Literally 2 years ago my son was in pre-k and after his first day at school he came home and I was asking him new friends names, he said ‘I met a friend called potato “ I laughed for a solid evening telling him there was no way, and he swore blind that was his name 😂 and yes weeks later found out his name was also Matteo
I've just said matteo and potato, several times outloud.. . and Im scottish so not even American... and its kinda the same .. for me.. the lip movement is different only at the start .. between the two...where I kinda puff out the "pu" sound... and that's as in 'pu'-tate-o......and 'mu-tate-o' ! so maybe same in American ?
@Sarahlouisejoyce8 lol that's awesome! My daughter had a friend named "Lemon" in class for almost all of 1st grade. I kept saying that can't be her name? Well it's cute so if you say so...lol. Found out it was Lennon 😄
Kids can be so adorable with name pronunciation. I used to play with a five year old cousin (I think she was a cousin; This was like 20, 25 years ago) of a former girlfriend of my uncle who would call me "Germany." I thought it was the cutest thing. Every time she saw me she'd yell "Germany!" and run up to me. Also, I can't ask my uncle what the kid's relation to her was because he's no longer with us and I forgot which girlfriend it was. Plus I haven't seen the kid for a long time now, but she'd be full grown. Heck, I've even forgotten the kid's name at this point. I'm bad with names. I'll forget a name I heard two days ago, let alone two decades ago.
When I saw the thumbnail, I was worried he would roast his past self. Like, we are who we are, you know? I would hate to think my 10+ year old self would talk shit about me doing my best.

@@erintherapyI don't talk s*** about my ten-year-old self trying to do my best I just wish the people surrounding my ten-year-old self had given me a little bit more confidence. My 63 year old self is still talkingshit when I'm doing my very best. Sorry that was a bit deep for a Sunday morning. I will say I was a very adorable ten-year-old self. What a little sweetie with the biggest heart. I'm happy to hear that you were loving with your young self.❤
These jokes were also funny they're very difficult to top. Ellen always included her best jokes all the way thru her stand up. I think comedians are like Rock Stars. Fans want to here the old faves.
That you can still hit even close to that (note wise), is impressive. You were great back then and your output has only matured and developed with you. Awesome.
"I was doing impressions cause I had no jokes". I agree and how refreshing to hear someone who's reasonnably critical of their old self ! You also recognized the funny bits whereas most people only talk about the bad stuff.
@@oscah_whisky my bf is a musician. He plays 23 instruments and thinks in 3/4 time and all that. And I just hear noise. It dumbfounds me how much there really is to music. And while I still obviously find these notes impressive I will never fully understand how amazing it really is
@@oscah_whisky I'm so glad! I always hope to bring a smile to people's faces. Im an abstract painter so I love talking color theory back at him and make him just as confused haha
EXCITED for the special. Honestly, I laughed at the old routine. There are DEFINITELY comics whose start was really unformed- a little mortifying- but his building blocks were all there.
I have to say that even then you could see the talent Matteo. You have worked hard to sharpen your skills, timing etc. , but the core talent shows. Happy PRIDE!
Your old set was very funny! The potato joke had me in tears. Will definitely be tuning in to see your special. Btw… I totally thought you were 25 now. You look so young! ❤️
Love that you did this. You do realize that you're self-conscious (and thus more critical of yourself at times than the rest of us). Just saw hairplugs and heartaches and count NOT stop laughing dude. My face hurt and my stomach hurt at the end of that. Awesome material!!!
You are brilliant! I’m going through all of “Inside the closet”. Can’t get enough of it. Makes my entire day go by so much faster and it puts a big smile on my face! ❤❤❤
Aww I remember this Matteo Lane!! I loved your comedy when you were in your twink era 😂 so I’m so excited for your special and so happy for all your success! You better WORK! Looking out for your next LA show!
You are doing a great job. I hope you have people in your life that make you feel appreciated and cared for. Also, I think you have a great singing voice, then and now.
Matteo I met you when you performed at a club I worked at, and youve always been hilarious and smooth. Good for you Im glad you're enjoying your old gems, these are fun and it's cool to hear how the great jokes started
Dude it's incredible you can look back on this and see your good points and not be too harsh on yourself. I see videos of myself from my facebook timeline 10 years ago and i just CANNOT deal with it xD And that's just from me talking to my family/friends making dumb jokes and stuff not doing like proper professional stand up comedy. You were great for only just a year in, and i still found it funny now.
It is great to see you use the same jokes and I can see the improvement and the change. I mean you are awesome no matter what but I recognize some of the jokes from this video that I have seen you do recently and the confidence is completely different! Love it!!!
As a bald guy I definitely understand the affinity for ball caps. In a weird twist, though, I only wear mine when my (remaining) hair is grown out a bit because it emphasizes the bald spots so much more. It doesn't really bother me when my head's shaved/buzzed. I let my hair grow out about five inches last winter and I looked fkn ridiculous.
"Is he French?" Matteo, you and Phil Hanley are far and away my current favorite comedians. Hope you play the Bay Area or Sacramento on your West coast swing. Have a fabulous time in Europe.
I just need to thank you Matteo for this video! As someone who has been half-assed doing open mic nights for a few years, this really shows me that there's hope. You were funny back then and you're even better now! I may not get to the level you're at (Because I'm reaching "elder gay" status) but you've shown that being your authentic self can open doors!
I'm convinced that it's the people who put themselves out there before everything is polished and perfect that go the farthest, You were funny then and hilarious now! next step world domination
Matteo, that wasn't the crowd being nice, that was you being hysterical! Your act is much more relaxed and polished now, so you are looking at your past from a very different perspective. You were very funny then, and absolutely brilliant now. Try not to be so hard on yourself.
Darling, I am proud of being here with you in a video, please, imagine I am next to you while you review your own videos, and was that person telling you how happy it makes me see your growth, how strong and determined you looked, how willing, how cute and random, talented, random is good when instincts are present. I see the same amazing person, and with so much energy, masculine energy, that's why people tells your look was or is "straight" is because you have a strong masculine or active, creative in an impulsive and volatile way, that is not random but instinctual, it's a skill, and I love it!

