He nailed it... I'm 52... I vividly recall the 1970's to 1990's doorbell moments... friends & family stopping by to just say hello... come in stay a half hour to hour... have some soda, snacks... walk them out to their car... hugs, say good night... America was much different then...
I'm 21 and boy do I envy you and my parents on how you guys grew up. I feel lost and hopeless. It's ironic i'm using my phone to tell you this but cell phones and this new aged technology has ruined everything.
Shoot, I’m 39 and I remember it exactly how he described. My parents were part of a welcome wagon and supper club so we always had company like that, the house would be spotless, we would be decently dressed and as he said, there was always some coffee cake, pie or crumble waiting. And it wasn’t uncommon for my dad to invite neighbors in to just talk and catch up. Mind you, he was a bit older and from the Chicago area so he probably was a bit more old fashioned than other kids’ dads my age.
Right? I remember my mom very extremely alternating between being pleasant for our company and being dead serious and menacing when she was correcting our child behavior in front of the company. It would be like, “say Jackie, would you like more coffee cake? Sure, thing, I’ll get you a slice!”. Turns to me and sister in a hushed, angry tone, “I told you to pick up those f$&king toys! Get them out of here!” 😂😂
Almost 2025….and watching this again. I’m 60 now. Every single thing Sebastian states is true. Word for word, moment for moment. I know… I’m older. But I bet most people would love to be back living in those times, rather than the crap world we have transformed into today.
Exactly, remember when all the neighborhood Moms had our Moms phone number? If they saw us misbehaving they would call our Moms? Everyone knew everyone and it was safe for us kids to play wherever we wanted. Now no one speaks to anybody, and the kids stay inside.
Love this bit. Would love to see a modern twist added where the guy coming downstairs informs the whole family that it's his Amazon package. The family gets up relieved after sweating bullets.
I'm almost 49 and this is how I grew up. My grandparents and friends of the family would show up "to visit". My mom always seemed to have an Entenmens cake. Now people keep each other at arms length. Back then it was the best of times.
Sebastian’s a MASTER storyteller. Even if you didn’t experience the same things, you can live it by watching him. Between the storytelling and the physicality, you’re completely drawn in.
Man, I’m 58 and so thankful I grew up when I did! Times like these…absolutely precious. When he talks about Sarah Lee coffee cake…Sanka….😂😂 dear heaven I almost peed myself I laughed so hard. And that you didn’t answer the phone when company was over?! Wow, just a little bit different now right? You’re out with friends, they get a text and read and answer it while you’re still speaking to them…we really have become incredibly rude. Well, thanks for those memories Sebastian. My childhood was absolutely golden. ❤
Yessssss! I remember my dad saying “ don’t answer the phone!” When company was over. And the when answering machines came out he would say “let the answering machine pick it up!” 😂😂😂
The Entemanns on the table hit me hard, reminds me so much of my Italian great grandmother and grandmother. So funny! And they always asked me the second I walked through the door, “Have you eaten? Here, eat something, I made this for you”
This is one of the most genius comedic routines ever uttered. Never gets old..., cause it’s true. My dad used to invite the Jehovah Witnesses in (in the eighties) and he was an atheist at the time.
My mom would spend over an hr talking to the same Jehovah's witnesses lady on the weekends. Nothing ever happened beyond the visit at the door. 😂😂😂 Ah, memories.
@@cecewonderwoman4617, pretty much the same. My Dad would take a break from working on one of his cars and sit there in a dirty t-shirt and jeans in the middle of a Saturday afternoon. Never an unkind word of sense of impatience. I'm certain my mom would have served 'em home made lemonade and politely informed them she was catholic. I never saw her sit with them but I know what kind of person she was.
You're spot on!!! When it was time to go to bed at night, it was like tranquilizer listing to the family still talking and laughing in the kitchen. And when you smelled the coffee laying in bed, you knew they were staying longer.
Sadly its more like 40 years ago, not 20...but everything else is spot on! 😊 I'd forgotten all about the cake and desserts that were 'for company only', until he said that here...😂 Brings back memories! ☺️
So true! Things back then had some sort of sparkle and chimes. Nowadays, it's like there's a horror movie soundtrack always playing in the background of our daily lives. 😖
@@emm6155 Right? Spending time together was so good! We memorized everyone's number, and if we didn't remember a particular one, we could call an aunt and she'd dictate it to us and make sure we got it right! You could call anyone at their house and they'd be there, and you'd talk about anything and it was good. You could call grandma just to tell her you cleared a stage in Super Mario Bros. and she'd genuinely rejoice. 😟
I showed this sketch to my mom who was born in the 50's. For her it was a mix of nostalgia, hysterical laughter and the sad realization of the times we live in.
