Comedians are the court jesters of our day and age. Court jesters were the people that could make fun of the king and the ideology of the day. They can criticize anything if they make it funny.

For anyone who may not know, Josh IS a writer. A rather well tenured one. I believe he started in one of those like 30 Rock shows, then SNL, and other people. Daily Show. All the shit you like.
That generator shit is REAL. I live off-grid and my solar system needs repairs, so I'm living off a generator atm. Lights? What lights? The sun is all the light we got. No gas? Cool, we're gonna keep the fridge closed, fill jugs with water, and take sponge baths. Hahahaha
coming from Jamaica bro lmaoo soon as one drop of rain falls on the window we already had the lamps and dominoes out ready for JPS to cut the lights off lmaoo
Nah my mom tried "pick a switch" about four times, and got tired of having to call the police to find me cuz once I hit the door I was gone bro. Fuck that. Im not about to be a victim in my own house.
I feel like that’s a bit extreme. To be fair it may just be a difference in culture and generation, but my brother and I were raised that same way and yes in the moment as a child we felt that it was horrible, but as an adult I feel that it worked as a solid discipline for us cuz we didn’t repeat the thing that got us whipped again and learned from it. Granted my parents always gave a choice of being punished from basketball or games or picking a switch, and I always chose the switch cuz one would be over in a few minutes while the other would last a few days to a week lol
Josh makes me laugh so hard. He paints such VIVID word pictures that you can see exactly what is happening. I am subscribed to his channel and he is amazing. 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
The fact people didn’t and still don’t understand what a “black” job is to me at least is astonishing.The demographic of jobs that most black folk have or go into is what is considered a black job very simple.
Then tell me. ‘Cause every time I see black people working places (fast food places. . . ) I ALSO see Hispanics, Whites and Asians. So how can they be “Black” jobs? Now if a McDonalds is in an area that has a population of 95% Blacks, then yeah- there’ll be Black employees. That still doesn’t make them “ Black” jobs.
@@Vincisomething there is a thing called statistics 📊 and all races have a variety of jobs that they typically go for. Now when you put a bunch of people in a place where they are not legally allowed to be ( take Chicago for example ) and then they take the jobs that were going to go to the black population in the area then they are taking “Black Jobs” is that good enough?
Man, this guy really reminds me of Donald glover. His delivery, mannerisms, the way he tells a story but it just happens to be funny af. This guy is hilarious and will definitely have a great career.
If I ever see Josh, he's getting his roses. I don't think DT was the one with the head start, psychologically. Technically, they've always been campaigning as well, by influencing the public against him. That is the whole campaign. lol
My man, if you didn't see the clips from the National Black Journalist interview with Trump, go check it out. They had journalists from all different networks CNN + Fox and all. It did not go well. Like 1 minute in its cringe AF. Check it out and these jokes hit even harder.
You keep seeing all these other comedians saying "you need to hone your standup routine over many shows for months before it's any good," and meanwhile Josh Johnson is like "so here's what happened last week..."
17:00 thats what growing as a society is, even if people bitch about it, we learn from the mistakes of our past generations, realize where they stumbled and where THEIR parents taught them bad shit. Criticizing and correcting behavior for the sake of future generations is the name of the game.
16:40 I will never forget the moment my best friend’s mom told me to grab a switch (I am white bff is black). I was stunned and confused. My friend looked at me like I was a traitor but my mom said her mom could treat me as she treated her kids, so I was scared. I grabbed a branch. She said “no, one of the skinny ones.” Then she swished through the air with whip sounds 😂 my poor girl, all because we cut a Barbie’s hair
Dude right?! I just found out about JJ a couple months ago and kind of went on a journey through his comedy bits. He is topical and has a fun and different delivery style. He's dope. I was surprised to see him on the Daily Show too. Like I slept on this guy for way too long or something.
lol My first time seeing anything with Josh Johnson,, wont be my last. My dad was a traveling lamp salesman and had shade sticks which were sticks that held stacks of lamp shades. 1/2inch in diameter, bendy, and those things left welps on my calves many a day...picking a switch was actually a delight.
Josh has been writing for the daily show for a while, but they recently made him a regular correspondent. He puts out a new 30 minutes like every 2 weeks now.
