This video made me realize that I like about John is his ability to speak in a way that seems so thought out in each word and phrase only to hit you with a curveball of language that's so unique and endearing like "greeted with a blizzard of indifference" "hip dysplasia, like many dogs" idk if I'd ever be able to come up with something like that on the spot and so casually.
I teach English as a second language for Asian students. They often try to use big words to show off their vocabulary range during speaking tests, while the rest of their speech remains casual. This results in a speaking style that is really similar to John's
0:28 At the Edmonton show there was a woman in the audience doing crochet and he kept checking in on her progress throughout the show and it was hilarious 😂
Now if I ever go see him perform live, I need to remember to bring my crochet with me. (I probably won't; my back hurts too bad to sit through a long show these days.) X)
If there’s one person that doesn’t have highly publicized faults, and definitely hasn’t recorded an hour of them talking about their publicized faults, it’s John Mulaney
i knew the comments would have this, i'm pretty sure it's just post addiction sobriety, people like age rapidly and gain weight when they get sober sometimes. i think he looks kinda great though, he's still boyish just not as babyboyish
Am I the only one who thinks he looks kind of like he got some plastic surgery? He looks kind of...1980s action hero? For some reason? Not just the hair...the chin, eyebrows maybe? Idk I guess it matters not at all
My younger brother's favorite band is Steely Dan. I always think he should go watch them with John, but then I remember neither of us know this guy IRL and I can't set up play dates with men who don't even know each other, so I move on. Peg is probably my favorite Steely Dan song, but I adore Fagan's I.G.Y. Love listening to that song on repeat. :) What's your favorite Steely Dan song?
Whenever John Mulaney says “I’m gonna” he almost says it like “I’n gonna”. It’s like a different sound in between im and gonna than the rest of us. Idk if he’s noticed, but I have. Many times.
I cannot get over how much his look in this is someone who isn’t sure if it’s the 80s or the 70s, but has kinda given up (esp the hair) and has gone with what’s most comfortable in his closet. No shade, just a nod at someone’s decisions. I mean, the floppy center part over the mustard jacket
He’s an American with Irish roots, his family likely was in open conflict with the Brit’s which is why they ended up in America to begin with. If you’re still in Ireland, I guess your family didn’t fight.
That's the most annoyingly stupid comment. It takes a great deal more courage to stay where you are and fight for your cause and your country than to leave the fight behind (if indeed that was his family's reason for emigrating and not for the more likely reason of greater opportunities).
@@LewisHerd To be fair, it's also disrespectful to comment on someone's Irish heritage simply because they don't spell favorite with a "U." There are many people of Irish heritage in the U.S. who are American but also Irish.
Q: How do you write comedy? John: Sloooowly. Still faster than me! I have yet to write my first joke, and I'm 54. I'm not a funny person, so I think it might take me the rest of my life. X) Thanks for doing this! :)
Nerd fact -- Noah Webster went through the English language at the time and purged it of the unnecessary Us and other British-isms to show the new country's independence it that way too. Once of the many reasons English is such a strange and difficult language
As an Irishman I really enjoyed John's 🇮🇪 answer but we also spell it "favourite" in Ireland so it might have been an Irish person who asked 😅 still funny
He talks about superhero movies as a hypothetical saying things like "it'd be a money thing" and "apparently they pay a lot" as if he wasn't already a character in one of the best superhero movies ever.
No one asked the question that should’ve been asked, which is if he ran into the real “Mr. Mcnamara” when he returned to Ignatius with David Letterman.
first joke of his i heard was "i had that one thought that only blackout drunks and Steve urkel can have" and I've loved him ever since. great asian american representation
i'm a zoomer and i found john mulaney through dangan ronpa fan videos in like, 2013. there's a weird little niche of zooemrs who found mulaney that way i think

omg i loved blizzard of indifference, too ❄it really stood out
when he read that he went to Georgetown I was like oh, that explains a lot

“Like Pinocchio before him” 😂
@@freshavocadou9782 Lol :)
Dude is the closest we have to a live action Looney Tunes character.
And he's Spider-Ham, essentially a Looney Tunes character. 😆
Basically him and Jim Carrey, yeah.
Conan too
a skinny Foghorn Leghorn that does standup and doesn't sound southern
I think I’d argue Johnny Knoxville is the closest to a live action looney tunes character
0:28 At the Edmonton show there was a woman in the audience doing crochet and he kept checking in on her progress throughout the show and it was hilarious 😂
I love that she brought crochet. Keeping her hands busy 😂 I’d be laughing too hard to focus.
Now if I ever go see him perform live, I need to remember to bring my crochet with me. (I probably won't; my back hurts too bad to sit through a long show these days.) X)
@@parryyotter Some neurodiverse people need to keep their hands busy in order to be able to listen. No joke
The Calgary show had the exact same thing! I'm guessing she's such a big fan that she made the trip for both shows
John really came back to GQ years after his drunken interview, and boy am I here for it 100%
Not drunken. Coked out 😬
He was very very not drunk. Just geeked out of his gourd.
If you heard a spoon drop, it’s because I’m eating fruit loops !!!!
Which interview was that?
What interview was that
If there’s one person that doesn’t have highly publicized faults, and definitely hasn’t recorded an hour of them talking about their publicized faults, it’s John Mulaney
he didn't age at all for like 15 years and then aged like 10 years in the last two years.
Having kids will do that to you 🥲
Being a drug addict will do that to you.
The body can hold up under addiction sometimes as long as 30-40. And he had baby face genes.
i knew the comments would have this, i'm pretty sure it's just post addiction sobriety, people like age rapidly and gain weight when they get sober sometimes. i think he looks kinda great though, he's still boyish just not as babyboyish

