It makes me so sad that he is no longer with us. John was tremendously talented, and continues to make me laugh. My world is a better place because of his humor.
Came to say the same thing and ya beat me to it. 🙏❤️ John is a 'one of a kind' comedian for me. Absolutely hilarious. He has, and still does, help keep me going in this world. His work has always brought me happiness. Endless laughs. Will forever miss this great man. We love you, John Pinette!
He often swears, that's okay. Why do sexual jokes repulse you? Sex is fertile ground for humor. I'm gonna guess that because of his size his sex life may have been non average. Perhaps that's why he didn't make too many, or any, jokes on that subject. He is an exceptionally talented comedian. What makes jokes great is insight, intelligence, unexpected twist, novel viewpoint, making listeners see something from an others point of view. He does it all.
My favorite comedian. I met him in person twice. Nicest guy in the world. Hilarious as the schlock movie producer in the movie, Reckless Kelly. RIP friend. You are sorely missed. I will repair a toaster in your honor.
I never get tired of listening to John Pinette. Sadly I never got the chance to see him live on stage. Just a few short days after I'd watched one of his videos I heard that he had passed away. R.I.P. John. You are greatly missed sir. 😢
I don’t know if johns family will see this, but I am going through a very hard time right now. I had the luck of seeing John before he left us, and it was a wonder Night. That’s why I’ve been watching him the past two days, and it’s been my only pleasure. John is always going to be missed, and I’m so glad I can watch him here to get me through this hard time. Thank you forever.
Bee Free - I don’t find a lot of swearing in his material. I know know there is some, but mainly hell and other minor swear words. I was shocked when I heard him say the f and the b word. I feel that John swears less than most comedians and find his humour very tame.
We were fortunate enough to see John perform a couple of times at the Improv in Irvine. There was a Cheesecake Factory restaurant in the mall where the Improv is located. He was dieting but he bought cheesecake for the entire audience. He was a dear, generous, funny man. We miss him so much. Rest in Peace, dearest John. 💝💥
My wife and I watch John Pinette's shows regularly on RUclips and always love them. He was SO talented, as a comedian and singer; and so likable. And all without vulgarity or ever using cruel comedy (he was always respectful of others). We were devastated to hear that he had passed away. In my mind, he must be counted among the greatest comedians of all time.
I have to agree! His talent was just beyond. The singing, broadway theater skills, and multi-languages were used with perfect effect. This big man was simply adorable. I get the feeling of real kindness from him too in the way he made eye contact and smiled with the audience. When I grow up....
Sheer Genius! What a tremendous talent. If I’m having a bad day I just watch John Pinette routine and in thirty seconds my mood transforms. RIP John, we miss you so....
Had front row seats to his headliner show on a royal Caribbean cruise. Me my wife and kids laughed so hard we were coughing and crying. And I actually got to see him in the cruise ship buffet line! LOL
His delivery is SO good. The facial expressions, the yelling, his timing - truly a great comedian. I feel honored to have seen him when he opened for Frank Sinatra at the Greek Theatre in L.A. in 1991. He said later that it was that job - opening for Sinatra on his tour of that year, part of Sinatra's Diamond Tour - that put him on the map. That was a nice little bonus. And Sinatra was good too!
I used to see him every time he was in NY. I got his autograph on his CD.he used to be oit in the lobby before his shows talking with everyone. He was a VERY personable guy. Adter one if his shows we hung out by the bar and talked for 45 min, just him and I. He used to be an accountant! He must of had the office in stiches. He would study the areas he was going to perform at to learn about local customs, food places etc. to include in his act. He always said he wanted his routine to be family friendly. He found humor in everyday life. John, thank you for choosing the right career and sharing it with us. RIP my friend.
Thank You for sharing that nice encounter with John. I watch him on You Tube all the time and still laugh. I miss him and his sense of humor. He was one of the greats!
ah damn I miss him ... it takes heart and talent to be funny without trying to shock or push the limits of decency ... i wish there was more of his material online
What's getting me is I'm seeing all these posts that were put up FIVE years ago and it's hard to believe he's been gone that long!!!I sincerely haven't been able to watch his videos until just THIS WEEK,! And I didn't realize that I had waited THAT long to see him again. And his comedy is as fresh and funny as it was the first time I heard it.
