Saw him once doing stand up in Denver. He was sick as a dog, poor guy, but he still put on a funny ass show. Guy is hilarious and a true professional keeping his gigs even though he was ill.
Met this wonderful guy in Las Vegas airport waiting for a flight in 2008...so many celebs disappoint and are rude, he was extremely appreciative and gracious and I was so stoked that he was so hilarious in person. He really looks stoned lol that part was so funny to see about him.
MattMan82 You mean like this; " Hi honey, how was your day?" "Well, guess what.... I got another "like" on RUclips"!!! "Good for you, honey.... you sure need the " attention" especially after having an abusive husband like me"!! " I sure do, loverboy...now, go fuck yourself"!!
Wow, this is amazing to watch. I miss interviews like this. Just nothing but fun and laughs all the way through. This was a great era in Conan's career.
@@James-if3kc Conan does that now? I haven't watched anything new from him in many years. At least a decade or more. It figures. They all jump on that bandwagon to stay relevant it seems.
@@Pierreandandre Well actually he hasn't been on tv in three years, but on one of his last shows in 2020 he spent the whole time talking to some guy about the George Floyd thing and it was super serious. Not a single bit of comedy on it.
@@James-if3kc Wow, that's lame. These talk show hosts need to stick to the more lighter side of things like it always used to be with these type of shows. Leave the serious stuff for news commentators and the more serious talk shows.

Jim was a regular on SNL for years. Goat Boy was his big character, not one that translates to movies, so he never got a character movie off SNL. Starred in the weed movie Half-Baked w Dave Chappelle in the late 90s.
his Joe Pesci Show and Goat Boy is so classic, I always think he looks like a character from some of the mid 90s crazy cartoons , it is a shame that he didn't show up at the SNL 40th
Jim Breuer was sadly known as a 2 trick pony. His pesci is the best in the business. But pesci has been retired as an actor for years and did Irishman and that's it. His goat boy is funny too, or his drunk guy/stoned character. But that's it. If you actually follow his early stand up career he's very funny. He got popular by having a guest spot with Dave chappelle on the show home improvement with Tim Allen. So much so that ppl would write to the networks they wanted to see more of these guys. We now know they cut Jim from the show and it was a failed show called "buddies" with a 19-20 year old Dave chappelle.
Jim is such a natural. Some people just have the gift of being able to make you laugh. And according to Jim his dad would have everyone in stitches at family gatherings.
@@nhjt6507 These talk show appearances are neither scripted nor rehearsed, no. You on't know what you're talking about. There is pre-interview stuff so they have an idea of what they'll talk about, bits that will be done, etc. But that is not scripted or rehearsed.
Funny was when the real Joe Pesci and the real Robert de Niro showed up on The Joe Pesci Show! You can find the clip on the Dailymotion site not on the RUclips unfortunately...
Jim Breuer is a part of my wife's family. Had the pleasure of meeting him years ago and he told me about how he couldn't see the cue cards because of the dark contact lenses so he ad libbed the Pesci lines in the SNL skit.
Great seeing these old clips in such high quality
Using actual tape was always HD.. even 100 years ago..
Did you think it was footage from 1912 !? Haha 🤣 jk

He was just perfect for Half Baked
Really? I think he ruined that movie. All I ever got from him was douche chills. Never heard him do anything funny.
He wanted to cuss so bad during that Pesci impersonation. Dammit
Even if i could do a joe pesci impression, I just couldn't do it without cursing because its the only way he talks in the movies.
Lol
I was thinking the exact same thing!
You felt that too!!!
Exactly 😂

Greatest skit in SNL history!! Sorry I just saw this post now

Sick of what..?? Coughing??
@@humbertoflores2545 didn't say but his voice was hoarse and sounded like he had a cold or flu.
I didn't even know he was sick.
Working while you're ill is not a 'true professional' thing. It's fine if you wanna do it, but it doesn't make you more professional.
Nah, he's normally like that.
3:04 if you wanna skip to the impression. 5/7
thank you
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you
Perfect score?

