That's what makes these episodes great. It's not based on what people are but what people think they are. They could have never told a joke in their life but think they're a comedian and go on this show. Lol.
"Comedians don't want to have a conversation, they want you to talk long enough to give them an opening." You just described every conversation at family parties with my Uncle
I love hpw Erik is clearly so used to people not laughing at his jokes that the moment he finishes one he immediately starts trying to hype it and cheering and making noise
For real. Back in high school I had this one friend who would make a joke and immediately after look to everyone in the room and say “isn’t that hilarious/isn’t it funny?” EVERY SINGLE TIME. Wanted to punch the motherf*cker but he was like 6’5 and I’m 5’9 so I wouldn’t be able to reach him anyways 😂
Yea I'm 100% convinced that Erik or whatever is just one of those guys who reads up on the history of comedy and all the technical aspects, but doesn't have a funny bone in his body.
In my few minutes of the show, that you shared with me, it has helped me understand the difference between "trying to be a comedian" and "being a comedian".
Indeed it did. Five minutes on stage at an open mic will impress that, too. The way the one guy on the end treated it like it was a competition of comics is despicable. He seemed to be the type to hear "I'm not here to make friends," on reality shows over the years and nothing in his brain clicked that this might make him an awful person to be around.
I think Erik should work more on his material than complaining about other people not knowing technical terms of comedy. None of these people seem to be funny but he's giving me real "the audience just needs to get a sense of humor" vibes.
Isn't a millenial born between 1984-1996? Or close to those dates? Erik is a damn millenial! Also I hate jokes that rely on picking on generations. They are just played and tired.
@@chilibeer3912 I could tolerate and/or respect some dude lecturing me on the particulars of a certain job if I had any reason to believe he was any good at that job.
Have to agree. He very much seems like one of those people that got reported to HR on a job at some point and tells everyone else to get a sense of humor.
I met that Tyler guy once at a comedy show in some hipster video store in Echo Park. He was one of the acts and he had a pretty good set. We talked afterwards about the whole local punk rock scene in LA he's a pretty cool guy.
It's made in a way where everyone splits the winnings (or the mole gets all of it if still there) so the games usally go down to just 2 people cause they want as much money as possible That's why they got upset at the new rule about getting less money when voting out non moles
The fact that the only one of these people id wanna go see live is tylers baguette stand up, yet hes the second one out, may say a lot about my sense of humor xD
Nope it says a lot about everyone else being bad lol. Anyone who watches comedy could tell he was a comedian off the bat with his self deprecating answers to questions. Nobody who is good at standup loves themselves 100% lmao
The chiropractor joke was EVERYTHING I love that Michael has never had it thrown back at him....but didn't have to explain that at all from his reaction 😂
The mole for me was the first person I guessed. Soon as she mentioned where she did comedy and no mention of open mic at all was a huge red flag for me. Then stating family parties etc, yeah, no way any comedian who has done any of the grind would have said that imo
Depends on who the comedians are. Joe Rogan always talks about how much he likes when his comedian friends are just chilling out and trying to make each other laugh. I guess the difference is that they are already very successful in their profession so there’s not a feeling of having something to prove that puts a chip on your shoulder.
A fun game for this one would've been, Take each one of the contestants individually into the studio and before they meet up tell each one of them that its a gig and the person they're standing next to is a audience member from the team. Then sit back and grab the pop corn when each of them feels they're getting heckled by the person standing beside them.
I stumbled upon your videos randomly one day and though I don't typically watch this type of content, I like your channel. Content creators of this genre usually seem totally not genuine/artificial so I can't watch more than 30 seconds usually. You've got the quality and character to really grow your channel and I just want to say good luck and keep it up. Im enjoying the videos.
Erik is for sure one of those comedians that just makes everyone hate them by constantly trying to one-up everyone with how much they know about comedy while remaining completely unfunny.
I watched this whole video and I still don't understand how that game works and I'm also not curious enough to figure out what is supposed to happen. They got together a bunch of people who looked super annoying to be around and I can't even with them.
Anyone who thinks seeing Tyler start ripping into the sax part of "Baker Street" with a baguette *wouldn't* be a killer closing bit, is somebody who doesn't know comedy.
I've watched him off and on for ages, and this was the most consistent I've laughed out loud in a video from Chris, loved the commentary lots. Even though his Cris Angel videos have so much more source to laugh at, this content was about the best I've seen done from Chris.
"Imma look for that baguette," sounded a little.. heated? Like something you'd hear at the end of a cheesy old p0rno supposed to be set in Italy but shot by college kids in LA
Isabella can workshop that joke into something if she was a comic. Maybe something cringe like.... "I heard your butt was broken because it had a crack in it. I had mine fixed". (Lifts back of shirt)
Erik is THAT guy. He’s the guy who knows all the technical terms and therefore is better (in his mind). If you don’t then your subpar at best. He’s the worst kind of a Comedian hipster
Chris, Michael is a comedian. He was on a real world type show on Netflix (maybe?) and he was working on his stand up. It was awful (the show and his stand up). You should check it out.
I did standup comedy a long time ago and there was never a question of when you take your light. It’s not an order that you get to place. The people running the show just give it to you, usually 1 minute before your time is up. Unless you’re the headliner. Then it depends. Either you’ve got a certain amount of material and they’ve agreed to let you do it, or they assume can tell when the energy in the room is starting to wane and can spot where to wrap it up. “The light” is literally a light that they hold up in the back of the room. It has to be bright enough that the comedians can see it from the stage, past all of the other lights shining on them, but not so bright that it distracts the audience. It’s just a signal. The first one let’s the performer know that their time is almost up. Then if they reach their time limit, there’s a second one.
You are definitely my favourite TH-cam rabbit hole of the last two years. I think I got here from Criss Angel... But I can't remember how I got there coz there's only room for one Chris in my life now. P.S your skin is fricken amazing! It might be makeup or lighting or effects, but whatever you're doing, please tell me lol
Everyone tells me not to do the baguette thing but still I go to every open mic night in driving distance to crank out 4-6 minutes of buttery smooth jazz
Oh man, James' rapid fire delivery reminded me of the open mics I did when I tried. And Tyler reminded me of my success story where I compared my meat to a calzone. Good average times.
Pretty sure only one of them is a successful comedian. I got paid once to help move a piano, but I don’t consider myself a professional mover or roadie.
I swear lmao, your ads are fucking hilarious, I used your code for the hello fresh ad, bc I work to damn much hours and dinner ain't been happening for me. But your ad for that sponsor was my selling point lol
That Eric guy is such a joke. But like, not in a good way. He's just an encyclopedia of BS. They're all right: nobody talks about "laughs per minute" 🤦♀️
Was I the only one who thought Tyler and Isabella were legitimately funny? They were the most natural out of the bunch, and it definitely felt more like a bit they were doing rather than a lack of awareness.
this was painful and made me realize how low the threshold is for calling yourself a comedian
Gabiiiiii
I'm a 31 year veteran at this point. My first on stage performance was infront of my grade 6 class. Retelling crazy stories of a Marocain Pettie Cab drive my Grandfather told me.