I remember reading an interview Mr. Pinette did where he talked about his visits to Canada and he was very kind and complimentary about us. He said he had never been treated so well and never met so many nice and kind people, he was especially impressed with the East and Quebec. You can easily see the affection the audience has for him and vice versa in this performance in Montreal.
Sometimes you have to leave home to do what you want to do and love to do. Just like The Beatles who had to go to Germany for people to realize how good they were. We in Canada thank John Pinette for coming here to share his humor with us on Just for Laughs. We in Canada miss you and will never forget you.....RIP Big Boy!
Lucky Barber ,Miss him he was a very awesome and wonderful LMAO will be missed, too early for him to pass on,very happy to have meet him.will be missed one Love Amen
Wonderful, hilarious and huge heart-gone, way, too soon! Had the pleasure of meeting him about ten years ago and he expressed to me his "uncomfortable" feeling of the public. Loved him, even more. Thank you for the countless laughter you provided, John. You are sorely missed.
A comic genius... A man who can laugh at himself is a man who can truly laugh. A man who could only be copied.. Never replaced... R.I.P Thank you for the decent, clever infection called humour that you spread more easily than soft butter. Peaceful Journey...
God should keep the humans on earth that bring laughter to the masses and protect them. RIP. I hope when I am leaving this plane, I'll laugh with you and my family
John Pinette passed away in April 2014 (over 10 years ago ) . He was a Master of Mirth . I miss him so much. I met him for the first time at the Dunes Comedy Club in Las Vegas in the 80's . Became a friend of his. He was a true decent man and a lovely man. Miss those days at the Dunes Comedy Club with him and others, Also Dom Irrera . God Bless-
He really was too funny for this world. Quite possibly the greatest clean comedian to ever live. It truly makes me sad that he passed away. Such an incredible talent
Robert Gosselin I fully agree with you he didn't need to swear to get his jokes across to the audience. His timing was always perfect and when he would tell some of his stories about doing things with friends he could convey some of the story through his facial expressions. Like the beaver tail story and how he couldn't stop or the story about him passing gas in the van with the windows up and the heat being on. His facial expressions could sometimes tell half of the jokes and stories, lol. R.I.P. John, gone but not forgotten. Hands down one of the best.😂😂😂
John was brilliant by comedically Telling stories about subject matters we All related to... mostly making fun of himself rather than abusing others Wide range of talent .... impressions Singing...master of creating visuals while telling hilarious stories....one of the most Underrated comic minds!
JOHN STILL IS THE FUNNIEST MAN GOD EVER CREATED HE HAS MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD, HE WAS AND STILL IS THE BEST RELEVER FOR STRESS, I STILL LOVE HIM, BLESS HIS WONDERFUL HEART OF GOLD. AMEN JOHN , U ROCK
Exactly! The best comedians are the ones who can make you laugh without using smut in their show.... John Pinette, Red Skelton, Mr. Bean, Carol Burnette, Tim Conway, to name a few. Vulgarity ruins it. Same goes for movies.
Same here. So sad he's gone, so thankful that his work is preserved on RUclips. I watch everything I can find again and again. He was the best stand-up ever.
The world is less without him.
Much much less .. RIP. Funny guy!
God bless him....I don't care how many times I hear him...I laugh so darn hard I cry...
Yes.
It makes me so sad that he is no longer with us. John was tremendously talented, and continues to make me laugh. My world is a better place because of his humor.
Me too nothing helps the world heal than finding someone that can put humor to it. God knows we need that more nowadays more than ever.
Came to say the same thing and ya beat me to it. 🙏❤️ John is a 'one of a kind' comedian for me. Absolutely hilarious. He has, and still does, help keep me going in this world. His work has always brought me happiness. Endless laughs. Will forever miss this great man. We love you, John Pinette!
One truly doesn’t know the greatest joys in life until they are gone😔
@@jdpragmatic8644 spot on!
Absolutely 💯
John.... thank you for all these beautiful and cheerful moments. RIP.. 1 of your fans from Holland
He was a comedy genius! No cussing, or sexual jokes and it’s full of gut wrenching laughs. Miss him! RIP Mr. Funny
He often swears, that's okay.
Why do sexual jokes repulse you? Sex is fertile ground for humor. I'm gonna guess that because of his size his sex life may have been non average. Perhaps that's why he didn't make too many, or any, jokes on that subject.

