This guy could EASILY HOST THE OSCARS. Wow, what an amazing comedian and i love how effortlessly he engages with the crowd. You could literally just watch him talk to people all day and not be bored.
I would LOVE to see him as a host. But I’m not sure how many American’s are ready for an Italian/Spanish homosexual who can also speak French and does drag host the academy awards 😂 I’d love to see it though. I’m so glad I finally stumbled across him. ❤
My husband is German. It is exactly like that. Not only does he want to know what we will do from the start to finish, each of the things are also fixed, like a contract that you sign with your blood. He goes crazy when I say “well, let’s go with the flow” hahaha
Absolutely 😅 Germans need a clear concept and a precise strategy for basically ANYthing. I'm being perceived as awfully rude for being 10 to 15 minutes late so often (I'm from Germany, but have Polish roots). Everybody REALLY thinks that I plan this upfront, that I am doing it on purpose in order to hurt and disrespect them or being manipulative (!). I'm just more disorganized in contrast to most Germans, DAMMIT!! 😂😂😂
Hahaha! You should see Germans living in Colombia. They learn to talk with strangers on the line at the supermarket, to kiss everyone hello even if they've just met them, to go to a country house to do NOTHING over the weekend, to get to places 5 minutes late and know they'll have to wait. It's a rough adjustment, but they get to a compromise after 7 years.😂
I like that Matteo seems genuinely interested in the people in the audience, not just to riff off of, which of course he does hilariously. The dive into the Italian/French couple was gold.
@@MaximilianvonPinneberg As long as the French guy isn't too French... if he is, he'll try to mess up the Italian recipes by adding butter and cream everywhere... The horror.
I've never seen anyone be able to improvise for 14 minutes keeping the audience engaged the whole time and coming up with jokes that are funnier than staged bits. I'm truly impressed!
In Dutch, your crotch is called your kruis. It means cross, because of the seams in your trousers making a cross. So, cross and crotch are both called kruis. One day, a teacher in our classroom had received a Jesus-necklace in the mail from some Evangelic-promoting-peeps that wanted to give everyone a rosearynecklace and she wore it. But she was a bigbellied and bigbreasted woman and Jesus kept falling in between her breasts and sinking lower, until fully swallowed by them. So, she asked the neighbour if she could have her roseary and brought it to school the next day, putting them together and making a long, very long necklace that fit over her breasts and hung a bit below her bellybutton. Another teacher helped her with some extra clips, thereby making it even longer and at some point, when she tried showing it off (and noticed it was too long) the other teacher asked what was hanging from the necklace. "Jesus hanging on the cross", she answered. The other teacher replied; 'He's hanging on the cross alright...' and pointed at Jesus dangling right in front of her ladyparts. The teacher exclaimed; 'Oh no, it was the tits yesterday and now Jesus on the cross!' and they both got such a giggling attack that it didn't stop for half an hour. I don't know why they were teachers, because we learned jackshit from those two, but I think of the story whenever I see a roseary-necklace.

Regarding fettuccine Alfredo, it WAS invented in Italy at a restaurant in Rome, but it's still very much not a thing in the country and has since become an American thing. Modern fettuccine Alfredo was invented by Alfredo Di Lelio. In 1892, Alfredo Di Lelio began to work in a restaurant that was located in Piazza Rosa and run by his mother Angelina. Di Lelio invented "fettuccine al triplo burro" (later named "fettuccine all'Alfredo" or "fettuccine Alfredo") in 1907 or 1908 in an effort to entice his wife, Ines, to eat after giving birth to their first child Armando. Alfredo added extra butter or "triplo burro" to the fettuccine when mixing it together for her. Piazza Rosa disappeared in 1910 following the construction of the Galleria Colonna/Sordi, and the restaurant was forced to close. Di Lelio later opened his own restaurant, Alfredo alla Scrofa (which still exists today), then called "Alfredo", in 1914 on the via della Scrofa in central Rome. The dish gained popularity in the US when two American actors (Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford) visited the restaurant while on their honeymoon in 1920.
Yes, Matteo visited Alfredo alla Scrofa in Roma over a year ago and posted it. His remaining complaint is that after Hollywood stars brought it to the USA, American versions went awry.