Seriously though, that opera opening joke was perfection.
mateo wearing an obey cap.....amazing
+t
That’s what I’m sayin
Definitely a product of the mid 2010s 😅
I was like "what's with this st8 "acting" guy?
What does the obey hat mean?
Don’t be so hard on yourself - we laughed all the way through your old set!

he should be har on himself, he's quite bad.
Matteo is giving unwashed deli worker realness in that Carolines set. I'll have the corned beef on rye, Julio.
😂 I'm dying that you said that! I was thinking Greek diner dishwasher.
@@kenburns8721 Hahaha omg that's even more on point! 🤣
@@kenburns8721emphasis on “Greek”
Loving all the versions of Potato Lane!❤🎉❤
You are amazing! It's always hard to look back at ourselves. You have bigger balls than most people out here.
I second this! ❤
Imagine being so sad and desperate for attention you react...to yourself.......
“IS HE FRENCH? What’s going on?” 🤣🤣🤣
Most of these jokes were all you could find of his comedy online. I'm happy he's started releasing new stuff online.
These jokes were also funny they're very difficult to top. Ellen always included her best jokes all the way thru her stand up. I think comedians are like Rock Stars. Fans want to here the old faves.

I love that some of those jokes are still in rotation

This is why I love comedy. I woke up in a *mood* at 7 and now I'm laughing my ass off at 8. Love ya Matteo, keep it up!
Same! But in a mood at 6:00, laughing at 7:00 😅
"why am I yelling?" - every performer watching their old stuff
Matteo doing vocal prep and not knowing he still has it is funny, he's so theatrical.
Not only did he sing the O Mio Babbino Caro, he sang it up a whole step and nailed the upper B-flat. Jeez.🙃
Me who knows nothing about music but likes the pretty noise:
Yes
@@Dukedogdog Fair!😅 At the end of the day, does it sound good? This is the eternal question.😄

His voice is so beautiful I love him
It is really cool to see how much more comfortable you've become, but you already were so good that it's just incredible to see.
“I better werk” 😂
😂 the little “I better werk!” I love that
As Katya said, if you don’t feel embarrassed by ur previous work
Where is the growth
You have been hilarious all along! Looking forward to the new special!!! xoxo
Okay the Britney and Christina bit is hysterical 🤣👏👏👏
My first year in stand up was not nearly this good, I had to delete all evidence. It's just a show of what a gift you have
Thank you so much for the laughs! We all need the relief from the daily struggles. Hugs.
With the decor this looks like it's from the early 80s.
Can't wait for the special!
EXCITED for the special. Honestly, I laughed at the old routine. There are DEFINITELY comics whose start was really unformed- a little mortifying- but his building blocks were all there.
He was already a sweet charm boy back then❤

