Easily my favorite stand-up comedian of all time. I loved the one where someone in the audience yelled out "You're nuts!" and he looks at his crotch and with a tone of relief he says "I thought they were out."
Still the best response to a heckle I've ever seen. 😂
He was at the TOP of the comedy pole in those days. Every SNL he performed on was elevated to 11. So many are saying he's not funny...you just had to live in that time to know the depths of what he did for comedy. He was HIMSELF, honest, fresh, uplifting and downright hilarious...Steve WAS 70's comedy.
I love his "Well, you're wrong!" Hahahaha
I tried doing this trick earlier tonight and the person actually picked the card I had randomly grabbed out of the deck -- ruining everything. But Steve made it look effortless.
Haha u cant say fuk u lol
Cuz i tried to say fuk u cuz im drunk
Next level comedy. making people laugh when it isn't that funny and having the audience in your hand like it was the easiest thing in the world to do. Amazing.
yep!! a lot of people don't understand that this is why Steve is considered a genius. the actual material in his act isn't necessarily funny--it's the delivery, the ironic, 4th wall aspect of it. in his own words, he tried to capture that "you just had to be there" type of comedy. this goes over so many people's heads but in reality is so revolutionary.
@@poopmcstuffins4417 I love the fact that you can tell he writes his jokes to make himself laugh. The nonconformist oath is always one of my favorite bits.
So he's genius because he did a comedy act which actually wasn't funny. It's thrilling for 2 seconds sure and then it's just lame.
Andy Kaufman did this gig way better. He could actually be considered as genius.
@@saarapollonen8138 I liked norm Macdonald more, but I like Steve’s stuff too
Steve is just a pure world class entertainer. When i try to get friends to watch his stuff i descibe him as the worlds greatest ever clown just minus the makeup
I've always loved this guy, even way back in the beginning. All his stuff is as funny now as it was then!
My favorite thing was always “you can’t sing a sad song with a banjo”
“Oh murder and death and grief and sorrow” - happy banjo music and a big smile!
Not sure if it’s in this compilation….
Fascinating! I'm jealous of his supreme confidence on stage.
Yes! Sublime silliness from Steve!
This is like comfort food right now.
Thanks 😊
He is brilliant! I can look at him before he speaks and start laughing!
His not even funny it's cringe different times I guess
@@guzjose - the use of the word cringe is so cringe. yawn
@michelestinnett2708
Same here, and I would also mention John Belushi, who also crack me up every time, just being his silly self.
Martin is a classic comedian,he,s actually funnY.
thank you for posting this! Your Steve Martin series has been awesome. thank you thank you thank you!
The shrinking man!
How was he going to do that. LOL
If you were not alive then, it is hard to understand just how unusual and groundbreaking it was.
Yeah, he was a rock star up there, and it was coincidental with the comedy club boom where Letterman and Leno got their start.
One of the great comic geniuses of all time. I told everybody I knew the first time I saw him on Carson, which OK, wasn't that many people, but I knew this guy had "something", and I kind of turned out to be right.
Wow. I had forgotten a lot of this. Truly original
Steve Martin started out by making stupidity funny again, and went on by getting brainier as he got larger audiences. Kudos to him.
Brilliantly done in support of a good cause. Makes me appreciate his comedy even more.
I'd never seen the "balloon animal compromise" bit before! Thanks for compiling this!
His bit was taken from the comedy bits done at the Golden Horse Shoe Review at Disneyland where he worked as a teen at Merlens Magic shop.
Love his work
One of the best !!
Steve Martin worked at the magic store at Disneyland, when they had a magic store.
Yes My Brother and I would go there when our Dad was working at Disneyland.
The not paying for carpet cracked me up.
Legendary!
Most rational adults who watch Martin's act for the first time today are puzzled: how did this guy ever make it big? Understandable response. But what you may not understand is that Martin's stand-up act in the 1970s was a critical response to the banality of mainstream comedy at that time. He was mocking mainstream comedy so well that you often could not even tell that it was mockery. If you are today unaware of the contemporary context, then you do not perceive the value of his act.
Thank you! This is the comment I was looking for.
🤣👍Thanx, Katie
Cheers, Katie.
I wish he still did this
Whoever trained those dogs wasn’t paid enough. Around other dogs I have the attention of mine for three seconds then he off and playing
I think they were the Dogs from Disney on Parade or Disney on Ice . When we were kids we got a reject dog from the trainer that my Dad knew and his name was Tux.