Thanks so much for stitching the short clips back into the original set, and sharing it! The flow, the context, make it all even better, and it was pretty darn great even in bits and pieces.
Matteo is amazing at improv and impressions and brutal hilarious honesty simultaneously. Always feel lucky when I go to the cellar and he is performing.
As an Italian/Sicilian that lives in the UK and speaks French as well, this was a delight. Got to follow in all the languages, but German 😅. Loved the sense of humour, was clever and not offensive at all. Please keep up the good work 😊
This is hands down the funniest and most cultivated American person I've ever seen in my life. I speak/understand French, Italian, German and just to see him switch like that was just mindblowing (especially when he broke into "I have a question for you" in German). Sure, in Europe here, he'd just be another normal guy (albeit SUPER funny), but as an American, this is incredible. WELL DONE!
Handsome, cultured, intelligent, funny & a master of improv comedy. First class in every possible sense. This guy deserves all the praise & accolades. 🎉😍🤩
As an Italian-British with a French boyfriend, I loved this segment. Yes, my boyfriend and I speak mostly English and yes I'm the one learning French, his language 😂
German gay guy here. Matteo, you are hilarious. You're depiction of european cultures or more or less stereotyps are funny as hell and your crowd work.... "ouch" Chefs kiss! You're an example that the "uncultured closed minded amurican!" is just a stereotyp. Loved it, love your personality...
Dutch hetereosexual female here. I want to believe that closeminded muricans are a stereotype, but I keep _only_ encountering those in my city. I live 5 minutes away from Amsterdam, that might be the reason, but OH are they rude and paranoid about us, yelling that they think our houses will collapse on them or that the water is poison without chlorine. Not to mention, the ones that want me to thank them for 'saving them' and then they get upset when I point out that was Canada (thankyou Canada!) If any American are reading this; Send your friendly ones! I bet they exist and I want to meet one. The Germans I've met so far were very friendly btw. Birckenstocks, TheNorthFace-jackets, bicycle-helmets and slightly marching during walking. I love it when a German tourist has practiced their 'dankjewel' even if it sounds like 'Dankawell.' Liebe Grüße von die KäseNachbarn!
@@Widdekuu91 🤣 wow so thats the stereotyps about germans around netherlands. Interessting and some how funny... Yeah its true, here are some groups that digging that style... But not the majority actually. And thats the whole point if stereotyps aren't they? Yeah there are muricans that behaving like that but not the majority in Amerika. Confirmation Bias and all that jazz, I think... groetjes van de aardappelen uit de buurt
@@vincentpollmann3191 Haha, yeah probably, I hope I just ´missed´ a lot of wellbehaved tourists walking around silently that were wellcamouflaged Americans. And Germans for that matter. Although I have yet to see a German misbehave on holiday. Even in Amsterdam I haven´t seen a German "go wild" but who knows in the future :P
@@Widdekuu91 🤣🤣🤣 well what can I say ... some stereotyps are actually true. We are wellbehaving bit just until someone isn't respecting the reservation of a sun lounger at the pool by a towel, placed there in the earlier hours. And that is actually a true thing here.
As a French person who can understand the four langages he used, I had a whale of a time. He ought to know , in the end we always end up using English. My daughter is French and lives in Germany with a Spanish flatmate, guess what...
The bits are always hilarious but whenever he switches languages it’s just honestly really impressive. I’ve got to get my boyfriend to flirt with me in Spanish more
Amo a Matteo! I'm a Colombian-American woman who attended a German school and lived in Italy. I also had a French lawyer boyfriend who spoke English at home. He said he didn't have the patience to speak with me in French 😂😂😂 I completely identified with Matteo!
I've yet to see Matteo perform his set. In both videos I've seen of him, he's always "just" interacting with the crowd and it's totally great! I feel like Matteo is the kind that really works better with a smaller audience. It wouldn't work as well with like 200 people in attendance, having a conversation with a couple people in front. But for sure, if I ever go back to new york, I'll try and catch him performing!
I wholeheartedly DISAGREE with you. Have you ever seen Taylor Tomlinson perform? She shares the same sort of comedic brilliance for crowd work that Matteo does, and she had a Netflix special. Regardless, this is one of the reasons that I cancelled my Netflix account. Netflix shouldn't be considered as the sole arbiter of comedic platforms. Other platforms are producing award-winning content, too.
