Underrated gets thrown around a lot, but I never hear about Harland even in casual conversations about stand ups. Ever! I laughed more at this than many many others.
I saw him do standup a few weeks ago. Absolutely hilarious. Met him and got a picture together after the show. Nice guy. It’s was one of the best comedy shows I’ve been to.
@@Sickwithit355 Do you realize most people discovering him now haven't heard his bits from 25 years ago? This dude is on a roll recently and is great at riffing on the fly. People love him, no need to be a hater my guy.
He's so great at casual improvisation, makes it so funny fluid and natural. And I love how he interacts with the crow, "my love", "my friend", "buddy", "darling", etc
I regret not rediscovering Norm sooner. I loved him as a kid in the 90's, the kinda... forgot. Then stumbled back across him 20 years later only for him to die just as I was realizing he was literally my favorite comic of all-time. Then I saw Harland on KT, so funny went to check out his pod. He mentioned how he was real close with Norm. Makes sense. Crazy. He's super fkn hilarious too tho. I've never seen this special before. He rolled right through the crowd interaction, was way out in left-field for his time. Very cool. Anyway, have a good'n friendly fella.
🏆😎👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I just now watched this special for probably the hundredth time. Harland Williams is truly one of a kind. He is so unique, so talented, and hugely respected by tons of comedians. What really bothers me is at the end when the crowd doesn’t give him a standing ovation. He deserved a thunderous round of applause. Sometimes people just don’t know that this is a thing. I mean, his crowd work was outstanding. He sang throughout the show. He has impeccable timing. His ability to transition with ease and carry an entire show to completion without a single lull shows that he has an exceptional amount of skill. He even threw in a, “Come on now!” (Won’t cha now!) The way he gets down on one knee when he addresses someone. His adoring terms of endearment that he uses with audience members. He is stunningly handsome. Harland I have adored you from day one my friend and Harland, This one’s for you.. 🎤 👨🏼 🏆👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
If you're still on RUclips maybe you'll get a notification since this stand up is so old. I just discovered him last night October 2022. He was on the Gutfeld show. Never heard of him, but the more I'm watching I have seen him, I think he may have even had Parts in movies. I've watched stand up my entire life, premium channels, Netflix since it was invented. To my knowledge he's never been given a 1 hour standoff with Showtime HBO or Netflix. I'll search later. In today's woke world, I just watched something recent. Very funny guy. He gave the best explanation of still joking about gays Etc. He said I tell people I'm not making fun of minorities I'm making them inclusive. More people need to realize, if the topic is popular enough for a comedian to joke about it. Then their part of everyday America. Most people don't realize, comedians have a very high IQ. They also must keep up on current events in order to last in the industry. Since he did this stand up, the USA has changed so much. It's gone so crazy, drag queens performing in schools. Sorry that's a step too far. It's not worth a joke because it's absolutely insane. Perhaps that is the joke, the insanity of drag queens performing for grade school students.
Harland killed it. First time I ever seen him on a hour special. I’ve heard his stand up was good, but this surpasses any expectation. I’m gonna have to make it a point to see him live one day if I get the opportunity! So frickin funny and creative.
@@royeaston6067 countless jokes on the crowd, thats off the top.. just because they practice it a million times doesnt mean its all scripted exactly. they are always trying new ways to finish a joke or add to it, maybe take some words out, say something different, change the order etc so many things... you cant just blatantly say he didnt freestyle anything in this special, thats just foolish.
@@royeaston6067He comes up with jokes in his head, but unlike a lot of comedians, Harland doesn’t write his jokes down or plan his set out. He has said he just goes out and lets his mind do its thing for the most part.
I met this guy in Baltimore, he was the coolest guy ever, I saw him standing in the hallway after the show & I immediately yelled “gimme that booze you pumpkin pie hair cutted freak!” Got a picture with him & he signed my shirt. Love that guy
Gotta say, I've never heard anyone interact with his crowd the way he did that day. This goes down in the history books of stand up comedy for those who have real appreciation for comedy
I honestly would dare say from the 80's to 2010 were ACTUALLY not horrible all things considered. Obviously not saying tough times don't exist but. Magical is pretty close to the right word for me as well.
Man, I put this on and added it to my watch later because I thought I’d finish it later. Nope, sat and watched the whole thing through while laughing my ass off the whole time. Such a class act.
I love comedy and comedians and can't believe I never heard of Harland Williams before today. This was an extraordinary show. I can't wait to start listening to more of his comedy.
Sure but demand and supply. Comedy shows for example who know they can sell 500,000 seats out, aren't always gonna eat the unrealized loss and limit it to a 100,000 seats instead (numbers are mainly just an example, scale up or down for the same point really). They'd be potentially losing out on 400,000 ticket sales, just to create a bit more intimate of a venue. Capitalism has done this to entertainment. Started golden in the early 2000s, then people profitmax and cut corners to inflate bottom dollars.
Harland was/is so ahead of the game. I love how sweet he is to everyone while still being razor sharp. He’s still killing it! One of the most unique guys to do it! He and Norm McDonald are the kings.
I have seen Harland multiple times and ranks as one the greats of my lifetime. He does a lot of crowd work, can really engage his audience and is a good guy. I hope when the world settles and we can go to shows safely he'll return to my area.
His scene from There's something about Mary where he pitches 7 minute abs and loses his shit when presented with the idea of 6 minute abs and its seemingly freestyle.
His performance in Something About Mary has stayed with me for years....I'm delighted beyond belief to find this. I thought he was just some obscure actor....but he's a proper comedian....and to me, comedians are greater than rockstars..They are GODS.
I feel robbed lol. Only thing I saw from Harland in the late 90s as a kid was Rocket Man. Didn’t even get to watch Half Baked till I was older. Genius comic
Wow. The way he brings the audience into the bit in multiple ways is so good. The tattoo one is a good example. He is definitely underrated and should be up there with the best of 'em. His podcast is my favorite along with Theo's and Matt and Shane's.
Must be a Canadian in a Canadian venue... Clue #1) He made the Tim Hortons comment and #2) The banter with the lady in the audience that he thought smoked DuMaurier cigarettes... Harland, you have done our country proud!! You're hilarious!!
I remember seeing it on CTV when this was brand new. He stuck in my head for years even though i forgot his name, was so glad when I found him again, I think in a Conan interview.
Harland, I've been watching your pod and your specials too. sort of deep diving. just found this one today. Your stories, jokes, and the crowd were flawless thanks for the og
How is it I knew him from one of my ALL TIME Favorite movies Dumb & Dumber but this guy is MASTERFUL!! This World Class Comic is known, but dang🤔, I had no idea he was THIS GREAT‼
Wife and I just saw Harland in Port Charlotte Florida, wasent even sure what wew ere gonna see, This guy mase me laugh harder then I have kaughed in YEARS! He is fricking Hillarious! Thanks for the huge laughs I needed em!
He’s always been on point. I forgot about him until Kill Tony honestly, but I’ve been on a rabbit hole ever since. This man is one of the funniest people ever.