@@markhenry6486 i think youre looking too much into it haha. he didnt say they repulsed him

does adult humour offend you
check his earlier work,

5 years later and I hope you are doing well.
The sad part is his humor I can so relate to. We really need another gem like him remind us to laugh.
So right, Lewis Black is similar
He was hysterical RIP
Well said my friend
Try Fluffy
He was, the one and only! 😔🪖🇺🇲
Its another day in every day of our lives. Thanks, for sharing our day! God Bless him, we miss him dearly.
I really miss him. He had a sense of humor, perfect timing, and real world events to make you laugh. Thank you John, you are missed!
+Dave Salisbury Born Comedian! well said post.
I miss him too....
Dave Salisbury 😢😭
Dave Salisbury 😢
i agree on the timing, it was fantastic delivery
RIP big guy I never had the change to really see you in concert excellent humor you have
He's awesome, like you enjoy him from start to the end
"Hiking is a walk that sucks"!!!...PRICELESS, CLASSIC JOHN PINETTE!!!..."BUT I SAY, "NAY NAY"!!!!!!!!! R I P, JOHN!!! GONE WAY 2 SOON...
Geez the funniest comedian I've ever heard and he didn't swear or talk about sex all the time. RIP John. You were the best.
I agree that he was a great comedian, I love him....but he swore like a trooper so where do you come up with he didn't swear?
Bee Free - I don’t find a lot of swearing in his material. I know know there is some, but mainly hell and other minor swear words. I was shocked when I heard him say the f and the b word. I feel that John swears less than most comedians and find his humour very tame.
Robert Gosselin Well. I don't think he'd have much experience to go on. Lol. You're right he was great.
He's dead!!
That's what a real comedian does which the left thinks swearing on TV etc is a good things not...
We were fortunate enough to see John perform a couple of times at the Improv in Irvine. There was a Cheesecake Factory restaurant in the mall where the Improv is located.

@@beefree7114 I have watched about 20 of his bits now and I have not heard one curse word out of him.
He had impeccable timing
Watch When He First Started... Cussed Like A Trooper... 😏
Miss him and still laughing about the chinese buffet after all these years!!!!
Loved this guy and heard he was a kind man also .
Noel Castillo “You scare my wife!”
Noel Castillo FlipNVegas "You been here four hour!!" Another funny skit was "Free Willy".
You go now!
Noel FlipNVegas I first heard Indian Food and I was hooked for years.
John was a comedic genius in so many ways. He is missed and can never be replaced.
Funny without being vulgar, very refreshing. Him and Jim gaffigan are the kings of clean comedy
Sheer Genius! What a tremendous talent. If I’m having a bad day I just watch John Pinette routine and in thirty seconds my mood transforms. RIP John, we miss you so....
Yup if I'm sick or depressed/anxious I watch John and my mood does a total 180!
Had front row seats to his headliner show on a royal Caribbean cruise. Me my wife and kids laughed so hard we were coughing and crying.
And I actually got to see him in the cruise ship buffet line! LOL
How priceless of a memory!!!!!
He was absolutely hilarious and wonderful, but one question....when you saw him, did you get outta the line?
He’s an absolute gem of a comedian and clearly equally as a person. RIP big man.
His delivery is SO good. The facial expressions, the yelling, his timing - truly a great comedian. I feel honored to have seen him when he opened for Frank Sinatra at the Greek Theatre in L.A. in 1991. He said later that it was that job - opening for Sinatra on his tour of that year, part of Sinatra's Diamond Tour - that put him on the map. That was a nice little bonus. And Sinatra was good too!
Agreed. His timing is among the greatest of all time. I hear a little Don Rickles influence in his delivery.
His delivery was fantastic, I wish I could've seen his shows live before he passed. Rest in peace mr. Pinette, you are missed.
He's the best. Thank God for these recordings, he will always be near .
I think we should have a John Pinette day. To celebrate the greatest comedian of this era.
I just love him...gone far too soon RIP John....
AMEN. I couldn't agree more.
Me too how about Nov 13
I whole heartedly agree my friend
Let’s do that!
His best joke is about his visit to Italy. I nearly die, from a lack of oxygen from laughing so hard, every time I hear it.
Absolutely, poor Timmy lol
Agreed,
His facial expressions are as funny as his stories.
Heaven is a better place because of J.P.
You are truly missed John. You were a blessing to us all.
I used to see him every time he was in NY. I got his autograph on his CD.he used to be oit in the lobby before his shows talking with everyone. He was a VERY personable guy.