Omg! I finally got to watch the entire skit he did. I always kept seeing parts and parts only. I love Matteo! He is freaking hilarious and does not hold anything back. Love it! I need to check out his tours to go.
Bro Matteo is so fucking hilarious I'm so glad I found him. Although his vlog videos are interesting I honestly always hope that he uploads more standup clips because they make me die. Especially his crowd work. It's also insane how many languages he speaks, I'm curious if that's from his opera background like he learned a bunch of languages so that he could pronounce the words properly in different songs he sings or if it's completely unconnected. I hope you come do a show in Denver Colorado soon. I saw that it isn't on your tour list and that's a god damn shame.
Kudos for speaking other languages! Knowing about the cultures of other countries gives you the advantage of throwing shade where it hurts and they appreciate it. It says a lot when people from other countries come to see you. You managed to unify this crowd through knowing other languages and found a way to make it work. You ARE cultured by opening up and giving other languages a chance. "A different language is a different vision of life”, as fellow Italian Federico Fellini once said. As for hottest languages, Spanish is definitely up there. It is related to Italian and French after all. Find the right Spanish-speaking person with the right accent and it's all over.
@@zarengurl It doesn't mean anything, many have this stereotype that they are the same thing but it's not like that at all, they are different languages 🤣
Stumbled on this by "accident" in Switzerland. This guy is so funny and what a great improv with the audience. He is so much better than most well known people that waste our time on TV. I speak German, French, Italian, English and Spanish and his language skills and pronunciation are spectacular. I hope to see more from Matteo!
This was really funny! As a German living in France close to Luxembourg and knowing Italian lawyers working there, I must say this was straight on the point. 😂
I’ve watched this so many times, and it’s funny every time! The gay Italian and French couple who speak English to each other at home are definitely cooking fettuccini Alfredo together.
I love that you speak SO many languages xD I'm from Germany so naturally I learned English and French at school but I've started learning Dutch with Duolingo as well. It was really cool to understand every language except for Italian in this video :'D
Same, while I’m also American I speak the same languages Matteo speaks so was easily able to follow all his set! Language is the door to fully understanding people and culture.
If they are ever remaking Inglourious Basterds, but Hans Landa is actually an Italian Fascist officer, then Matteo must play him. He literally speaks all 4 languages needed in the film.
I wake up with serious anxiety a cpl days a week , about 3-4am. So I stumbled across Matteo Lanes vids about a month ago, and I can say that listening to his standup helps to bring the anxiety down, so I can go on with my day. Thankyou Matteo
as someone that is african american and has italians married in to the family, a sister that is learning german and is currently learning spanish, i feel like this truly captures the essence of being in a multicultural family
@@markwhiteraven Obviously it's a response to my prize-worthy reply. Kidding. The fact that it's ambiguous and asks you to text suggests that it's a scam. Text so-called Official whoever at your own risk!
You really got the difference between Germans and Italians down. My brother used to work at a rental car agency at LAX, and he got a lot of customers from Italy and Germany. The Italians would arrive with basically no plans, and so it was easy to sell them upgrades, but the Germans had every minute of their trip already planned and paid for. I like to travel more like the Italians and like to keep my options open, although I did have my hotel reservations made in advance before going to Italy, along with museum tickets. But in Costa Rica, I only had a rental car and then traveled where I wanted when I wanted.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this was fantastic!!! i love the crowdwork! amazing to have someone SO good at that AND their normal material. (also impressed with all the languages. i'm still trying to get a few to that basic conversational level. french and german among them.)
That is the most impressive comedy set I've ever seen! Four languages and you kept an entire room full of (mostly) Americans in stitches, in spite of the fact that they didn't understand half of what you said, just by riffing off the top of your head. You really are brilliant, in addition to being hot as hell!
Just discovered this guy and netflix MUST give him a special! Absolutely great material. Idk why netflix thinks straight guys might not be interested in him. Comedy is comedy independently from where it comes. If its funny, its funny, and this guy is hilarious.