"Hip dysplasia like many dogs" is GOLD
It’s the inflection that insinuates that he is part of the group, dogs.
"We didn't go out...we didn't go to places...sometimes I'd have snacks in the car." Pure Glouberman energy
I'm so glad to see him healthy and happy, truly wish him the best
Agree :)
lmao, you think you're gonna be the next Olivia 😂
“hmmm I don’t have any well-publicized faults….” SHDHGDSH
Having two little kids running around is rough. This tall child looks like he could use some rest himself. Get some rest, tall child!
He's burning the candle at both ends.
As a Gen Z, I have loved Mulaney since I was 17-18. I’m now in my early 20s. I know tons of people my age who love him
And I bet you still feel young
I'm 16 rn and love John!
I’m an older gen z (i turn 30 next year) and i’ve loved him since college so like 2016? my parents love him too, dude’s timeless
I'm a Boomer, and I love him. So there!
@@theaestheticwalrus3399 twinn :))
Glad you're healthy Baby J!! Congrats on your daughter!!
Oh, I hadn't heard they had another kid! Congrats on baby #2!! The sequel is always better (I'm a second kid). :)
The definitive and abrupt "Slowly" answer. Perfect.
I am so happy that Asian-American women are so adored. Congrats, Tiger mom !
Grandma now
For a second there, I thought you meant Olivia. Then I realized you were talking about John. X) I'm happy for them both. :)
"They found me funny in their 20s and they want to still feel young" At least he's self aware
He is, but sadly the self appointed comic critics on the internet are definitely not.
that was too real
I WANT 10 HOURS OF THIS
Wait until he hears how the Irish spell favourite.
Or Canada...
@@MrBrock314or Australia
We spell it 'is fearr'
Lobster diner card on the floor was exactly where it needed to be for it to come to fruition ✊🏼
Saw him Stockholm. Our Henry was called Vida. He was very sweet to her
Omg yes! I was trying to remember exactly what the name was when he mentioned Henry. So glad I came across your comment!
I love how he isn't even promoting anything, a show or movie ....he's just hanging out 😂
“Lobster Diner?”
“Absolutely.”
everytime i see a john mulaney video i just have to go "i freaking love this guy !!"
I used to find John Mulaney funny when I was a teenager.. Now I find him funny in my 20s.
"..the encyclopedia of incels" 😆
Why does he hate wikipedia? 😂
I discovered Mulaney in my 20s so this checks out
A GQ interview he’ll remember 😁
The best Steely Dan song is “Sign In Stranger”? Frankly John, only a fool would say that
My younger brother's favorite band is Steely Dan. I always think he should go watch them with John, but then I remember neither of us know this guy IRL and I can't set up play dates with men who don't even know each other, so I move on. Peg is probably my favorite Steely Dan song, but I adore Fagan's I.G.Y. Love listening to that song on repeat. :)
What's your favorite Steely Dan song?
In regards to answering that question, maybe he should do it again
lol ireland also uses a "u" for "favourite"
He was just joking around. :)
Canada too!
so does canada
Whenever John Mulaney says “I’m gonna” he almost says it like “I’n gonna”. It’s like a different sound in between im and gonna than the rest of us. Idk if he’s noticed, but I have. Many times.
This is common in long-life experience...
I’m Australian….we also spell it favourite 😂😂😂
Lol so do the Irish! Both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Canadians too 🙋🏼♀️
He just said it to be funny. I'm sure he's aware other countries also spell it that way. Loved that smile he got as he said it! 😂
I cannot get over how much his look in this is someone who isn’t sure if it’s the 80s or the 70s, but has kinda given up (esp the hair) and has gone with what’s most comfortable in his closet. No shade, just a nod at someone’s decisions. I mean, the floppy center part over the mustard jacket
Settle down, Mary
Comfort becomes the most important part of dressing at some point, not trying to look a particular way...I like his hair...
John was a nerd but not the comics kind of nerd which gives him points for originality
I feel like the majority of nerds aren’t actually comic book loving nerds. Maybe that’s been blown outta proportion by media or something
I discovered him in my 40s and still find him hilarious. Wishing you and your family the best.
I will always hear spider-ham
You call yourself an Irishman John but in Ireland we spell favourite with a 'U'
He’s an American with Irish roots, his family likely was in open conflict with the Brit’s which is why they ended up in America to begin with. If you’re still in Ireland, I guess your family didn’t fight.
@@robh7800 This is so wildly disrespectful to Irish people, where do I even begin