The best impression of joe pesci... Awesome! And I will always love conan shows from way back when to now
I clicked to hear the Joe Pesci impression, and they suprise us with a bonus Goat Story origins, right on!
His impression of the lead singer for A/C- D/C,BRIAN JOHNSON is the funniest thing that I have ever seen!
Totally !!
Jim is awesome, can't get enough of his comedy...
Jim as in Carey gene lol
Ya, he's awesome, a true talent
🇺🇸✝️👍🏻✝️
Jim Brewer is a true entertainer. I laugh for hours listening to his impressions 🤣🤘🤘
His AC/DC is great, much less his Metallica
@@harpoon_bakery162 His Joe pesci impression in the snl is hilarious af

"You don't sound like me!"
Now that's genius ... and the ultimate brag if you think about it.
Visiting cousins in Mass some 20 years ago and they say "weah takin' you to see Brewah in Bohstun" One of the best nights of my life, he was great.
Loved when Pesci and DeNiro should up on set during the "Pesci Show" sketch.
Yes it was on that episode Rob Lowe hosted. Is it anywhere on RUclips? I can't find it
You can find that skid on the Dailymotion site! Ultra funny stuff!
I’m just realizing now that Jim is one of the most elite, naturally gifted comedians. It’s effortless for him.
He opened the new Stress Factory in Bridgeport like 2 years ago or so. Start to stop couldn’t stop laughing. He is awesome.
Ummmmm no
He did two impressions. One was of an animal.
@@thirdlionproducer4392 ruclips.net/video/V_4NbyaDjk0/видео.html
Yea he’s alright.. he’s no Norm

I’ve never heard of this guy, his impressions are pretty good. I love his Pesci and Lorne Michaels. 😂
"I've never heard of this guy"....that's the story of Jim Breuer's career.
Soo good live👍
Watch half baked.....

He probably one of the worst cast members ever. Goat boy wasnt that funny lol
@@thirdlionproducer4392 I know what you mean, I saw some of his talkshow, kind lame, but as a snl cast, at least he has two memorable characters

His pizza man story on Opie & Anthony is mandatory listening.
When this aired i was 2 years old. I could have understood the goat boy perfectly back then.
3:59 I died during this bit 😂😂😂
"Where do you come up with your ideas?" is Norm MacDonald's favorite terrible question
Reminds me of that tragedy
@@chantellew7918 ah you must be referring to that jerk Albert Fish!!
@@amonrodriguez3518 now don’t laugh at this next part
Conan after Norm died: “I didn’t even know he was sick” always fell right into Norm’s bits
I've just been chomping at the bits to ask you this
I wish SNL would post more of his skits, especially the goat boy interview with the "other guy from Wham'" Andrew Ridgeley.
His Brian Johnson AC⚡DC impression doing the Hokey Pokey is Spot on!
Jim is a legend. AC/DC Hokey Pokey!
He has so much natural talent that he can effortlessly be hilarious.
Breuer was hysterical oncSNL, miss him.
Jim's Great
Turns out he’s one of the smartest people out there.
Greatest stand up comedian ever. Notnone interview where he doesn’t talk about his dad. He loved his parents. Good guy.
Jim is such a natural. Some people just have the gift of being able to make you laugh. And according to Jim his dad would have everyone in stitches at family gatherings.
Dude is so underrated
2:35 that sounded like he read it 🤣
Love these old clips! Conan’s some of the inspiration for my own show and I’m just a kid.
That's awesome, best to start young, by time you're of age you'll be naturally gifted at is. That is assuming you're still keeping it going.
What ever happened to Jim Breuer? I loved Goat Boy!
He tours doing stand-up.
He tours and does comedy specials. I just saw him a few nights ago and he was spectacular.
he's maga moron
His story about his dad meeting Sylvester Stallone is hilarious too.
Like a moose ?😅
Elks club😂
@@joshuacowan3598 Yep! ruclips.net/video/FrpgPQAZlUE/видео.html
Jim was a good looking guy when he was younger. He reminds me of Matthew Perry haha
Conan is so good! He always brings out the best in every guest
Especially Burr lol
It's literally all scripted and rehearsed
@@nhjt6507 No, it's not. They give the guest some questions beforehand and then they let it ride.
Check out Graham Norton apparently Americans completely love him and his show.Totally the way it should be.