What an underrated comedy legend! We need more Harland.
We definitely need more Harland aka Carl the robot.
Underrated gets thrown around a lot, but I never hear about Harland even in casual conversations about stand ups. Ever! I laughed more at this than many many others.
Well that makes two of you....
He's in a few movies, pretty good imo.
Who rated him poorly?
He was in a million movies.
Genuinely want to know whom you've met that rates him as a poor comedian.
I've been following Harland Williams ever since my first sip of grandpa's cough medicine.
Been doing a bit of boozing, have ya?
@@supersnuffles102 easy now my guy
was this before or after Harland plays a role where he listens to whales in Downs Periscope with Frasier?
You keep your mouth shut if you know whats good for ya buddy..

That's a joke morans. Harlands joke, he said it recently on KT

I’m so glad to see so many young people finding Harland for the first time because of the comedy podcast circuit.
This man deserves every bit of it!
Im a 31 belgian. Never heard if him up until today. He looks like a genius. Him and Norm being friends is a beautiful story.
Yes but they won't get half of the references in this video.
@@divermike8943 Your right.. I have no idea what a Starbuck is. I had a goat with that name tho
I saw him do standup a few weeks ago. Absolutely hilarious. Met him and got a picture together after the show. Nice guy. It’s was one of the best comedy shows I’ve been to.
I highly recommend you watch his podcast then. One of the funniest out there.
Great
At the start I wasn't sure about this guy, but I quickly became a fan!
I saw him about 10 years ago and it was incredible. He's way funnier live.
He’s back! He’s been killing it as a guest on kill tony
Harland's podcast is awesome. The Normand one is great since he yes ands.
agreed! all i ever knew him from was his cop scene in dumb & dumber , until he started coming on KT , aha love him.
You guys realize he's been doing the same bits for 20 year right lmao he even did that 3 meat cooking one on somethings burning.
@@Sickwithit355 Do you realize most people discovering him now haven't heard his bits from 25 years ago? This dude is on a roll recently and is great at riffing on the fly. People love him, no need to be a hater my guy.
@@Sickwithit355he comes up with new stuff all the time that was just a throw back congrats on being so smart
Interactive humor improvisation with this kind of both kindness and skill is sheer genius. Superb standup, through and through.
Every time I watch Harland I think of the song: "Feels like the first time." Or maybe I have Alzheimer's, or worse yet, Everything-elseheimer's. :^)
I'm so glad you don't even do a spoiler with this. Thanks
Oh wait the log ride it came and passed nevermind
He's so great at casual improvisation, makes it so funny fluid and natural.
And I love how he interacts with the crow, "my love", "my friend", "buddy", "darling", etc
Still holds up. Gotta love it
An hour of almost entire improv. I regret waiting so long to re-discover him. Legend
Check out Harland Highway if you haven't, hilarious.