I met him in Arizona, home of his DQ story.
Thank You for sharing that nice encounter with John. I watch him on You Tube all the time and still laugh. I miss him and his sense of humor. He was one of the greats!
youre full of crap

How lucky you were to have been in his company for even 45 minutes1
My favorite comedian. Hilarious. Great delivery. Clean humor. Miss him so much
What a wonderful man. Rest In Paradise John. I bet you're making them laugh in heaven.❤
ah damn I miss him ... it takes heart and talent to be funny without trying to shock or push the limits of decency ... i wish there was more of his material online
Listen to iheartradio 24/7 comedy they got alot of his bits on there it's my fave station

I have about a dozen hour routines saved here in youtube. Also hear lots on accuradio
What's getting me is I'm seeing all these posts that were put up FIVE years ago and it's hard to believe he's been gone that long!!!I sincerely haven't been able to watch his videos until just THIS WEEK,! And I didn't realize that I had waited THAT long to see him again.
And his comedy is as fresh and funny as it was the first time I heard it.
John Pinette and Robin Williams were two great comedians who will be missed. Unfortunately we lost them to early I hope they rest in peace.
We lost Joan Rivers, Robin Williams & John Pinette all in 2014....
the year comedy died! 😢
Oh get real!
Missing you John. So funny, you make me cry.
I remember reading an interview Mr. Pinette did where he talked about his visits to Canada and he was very kind and complimentary about us.

You can easily see the affection the audience has for him and vice versa in this performance in Montreal.
I loved this man. When he passed away it left a massive void. His talent was supermassive. I wished to God I could’ve seen him in person.
So there you are. Praying doesn’t help.
Sometimes you have to leave home to do what you want to do and love to do. Just like The Beatles who had to go to Germany for people to realize how good they were. We in Canada thank John Pinette for coming here to share his humor with us on Just for Laughs. We in Canada miss you and will never forget you.....RIP Big Boy!
Great comedians are rare. He was one of the best.
RIP John
One of THE funniest men to ever grace a stage
"Lighten up at the check-in!" Hilarious. Love you, John.

So sad to lose him right in his prime comedic genius. One of the greatest.
John was such a great character and funny man..he has made me laugh so much..he is definitely in the top 3 of my favorites

Surly one of the best comedian of all time you are missed still and always will be in our hearts. RIP John Pinette. 💔😞😥😔
I really miss John Pinette! He was one REALLY funny dude!!! Rest in peace, John, wherever you are!
I saw him several times in Boston back in the day. I will miss him. but I guess god said to you, "you go now !!!"
You scare my wife!!!
Pharmaceuticals took him from us.
I hope there wasnt a line for him once he got there. :)
Or, you. Big boy. Come here.
He's getting them back at the wizard of oz buffet up there lol
He made us laugh and was very loved. We miss you John.
Such a talent.. RIP.. you made me laugh until I cried.
Craig Stewart me too
Craig Stewart
The "I can't believe..." part was priceless!!! 😂😂😂
His voice mimicking and facial expressions add the icing to the cake when he gives the punch line. I laugh till I'm choking or breathless.
John was my favorite. I miss him very much. God's peace to you my friend.
Yah I've seen him live about 5 years before he died. I never laughed so hard in my life. He was good.
Another of these funny guys who left us too soon.
Just watched this guy, for the 1st time. Hilarious~I didn't know he passed, until I read the comments. What a shame. He was a great comedian. :((
Truly a shame - he was really brilliant.
ManyThanx My dear friend John always kills us every time you always get your moneys worth enjoy my dear friend and be safe
I ran into him in LA. I walked over told him I loved his comedy. He was extremely gracious and kind. Had a nice conversation. Miss his comedy!
rdgtxs I’m so jealous
I'm here because I miss him. Funny that Ottawa show I was at...a cold January night. Laughter warmed us all up though.
A comic genius...
A man who can laugh at himself is a man who can truly laugh.
A man who could only be copied..
Never replaced...
R.I.P
Thank you for the decent, clever infection called humour that you spread more easily than soft butter.
Peaceful Journey...
Have you ever laughed and cried at the same time? I just did. He was one of my favorites and I hate that he is gone. 😢
I know what you mean. It's like watching Robin Williams videos now. Funny....and sad. I really miss John's humor.
I love all the little things he does when talking and moving ect. My favorite is the shaking hands. And how his stories connect? It's amazing
God should keep the humans on earth that bring laughter to the masses and protect them. RIP. I hope when I am leaving this plane, I'll laugh with you and my family
Amen.
Still come back here to see this great man, miss this guy, God Bless Him..
this came up in my recommended. Glad it did b/c he is a ray of sunshine needed always
One of my favorite comedians of all time!
John Pinette passed away in April 2014 (over 10 years ago ) . He was a Master of Mirth . I miss him so much.