Doorbell routine absolutely spot on. I grew up in the 50’s-60’s. German family. My mom always had baked cakes, especially on weekends. Friends visited a lot on Sunday afternoons or Saturday. Sanka could be offered or the electric percolator was put on. You were happy for company, especially if they had kids and you could play in the backyd or front if warm. No worries about being abducted!! Social interaction was abundant. Fast forward to the present-- eye to eye conversation all but gone at dinner time, if you even eat together. In restaurants adults and kids on phones, texting. No wonder young people can’t string a grammatically correct sentence together. It’s all abbreviations, and smart phone code. Ahhhhh! Now texting is the oral conversation of 50’s to 70’s. Social media is changing young people’s exchanging of social discourse and manners. Internet has its positives, however, I’m glad I was brought up in an era of simplicity, cherishing family, company over, and manners! I hope somehow we can return to a little of that small town life!
We all jumped up in excitement that someone was outside ringing the bell. And I definitely remember the "just in case" coffee cake and the can of Sanka. Sebastian hits the mark every time!!
As a almost 50 year old....I remember those days....we had company...I loved those days I grew up in...so lucky I did...not saying times were perfect...but I miss those times so bad.
I love this guy so much. I'm 49 years old and his whole routine is literally telling the story of my life. I think that's a combination of both the times being different when we were younger and the Italian upbringing/tradition. But he literally brings me back to my youth and makes me laugh hysterically at the same time. Priceless.
Same here. My husband gets a kick out of my stories when I tell him about our Italian upbringing or seeing an Entenmann's in the store, I have to get it, he thinks it is funny how excited I get over it. I never ate them back then, we always had one in the kitchen or if we were out and someone was otw over, my mom would send one of us to go get one. Now, I can't pass by the display stand without picking one up, even if I don't finish it.
@@Gemmarose9012 I have a box of their pumpkin donuts sitting on top of the fridge right now, my Irish husband is obsessed with anything Entenmann’s , thanks to me 😂😂
OMG!! This skit is EXACTLY how it was in my Greek family in the 60’s and 70’s, and my Mother STILL has SANKA in her pantry!!! And what you described now a days is again, right on point, as I literally would ask that question - did you invite anyone over!!! THIS IS GREAT SKIT!!! I am STILL laughing - watched this abt 20 times - soooo funny!!!
I’m 54… I fondly remember family members, coworkers of my father, and neighbors knocking on the door - coming over to visit …and Bonus! if they had kids-even better!! We would go play outside - even at dark … it was just a thing … life as I knew it …so much fun! Little did I know those simple times were just slipping away -and my children and grandchildren would never experience this simple joy. I loved visiting with “the company”. Looking back : I guess this is why I’ve always made a point to have pastry desserts in the house… cakes/pies…waiting for that unexpected surprise visitor. Feeling nostalgic…
Same! And I do visit neighbors. Took about a year of awkwardness but we are building community in our neighborhood. Takes persistence and reciprocity but still possible if you are intentional😊
This is a joke I keep coming back to because it relates to every culture. I played it for my dad and he can’t stop laughing at this one. This segment alone has me checking for this dude everytime. I wish him success he is snapping !!
I lost it when he said "Entenmann's" on the table!! My mom is 3rd Gen Italian American and I remember seeing Entenmann's everywhere for the brief time we lived in Chicago with all her relatives. I was too young to really understand, but once Sebastian mentioned it, I about died laughing. As a matter of fact, I can totally relate to his humor and stories now that I am an in my 40's and I look back at my childhood. Thanks Sebastian!
@@ryanmozert ah yes… a man with such a refined, exquisite palate. A man with taste buds so fine, they must look down at all peasants who refer to such a cheap, worthless dessert and sneer from your high rise luxury skyscraper which sits miles above everyone in both a literal and figurative sense. From now on, anyone mentioning such a low class piece of trash sorry excuse for a dessert in any comedy special will now be shunned by our lord and savior of desserts, Ryan Johnson.
This is funny. But when I started to think about this it brought tears to my eyes, because it reminded me of the good old days. The way things used to be.
@@stevemcdaniell7348 ooohhhhh yeaahhhh! forgot about those ads..and not sure if *this* breakfast food advertisement went national - but thanks to, of all people, our 7th grade math teacher (back in the 1980's), i still remember that🎶"good morning, good *MUUUF-fin,* 🥯life's sweet with Orowheat..."🎼 song.🙋🏾♀️
I remember back in the day, this was true. Entenmann's crumb cake my mother had. True nowadays, I'm exactly like that now who the hell is that ringing the bell? "Everytime I'm doing something..." Let me keep quiet they will leave. 😂😂😂😂
Saw Sebastian in Charlotte NC last week. Laughed for an hour and 20 minutes. This man has spent probably 1000’s of hours honing his comedic verbiage and physical motions. A true professional. Hope to see him again. This clip is a classic, though sad to know that that wonderful era is over. Glad I lived it.
Old days are the best days of our lives. Showing up on your friend or family's door or receiving an unnanouced visit from parents or relatives or friends was indeed one of the best things to happen to us. Sebastian opened up on the beautiful past habits that we wish to have them back.
