real
It's not your usual made up fiction where no matter what happens we will always have the safety net of "no matter how real this may feel it isn't" (something a lot of horror writers have to work hard just so the audience doesn't realize) but in this case we jumped blindly into the story receiving flashes of light that darkened as fast as they appeared(the twists) only to be followed by even more light and a lingering feeling of brightness during the dark moments making so we craved some sort of end or a floor to hit but afterwards we learn that we were in the net all along, no matter how big those twists and turns were they didn't happen
The point of fiction is to feel real while the point that stories based on something that really happened is to not feel fictional but this hits an interesting place where it feels so real we didn't realize it was made up, I think that we like stories like this because they sound so crazy that they couldn't possibly happen but with enough details and a good enough presentation we might start to question that belief to the point where we throw the entire question out the window because it sounds dumb seeing the amount of small notes and bits that make it seem like a retelling of randy's life, and it takes us out of our usual repetitive routine into a small tale we would gush about to our friends for months whenever we had the chance
@Max Ducks I see you're a 40k fan too, good sir
My friend started screaming when Randy revealed it was fake, he genuinely felt betrayed by this grape man
I’ve watched this so many times. And the more I watch it, the Morgan story is kinda a combination of the other topics Randy talked about, This time I noticed the mention of broad meadows

I will never not be amazed by how alive he manages to make his puppet
It’s unreal, especially since it’s only one person I believe.
Yeah, it’s gotta be physically demanding on top of remembering what he’s said and reiterating it on topic as the needs arise throughout, ie mentioning Broadmeadows during the bookshelf gumtree section, after having talked about it in passing 5 mins earlier, the guy has a lot going on. Mouth movements is another….
Wait... puppet?
I'm sorry. I really am sorry.. But uh.. Thats what she said.
09:34 I had to rewatch this joke twice to fully get it and rewatched it many times again just because I forgot he can’t see the audience cuz he’s a puppet.
This is somehow the most chaotic, hysterical, infuriating and profound thing I've seen on RUclips. Randy is truly wild.
This is the way.
You know someone’s good at puppetry when you’re amazed at how good the *puppet* is at ventriloquism! I legit had to stop myself at the coffee cup bit because my brain thought the puppet was projecting its voice.
LITERALLY the 'fungi' started talking and i fully thought they were being voiced by someone offstage with a mic. it didnt occur to me right away that the puppeteer was speaking and just. not moving randy's mouth.
Yeah that bit is trippy!
That voice made me bolt upright, it was a bit freaky while my mind was working it out...too slowly.

I literally did not mean to do that 😔
The fact that Randy's expression changes throughout the show literally without ever changing is truly remarkable!
True
The magic of puppets
i always seen that but you made me notice that
Exactly. Randy Feltface shows more emotion than Twilight.
I guess it's like a drawing. If most of the elements are spot on, one missing is just filled in by the mind. His timing both kinetically and vocally are exaggerated perfection.
My favorite moment is in The Book of Randicus, where they show little short films at several points in between his standup. At one point, Randy is talking on a phone, telling his mum "No, I'm good, I'm good, just a little tired." Then when he hangs up he gets frustrated getting the handset to stay on hook, then just collapses against the phone with a sigh. IRL I am constantly on the road for work, and I said to myself, "Man, I know that feeling. Soul-weary from the road." Then I remembered it was a puppet. Just amazing Heath could make me resonate like that with a bits of foam, plastic, and felt.
Hadn't had a puppet evoke such a strong emotion since I was a kid watching Jim Henson doing "Time in a Bottle" on the Muppet Show.
When he said:
"Walking to Sky: Chapter I.
*takes a deep breath*
.....*stammers weakly*......."
I felt that.
And then just out of nowhere "I bought a bookshelf on Gumtree recently"

It is i, Garif the bookshelf guy. I have a bookshelf cave
Dude made a memorable TedTalk disguised as a comedy show for an hour straight and I am all in for it.
Loved his talk about artistic value, because it is true, most of the world's most famous artists only managed to gain worldwide recognition after their deaths and not in their lifetime, and as he said people like Ernest Hemingway was remembered for his artistic life than his personal one.
Seriously gave me Bo Burnham vibes at times. Another comedian who refuses to shy away from the ‘deep stuff’ yet somehow makes it so poignant, relatable, and funny that you find yourself not just laughing but actually *engaging* with the show. Loved every second, can’t wait to see more.
Truth. I honestly didn't know about the shit hand of life Vincent Van Gogh was given until I watched Doctor Who. I only knew about his "The Starry Night" painting and nothing much else like how he cut off his own fucking ear off.
46:25 best part. We all saw Morgan in our heads, and we loved him for it
11:45: "Rack it up, mate, you wear those scars like a fucking warrior" is such an underrated inspirational line even if it's a joke.