Thanks for uploading this (11 years ago) It's crazy this is from '99 and still hilarious!! Harland is one of a kind for sure.
Agreed!!!
Still hilarious? As if comedy is something new
@@MushroomSwissburger-yc4oi37
He really is one of best at crowd work, so non threatening, no meanness at all
He called me Paul Bunyon and it hurt.
Well he IS Canadian.
I like how Harland can freestyle his jokes..that takes talent pal
Trust me none of this is freestyle that’s the art of it making it seem like it’s spontaneous and off the top.
@@royeaston6067 countless jokes on the crowd, thats off the top.. just because they practice it a million times doesnt mean its all scripted exactly. they are always trying new ways to finish a joke or add to it, maybe take some words out, say something different, change the order etc so many things... you cant just blatantly say he didnt freestyle anything in this special, thats just foolish.

Okay buddy

I met this guy in Baltimore, he was the coolest guy ever, I saw him standing in the hallway after the show & I immediately yelled “gimme that booze you pumpkin pie hair cutted freak!” Got a picture with him & he signed my shirt. Love that guy
dumb & dumber. he was the icing on the cake of perfection......loved that movie......Harland made it the best movie of all time....
Lol that was my intro to harland
Epic scene! 😂
Gotta say, I've never heard anyone interact with his crowd the way he did that day. This goes down in the history books of stand up comedy for those who have real appreciation for comedy

Man the 90s were magical (maybe I’m just old now lol). Love Harland
Wish we could go back.
The last great decade.
I honestly would dare say from the 80's to 2010 were ACTUALLY not horrible all things considered. Obviously not saying tough times don't exist but. Magical is pretty close to the right word for me as well.
Man, I put this on and added it to my watch later because I thought I’d finish it later. Nope, sat and watched the whole thing through while laughing my ass off the whole time. Such a class act.
There are some days that, medicinally, i need a laugh. Guaranteed im turning to Harlan!! Absolutely one of the best ever!!! 100%❤❤❤
7:31 Harland used the nose-ring joke again on Kill Tony the other day. This guy is a classic!
He's like the Far Side cartoons in the form of a person.
Accurate
This guy needs a comeback. This was hilarious.
real people know how legendary he is
Hey guy, I know this is three years late but Harland is having a great comeback right now! Check out his podcast Harland Highway!
@@Captianjim he'll be at the mothership soon too
Dudes killing it now 5 years later! Check out his podcast harland higheay
He's gonna be the #1 guest on Kill Tony this year, he's definitely getting a surge in popularity now
Smiling for the past 45 minutes, Harland is a legend
Harland has always been one of my favorite comics, I love the way he interacts with the audience in this, he's so good at it.
The howling was hilarious 😂
I love comedy and comedians and can't believe I never heard of Harland Williams before today. This was an extraordinary show. I can't wait to start listening to more of his comedy.
watch his Podcast it's hilarious
@cvxcfv he was in the movie half baked, he was in prison for accidentally killing a police horse.
This hour of stand up/improv/crowd work is probably the best ever.
I love the new wave of people discovering the greatness of Harland.
Absolutely hilarious! The final six minutes alone are gold. This is why small, intimate venues are still very important for comedy.
Sure but demand and supply. Comedy shows for example who know they can sell 500,000 seats out, aren't always gonna eat the unrealized loss and limit it to a 100,000 seats instead (numbers are mainly just an example, scale up or down for the same point really).

That SHOULD HAVE been a Standing Ovation! Bravo to that guy, absolutely brilliant. Comedy rarely ages well, & I LOL throughout.

That was so chill...felt like it could go on for eternity.
That was some of the best stand up ever,. Freaking awesome
The best crowd work I've ever seen! The man is under appreciated. He's now in my top 3 favorites.
His small scene in 'Dumb & Dumber' was a classic. I really enjoyed his crowd work here. Very playful and fun. 😂
His best roll was officer cox for big money hustlas with icp
His scene from There's something about Mary where he pitches 7 minute abs and loses his shit when presented with the idea of 6 minute abs and its seemingly freestyle.
Fantastic crowdwork some of the best I've ever seen
andrew schulz check his crowd work
This was just put in my fyp, I'm excited to hear uncensored comedy from 11 years ago
I had no idea he was this funny. Really, really loved the whole show!!
That's hands down the best stand-up comedy show ever filmed. How he got along with everyone is so funny..he makes people feel relaxed
He is a comedy genius, he gets people from the audience to make jokes lol
I love this special! This is probably the 4th time I've watched it. Harland is so awesome and I love the way he works with the crowd. Lol
Comedy now on the Canadian comedy network had good specials back in the day. Harland is a gem
2024 and still getting comments this guy is a goat
Holy hell that was hilarious

This kind of quality and that suit i would have assumed this was from the mid 1980's.
Still, one funny Canadian right here.
This was amazing. One of thre rare occasions where the recommended section pulls through
He's so good. So naturally funny and so calm and in controle of the crowd. A master at work.
holy sht. this might be one of my favorite specials ever. sooo much fun
What a treat.
Good to see him blowing up again, he’s always been underrated and he might be bigger than ever now.
I love how his weirdness brings out the weirdness of the audience and he rolls with it and plays so well off them. Harland's truly one of a kind
This was freaking hilarious!!! Harland is such an incredible comedian!!!