@@MN-ug9me I agree. We traded our regular human activities for the ease of everything. We forgot the wisdom,of an older generation, that warned us of robots taking our lives. And now we hv that easy life and A.I. does it all for us. Hail a cab Shops for us Make appts Educates us Operations Thinks for us Pretty much everything is done for us! Even pick a tune out for us. We hv the world we slowly chose and accepted. Knowingly or not.
This joke makes me both laugh and a bit sad at the same time. Funny as hell because it's so true. And sad because it so true. Would love to go back to these simpler times.
True call. Hysteria. Check out data from the CDC, also easily found in the DHHS web site. In the last couple of years, that's 2019-18, 34,000 Americans died of Influenza. Flu. It's a death rate of 7% out of all Americans who got it bad enough to require hospitalization, which reached the staggering number of 500,000. Total number of Americans diagnosed with the flu last winter was, brace yourself - 16.5 million! 5% of the American people were sick enough with the flu to go see a doctor. 3% of them needed hospitalization, out of that 3 %, 7% kicked the bucket. Nobody gave a rats turd about that. Btw, though I know overeating is not a physically contagious epidemic, do you know how many Americans died of Obesity? 300,000! 300K for duck's sake! But that's obesity. If you count ALL fat people who died due to constantly stuffing their faces with unhealthy quantities of food, you get 3,000,000! 3 million!!! 1% of the entire American population die each year from overeating. Corona is children play.
XmanSully, I agree with you to a certain point. They, the professionals who are experts in disease control, still do not know how it is really spreading. To be cautious is the right way to be thinking. Good hygiene is the number one practice to be implemented. Most people don’t really wash their hands. Especially in hospitals. So, even though your statistics might be right, it doesn’t change the fact that people are being infected and dying. If you survive, it might be awhile for a full recovery. To conclude my thought, media, yes I agree, they are known for pushing rumors. But, to consider this situation as a minor thought or just another contagious disease is a little on the denial side. The virus is spreading and more people are being infected everyday. I say be aware and to thank God or whatever you believe in, everyday is a blessing, to be with your loved family and friends. Today, would be a good day be thankful and laugh as much as you can.
I’m 39, and this was all still a thing when I was a kid. And goddamn how I greatly miss it, and the feeling of community we used to have. It used to be exciting when someone knocked, because it was almost always friends or family. Now I react as if I was startled out of sleep with a fuckin’ cattle prod.
If you like that you should listen to "David Sedaris, Live From Carnegie Hall." You can hear this lady high up in the balcony howling with laughter at David talking about having to buy slacks in the women's department with his sister (Amy Sedaris) and that too made the routine even funnier. Maybe it's the same lady? 😂
Sebastian Maniscalco portrayed this accurately. In the post WW II years, up until about 1995 or so, people "called" on friends and family members. In our Lithuanian household, the rule was steadfast and unchanging. A cup of coffee was in a guest's hands within five minutes and food offered in about 15...30, if they were close enough by blood to have something cooked for them.
Yup. Same with the Swedes. I grew up near Sebastian so most of the stuff he talks about growing up is the exact same for us. Once the 90s were over, everything changed. When I was a kid, our whole street was basically an open door policy. You could eat dinner wherever you wanted and were always welcomed. Same with friends all over when they came by. Now? Sebastian nailed it haha. I always peak out the window quick from a spot where they can't really see me to see who it is. If I don't know them, I kneel and freeze movement for about 2 minutes.
Agree, same experience as both of you, I grew up in an Iranian family in Germany. What happened to those days man? Things really were better back then, at least in that regard
@@Jdb63--Au contraire. Immigration has been the backbone of the development of this country. Those of us who grew up in ,multi-ethnic towns can vouch for the rich heritages that were freely shared--especially the food.
I’m almost 43 years old with kids & this is my most favorite comedy bit of ALL time! I’ve played it at least 100x & shared it with people! It is SO true to my life & how I grew up in a big family & close knit neighborhood, and exactly how I behave now when the doorbell rings😅…we actually even have a sword! 🤣 I am so thankful for the warmth & joy that you’ve brought my family, Mr. Maniscalco! God Bless
One of my favorite comedy bits ever. This describes my mother and I to a T, it's scary accurate. She passed a little over a year ago, but I often think about the time I showed her this and we laughed until we couldn't breathe.
This joke is funny but also kinda sad at the same time. I'm older so I miss the days when you could just freely pop up over friends or family's houses or they can pop up over yours without it being awkward.
I'm not even supposed to call my siblings without arranging it by text message first, like an appointment. We're all in our 50s and 60s, but they have really bought into the iPhone culture. I hate these times...
My family is Central American but of Italian decent on both sides and this guy describes exactly how my family reacted to receiving company back in the 80s. The happiness, cake, and the Sanka.
One of his best bits! And it’s totally true. My dad was an Episcopal Priest and in the 70’s and 80’s people just stopped by. We’d put on the coffee and my mom had cookies or Sara Lee pound cake.