Loved him. Classy, funny, self-depreciating. RIP John
One of the best stand up comedians I ever saw. I wish I had seen him in person
He had such a infectious smile
Love this guy. Enough said. ❤❤❤❤ !
A truly funny man , that did not have to shock to amuse . I had the pleasure of seeing him live in Niagara Falls .
Love you John!!!!! You are missed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best comedians ever.
He had great personality, a natural.

RIP John. I hope you and John Candy are in heaven right now trading jokes
Ohh I adore John Candy so much. I met him.
Jody Hakala lucky!!
Dug their own graves with a knife and fork....
Thanks for the time you gave us.
RIP John, I guess you were just too funny for this world.
Or or maybe possibly people just die and it has zero to do with how funny one is or isn't?
He really was too funny for this world. Quite possibly the greatest clean comedian to ever live. It truly makes me sad that he passed away. Such an incredible talent
@@brettwillis1252 John, Robin Williams, John Candy....deaths that actually made me cry. Such a loss to the world.
funniest guy on the planet!!!!!!!!!!! so sad i never got to see him live. everytime i watch his videos ,,, my stomach hurts from laughing!!!
I went to Ottawa in January and nope, not touristy...paid my hotel bill in toaster currency
Gave u change in crumbs ?
The toaster back to the toaster is the genius of his comedy
"I'm part of a rogue splinter group..."
Genius
One of my regrets, is I passed up a chance to go see John live at Just For Laughs in Montreal. What a mistake, he was one of the best.
Robert Gosselin I fully agree with you he didn't need to swear to get his jokes across to the audience. His timing was always perfect and when he would tell some of his stories about doing things with friends he could convey some of the story through his facial expressions.

John was brilliant by comedically
Telling stories about subject matters we
All related to... mostly making fun of himself rather than abusing others
Wide range of talent .... impressions
Singing...master of creating visuals while telling hilarious stories....one of the most
Underrated comic minds!
1 of the few people that i felt the need to go and see live, glad I did. dude is a legend, his comedy will live on forever.
"Hiking is a walk that sucks." That's right up there with Mark Twain's, "Golf is a good walk spoiled."
I always liked " salad isn't a food....salad comes with the food" "salad is a promissory note of food that's to come"
Three callbacks in one set is epic. Most comedians struggle with just one, and it's usually the closer.
He riffed on the whole gluten-free nonsense before it was even a household thing Lmfaooo! He is sorely missed!
I NEED GLUTEN! EVERYTHING IS TURNING GLUTEN FREE! I NEED WHAT EVER IT IS! ITMAKES IT TASTEFUL@!
JOHN STILL IS THE FUNNIEST MAN GOD EVER CREATED HE HAS MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD, HE WAS AND STILL IS THE BEST RELEVER FOR STRESS, I STILL LOVE HIM, BLESS HIS WONDERFUL HEART OF GOLD. AMEN JOHN , U ROCK
Canadians..omg i looove us
.we are the kindest and best people
.
Ah. The best. Thank's for the post.
Awesome reading. Thanks for the good words in these stressful times
I think this particular set he did was damn near perfect. The way he looped back to the family from Ottawa and the toaster warranty was genius.
That’s a true comedian, of course he can do it. That was his job!
How can 1.2K give this a thumbs down? 🤨
Because they are ignorant of a genius. He was a great man. R.I.P..
We miss him 😢😢😢still one of the funniest!👍👍🙏🙏🙏
such a funny comedian and a wonderful man by all accounts,, you are sorely missed R.I.P John
A real pleasure to watch ,be in God's glory John I'm sure you're making him laugh!!
ManyThanx John is Just Brilliant!!!! We Love John!!
We always saw John everytime he came to Phoenix. He’d always stop after the show and chat with folks. Sorely missed.
He was a great person and sooo down to earth
Why do the best have to go? I just watch what's here over and over
Exactly! The best comedians are the ones who can make you laugh without using smut in their show.... John Pinette, Red Skelton, Mr. Bean, Carol Burnette, Tim Conway, to name a few. Vulgarity ruins it. Same goes for movies.
