Yeah the issue wasn't the validity of the statement. It would be less jarring coming out of the mouth of an adult. But a 6 year old shouldn't be having such profound thoughts.
I like the throw away line "on wednesdays a guy with a dress comes in and tries to fight everybody" lol Like the joke wasn't the guy in the dress- that was just how you recognized who to take cover from.
yeah i liked that joke too! sort of subverts expectations on what you think the joke will be while still being funny, what it actually was is better, anyway.
"Naps don't help when your soul is tired" That is the most adult thing I have ever heard... the fact it came out of a child in a class who was supposed to be napping... If I had been the teacher I don't know if I woulda holla'd "PREACH" been in such agreement and shock that I just walk away wordlessly, or burst into a puddle of tears right there... Jesus...
@PrinceJoshTheGreat yeah, but kids be saying wild shit though. Even if it's a made-up story, spend some time atound kids, and you will hear some wild shit.
@@PrinceJoshTheGreatyou'd be surprised. I used to work in a preschool and the things those kids said were really shocking, both good and bad. Naptimes also did have a weird effect on kids, you could tell who had problems at home by the kid's sleeping patterns. There was one kid who clearly came from a rough home and would not only never sleep, he wouldn't let other kids sleep and would get eerily angry, we often had to remove him to let the other kids sleep because he would just get up and forcefully wake them up. He eventually got kicked out for hitting another kid in the face with a brick. He said some really scary stuff with a totally deadpan look on his face that would give you chills. I still wonder about him, 15 years or so later, I can't imagine he had an easy life. His mom definitely had issues and always seemed distracted, on the phone, would drag him by his arm without paying attention to him, he often had wrinkled, dirty clothes. Other kids knocked right out with smiles on their faces every day. You can tell what kids are prone to anxiety, deep thought, superficiality, etc., their personalities are there. He could have made this up, sure, but after the things I've seen and heard it wouldn't surprise me if it were real.
I'm a black girl and Barbie had me militant as hell afterwards😂 especially Gloria's monologue I was in tears and furious for like 10 consecutive business days💀 So Caitlyn here doesn't think we're stupid, I didn't share all the details of what happened after because, who cares? It's a comedic comment.
Why did I laugh at "So I was constantly in danger"? That wry delivery is just so damn funny, but I don't want this man in danger, Josh Johnson is a national treasure!
That conversation with the security guard was the most real shit ever. As a former grocery store employee (not even in a bad neighborhood) that is exactly how we would have handled that situation.
@alicemakarevich6762 in a typical neighborhood you would call the police. I worked at a grocery store too, the police were called a few times and they were always there pretty quick. But I imagine it's much different when it's an everyday thing. You're not going to call the cops every day to come usher the weirdos out of your store. Especially if you have hired "security" on site. We also had hired security from a third party at our store, and they were laughably incompetent, but grossly underpaid so I never blamed them too much. I'm wondering if he worked at the same store. Menards is huge in Chicago too. But most stores operate basically the same way so probs not
I am loving all the new content being released on the regular. As I live overseas, this is the closest I get to seeing Josh live and in person. Great job, dude!
Josh is just so pretty. His skin and smile and those delicate hands. He's so funny while never being mean spirited. A kind of comedy angel. And yes, I know that sounds like some weird hyperbole.
Wish I could relate, but even being nearly homeless as an adult does not compare to the intense soul-crushing stress of my childhood. Adulting is the best thing ever and nobody can change my mind.
Hi, I don't know your situation, but I hope this helps: There's a behavioral psychologist on RUclips named Patrick Teahan. His videos are hard to watch and the work is hard. To be honest, I can only do it once a month. But MAN, is he effective! I'm slowly healing, and being my own parent. There's also a neuroscientist who has a channel called Therapy in a nutshell. Those 2, comedy and kindness are very powerful. So glad we're not children anymore. I wish you well.
I agree! Wow I never hear anyone else say this but you couldn't pay me to go back to my childhood. It was the most unsafe I've ever felt. Ran away at 17 and even living in a boarding house and working at a pizzeria for $1 an hour was better because I was in control of my own life. I worry about people who wish they could return to childhood, the more I get my life in order, the better it gets, I love that. ❤
Can I tell you how I felt "Naps don't help when your soul is tired" all up and through my spirit! My soul is so tired. Thank you for putting words to what I was feeling. #comedyistherapy
Bro is just dropping bombshell after bombshell. I've never seen a comedian hone themselves and their craft this quickly. Bound for greatness if he keeps this up.
This is the third clip I’ve seen from Josh. Somebody out there in entertainment land needs to give Josh a lot more exposure. This is really rich and insightful storytelling. Good work, Josh!
I don't think the pigeon story is crazy. In Finland is where I first noticed birds are militarized. They have a captain, 2nd in command and squadrons. The commander calls out to the squadrons when to go after people with food. They are highly organized!
You're a Montessori baby!! Why haven't I seen more material on Montessori v traditional schooling from you??! I have a boatload, and I'm not even doing stand up! 😂😅
Josh usually makes me laugh so much I replay his sets. Like I'm still replaying his Craigslist jokes and laughing, and that was years ago. That last bit was so funny it's going to replay.
Montessori school. Nap time. Trips to discovery zone when the teacher was sleepy. Being the first kid there every Monday morning and having to go to the pet store with the principal to pick the Guinea pig who most resembled the one who tried to swim in the toilet over the weekend (side note: Guinea pigs can’t swim). Good times!
Totally brought back memories of "nap time" I didnt know what that was at first and totally recall that was the most scariest time of the day. You never knew what the other kids might do
Damn, I think me and Josh might be the same person. I also graduated with a design degree and I'm currently working as a manager at grocery store with some weird ass regulars, in the Chicagoland area.
Josh you're doing an excellent job. I saw you on way up and started following your RUclips. I follow you on FB and IG for a while. I love your laid back, easy going delivery. Don't rebrand too much, I almost fainted when you used the n word 😆 💕
I just love Josh Johnson! I love everything about his set! His delivery, the casualness of his voice, i live his look, he’s got IT! I expect HUGE things out of him!
"Naps don't help when your soul is tired" is 100% accurate though lol😅
Earliest sign that you have depression as a child is people saying “you have an old soul”.
@@ScamLikely9327yeah, I hadn't thought of it that way, but this is super accurate. Lol
@@ScamLikely9327not really. I’ve been told this bc I like a lot of old school music but personally I just think the music was better back then.
Yeah the issue wasn't the validity of the statement.
It would be less jarring coming out of the mouth of an adult.
But a 6 year old shouldn't be having such profound thoughts.
That made a single tear fall. Lol
I feel like I’ve seen a lot of comedians take their entire careers to get to this level of casual fluency on stage. This man is such a pro.
.
I just praised him TODAY for his delivery...I'm Jumpy!.............. You can call me Jumpy.
@@markfoster1520Okay... Jumpy.
@@MalcontentFlower Heheh...I meant, no one would understand my speaking so fast...
I agree, I think I can see some Chappell influence in his comedy. What do you guys think?
"Naps don't help when your soul is tired" DAMN. I'm over 50 and that shit hit me hard.
Same here. 😩
😂😂😂😂
Actually, when you're over 60, they do help. Sometimes they're the only thing that helps.
I know right❤
My new 50-year old mantra❤
My Montessori daughter cried out “my heart hurts” while walking home in a light rain at age four or five. Flair for melodrama
Old soul
"Naps don't help when your soul is tired" That's a reincarnated ancestor in a 6 yr olds body right there 🤣
I said the same thing, "oh, he been here b4." 😁🤩
Or a child growing up in an abusive dysfunctional environment…
"Malcolm X for white women!"
Usher for pigeons!
@@caitlynlivingston7272It's better!
I hope he does a follow up on the Barbie bit after he sees it. his insights are soo good.
💯👌🏼✨👀
Same!
Same I was so sad he moved on so fast
Montessori teacher here! I definitely would’ve pegged you as a Montessori kid 😅😅😅 All of you are so bright and have old souls 😂
Don’t forget tired ones 😂😂
@@douglasrugambwa3172 🤣🤣😭
Holy cringe
❤
We are a different breed. Idk why Montessori school curriculum wasn't adopted for public schools. It's so much better for kids.
I like the throw away line "on wednesdays a guy with a dress comes in and tries to fight everybody" lol Like the joke wasn't the guy in the dress- that was just how you recognized who to take cover from.

