Because his humor doesn't relate to Americans. I say this as an American who either not getting the references or just plain not understanding his accent.
I never comment on videos but I feel compelled to share that "Take it easy" by the eagles began playing in the cafe I am in, almost immediately after the joke ended.
I appreciate Ivo, his delivery, cadence, functionally stressed and neurotic demeanor. He reminds me of a precocious middle school boy who was privileged and bright but struggled with socializing despite being a touch full of himself. A unique blend of flavors in the comedy landscape. I wish him the best.
Wow I never associated agas with wealth. Just with it being really sodding tricky to cook anything. I guess that's my white privilege kicking in right there 😂
I can't decide if it would have been better or worse if, instead of the American rock band the Eagles, it had been the American football team the Eagles. The documentary would have been similarly excruciating to watch while sober either way.
Ivo, I love you and your standup but please don't miscall yourself or others "incels", even as a joke, when you were just lonely and not in a relationship. Incels are misogynists who blame their misfortunes and their lack of romantic companionship on women, usually online, and I don't think you even jokingly want to associate yourself with that. Young lost men today who are just lonely and lacking motivation, without a sliver of hatred, do not need further bullying by being referred to as "incels" on top of everything else.
Ivo's comedy is subtle. It mostly plays on embedded features of English society and doesn't translate well to English speakers who don't also have a strong understanding of English cultural mores. In short: If you didn't like it, it wasn't for you. Move on. (This is true of most stand-up comedy.)

Can you be bigger than you are?
Because he's literally copying exact mannerisms and delivers as jimmy carr

Love this - Ivo is amazing! He is so verbally fluent and hilarious as well! Such a delight to listen to 😂
I couldn't wait for this video to become live! Love Ivo Graham!
I was only familiar with Ivo from panel show appearances. This show was great. I absolutely loved the Wordle joke at the start.

Brilliant stuff. Hope I see a lot more of Ivo in a lot more places.

😂 Well done
He reminds me a lot of Jack Whitehall.
How could they not at least refund him? This is like a horror story to me.

What's his appeal?

He is great but for a niche market. Would Americans get it?
This one does. There’s more to American comedy than Kevin Hart and Amy Schumer.
@@bondfool Please suggest a few to watch. I thought the Canadians have a sense of humour.
@@creativesource3514 chris fleming is similarly skilled at funny & elaborate phrasing
@@creativesource3514 Maria Bamford, Tig Notaro, Paul F. Tompkins…
@@bondfool thanks. I will check them out.

Do British people understand the difference between comedy and cadence?
do you
Ivo's comedy is subtle. It mostly plays on embedded features of English society and doesn't translate well to English speakers who don't also have a strong understanding of English cultural mores.

Do you tube commentators know the difference between can comment and should comment?
This makes no sense whatsoever but thanks for the great insight.