Matteo? Your assessment of the german people is 100% on point. Sometimes i wake up at night, and wander onto the Autobahn, only to measure if the spaces between the white guidelines are consistant in lengh or not. My clock adjusts its own time according to my poop schedule. We invented the checkered quad paper, but quickly abandoned it again, because it was too chaotic for us. Our foreplay is an half hour of terms of service pages read out loud.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm a Colombian who attended a German school. I can identify with the Autobahn measurements and the poop schedule. I've also straightened paintings at my ENT Doctor's office. My French partner used to call me "Monkey" after Monk the TV series. I must admit I looked at him surprised... you mean it shows? All my classmates are the same. We're strange half breeds who can party like Latins and be spontaneous, but don't mess with our work output with a text during office hours.
My late mother was born in America but she grew up with parents that were Very French (they spoke English but if they got into a fight with each other, my mom said they'd switch from English to French within seconds LOL)...so when my mom would get mad, she'd be very verbal, BUT at times she'd hold things if she was pissed at someone until she'd blow up like Vesuvius. I remember her being pissed off at my sister when my dad was dying of cancer and she didn't come to see him before he died...WELL after the service at the cemetery she got her and her husband a few feet away from my father's open grave and blew up at them like an atomic bomb. That's the kind of temper she had lol
I found this channel via YT shorts few days ago and I'm binging all the videos. I just love the absolute menace that is Matteo. Love the humour, love how open he is about everything. I was never into stan-up comedy but you won me over with your incredible sense for comedy and those comebacks.
Get this man a Netflix special! I found Matteo from watching his episodes on Andrew Schulz's Flagrant podcast, and I've been a fan ever since. Also, I hope Matteo comes back to Chicago soon to do a show!
He got to the Germans and I had this sigh of relief like „ah thank goodness I understand this bit“ but tbf the Italian and the French was still funny even if I only caught every odd word 😂
“Oh… hi boyfriend.” Absolutely killed me 🤣
the obvious disappointment....
Matteo is so animated, I could understand 80% of the conversations in languages I don't speak

German gay guy here. Matteo, you are hilarious. You're depiction of european cultures or more or less stereotyps are funny as hell and your crowd work.... "ouch" Chefs kiss! You're an example that the "uncultured closed minded amurican!" is just a stereotyp. Loved it, love your personality...
Dutch hetereosexual female here. I want to believe that closeminded muricans are a stereotype, but I keep _only_ encountering those in my city. I live 5 minutes away from Amsterdam, that might be the reason, but OH are they rude and paranoid about us, yelling that they think our houses will collapse on them or that the water is poison without chlorine. Not to mention, the ones that want me to thank them for 'saving them' and then they get upset when I point out that was Canada (thankyou Canada!)
If any American are reading this; Send your friendly ones! I bet they exist and I want to meet one.
The Germans I've met so far were very friendly btw. Birckenstocks, TheNorthFace-jackets, bicycle-helmets and slightly marching during walking. I love it when a German tourist has practiced their 'dankjewel' even if it sounds like 'Dankawell.' Liebe Grüße von die KäseNachbarn!
@@Widdekuu91 🤣 wow so thats the stereotyps about germans around netherlands. Interessting and some how funny...
Yeah its true, here are some groups that digging that style...
But not the majority actually. And thats the whole point if stereotyps aren't they? Yeah there are muricans that behaving like that but not the majority in Amerika. Confirmation Bias and all that jazz, I think...

@@vincentpollmann3191 Haha, yeah probably, I hope I just ´missed´ a lot of wellbehaved tourists walking around silently that were wellcamouflaged Americans. And Germans for that matter. Although I have yet to see a German misbehave on holiday. Even in Amsterdam I haven´t seen a German "go wild" but who knows in the future :P
@@Widdekuu91 🤣🤣🤣 well what can I say ... some stereotyps are actually true. We are wellbehaving bit just until someone isn't respecting the reservation of a sun lounger at the pool by a towel, placed there in the earlier hours.
And that is actually a true thing here.
@@Widdekuu91 by northface you mean jack Wolfskin?
As a French person who's lived in several European countries, this was hilarious. xD
As and Italian person who has lived in a few European countries, I agree 😂
As a French person who can understand the four langages he used, I had a whale of a time. He ought to know , in the end we always end up using English. My daughter is French and lives in Germany with a Spanish flatmate, guess what...