Wait a minute🤔 business days aren't consecutive!

It's like having Home Depot open 24/7, between 1:00 to 6:00am, junkies crackhead and dog walker roamed the store.
International treasure.
😂naps don't help when your soul is tired I can feel that kid
Josh is a natural. I am 71 years young and I’ve seen comedians come and I’ve seen comedians go and Josh is here to stay! Thank you for the laughs!😅

Josh Johnson is my favorite comedian. Love his observations of life and his ability to make people laugh and reflect at the same time. Bravo!
The speed at which this guy is making new hilarious stand up material is insane.
Josh is just so pretty. His skin and smile and those delicate hands. He's so funny while never being mean spirited. A kind of comedy angel.
And yes, I know that sounds like some weird hyperbole.
If he is anything like my husband his girls will be fire!! He is pretty, too...but geez dont tell him😅
I think the same thing each time I watch a clip!!!
No one that adorable should be so smart and funny. Just isn't fair
Totally agree 🌹
.. exquisite hands.. beautiful soul..
Josh Johnson is fantastic
definitely one of the best comics working the circuit right now.
I agree 💯
babe, watching these with a fresh eye is just 1400% times more enjoyable. love you JJ

“Naps don’t help when your soul is tired” at 3:05
Josh is so funny and has a beautiful smile!
Always look forward to what he talks about next. He has such a unique perspective that's always hilarious and insightful.
Agreed!!!💯
Reminds me a lot of Donald glover
Usher for pigeons did not get the reaction it deserved 😂😂😂😂😂
I think the cut the video right after that joke so they probably did I’m assuming
💯
That was my second favorite line after
the nap one
I was screaming. I had such a vivid image in my head after that
That bit made me lose it. 😂❤🎉
It didn’t but it was hilarious to me. 😂😂😂😂😂
Josh is my favorite. I love when he makes himself laugh.
*"Naps don't help when your soul is tired"* I feel this so much

Tuesday night The daily show (Possible replacement for Roy Wood Jr and Jessica Williams)
@@stevereber3358 That's great news. I think he'd be great on there.
It's kind of refreshing to be excited for a new video on a channel. Like, I have a lot of subs, but I'm always stoked to get Josh's take.
My favorite comedian!!!!standing 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 every f-ing time👏👏👏👏👏👏
The SIMPLICITY of your work is PROFOUND. My woman adores you!
"I was constantly in danger" is the best way to describe my hometown 😂 Its so true

Bruh, you need to write a movie script. You set that whole joke up beautifully!
the way he keeps coming up with so much material is so impressive
The most gifted comedian I’ve seen in a long time.
I manage retail in a not great area by Detroit. The crazies are DEFINITELY part of the new hire's training😂
He's so effortlessly funny without being over the top.

Josh Johnson is the best comedian - he has a podcast too so now I can get a JJ fix on Apple and on YT❤
The part with the security guard😅😅
I love his smile! I watch just to see his face light up.
It's amazing how much depth a seemingly light-hearted film can have
Josh is definitely one of the best out there
We need post Barbie review!