Really love how it swaps between Ted talk and comedy special. He still seems a bit afraid to talk about extremely deep things and I think that’s because he’s performing as a comedian and is afraid of disappointing his audience, but I really enjoyed the breaks into his deeper ideas. That book is something I’d want to get my hands on, just to see more of how he expresses his ideas.
It's too blatant and preachy and not as organic as more seasoned comics but hes gotten better at it
I think it's really good that he doesn't get too deep. He is a comedian, and there's nothing more aggravating than paying for a comedy special and just getting lectured at for an hour like some "comics" do. I think he strikes a pretty healthy balance.

I like how I began this journey completely convinced that Randy would eventually read some of his book. That it was more than just a clever framing for his comedy skit, an extraneous detail to add spice to his narrative. And then about half and hour in I realized I had been duped. Or more accurately I had duped myself into believing that he, a puppet, could in fact read, even after he made a joke out of being blind to the world.
That joke should’ve been the clue that he’d never actually read it 😂and yet we’re almost instantly pulled back into the immersion, especially after the banter with Matterectomy
@@247webgirl Mattarino 😂
Here's a fun little behind-the-scenes tidbit: Randy's puppeteer keeps a complete copy of Walking to Skye underneath the desk, so that he can quickly and believably not read any of it during the show.

I kept believing because I convinced myself there would be some trick to how he read his book.

The ending is legendary. "Fear cannot exist." That's a powerful line there, and I thank you for delivering it, Randy. Flawless performance! 👏👏👏
The most impressive thing is the puppeteer is operating both of Randy’s extremely animated and most of the time moving at the same time hands/arms with only one hand. Like idk how he even does it. He’s more expressive then some regular stand up comedians. Oh and the hoarders bit always kills me
What puppeteer? He's just a purple dude.
That's kind of racist. You think that just because he's purple he's a puppet?! Unbelievable!
I think he controls the body, head and mouth with one hand and the arms with another and he uses his fingers to move the sticks to animate the arms

I know the yarn about Morgan's bookshelf (rightly) gets most of the plaudits, but the drink-driving skit is one of the best openings to a set I've ever seen.
As a writer myself, the ending just took me the fuck out because that monologue was like seeing the face of God and he just grabbed me by the throat and beat my ass with my unwritten books, asking what I'm going to do about it.

Discovered this dude through shorts and reels, and now I'm doing a marathon of his specials. This is one of those comedians that stay in your head. I love the ones that combine comedy with bits of thoughtful and deep lessons. This is truly a lovely set.
1:07:42 that is an unfairly profound monologue to come from a puppet which rambles about bookshelves and fisting stroke victims. Very well done and very well executed
Exactly, thats what I love most about this not only is it funny but at some points he speaks truth.
i feel like its a mix of the purpose of the show, the humor of Randy, and to send a moral of the story I suppose
reminds me a tiny bit of Bo Burnham’s “if you can live your life without an audience, you should do it”
There's something fascinatingly hilarious about a guy down on his knees holding up and miming a puppet waxing poetic.
Is it alright for me to admit that I find this monologue wholesome and heartwarming yet depressing and realistic? I'm sincerely asking. I don't know why it hits hard but with what Randy said, something felt so real with those words and how they just clicked. I hope I'm not dragging with what I said and I hope for you all the best.
Redefining how comedy is done, using the stage in creative ways, fast and witty responses to the audience, and an interesting, deep and thoughtful bit at the end, as well as an excellent finale. As a certified Bo Burnham fan, I am in love with Randy.
Bo has impressive timing, Randy has impressive puppetry, both are great at what they do

The path of the writer has always been tough but I do believe that with persistance and consistance we might have a shot at making history while living. I don't know your name but I would be happy to know that you shared you story with the world.
The world needs writers, even if it doesn't realize. Good luck on your journey
I'm sorry it didn't work out for you (yet?).
Before I even started writing my first novel, I read an interview with a successful author who said that (unless you write a massive bestseller), you'll need to churn out a new one about every year to be able to make a living on it. I already knew then that this wasn't going to happen for me, which made me pursue my writing purely as a hobby while studying something completely different.
Of course, I was still very eager to get my first novel published (the first draft was shit, but I was quite happy with the umpteenth revision), and I'm currently trying to do so with the sequel after my previous publisher went out of business (not my fault 😉), but I'm quite glad that I don't have to worry about it being profitable, but rather just a way for me to let others take part in my path through the tall grass 🙂.
Of course, it would be nice if I could have some success and maybe get famous, but that's just a dream... But I will never sign a contract - no matter for how much - that would impose a deadline or any other kind of pressure on my writing. It's my hobby first and foremost, and I will not let anyone ruin it for me!
...
Just some advice to any aspiring writers, from a, frankly, still rather young and unexperienced writer 😅. Take it or leave it - I'm just gonna get on watching Randy's videos now...