this description is so spot on
I have yet to finish the show but i agree and i also think he's a comedy... my bad... "comedy" writer, not a stand up comedian.
Idk what live free or try hard means but that millennial joke he made was soooo bad

He kinda reminds me of Mike Wazowski in Monster University how he knows everything about scaring but can't scare. Then again Mike's actually funny
You mean Eryk?
Like Bobby's teacher when he went to college to take a clown course. Tartouf the spry wonderdog. Lord almighty.
He's a tool
This couldn't be more perfectly designed to make all of them seem obnoxious

He seems real chill
"Define a professional comedian"
"I'm not a biologist"
This is a better joke than any in the Jubilee video
I laughed 😂
Tyler was the funniest of them all, and they thought he wasn’t a comedian.
It's made in a way where everyone splits the winnings (or the mole gets all of it if still there) so the games usally go down to just 2 people cause they want as much money as possible
That's why they got upset at the new rule about getting less money when voting out non moles
the "I threw my back out trying to twerk" story seems like such a good concept for a bit but the punchline was terrible
The fact that the only one of these people id wanna go see live is tylers baguette stand up, yet hes the second one out, may say a lot about my sense of humor xD
Tyler had a subdued chaos that I really want to see on stage
I just appreciate that he voiced his dislike for Erik
He probably only says the bit to anticipate repeat audience viewers lol
Tiler was my favourite too. he's not a haha funny, but like a haaha funny.
Nope it says a lot about everyone else being bad lol. Anyone who watches comedy could tell he was a comedian off the bat with his self deprecating answers to questions. Nobody who is good at standup loves themselves 100% lmao
I survived a Italian mother is not a good joke.
i love that the fake one was the only one that wasn't insufferable
"Looking back now, it makes way more sense that she's the mole, because after seeing so much of everyone else; she really is the most normal here." 😂
The chiropractor joke was EVERYTHING

It really wasn’t funny
I'm a comedian.... Joke: Do you know why grapes look forward to marriage? Answer: So they can start raisin a family :D
I feel like I'd choke on a raisin
Ur lpm is 1
I mean that was better than any of their bits in the video.
You got a "heh" for that. Nothing more. Nothing less
The mole for me was the first person I guessed. Soon as she mentioned where she did comedy and no mention of open mic at all was a huge red flag for me. Then stating family parties etc, yeah, no way any comedian who has done any of the grind would have said that imo
I love how Tyler gave compliments before both votes. So sweet.
Tyler kinda gives off Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luther vibes
Tyler seems like such a chill guy
Pretty sure I've heard comedians say that they hate performing for other comedians lol. This sounds like a nightmare either way tho
Its the worst. Give me a parade of drunks over a dozen comics any day of the week....

Tyler absolutely is a comedian or at the very least he would absolutely have fit in in the youtube sketch scene or like with the SourceFed crew.
Tyler doesn't actually do a baguette joke in his act. He's just next level trolling these young "comedians."
That’s weak
"Laughs per minute" 🤦♀️ what do they actually count how many people are laughing while they're trying to focus on telling jokes? Lmao
Anyone who thinks seeing Tyler start ripping into the sax part of "Baker Street" with a baguette *wouldn't* be a killer closing bit, is somebody who doesn't know comedy.

Chris James, not the hero we wanted, but the hero we needed… love your videos!
That's not how the quote goes, it's "not the hero we deserve but the hero we need" I don't get how people keep messing this up.
I bet no real comedian would ask for a joke with a "tag". If he is, he is new and looked that up somewhere.
I learned from this video that plastic free deodorant can cost as much as $13 each. Thanks, Chris!

Either you’ve got a certain amount of material and they’ve agreed to let you do it, or they assume can tell when the energy in the room is starting to wane and can spot where to wrap it up.
“The light” is literally a light that they hold up in the back of the room. It has to be bright enough that the comedians can see it from the stage, past all of the other lights shining on them, but not so bright that it distracts the audience. It’s just a signal. The first one let’s the performer know that their time is almost up. Then if they reach their time limit, there’s a second one.
My first thought was "he's not funny/big enough to tell the gig how long his set is". Glad to see someone else know what's up.