16:57 Korean mom, black (mostly Nigerian, but a mix of other western African countries) dad. We didn't choose, they just told us to get it lol. We mostly had the wooden spoon and metal shoe horn
I remember the first (and only) time Grandma had me go pick a switch when I came to visit. I had never been spanked with one, so in my mind I was like "imma pick the thinnest one so it hurts less." Wrong. Worked though. That sucked so bad I NEVER got in trouble at Grandma's again! 😂
I didn’t see him say it but wouldn’t black jobs in that context just mean taking black people jobs which is a real concern imigrants taking Americans jobs that is
If someone made you wait 30 mins just to corner you and they can’t even get the equipment right for *two* *people* on stage then they deserved to get called out. You wasted everybody’s time especially the audience just to mess up mics for *two* *people.*
Don’t worry the government everywhere is screwed… nazis and fascists are back in Europe….for some reason 😒😒 You should watch his stand up on Jonathan Majors it’s one of my favs I’ve watched it soooo many times.
Exactly, I don't like trump and I don't think he should be president (better option than Kamala) but the amount of people voting for Kamala simply bc hes black is actually scary to me
I find it interesting the heat that Trump got for saying black jobs. I thought it was implied that he was saying jobs that were once filled with black employees are essentially being outsourced by an unregulated labor force, not saying that those jobs are dedicated for black citizens. I think he was attempting at speaking at the working class but tailored his wording to the audience which was predominantly black. Whether or not you agree or there is significant data to back it, illegal immigrants are not taking white collar corporate jobs. They *would* be taking blue collar jobs that typically hire based on physical willingness and work hour flexibility. TLDR, he’s saying that immigrants would be taking jobs US citizens lean on, in the working class, because the lower entry barrier that isn’t stacked with needing a degree/student loans/internships to build toward an income. And yes it would be affecting black workers as well as any worker that expects better pay and benefits while an immigrant is just banking on getting some type of paycheck. Any company that is leveraging cheaper labor instead of paying citizens adequately for sustainable living should be vilified. We are Americans first, and have a lot to do to ensure common Americans can have a decent livelihood. It’s impossible to guarantee the livelihood of immigrants (legal or not) when born citizens are already suffering from inflation, super competitive job market, and outdated wage system that does not account for the new averages of rent/mortgage rates.
Unfortunately with all the intelligence we have, most of the population has things go over their heads like drax from guardians of the galaxy 😂 so most don't have the ability to think further than 8 second tiktks
@@kurtkish6970 then you avoided my point. It was likely said “black jobs” because he was at a convention that represented African Americans. There are thousands of black employees in white-collar roles and even stakeholders of companies in the Fortune 500. This was clearly intended as an appeal to the lower and middle class. Which many black Americans are apart of. We could dissect many reasons why and directly point it to the Democrat party throughout the 1900s or we could just admit that an influx of cheap labor is not a good thing for those that rely on low-entry requirement jobs. They are literally the backbone of the country regardless of skin color and should not be dependent on uncontrolled immigration. I’m not saying that we shouldn’t allow immigration either, but the border crisis is absurdly uncontrolled and largely misunderstood. It goes beyond politics and Mexico takes very little responsibility due to cartels assassinating over 100 candidates that want to regulate the country to the point that would encourage people stay. But because people want to leave because of corruption and poverty, and also cartels want to drive drug and human trafficking through North America (not just USA). The change to immigration won’t happen unless the U.S. doubles down on border security. The fentanyl crisis is largely attributed to cartels and their efficient drug trafficking (and our pharmaceutical industry leading patients to opiate dependency but that’s a whole other conversation). But a crime syndicate/conglomerate that literally involves US and Mexico citizens would be hard to dismantle even with border control. So at the end of the day, let’s just help get our lower and middle class Americans some job security and more purchasing power. Unfortunately I don’t see either candidate making the changes necessary to do that as it goes beyond the executive branch.
My favorite thing Pete B. Said, was there is no point in having a conversation with someone that agrees with everything you agree with. There would be no progress at all.
No it won't.. if he's smart and doesn't vote simply based off skintone., Project 2025, isn't even backed by trump.. thats a little important. Harris out here playing you all..
Is that the best you can say? Everyone besides brainwashed Dems know Trump already denounced project 25… just look at Kamala’s track record, jails non violent offenders like weed smokers while freeing actual criminals that committed violent crimes not only in this country but in others as-well. When confronted about her decisions that ruined families all she did was laugh and play it off. *She* *doesn’t* *care* *if* *ppl* *get* *murdered* *cause* *of* *her* *decisions.*
Fun fact: Josh Johnson contributes regularly on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. So yeah he is very much a writer.
Not quite the best show to be on, to be honest.

I’m calling it - Josh Johnson is going to be a 🐐 of comedy, among the ranks of Carlin, Pryor, Seinfeld, and Chappelle.
I agree, there’s just something different about him. And it’s so cool watching him hone his craft with these weekly clips.