That Michelle Wolf anecdote/impression ended me💀 Really looking forward to the special ❤️❤️✨
😂 thanks for sharing, potato 😂 can’t wait to watch the special on YT.❤

I am obsessed with you like seriously 😂
You are brilliant! I’m going through all of “Inside the closet”. Can’t get enough of it. Makes my entire day go by so much faster and it puts a big smile on my face! ❤❤❤
What is Inside the Closet please?
Is it possible that Matteo looks... younger now than he did 11 years ago?
Probably taking better care of himself 😂 whenever folks look better in their 30s, they were wrecking themselves every weekend in their 20s
The video quality and lighting dulls his skin vs. his setup now.
It's the hair implant haha
The new hair, and not skipping arms at the gym has done wonders 😂
Yes. It's called success, money and plastic surgeries
solid Michelle Wolf impression. I also laughed at the potato line. I liked it!
Aww I remember this Matteo Lane!! I loved your comedy when you were in your twink era 😂 so I’m so excited for your special and so happy for all your success! You better WORK! Looking out for your next LA show!
You have always been hilarious and I can't wait for your new special !!
Thank you for making such fun content for youtube! And for the second special coming so fast after the first :) 🎉
One year in… that’s crazy. So talented.
Hilarious man with a good heart, and GREAT ARMS.
What's NOT to love?? 💯🔥
673! For fans like me that have only known you for a short time, this was really cool to watch your old stuff.
Looking forward to watching Hair plugs & Heartache on June 11th. 😂
It’s amazing to see your growth looking back! Thanks for sharing Matteo
You are doing a great job. I hope you have people in your life that make you feel appreciated and cared for.
Also, I think you have a great singing voice, then and now.
I love that he read himself by saying first that they’re all new jokes.
Matteo I met you when you performed at a club I worked at, and youve always been hilarious and smooth. Good for you Im glad you're enjoying your old gems, these are fun and it's cool to hear how the great jokes started

Thank you for posting. Loved the new special.
This is so neat! I love seeing the evolution of where you started and how you've grown.
I"m so fuckin stoked for this special!!!
Dude people weren't being kind they were laughing because the content and your performance was funny! And it still is.
We just saw you in Tampa recently and loved your set! Can't wait to see the special on Sunday! (We're going to be laughing our asses off on a plane!)
I remember when I first saw this set from Matteo, I thought for sure he would end up on Broadway and/or in a sitcom. He had good comedy instincts❤
It is great to see you use the same jokes and I can see the improvement and the change. I mean you are awesome no matter what but I recognize some of the jokes from this video that I have seen you do recently and the confidence is completely different! Love it!!!
Fabulous then, fabulous now! I luv ya, Matteo!

I love that you did this! So good! Please do another one of these vids where you watch an older stand up! 🤘🏼
You could do the same set ten years later and let us see the difference ⭐️
I smiled this whole video. So great to see where you started. Love ❤
This was so much fun to watch! Love you pal. ❌⭕️❌⭕️
that Britney impression is great for how excessive it is

That aria is one of my favorite operatic pieces. I love it. You perform it well.
I love you so much. Thank you for existing.
Funny as ever, be proud of how far you’ve come, just imagine where you’ll be in 10 more years! ❤❤❤
His singing is legit, some great bits
This was great, looking forward to the new special 💪
You actually have an amazing singing voice!!!!!!!!
Your old set was hilarious 😂. I can't wait to see your new joint🎉
I think you looked pretty damn comfortable!
So glad you're putting out your own stuff. We greatly appreciate it. Lots of love!
You are hillarious. Cant wait for the special. Please come to Australia 🇦🇺
The Britney impression was actually amazing

matteo's laugh is so contagious. love it.
Oh man, Matteo is soo funny!
I fell in love with that Potato joke, I still like to call you Potato when I comment.
You're killing it, Mateo. 😊❤
Matteo, you still make half these jokes in your newer videos. There's a reason you've reached the current height you're at
yeah! Can't wait for the special!
This was amazing to see
Love you Matteo! Can't wait to see the new special.

Amazing to see you’ve been working hard for ten years to achieve overnight viral success. And that you persisted making the moustache cool again 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao he got better looking as he aged. I'm shook!
It's cool seeing how far you have come, thanks for sharing! Oh, and the salt & pepper grey is really working for you!
How far you’ve gone.. love your stand ups!! so funny😂
Saw your show in San Antonio Texas, we laughed our asses off
EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!!!! (For Matteo's upcoming special)