Every time a comedian comes and goes, I think to myself: "I'll never find another comedian to replace them." This time I found Sebastian. He makes me laugh with every routine. Thank you, Sebastian! 😂
I've seen many of the Netflix comedy specials. No one can hold a candle to Sebastian! Thank you for all the Joy. I'm a baby boomer Jersey girl and you rock!
Growing up in the 90s I totally understand this. The doorbell rang we literally would run to the door, open up, Misses Lisa "Oh my gosh! Come on in". Now a large knock on the door and I'm like "is that the cops? What crime am I involved in..... I've done nothing wrong!"
Richard Powell - Yep! Lol. I grew up in the 90s and we would always go to each other's house. Parents would stop by unannounced. Not now, NO way! I'm guilty too though as I don't like company unannounced.
@@sisu413 pssshhhtttttt. Now? I don't like company period 🤣 it always seems to be right in the middle of me trying to get dinner started or something else important. 😄 So then I gotta wait 2 hrs to eat and now I'm hangry. 🤬😆
Richard Powell so true. The doorbell rarely rings here and if it's not a delivery it's usually not good. Unfortunately it has been the cops a few times or a process server
@@aminr4281 SAME! I needed a pick-me-up, & came right to this bit! Worked like a charm! NEVER fails! "NOW your doorbell rings? It's like, 'What the fu...?!'" Musta rewound that part 10 times in a row!'
I laughed myself silly over this. I'm 58, and grew up in Queens. This was 100% our life in the 70's and 80's, and we loved it! Look! It's Aunt Chris and Uncle Ray!
You have to be his Dad's age in order to get it. Cake was always saved for Company and Sanka was instant decaffeinated coffee which you drank in the evenings. Company dropped in almost any time of the day or night. In today's world we don't answer the door.
This was hysterical!! So true, and right on the money. Sebastian tells it like it is, and he gets it. This is nostalgic humor at its best that I can directly relate to. Growing up in the 70's was this way to a tee. The coffee cake and Sanka for company.. classic! Nobody rings your doorbell anymore these days unless they've been vetted. I was rollin'!
I think I’ve rewatched this skit, half a dozen times! Soooo funny. My most fav ever...and so true. Sometime ago, my husband and I are watching tv, Saturday, late morning. Teeth brushed, hair still tousled, enjoying caffeine...knock on the door. We freeze, like deer in the headlights. Husband: “Who’s that?” Me: “I don’t know”. 2nd knock...We both jump up, I head toward the bathroom, he lands in the bedroom doorway. Me: “Go see who it is.” Husband: “I got it last time”. Now I’m laughing, tears rolling down my face...apparently we were outta Sanka. 😂😂😂
That's my very first instinct when someone rings the doorbell. "Don't move. Maybe they won't see me." Very different from when we grew up in our Philly neighborhood in the 1970s.
i'm howling and can't breathe anymore this guy is so funny. This was the 1st video I stumbled upon a few weeks ago and watched all of his others. Always cheers me up.
I love this guy! I laugh so hard, because he’s such a great story teller, and the faces he makes 😂😂😂. Everything he says it’s as if he’s lived my life. I wish he’d come to Detroit. I’m the one that hides when the door bell rings and I peak through the blinds. 😅
I've seen this prolly 300 times and I crack up everytime for because hes so physical with everything and hes totally relatable...I born in '86 and i grew up in the 90s i dont remember sanka... but my mom would do the cake withholding thing for "company" and that was what the word was company... in those days.... I say the tragedy of 911 and the boom of tech instilled fear, lack of trust and integrity toward others, and also gave us a lot more info and option to having less REAL relationships... how funny tho.... dude is spot on... it's a different world now in 2020 so true but it's just so awesome that we got a guy who can make light of it and we all can die laughing this is hilarious Sebastian keep smashing it man!!!👊
Army crawl...I tip toe and creep out the curtains thru the tiny slit. If I haven't invited you to my home, then the person at my door is trespassing. Times have changed. Sabastian has the funniest way describing anything, it never gets old.
One of my favorite routines 😂when I was a kid in the 50s and 60s, company was treated like royalty. My mom would always put some kind of cake away in case someone came by. My parents weren’t drinkers, but they always brought the booze out for company. Good times☺️
@@Dachdogoriginal That's very interesting. You would think because you have the best coffee that they wouldn't even look at instant coffee. Thanks for the info.
Those times will come back once people realize that being fearful and negative just makes you depressed. Right now the vast majority of people don't understand that yet.
Omg my sides hurt from laughing n my eyes r watery remembering those days. I'm 59 n it was exciting when family stopped by..... Oh the Sanka , my grandma had that along with the entemanns cake. I wish I can go back so much. I miss my Italian family. No one's left.
MY ABSOLUTE FAV BIT !!! 😂😂 Because it’s SO TRUE! He nailed it ! This is exactly how it was in my parents day while I was growing up in the 70’/80’ VS how it is now ! Doorbell rings now? Everyone knows the drill ! FREEZE! .... look out the peep hole in “stealth mode” then make decision whether to open or not ! 😂😂😂😂. Times have changed !
He nailed it... I'm 52... I vividly recall the 1970's to 1990's doorbell moments... friends & family stopping by to just say hello... come in stay a half hour to hour... have some soda, snacks... walk them out to their car... hugs, say good night... America was much different then...

