The single most underrated comedian in history. Grew up watching him. Way ahead of his time.
Still ahead of his time
I fully agree! My brother and I grew up watching him on comedy central when we'd come home from school! He's crazy!
My family and I happened to catch him on Premium Blend or something on Comedy Central when I was a kid. I've always remembered the Windex joke. It's too bad his health is taking a turn as an adult would love to see him. He has like this whole punk attitude to his act. Watching this today, I couldn't picture him not upsetting some community. Just this alone I was thinking how much feminist group would say he is making money on the backs of abused women with this. Maybe it's better that his time was the mid 90s and early 2000's?
@@rayfran06 No, maybe you should stop being a coward and tell these demons to piss off?
He had the tag of being a “prop comedian” too so that made it harder for him to take seriously.
I love the one overly loud guy in the audience laughing his head off 🤣 having the time of his life at this absolute legend.
Saw him live in Vegas. Front row. I was terrified. He picked the guy next to me. Phew! RIP AJ.
A genius and made me weep as a teenager with his mad insanely funny act, I was so sad to hear of his passing, thanks for the laughter and RIP.
So sad to hear he's gone. But he'd be banned these days for being too funny.
He would be banned these days, simply for his(fake)mistreatment of a woman.(like he would truly jab a pair of scissors into her skull?)Too many sensitive pansies out there, that can't take a joke! Is there actually any comedians making a decent living by making the world laugh, anymore? The only ones I've seen lately are the ones slamming the 45 prez!
I keep seeing people referring to him as a comedian, but this man was a magician. I mean, did you see the way that he knew which member of the audience would volunteer to come up on stage?!
had us in the first half not gonna lie..
RIP Jonathan, thank you so much for the laughs, especially for the unfortunate people really really needed it the most
The more I show him to people the more I'm blown away that nobody knows him. True legend.
That would depress me greatly.
I watched him as a kid back in the late 80's.
While I've always loved the guy, I have to admit that he limited himself by only having the one act year after year. I wish we could have seen what he was capable of before he died. (assuming there was more to see) That's probably why nobody you know knew who he was.
Saw Johnathon in Columbus this spring and actually got called up on stage, what an honor to be so close to a living legend. Today's magicians should be calling and thanking Johnathon each day for leading the way. It was a memory that I will treasure forever. Thanks Johnathon Catch his show whenever you can. A comic genius, on the level with Benny Hill, Senior Wences and the Three Stooges
yeah you are full of shit because he's dead, when you posted this comment he wasnt on stage or touring then due to his heart failure .. Johnathon's final show was in 2017 (so there is no way possible you saw him 1 year ago (2021/2020) in the spring) and the guy he has on stage is ALWYS THE SAME GUY AND IS PART OF HIS ACT .. he doesnt call up random people on the stage .. and the fact you say "catch his show" you are an idiot he died .. he's dead which shows that you are a liar and a fake ..
Greg.. you are a filthy liar and should be ashamed of yourself ..
I remember watching this back in the day and I laughed so hard. It holds up.
I live in Vegas. He's a goddamn legend. Doesn't get any better. And he always took time to say thanks to his fans. Just what a Vegas act should be.
Simply perfection. You have brought so much joy. Thank you! Heal my friend.
He said hi to me when I mouthed the word "Gotcha!"
Rest in Peace thank you for all the laughs
RIP Johnathan. Your Amazing comedy lives on.
Rest In Peace Johnathan....amazing comedian.
LOL, Imagine trying to do this act n 2022.
At the 5:21 mark, I loved the multiple bags holding the deck of cards trick. RIP Johnathan. Yeah, like he is gonna let that happen. He is still raising comedy heck wherever he is at.
You'll be missed, good sir. One of a kind. RIP. May you have the angels laughing their wings off!
If Beetlejuice was a comedian
First time ever seeing him and I’m in awe🤣🤣🤣
He was the first shock magician comedian on the scene, changed the whole game.
he's dead
Dammit recommends! Why show me this just now! This is pure gold.
RIP one of the greats, you will be missed brother.
RIP Johnathan, I remember watching your sublime/chaotic brand of humor in the late 80's, thank you for all these years of silliness and laughter...you will be missed.😎❤
I remember Psychic Faye & Psychic Tanya. Amazing Jonathan was always one of my favorites; it's sad that he's gone...
RIP...you will be missed
After hearing about your passing, our industry doesn't feel the same. We definitely lost another legend.
How fitting how you passed on 2/22/22 you legend.
RIP friend.
I learned he passed away from a Reddit post, i just watched the documentary on him because of that. An awesome comedian/magician sadly taken. I think the Psychic Sandra in this skit is his first wife too, she's beautiful.
He passed away from a Reddit post? Dam, what did it say?
Rest in Peace John Szeles, you were always funny.
RIP Oh Great One!
This guy is funnier than all the current stand ups combined.
He was most definitely one of the greatest comedians ever. He was in a class of his own.
Holy shit this was awesome😂
Fantastic showman and entertainer
6:49 the guy in the white is having the time of his life. What a laugh haha.
This man is GOD of comedy hahahahahahahahahahaahah
Love it!
Wow Jonathan is amazing, but Sandra is hot as hell!
i believe it's his first wife and agree.