Same! Understanding all of those languages makes it even funnier. He needs a European tour.
Matteo just kills me!!!! He's sweet and snarky at the same time.
as an Italian, this was a blast. what a great piece of stand up to feel represented! loved your european culture
As a swede, laughing out loud while watching this alone, is top grade. This guy is hilarious!
The bits are always hilarious but whenever he switches languages it’s just honestly really impressive. I’ve got to get my boyfriend to flirt with me in Spanish more
Do you like bits?
The completely defeated "bonsoir" made my soul leave my body!!
I was so impressed Matteo speaks Spanish and Italian, but now French too?! Amazing!
And German! Wtf
his french is not bad either! it's pretty beginner level and he's doing okay on the accent, he just sounds a little Italian when he speaks french 😂
@@rencat7075 an Italian accent is better than an English accent in French
@@poppyseeds439
Mais non! Pourquoi tu dis ça?😉
My boyfriend and I watched this last night and we laughed so hard!! What a talent. Matteo is truly funny and brilliant.
Amo a Matteo! I'm a Colombian-American woman who attended a German school and lived in Italy. I also had a French lawyer boyfriend who spoke English at home. He said he didn't have the patience to speak with me in French 😂😂😂
I completely identified with Matteo!
He’s an immediate-release antidepressant! God bless you Matteo ❤
You like it when your daddy Matteo gives ya release do ya?
YES!!!!
🎉
Matteo doesn't need a set. This is super entertaining and engaging as is.
I've yet to see Matteo perform his set. In both videos I've seen of him, he's always "just" interacting with the crowd and it's totally great! I feel like Matteo is the kind that really works better with a smaller audience. It wouldn't work as well with like 200 people in attendance, having a conversation with a couple people in front.
But for sure, if I ever go back to new york, I'll try and catch him performing!
I wholeheartedly DISAGREE with you.
Have you ever seen Taylor Tomlinson perform? She shares the same sort of comedic brilliance for crowd work that Matteo does, and she had a Netflix special.
Regardless, this is one of the reasons that I cancelled my Netflix account. Netflix shouldn't be considered as the sole arbiter of comedic platforms. Other platforms are producing award-winning content, too.
@@Wildrosesmyl Thanks for your input!
I am french and as many french people I adore our Italian cousins, they have very strong listening skills and I highly appreciate that. Unrelated.
Omg! I finally got to watch the entire skit he did. I always kept seeing parts and parts only. I love Matteo! He is freaking hilarious and does not hold anything back. Love it! I need to check out his tours to go.
13:23 "After our meal we'll discuss things that make us laugh. Ha ha." How does he do this 😂
Bro Matteo is so fucking hilarious I'm so glad I found him. Although his vlog videos are interesting I honestly always hope that he uploads more standup clips because they make me die. Especially his crowd work. It's also insane how many languages he speaks, I'm curious if that's from his opera background like he learned a bunch of languages so that he could pronounce the words properly in different songs he sings or if it's completely unconnected.
I hope you come do a show in Denver Colorado soon. I saw that it isn't on your tour list and that's a god damn shame.
I love a multilingual artist of any type. He's hilarious.
I can’t watch his comedy enough.
So quick and genuine and truly funny.
Kudos for speaking other languages! Knowing about the cultures of other countries gives you the advantage of throwing shade where it hurts and they appreciate it. It says a lot when people from other countries come to see you. You managed to unify this crowd through knowing other languages and found a way to make it work. You ARE cultured by opening up and giving other languages a chance. "A different language is a different vision of life”, as fellow Italian Federico Fellini once said. As for hottest languages, Spanish is definitely up there. It is related to Italian and French after all. Find the right Spanish-speaking person with the right accent and it's all over.
Matteo also speaks Spanish coz he's half Mexican lol
I just really love how you can just talk to your audience (in four languages nonetheless) and still be so damn funny.
3 semesters of Italian class in the states, and I actually understood some of what Matteo was saying.
10 years of spanish and same 😉
3 months of studying Italian while abroad in Florence and I somehow understood all of it. Never thought that would happen 🥲. Definitely a miracle!
Good job! Sure, they weren't talking about very complicated things, but that's still an accomplishment!