"Company". Man, been more than a few years since I've heard that term. Used to hear it frequently as a kid.

Not even close. The guy has a whole bag of good jokes. Memorable but prob not his top 5. Hard to rank them though honestly.

You're spot on!!! When it was time to go to bed at night, it was like tranquilizer listing to the family still talking and laughing in the kitchen. And when you smelled the coffee laying in bed, you knew they were staying longer.

These aren’t “jokes” Sebastian is telling. They’re actual real life stories . He makes them funny

So true it really was.
So true! Things back then had some sort of sparkle and chimes. Nowadays, it's like there's a horror movie soundtrack always playing in the background of our daily lives. 😖
@@emm6155 Right? Spending time together was so good! We memorized everyone's number, and if we didn't remember a particular one, we could call an aunt and she'd dictate it to us and make sure we got it right!
You could call anyone at their house and they'd be there, and you'd talk about anything and it was good. You could call grandma just to tell her you cleared a stage in Super Mario Bros. and she'd genuinely rejoice. 😟
I showed this sketch to my mom who was born in the 50's. For her it was a mix of nostalgia, hysterical laughter and the sad realization of the times we live in.
I was born in the 70’s and it’s the same for me.
Also born in the 50s. Spot on.
Doorbell routine absolutely spot on. I grew up in the 50’s-60’s. German family. My mom always had baked cakes, especially on weekends. Friends visited a lot on Sunday afternoons or Saturday. Sanka could be offered or the electric percolator was put on. You were happy for company, especially if they had kids and you could play in the backyd or front if warm. No worries about being abducted!!
Social interaction was abundant.
Fast forward to the present-- eye to eye conversation all but gone at dinner time, if you even eat together. In restaurants adults and kids on phones, texting. No wonder young people can’t string a grammatically correct sentence together. It’s all abbreviations, and smart phone code. Ahhhhh! Now texting is the oral conversation of 50’s to 70’s. Social media is changing young people’s exchanging of social discourse and manners. Internet has its positives, however, I’m glad I was brought up in an era of simplicity, cherishing family, company over, and manners! I hope somehow we can return to a little of that small town life!
Internet has to be shut down...wish it was natiknally turned off on the weekends
True!
He nails it!
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
The physicality Sebastian brings to his shows is incredible and hilarious.
AB-SO-LUTELY! He may not really consider himself a "physical" comedian, but OH does his delivery help his material!
The flip out leg kicks right in the beginning, had me rolling. Crazy good choice
He is good at It!!!
Sebastian is damn funny !!
He repeats his jokes too much. Its like he runs out of material.
We all jumped up in excitement that someone was outside ringing the bell. And I definitely remember the "just in case" coffee cake and the can of Sanka. Sebastian hits the mark every time!!
In those days the doorbell ringing spontaneously was 98% friends/family and 2% “Watchtower” solicitors!
My mother always had a Sara Lee in the freezer in case we had company 😂
As a almost 50 year old....I remember those days....we had company...I loved those days I grew up in...so lucky I did...not saying times were perfect...but I miss those times so bad.
"Those crap muffins? Those are for you people." Man, so relatable! 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I love this guy so much. I'm 49 years old and his whole routine is literally telling the story of my life. I think that's a combination of both the times being different when we were younger and the Italian upbringing/tradition. But he literally brings me back to my youth and makes me laugh hysterically at the same time. Priceless.
Same here. My husband gets a kick out of my stories when I tell him about our Italian upbringing or seeing an Entenmann's in the store, I have to get it, he thinks it is funny how excited I get over it. I never ate them back then, we always had one in the kitchen or if we were out and someone was otw over, my mom would send one of us to go get one. Now, I can't pass by the display stand without picking one up, even if I don't finish it.