Always luved his humor
Awesome 😎 thanks brother!! RIP Amazing Jonathan.🙏
I've only seen a little bit of his material It's pretty funny stuff and I'm sad to hear about him passing. Rip oh king of comedy.
Great show. Don't miss the shoulder-pad era at all.
🤣👍
Saw him in Vegas in the Flamingo with friends of his wife/assistant. Also was his volunteer at his show in Edinburgh, Glasgow at the summer festival. #RIP
Who else saw the documentary?
There was a documentary..
I did. Brought me to tears.
It was great. The good one.not the hulu one.
It was very very sad. Loved him as a kid and to see him in that state tore me up.
I did last month, amazing, moving and baffling
Rest in peace johnno, and thanks greatly for the laughs.
RIP brother.
Loved this guy....
too funny for words
My favorite. Rest in peace you amazing mother......
I don't know how I'm now just hearing and seeing this guy but I'm not happy about it. How did I miss this? RIP
I use to love it when he came to Australia and appeared on Hey Hey it’s Saturday. Very funny man!
He does magic and at the same time makes fun of it, genius.
Growing up in the 90s, my first bf in elementary school loved magic. he brought over a vhs that was The Amazing Johnathan that was actually signed by Johnathan. I loved it, he was so funny and did such amazing tricks!! He never took the tape back. He was such a great friend from elementary school through high school. He took his life years ago and I miss him, I wish I could have saved him.
Geoff, i really hope you found peace, I love you.
💙
Rip in peace my dear friend
I watched this back in the early 90s when I was a young lad. One of my favorite shows ever. I honestly thought this guy died. I'm glad he beat his heart problem..
Unfortunately no... 😢
He was a mad man
The amazing Jonathan and his amazing act that never changed. I still laugh every time
Johnathan was one of the TOP TEN GOATs of all time.
RIP Jonathan
He was awesome just to funny very creative very talented and gifted rip
Yes His Best Assistant Ever (Sandra)😁
That's cool
Up there with Andy Kaufman. I miss this guy tremendously
Rip amazing
Cool Chris Farley doing magic
I remember the video I saw from the 80's of him DOING THE EXACT SAME SHOW
xaxaxaxaxa ..he was very good!
He was never at his absolute full potential and he was still fucking great
Rest well sir. You will be missed.
#ripamazingjonathan ☹️
I guess Psychic Bambi died after her 1993 appearance.
Though I think Psychic Sandra was his wife in real life.
Then there was psychic Tanya queen of the night!
Yeah, that was a pretty tragic stage accident, but it did get a huge laugh from the audience, so Bambi's death was not in vain.
Stand up straight, you’re not in a strip club anymore!
Fucking brutal. 💀🤣
This just wouldn't be aloud now 😂 😂
Did he take a vow of silence or something?
That looked painful for psychic Sandra. I'm just convincing myself it's all fake
Feminist would get triggered over a girl getting hurt by a cuz white malr
@@psychobillynumbnuts1 No?
He is magician Chris Farley.
Watch the way he does his movements at the very end of the show when they are applauding. If that doesn’t remind you of Chris.....
Love both of them
Drugs can do that unfortunately.
his energy is really somthing, sure wish i smoked pot with him growing up!
I saw him in Vegas with my wife 20 years ago
This says stand up 96. This is not from 96. It looks newer than that.
RIP
That volunteer is coked up
Everyone was back then
Not sure this would go down well in 2020 🤣😂🤣
Same
thats because everyone turned into a bunch of crybaby pussies ..
RIP AJ
I just heard that he passed away today, so very sad to hear.
Tried the first trick with my girlfriend... she's now my ex... with a restraining order. I still find it funny
Flula Borg at 2:54
He was born in 1982, this is 1996.
That guy looks much older than 14 in a night club.
Laughing my ass off!
I love this act. Unperformable in 2020
That was funny as f**k.....i can't think of anyone who does this kind of routine these days...which is a shame and a reflection on our overly sensitive society...Bring back the Amazing Johnathan...PLEASE.
People do routines like this all the time it's just magic and comedy together it's not that complicated
@@austinburras2993 Name another person that does it?
@@joeyperez7432 Aldo Colombini
Mel Mellers
Mac King
Thomosini and wife, The Great Kaplan, Voronin, Tommy Cooper, Ballentine, Zany Blaney, Finney.
Piff the magic dragom
@@austinburras2993 This nigga googled comedy magicians and named dead people LMAO
who is watching this in 2021?
me, among others. i always enjoyed his comedy
Please tell me when the vaccine arrives?
I can't imagine what today's Feminatrixes would make of this! 🤣
He was still doing this a few years ago
Ahhh....Anti-Woken comedy... Hilarious!
Dumbest comment on the internet. Congrats on your award.
People get so butthurt and offended by this stuff in this day and age.... And it really wasn't that long ago I think it's hilarious.. I think jokes about transsexuals are even funnier
"Overkill"... It just wasn't appreciated as much as it should have been.
Why would this crowd take this bit so personal? It’s like they were watching an actual assault
Point out who/when they took it personally
Oh, god. What's with that crap audience sample looping at the very end? Whoever did that needs to be fired.
This is offensive to women
RIP
RIP