@@zarengurl It doesn't mean anything, many have this stereotype that they are the same thing but it's not like that at all, they are different languages 🤣
@@gabrielemangialavori8732 all but 1 with a common Latin root that makes it easier for other Latin root language speakers to understand.
I love your charm and even when you say something about "Italians" or "Germans" it is never insulting.
So nice to hear multiple languages, it breaks the glass walls of the American audience.
AND YOU CHOSE ENGLISH?! god this has me wheezing 😂❤
This is the best 14 minutes of improvised stand-up I have ever seen 🙌
the more matteo content, the better!!! upload another special asap, and more videos with nick!!!
THIS, A THOUSAND TIMES.
Matteo is so funny. I love to hear him talk. Love when he starts speaking different languages.
Stumbled on this by "accident" in Switzerland. This guy is so funny and what a great improv with the audience. He is so much better than most well known people that waste our time on TV. I speak German, French, Italian, English and Spanish and his language skills and pronunciation are spectacular. I hope to see more from Matteo!
Hello from Switzerland as well. Just stumbled over Matteo. He's such a gem. ☺️
This was really funny! As a German living in France close to Luxembourg and knowing Italian lawyers working there, I must say this was straight on the point. 😂
At this point I just want to go to NYC to see if Matteo can speak Danish. He's so cultured I wouldn't be surprised 😁
Jeg bor i NYC. Du ka godt besøge mig og taler dansk fordi der bliver ikke nogen at snakke med…
I’ve watched this so many times, and it’s funny every time! The gay Italian and French couple who speak English to each other at home are definitely cooking fettuccini Alfredo together.
I love that you speak SO many languages xD
I'm from Germany so naturally I learned English and French at school but I've started learning Dutch with Duolingo as well. It was really cool to understand every language except for Italian in this video :'D
Same, while I’m also American I speak the same languages Matteo speaks so was easily able to follow all his set! Language is the door to fully understanding people and culture.
veel succes met Nederlands leren :)
@@jonavanderpal Dank je!! :)
If they are ever remaking Inglourious Basterds, but Hans Landa is actually an Italian Fascist officer, then Matteo must play him. He literally speaks all 4 languages needed in the film.
I wake up with serious anxiety a cpl days a week , about 3-4am. So I stumbled across Matteo Lanes vids about a month ago, and I can say that listening to his standup helps to bring the anxiety down, so I can go on with my day. Thankyou Matteo
I can only wish to be as cultured & funny as Matteo is, what a treat.
I am screaming at the big sweater “ u know what’s funny?!” 😂😆
Matteo: “What do I have to do in order to impress the French? Go back in time and be born there?”
It would help.
Moderately
Not only was this fucking IMPRESSIVE AS HELL, it was also funny as FUCK. What a natural. Well done matteo! ❤🙌🏼
as someone that is african american and has italians married in to the family, a sister that is learning german and is currently learning spanish, i feel like this truly captures the essence of being in a multicultural family
Bro's just up there babysitting Europe
This is brilliant Matteo, I love the way you interact with the audience and still manage to squeeze your set material in there.
You're probably right, but we don't see any of his set material in this clip.
Is this a response to my compliment or the remark by alwaysuseless? 😅
@@markwhiteraven Obviously it's a response to my prize-worthy reply. Kidding. The fact that it's ambiguous and asks you to text suggests that it's a scam. Text so-called Official whoever at your own risk!
I'll have to admit: Matteo has a dang good smile man
matteo's crowdwork is always the best in my opinion, he is so qui k with it and always gets a cackle out of people
@OfficialMatteoLane wow... definetly not a scam... because nowadays we all use emojis unironically, anyways get lost ❤️
You really got the difference between Germans and Italians down. My brother used to work at a rental car agency at LAX, and he got a lot of customers from Italy and Germany. The Italians would arrive with basically no plans, and so it was easy to sell them upgrades, but the Germans had every minute of their trip already planned and paid for. I like to travel more like the Italians and like to keep my options open, although I did have my hotel reservations made in advance before going to Italy, along with museum tickets. But in Costa Rica, I only had a rental car and then traveled where I wanted when I wanted.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this was fantastic!!! i love the crowdwork! amazing to have someone SO good at that AND their normal material. (also impressed with all the languages. i'm still trying to get a few to that basic conversational level. french and german among them.)