"Fear Cannot Exist"
Your show saved my life and my marriage, Randy. I am eternally grateful for you.
Please share?
@@odellelottering9375 I'm not the same guy, but those words helped push me to be unafraid to leave a job where I was making good money, but was destroying my mental health and in turn, my marriage. We had just bought a house, had a beloved pet drain most of our savings and then pass away (Cancer) and I was having big issues with where I was in life. Didn't feel like I could take a step in any direction without fear of what's worse and at one point while re-watching this on the old channel for the 20th time, I asked myself what would Randy do and he'd tell my boss to shove it while throwing a mailbox through his windshield and so, I quit and a year later I'm in a less paying job with more happiness and wealth than I could have dreamed of.
@@Taekinyo Happy for you, but did you throw a mailbox through his windshield?
@@odellelottering9375 My marriage was on the rocks, hard. We separated and I spent long nights at work trying to distract myself from my personal life. I stumbled across Randy with this special and I had never laughed so hard at a comedian. When it got to the end, and how serious it became, it made me reflect a lot on my life, the mistakes and choices I'd made, and who I was. I drove to where my wife was staying with her favorite order from Taco Bell, the blanket we'd shared for the last 6 years, and basically recited verbatim the ending monologue from this special.
We're stronger than ever now.
@@Hartford1992 happy for you, although I have to ask, did you hold her head under the blanket when the taco bell came knocking out the back door again?
I love how Gareth is the one to chop his head off in the woodworking class while ALSO being the bookshelf guy later on in the special. That's growth!
18:26 Me: “Oh he’s really good at making voices without moving his mouth!! ................wait.....”
Lol I thought that too
I keep forgetting that he's a puppet
@@zelordofzepotatoes5274 that's the beauty about amazing puppetry. It's like a great actor taking away the character but gives you a living, breathing person.
Like with randy your watching a puppet for like 5 minutes and then your looking at randy. It's amazing
Puppets being ventriloquists.
I really hope that people stop watching the stolen version now that he’s posted properly.
I immediately dropped it from my playlists and replaced it with this. Now I can fall asleep to Randy's velvety smooth tones legally.
@@grandpagohan1 same
I think the pirated version of the hour long video got taken down because I haven't seen it anymore.
I need to stop procrastinating and just buy the DVD already.
I found the stolen won first and about 4 seconds in I saw the real one and immediately switched so that I would watch his one instead
Legitimately one of the most philosophically engaging comedy show I've ever watched. I've seen it over 20 times. Still watching
Same!
Always watching. Never ceasing our tireless watch. An eternity of watching.
This is and I think always will be my favorite Randy show. It was the first one I ever saw and still the funniest one for me. The fluidity and naturalness of the puppeteering is incredible and the way Randy's body language and voice make it seem like he has different facial expressions when he doesn't is unreal. The breathalyzer scene where he switches between a cop and a "drunk" driver is one of the best examples of it. It takes talent to be a good comedian, but being a good comedian AND a good puppeteer at the same time? Insane!
AND THE PLOT THICKENS is the most satisfying thing I've ever heard
Randy:ZZZZZAAAAAAAAA
Nah it’s his saying ✨karma✨
I'm a fan of the "or MAYBE, and I'm really hoping this is the case, Morgan is just BATSHIT CRAZY!" line.
"here's how this shit went down"
As a lover of puppetry I am amazed at this. This is Henson level work ON TOP of being a a better comedy special that most "Real" people.
What I love is that the fact that it's a puppet show isn't just some extra quirky thing that's tacked on for uniqueness. Randy as a character is so exaggerated and toony, I can't possibly imagine a human saying the things he does.
"I AM NOT MAKING THIS SHIT UP"
That is probably the best bits he's done (to be fair most of them are good)
My favorite part is Hemingway. I’ve rewatched it a ton. But at 25:59 whilst I agree; I also agree that someone in their 20s can experience quite a bit of trauma thus changing their perspective. Being older doesn’t automatically make you wiser. A lot of old heads are pretty dumb.
As someone who has trouble with committing to things, the "rack up the rejection" speech actually kind of motivated me to start doing stuff without worrying about the consequences. Thank you, puppet man.
Can we get an update on how life has been since?
I love how one minute Randy is the comedian you came to see and then pulls the rug to reveal that he is also the poet that's going to make you cry

Just found out about this guy and my god it was a pleasure!
I think thz reason 9:25 joke succeeded so much is because of how immersed the audience were. It was an ''oh that's right'' moment when he mimed the fact that he can't see because... he's a puppet
Just goes to show how bloody good Randy is.
Love this guy so much