“Put the lights on... somebody is here. We got people...” 😂😂😂
OMG!! This skit is EXACTLY how it was in my Greek family in the 60’s and 70’s, and my Mother STILL has SANKA in her pantry!!! And what you described now a days is again, right on point, as I literally would ask that question - did you invite anyone over!!! THIS IS GREAT SKIT!!! I am STILL laughing - watched this abt 20 times - soooo funny!!!
I also remember praying for company so my mom would break out the Sara Lee cake in the freezer. HILARIOUS!!!
@The Orb Queen Pennsylvania 🤣👍🏻
And my Lebanese family as well, that's exactly how it was 👌🏻and exactly how we freak out now 😁
@@TheOrbQueenPennsylvania Now you can buy it yourself and have as much as you want!
Same with my Puerto Rican family. This is hilarious!
I’m 54… I fondly remember family members, coworkers of my father, and neighbors knocking on the door - coming over to visit …and Bonus! if they had kids-even better!! We would go play outside - even at dark … it was just a thing … life as I knew it …so much fun! Little did I know those simple times were just slipping away -and my children and grandchildren would never experience this simple joy.
I loved visiting with “the company”. Looking back : I guess this is why I’ve always made a point to have pastry desserts in the house… cakes/pies…waiting for that unexpected surprise visitor. Feeling nostalgic…
Same! And I do visit neighbors. Took about a year of awkwardness but we are building community in our neighborhood. Takes persistence and reciprocity but still possible if you are intentional😊
"Is that your mother with a SWORD??"
Sebastian is great. He makes old school observational comedy funny in 2020, with a flair.
He is so freaking hysterical. This never gets old. His timing, facial expressions, and body language are perfect.
This is a joke I keep coming back to because it relates to every culture. I played it for my dad and he can’t stop laughing at this one. This segment alone has me checking for this dude everytime. I wish him success he is snapping !!
It’s not even comedy. It’s a legit 1000000% accurate description of life back then
I lost it when he said "Entenmann's" on the table!! My mom is 3rd Gen Italian American and I remember seeing Entenmann's everywhere for the brief time we lived in Chicago with all her relatives. I was too young to really understand, but once Sebastian mentioned it, I about died laughing. As a matter of fact, I can totally relate to his humor and stories now that I am an in my 40's and I look back at my childhood. Thanks Sebastian!

Exactly
Sandi Baby312 right!! It makes me sad my kids will never know how life was.
I remember back in the day, this was true. Entenmann's crumb cake my mother had. True nowadays, I'm exactly like that now who the hell is that ringing the bell? "Everytime I'm doing something..." Let me keep quiet they will leave. 😂😂😂😂
Hilarious take on how sad our world has become, I miss those days
The bit where he's telling his family to be silent after the doorbell rang had me on tears. This guy is hilarious
I can watch 100 times and laugh.... so true. I love this so much.
That’s my wife’s family to a tee. They literally hide and I’m using the word literally as it was meant to be used here.
Bro you’re a genius, this is the same the world over! “Get down Ma...Army crawl!!” 🤣😂😆
Saw Sebastian in Charlotte NC last week. Laughed for an hour and 20 minutes. This man has spent probably 1000’s of hours honing his comedic verbiage and physical motions. A true professional. Hope to see him again. This clip is a classic, though sad to know that that wonderful era is over. Glad I lived it.
Love this guy
was it packed?
@@tuanas458 ,
It was..didn’t quite sell out but very close!
Old days are the best days of our lives. Showing up on your friend or family's door or receiving an unnanouced visit from parents or relatives or friends was indeed one of the best things to happen to us. Sebastian opened up on the beautiful past habits that we wish to have them back.
As a child, I felt really good when friends rang my doorbell just to see if I was there.
This is so true but I miss those days. Life was simpler 🤷🏾♂️
Joshua Carter Life was so good. All this stuff now is too much.
So true.
Wasn’t simpler, it’s easy as heck nowadays. It was better, people were better.
@@MN-ug9me I agree. We traded our regular human activities for the ease of everything. We forgot the wisdom,of an older generation, that warned us of robots taking our lives. And now we hv that easy life and A.I. does it all for us.

This joke makes me both laugh and a bit sad at the same time. Funny as hell because it's so true. And sad because it so true. Would love to go back to these simpler times.