5:23 lol that totally caught me off guard
Nothing compares to the comedians before my time (born 1989)!! Steve Martin, Buddy Hackett, Rodney Dangerfield, Richard Pryor, Sam Kinison, Joan Rivers, etc, etc!!
Every so often a new comedian comes along that I will dig but they're pretty few and far between, imo!
Robin Williams and George Carlin.
Funniest thing about this video is
That camera, I mean, just look
At it. L0L, omg,
I'M TALKING ABOUT HER CAT!!!
Wow ok this is bo burnham's father
Riiiight?
23 comments just aren't enough.there you go.
This is diabolical 😮
Here, I always thought Steve Martin was born with white hair. 👨🏻🦳
Brilliant comic actor. But he was superb as the serious guy in Planes, Trains.......very talented man
I said socket, not sprocket!
Ah, Han Solo is kinda funny 😅
...i want to get seriious for just a minute!
0:35 caught in 4K
Where's Steve Martin? ❤ it
😂‼️
Probably the weakest steve martin special but still better than 90% of the specials that come out today.
LETS GET SMALL
😄
I love his and Martin Short's friendship but I'm much more a Martin Short comedy person.
Every great comedian has highlights on the Johnny Carson show. if you made it there, you really made it. Just sayin.
well, they picked the right guy when they picked the jerk...
I have difficulty in finding Steve Martin funny and have never been able to warm to his performance persona. That said lots of fans like him a lot. That's just how it is.
I always liked Steve Martin because he didn't curse or make fun of already vulnerable people.
Despise his standup, love his movies.
Steve Martin's a mensch. He's a good guy with depth; I like him a lot. But I don't personally find his act laughter-inducing. Steve on stage brings out the feel-goods to be sure, but is Steve a comedian? Perhaps his kind of performance is a different thing altogether, like silliness art or human muppetry.
A Mensch..Oy!!..take a walk down Fairfax nudnik..
Funny is subjective. Stuff you find funny, others may not.
He's like a golden retriever
He’s 100% a comedian, are you kidding me? Stop trying to be intellectual and over-complicate things. His comedy specials are varied as far as including physical comedy, prop comedy, irony, subversion of expectation, etc. all of which are included under the comedic umbrella. He’s a unique comedian, not a fucking human-puppet you dim-witted, cretinous, pinhead.
If he's not a comedian you're not a Jew.
Why do people always repeat the lines? Do they think we didn't listen?
Some people like me with adhd don’t listen to everything.
not funny, just American.
The most funny unfunny person out there.
I watched this entire thing trying to understand why people think Steve Martin is funny, I didn't even smile, once not even a slight glimmer of a lip slighting rising, not even in a "wow this is so not funny its funny" sort of way, I understand the jokes its just not funny.
I have to say I agree with you...to a degree. I love a lot of Martin's stuff, I think he's a much better actor than he gets credit for, he writes some great stuff, he's a great musician, and he's truly multi-talented. But his stand-up comedy to me was always hit and miss. Some routines I always thought were funny, but some of it, I think he was relying on a lot of the audience being drunk or high and would laugh at anything because everything to them was funny. I mean that seriously, because I think it was the perfect time for him to hit it big. His talents grew when he was with the Smothers Brothers show, he had the right connections, and his timing was perfect for the SNL and Midnight Special crowds. He knew exactly how to take advantage of it all, and it paid off big-time. Even if you can't appreciate his stand-up, you gotta respect his savvy. 🙂
Same. I just don't get the hype.
Steve was a breath of fresh air in a very depressing and uptight time. He threw away conventionality and pioneered a style of comedy that was not built on typical joke structure. Looking at this stuff 50 years on, with the benefit of hindsight, the material loses something. But Steve was hilarious in the 70s and beyond. I see two different Steve Martins, the actor and the stand-up comedian. I always have preferred his comedic side, but each to his or her own.
The funny part is how he knows the material is bad. He's playing the character of a bad comedian. It might be corny but he's acting
As a person, he isn't funny. As a stand-up, he's average. In Reiner's films, he's hilarious. Funnier than your favourite comedian.
An occasional chuckle but gee this guy is overrated - tried to watch the Jerk recently too but couldn’t finish- one of the most insipid crass ‘comedies’ ever.
Agreed. I don't get it.
I was looking for this comment.
Here’s jokes are very intelligent. Do you remember the day the world blew up and we promised not to tell all the dumb people?
❤
Did you know Steve Martin is the 2nd best banjo player in the whole world ?