Did John get a new jaw?
Sure did
Jawn

If I saw any of these replies in my own time I’d immediately be able to tell it was written by and undercover John Mulaney
I thought he was gonna end the video with "I know less of myself now than I did at the beginning so I'm satisfied."
I dug the cheeky wink at the end 😉
lmao I think pretty much every other english speaking country that isn't America spells favourite with a U
You're the kid at the sleepover with their EpiPen
@@olihhayes😂
Probably, as America is the only one who rebelled properly and went so far as to change how we spell words to make our point. :)
@@olihhayes you're the bully who's weirdly judgy and an ah who turns out to have been molested by their uncle

We spell favourite with a "u" in Canada too 🙂
Pretty sure they also do in Ireland lmao 😂
That lobster in a diner sketch is one of the best SNL sketches of all time. I am personally offended by the individual questioning it.
"They find me funny because they found me in their 20's, and they want to still feel young."
Well that kinda hurt...I mean, he's not wrong, but dang.
This haircut singlehandedly makes him look like 20 years older.
Totally disagree. I love his hair
Without my glasses I keep seeing a poor man's Jason Bateman...
You know... Canadians also spell favourite with a "u". 🤨
And so do the Irish. 🇮🇪
👓 ⚡️
I think he wasn't aware and was making a joke in reference to Ireland vs UK.
@@Paint_The_FutureAnd the Australians and Kiwis.
And anglophiles
Always entertaining and delightful.
Best Steely Dan song is FM, Deacon Blues or Babylon Sisters
He looks like he's about to fill up your car's gas tank in the 1950s.
Not. I was there in the 1950s, and there's nothing about him that signals that era.
“apparently these [action-hero] movies pay a lot” says the guy who has, in fact, been in one before
"You switched the samples! And you doctored your research! So you could have - Provasic!"
Love this guy...such clever, witty humor.
He answered my big mouth subreddit question!!
He gets his ideas the same place every comedian does, under the Queensboro bridge.
4:06 the way i thought "oh like golden retrievers" then he said "like many dogs"
7:58---
Omg, hip dysplasia and the clothes, so me!
He's not undercover if he's being himself.
i love this guy
I saw him do the same joke with Henry in Toronto
My zoomer daughter totally adores you, so IDK, lol..
John Mulaney my baby boy I love you
As an Irishman I really enjoyed John's 🇮🇪 answer but we also spell it "favourite" in Ireland so it might have been an Irish person who asked 😅 still funny
He didn’t wanna take any chances 😂

Sometimes we have snacks in the car.... As a fellow Chicagoan that's hilarious.
That tall child is looking a lot less like a child these days?
No one asked the question that should’ve been asked, which is if he ran into the real “Mr. Mcnamara” when he returned to Ignatius with David Letterman.
I don't know why but he's such a hunk to me! I'm totally crushing on him.
in chicago, im pretty sure the kid was named pat and then he picked out an adult that coincidentally also named pat or patty or smth
“I don’t think I have any publicized weaknesses…”
Glad to see he’s gotten over his fear of 13 year olds!
Hey John, Why does GQ have so many unskippable ads?
Not a millenial, do have millennial children and imho he is the funniest comedian I've listened to. I
He’s so fine idc what anyone says
first joke of his i heard was "i had that one thought that only blackout drunks and Steve urkel can have" and I've loved him ever since. great asian american representation
i'm a zoomer and i found john mulaney through dangan ronpa fan videos in like, 2013. there's a weird little niche of zooemrs who found mulaney that way i think
sign in stranger is a great pull
Right? It's a deep cut, and it's absolutely their best song 😊 although tomorrow I might say aja lol
Irish people also spell it “favourite.” Friendly fire
To be fair, he could ask Pete (on a small scale) what the DC paychecks look like 😂
Dad puffiness 😅
1:24 why is nobody talking about the fact that Ireland also spells “favourite” like that
2:56 i am a zoomer who may be confused about other things but not about my love for john
Peter Parker been looking rough after Paul stole his girl😂
Best one yet
Hopefully that hair is for an upcoming movie or tv show. Looking like 1995 Harland Williams.
All other countries where english is the primary language spell favorite like that
But in Canada we spell favourite with a “U” too.
John Mulany forgeting that Canada exist is my *favourite* part :P
Ever since I saw him as a Monkey Judge in that SNL skit, I can't see him as anything other.
I slightly resent how handsome he looks in any stage of life, while being brilliantly funny and relatable.
i died when he stood up wearing what the comment said they thought he would be wearing
The Irish spell "favourite" with a u too. In fact, almost everyone does.
1:20 Australian erasure
Australian, Canadian, New Zealander erasure.
Happy to see John Mulaney tell us his favorite Steely Dan song, sad that he didn’t pick Haitian Divorce 😢
I think learning Spider-Ham’s origin would only confuse John further.
dogs 🤝 john mulaney 🤝 me
hip dysplasia
bro lookin like Akroyd
He looks like a pro bowler who is in John Cougar Mellencamp cover band as a hobby.
What is all this obsession with his clothes and hair??? Aren't we here for the funny?
John finally hit puberty.
And now I have to immediately watch Lobster Diner for the umpteenth time.