Sebastian is spreading joy around the world in times of mass hysteria.
never forget being invited in to watch MASH! I was six, what is mash?
Now I watch it with MAD PRIDE! ( who hears that theme song now?)
Whose suffering mass hysteria? Certainly not San Luis Obispo County California.
True call. Hysteria. Check out data from the CDC, also easily found in the DHHS web site. In the last couple of years, that's 2019-18, 34,000 Americans died of Influenza. Flu. It's a death rate of 7% out of all Americans who got it bad enough to require hospitalization, which reached the staggering number of 500,000. Total number of Americans diagnosed with the flu last winter was, brace yourself - 16.5 million! 5% of the American people were sick enough with the flu to go see a doctor. 3% of them needed hospitalization, out of that 3 %, 7% kicked the bucket. Nobody gave a rats turd about that.
Btw, though I know overeating is not a physically contagious epidemic, do you know how many Americans died of Obesity? 300,000! 300K for duck's sake! But that's obesity. If you count ALL fat people who died due to constantly stuffing their faces with unhealthy quantities of food, you get 3,000,000!
3 million!!! 1% of the entire American population die each year from overeating.
Corona is children play.
Exactly why I listened! I need a laugh!! 🤣
XmanSully, I agree with you to a certain point. They, the professionals who are experts in disease control, still do not know how it is really spreading. To be cautious is the right way to be thinking. Good hygiene is the number one practice to be implemented. Most people don’t really wash their hands. Especially in hospitals. So, even though your statistics might be right, it doesn’t change the fact that people are being infected and dying. If you survive, it might be awhile for a full recovery. To conclude my thought, media, yes I agree, they are known for pushing rumors. But, to consider this situation as a minor thought or just another contagious disease is a little on the denial side. The virus is spreading and more people are being infected everyday. I say be aware and to thank God or whatever you believe in, everyday is a blessing, to be with your loved family and friends. Today, would be a good day be thankful and laugh as much as you can.
I’m 39, and this was all still a thing when I was a kid. And goddamn how I greatly miss it, and the feeling of community we used to have. It used to be exciting when someone knocked, because it was almost always friends or family. Now I react as if I was startled out of sleep with a fuckin’ cattle prod.
🤣👍🏻
Same 🙋🏻♀️
I remember those days too-I’m 37. Man, good times.
The lady just dying laughing in the background makes this even funnier.
If you like that you should listen to "David Sedaris, Live From Carnegie Hall." You can hear this lady high up in the balcony howling with laughter at David talking about having to buy slacks in the women's department with his sister (Amy Sedaris) and that too made the routine even funnier. Maybe it's the same lady? 😂
Sebastian Maniscalco portrayed this accurately. In the post WW II years, up until about 1995 or so, people "called" on friends and family members. In our Lithuanian household, the rule was steadfast and unchanging. A cup of coffee was in a guest's hands within five minutes and food offered in about 15...30, if they were close enough by blood to have something cooked for them.
Yup. Same with the Swedes. I grew up near Sebastian so most of the stuff he talks about growing up is the exact same for us. Once the 90s were over, everything changed. When I was a kid, our whole street was basically an open door policy. You could eat dinner wherever you wanted and were always welcomed. Same with friends all over when they came by.
Now? Sebastian nailed it haha. I always peak out the window quick from a spot where they can't really see me to see who it is. If I don't know them, I kneel and freeze movement for about 2 minutes.
Agree, same experience as both of you, I grew up in an Iranian family in Germany. What happened to those days man? Things really were better back then, at least in that regard
Now everyone has those (RING) Door cameras.
@@ryanturner8577 That was before the US pushed for mass immigration. Diversity has crippled our neighborhoods
@@Jdb63--Au contraire. Immigration has been the backbone of the development of this country. Those of us who grew up in ,multi-ethnic towns can vouch for the rich heritages that were freely shared--especially the food.
I’m almost 43 years old with kids & this is my most favorite comedy bit of ALL time! I’ve played it at least 100x & shared it with people! It is SO true to my life & how I grew up in a big family & close knit neighborhood, and exactly how I behave now when the doorbell rings😅…we actually even have a sword! 🤣 I am so thankful for the warmth & joy that you’ve brought my family, Mr. Maniscalco! God Bless
This is my favorite piece by him. Love it!! “It’s called company”. Haha
Have you watched "Faith, The Dog"? Hilarious!!
Its the best!!! Too damn funny!
I remember the Entenmann's cake on the kitchen counter....not allowed to touch it ...it was for company..
Princess Chewie My mom did ice cream and German cookies .
Princess Chewie I used to live right down the street from an Entenmanns factory. We had those pastries on a daily basis.
Princess Chewie Entemann's and if you were in Chicago, Heinemann's too. Beautiful.
Princess Chewie , that box on the table was like the damn Mona Lisa...
Look but never touch it!!! Haha
And those particular towels in the bathroom. "Dont use THOSE!!" Mom hands us a stained old towel with a little hole or some edge fraying. LOL!!
Oh the nostalgia. I don’t care what anyone says those were better days.
Agree
And that’s the truth, Ruth.- Señor Love Daddy
I want to cry all the time when I think about the 70s. I would do anything to have those days back.
Better, or ignorance is bliss? Which one...lol?
Absolutely!
This man is a comedic genius and his timing is on point.
One of my favorite comedy bits ever. This describes my mother and I to a T, it's scary accurate. She passed a little over a year ago, but I often think about the time I showed her this and we laughed until we couldn't breathe.
Omgosh! I’ve probably watched this 50 times over the years. Born in 68. Sooooo true on all accounts! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
Best skit EVER!! Omg, this was my house in the late 70's, this got me hooked on you!!!
I love that lady's laugh, whoever ya' are
@@danielgreenleaf commentin' like a dickhead. sounds like a douche.
Pretty sure I saw Sebastian smile after that lady started laughing so hard 😄🤩
This joke is funny but also kinda sad at the same time. I'm older so I miss the days when you could just freely pop up over friends or family's houses or they can pop up over yours without it being awkward.
Hey sweetie how are you doing?
@@david-qf5ck Don’t be creepy.
I'm not even supposed to call my siblings without arranging it by text message first, like an appointment. We're all in our 50s and 60s, but they have really bought into the iPhone culture. I hate these times...
My family is Central American but of Italian decent on both sides and this guy describes exactly how my family reacted to receiving company back in the 80s. The happiness, cake, and the Sanka.
One of his best bits! And it’s totally true. My dad was an Episcopal Priest and in the 70’s and 80’s people just stopped by. We’d put on the coffee and my mom had cookies or Sara Lee pound cake.
Every time a comedian comes and goes, I think to myself: "I'll never find another comedian to replace them." This time I found Sebastian. He makes me laugh with every routine.
Thank you, Sebastian! 😂
Sweet memories 70's - 80's I feel like