probably one of Jim's best interviews, good stuff
the flow of all these shows were so good because no one was afraid to offend anyone
If he can impersonate Tom Hanks, the face he makes when he impersonates his dad while talking Tom, Woody, Forrest Gump would be mind boggling!!!!!
Love Jim!!!
If there was a Movie about this guy Jim Carrey would be great.
That SNL jacket is really cool
Still makes me laugh seeing him in that pizza commercial where he pushes the guy in the pool and runs away
His Dad was the same way I'd be. Great job Dad!!
Best Pesci impression ever! Him playing Pesci and Alec Baldwin playing DeNiro was comedy Gold
Jim is comedy Gold. So talented and creative. God Bless Long Isl a nd.
Top shelf talent, all around good guy.
Just listening to Jim Breuer on the Joe Rogan Podcast, SNL was bloody brutal back in the day.
Breuer and Cumia together, the best impressions.
The Joe Pesci show when Alec Baldwin played Robert De Niro was legendary 👍
Wow I just "discovered" Jim Breuer today. What a funny guy
"What do you mean funny? How am I funny?"
Is your name Jim Breuer? Not only are you not funny, you can't read. LOL@@surf101-
Jim Breuer is AWESOME!!! Best Joe Pesci ever!!!
He’s a awesome impersonator
90s the decade of good dressing styles and coca cola
I have tears from laughing 😅
He’s so underrated!!!
Took Conan 15 seconds into the appearance to ask “where do you get your ideas from?”
I came here expecting a Joe Pesci impression, but all I saw was a taller, more handsome Joe Pesci wearing a bomber jacket.
10/10 impression skillz
More handsome ? You’re lucky joe hasn’t read your comment
@@jasonrosman2379 I know. There's a reason George Carlin prays to Joe Pesci and not god.
From 1997. Jesus, thanks for the blast from the past guys.
Bill Hicks invented GOAT BOY.....
He also does the best Dave Chappelle impression I've ever heard because he and Dave were roommates at one point.
I still laugh every time i just think about goat boy 😅
He keeps the comedy rolling, naturally..!! 👍👍👍😁
Go get your shinebox!
I love Jim's stories of his father haha
Did you hear what he said if he got famous? He would buy leather pants and a kangaroo. Limo pulls up. Come on hoppy.. and it starts front kicking kids
Two of my most favorites ...... What a treat.
His Brian Johnson Hokey Pokey impression is my favorite
Awww sweet 90s Debi Mazar there next to Jim. I wouldn't have been able to focus on talking with Conan. xD
3:04 - 3:34 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I saw Jim 3 times. So funny
Jim Breuer is the GOAT.
Men who stand with goats…with a couple of cocktails 🍹😂🤣 I am in love🥰♥️♥️♥️♥️🤣
You’re dad knew exactly what he was doing 😉😂🤣
Mug club is ready for Jim
The goat bit was the best part of this by far.
The pesci goat 😂😂😂
Spot on!
3:09-3:12 This delivery gets me every time 😂
Funny was when the real Joe Pesci and the real Robert de Niro showed up on The Joe Pesci Show! You can find the clip on the Dailymotion site not on the RUclips unfortunately...
"And who are you supposed to be ?" !!
Colin Quinn..... remote control (?)
Fashion wise this is bang on with today
The late 90's, huh, a simpler time...
He without a doubt is the GOAT
Jim is the goat. Love him. Celebrity truth teller too !❤

Breuer, Rob Low and the... Spice Girls. A looooong time ago!
Love Conan!!!
3:43 "Yeaaah!" foreshadowing
This was freaking hilarious! LOL
I like how Conan combined the names of two cities in Shandong Province (Tsingtao and Yantai) just to make a China reference
You either got Goat Boy or you didn't - I still find it one of the funniest characters in SNL history
Debi Mazar is on this guest panel at 3:56 . She'd know about Joe Pesci because she was in Goodfellas with Pesci
He’s the best!
haha his joe pesci is too much hahaha
Conan is trying to compete with his guest instead of letting him just star in the spotlight!
I definitely believed he got that call from Pesci because that sounded like things Pesci would say.
Man didn't realize how shy Jim Bruer was then.