Je suis prof de français et j'approuve le français que notre cher Matteo utilise. Bravo! 😄
Stay in France please
You are an optimistic teacher ;) C'était plutôt bof
Je pense que c’était bon…mais, je suis pas prof et je parle français depuis seulement deux ans 😅
@@JustBeingAwesome MDR tu n'es pas français pour rien 😂🤭
Depuis l'année prochaine j'étudiais francais pour quatre sémestres à l'université et le francais de Matteo est plus mieux que le mienne!
I'm so glad I got to see all these clips together. This is really an amazing set.
Are you saying you actually got to see his entire performance at this location? I'd be surprised, but happy for you, if that were the case.
As a half french/half italian, I thoroughly enjoyed this x)
That is the most impressive comedy set I've ever seen! Four languages and you kept an entire room full of (mostly) Americans in stitches, in spite of the fact that they didn't understand half of what you said, just by riffing off the top of your head. You really are brilliant, in addition to being hot as hell!
Just discovered this guy and netflix MUST give him a special! Absolutely great material. Idk why netflix thinks straight guys might not be interested in him. Comedy is comedy independently from where it comes. If its funny, its funny, and this guy is hilarious.
Matteo? Your assessment of the german people is 100% on point. Sometimes i wake up at night, and wander onto the Autobahn, only to measure if the spaces between the white guidelines are consistant in lengh or not. My clock adjusts its own time according to my poop schedule. We invented the checkered quad paper, but quickly abandoned it again, because it was too chaotic for us. Our foreplay is an half hour of terms of service pages read out loud.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm a Colombian who attended a German school. I can identify with the Autobahn measurements and the poop schedule.
I've also straightened paintings at my ENT Doctor's office. My French partner used to call me "Monkey" after Monk the TV series. I must admit I looked at him surprised... you mean it shows? All my classmates are the same. We're strange half breeds who can party like Latins and be spontaneous, but don't mess with our work output with a text during office hours.
This is legit one of the most hilarious pieces I've watched on TH-cam. This is insane. LOL
My late mother was born in America but she grew up with parents that were Very French (they spoke English but if they got into a fight with each other, my mom said they'd switch from English to French within seconds LOL)...so when my mom would get mad, she'd be very verbal, BUT at times she'd hold things if she was pissed at someone until she'd blow up like Vesuvius. I remember her being pissed off at my sister when my dad was dying of cancer and she didn't come to see him before he died...WELL after the service at the cemetery she got her and her husband a few feet away from my father's open grave and blew up at them like an atomic bomb. That's the kind of temper she had lol
Being French is not a personnality trait. Your mother clearly had anger issues.
This guy truly deserves his success because he's brilliant in so many ways. I wish he was my best friend.
i love how he just interacts with people in the crowd as if hes been friends with them for a while
I love that fettuccine Alfredo joke! And the way it came back to haunt him 😂😂
My girlfriend and I are Dutch and German...I don't think anyone's ever gonna complain about us speaking english with each other😂
Not to complain, but ... Why speak English? Dutch is just mispronounced German.
@@alwaysuseless A very valid point, we're pretty lazy for not having learned each other's language yet 😅
😂
Omg Matteo is so cultured!😂
He spoke Darlene I was impressed. 😂
love how he openly admits he was flirting while also insulting everyone -kindly, lol
I found this channel via YT shorts few days ago and I'm binging all the videos. I just love the absolute menace that is Matteo. Love the humour, love how open he is about everything. I was never into stan-up comedy but you won me over with your incredible sense for comedy and those comebacks.
Oh my God I lost it. I lost it. The Blair witch in the corner on Duolingo. I lost it.😂 🤣
Matteo! You are on fire here! Have not laughed this hard in ages! Grazi!
Get this man a Netflix special! I found Matteo from watching his episodes on Andrew Schulz's Flagrant podcast, and I've been a fan ever since.
Also, I hope Matteo comes back to Chicago soon to do a show!
He's so talented. 2:04 The sigh followed by the "Bonsoir" had me in stitches😂😂
He got to the Germans and I had this sigh of relief like „ah thank goodness I understand this bit“ but tbf the Italian and the French was still funny even if I only caught every odd word 😂