I love this part because it is precisely how I remember things back in the days.

Company, Sanka, and Coffee cake... My childhood to a T! 😁
Growing up in the 90s I totally understand this. The doorbell rang we literally would run to the door, open up, Misses Lisa "Oh my gosh! Come on in". Now a large knock on the door and I'm like "is that the cops? What crime am I involved in..... I've done nothing wrong!"
Richard Powell - Yep! Lol. I grew up in the 90s and we would always go to each other's house. Parents would stop by unannounced. Not now, NO way! I'm guilty too though as I don't like company unannounced.
@@sisu413 pssshhhtttttt. Now? I don't like company period 🤣 it always seems to be right in the middle of me trying to get dinner started or something else important. 😄 So then I gotta wait 2 hrs to eat and now I'm hangry. 🤬😆
Richard Powell so true. The doorbell rarely rings here and if it's not a delivery it's usually not good. Unfortunately it has been the cops a few times or a process server

I laughed myself silly over this. I'm 58, and grew up in Queens. This was 100% our life in the 70's and 80's, and we loved it!
Look! It's Aunt Chris and Uncle Ray!
I miss these times. Younger generation will never know what it was like to have company come over.
You have to be his Dad's age in order to get it. Cake was always saved for Company and Sanka was instant decaffeinated coffee which you drank in the evenings. Company dropped in almost any time of the day or night. In today's world we don't answer the door.
I just turned 47 and I get every nuance of this routine, so you have no idea wtf you're talkin bout..
♥️♥️♥️
Those were truly good days, company dropped in anytime unannounced, it was how life was universally!!!
I'm 33 and completely get this routine.. you just have had to grow up before 98'-99'
This was hysterical!! So true, and right on the money. Sebastian tells it like it is, and he gets it. This is nostalgic humor at its best that I can directly relate to. Growing up in the 70's was this way to a tee. The coffee cake and Sanka for company.. classic! Nobody rings your doorbell anymore these days unless they've been vetted. I was rollin'!
This was exactly how we grew up. I truly miss those days. People can say what they want but technology has really ruined community and family.

Teeth brushed, hair still tousled, enjoying caffeine...knock on the door. We freeze, like deer in the headlights. Husband: “Who’s that?” Me: “I don’t know”. 2nd knock...We both jump up, I head toward the bathroom, he lands in the bedroom doorway. Me: “Go see who it is.” Husband: “I got it last time”. Now I’m laughing, tears rolling down my face...apparently we were outta Sanka. 😂😂😂
Wow talk about bringing back some memories. It was EXACTLY like he said it was. Omg im dying and sad at same time cuz those days are just long gone.

I've seen this prolly 300 times and I crack up everytime for because hes so physical with everything and hes totally relatable...I born in '86 and i grew up in the 90s i dont remember sanka... but my mom would do the cake withholding thing for "company" and that was what the word was company... in those days.... I say the tragedy of 911 and the boom of tech instilled fear, lack of trust and integrity toward others, and also gave us a lot more info and option to having less REAL relationships... how funny tho.... dude is spot on... it's a different world now in 2020 so true but it's just so awesome that we got a guy who can make light of it and we all can die laughing this is hilarious

One of my favorite routines 😂when I was a kid in the 50s and 60s, company was treated like royalty. My mom would always put some kind of cake away in case someone came by. My parents weren’t drinkers, but they always brought the booze out for company. Good times☺️
In the 60-70's all homes had a small " bar " with some booze, It was common place to offer a drink to anybody who stopped by to say hello.
