Hi friends,
This week I wanted to share my thoughts on Taylor Swift’s most recent, and record breaking, album The Tortured Poets Department. Fans have been pouring over the meaning behind tracks like, Fortnight, Florida, Guilty as Sin?, Down Bad, But Daddy I Love Him, and So Long London. There has even been talk about how thanK you alMee is a Kim Kardashian diss with over 100,000 people unfollowing Kim after the song was released.
Fandom is important and it creates a relationship between artist and audience. What’s fascinating to me is when that relationship goes beyond the parasocial to a realm that is almost spiritual. You see stand defend their faces like they are their saviors and fan bases attacking each other like modern day crusades as they hold up their idols even when those same people try to stop the conflict.
When these emotions run high it can be terrifying to the point that critics of the album have asked publications to not include their name. As much as critics can overstep and sometimes build themselves up by tearing down someone else’s work, when have we gone to far when to even say a word questioning our newly anointed idols draws the same righteous indignation as the crusades?
I also talk about new money and how a lot of the idols gain their position from being our heroes in entertainment, and sports like NFL, NBA, NHL, and football around the world.
Thanks for watching. If you enjoy please share with someone who could use a laugh and most of all thanks for being my friends.

Hi Friends thanks for watching! I have shows coming up in Kansas City, Denver, Dallas, Phoenix and more. All my upcoming show dates are available at www.joshjohnsoncomedy.com
Hey Josh- please put the Luther Burbank Center in Santa Rosa Ca in your Rolodex. Those NorCal folks are hungry!
I’m excited 🎉
With your endless supply of new material, do you just come up with stuff as you are on stage? Do you pick a topic and then just say how you see it through your comedian lens?
Would you be mad if I just joined and listened to everything then canceled it? I'm poor
I’m sure the Redlands Bowl (Redlands, Ca) is beneath you, but I’d be in the front row for that!
This man has been dropping at least 15 minutes of gold for the last 20 consecutive weeks he’s a machine
How does he not have a Netflix contract?!
@@SacredLUVhe has a special on Peacock
OMG 666 likes
Truly, this man has been the best news reporter for pop culture! Easy material just tell the already hilariously stupid shit from social media. He does pump out gold like 1850s California!
LITERALLY
"It turns out the answer is millions of people"
*I made the NAS ETHER remake.*
Finally love someone who is genuinely funny who understands the whole Taylor Swift lore.
I'm dead 💀 😂😂
Lol
Wrestling is telenovelas for men. I’ve always said that and stand by it
The Young & the Wrestlers 😂
I've always thought of it as camp for cishet men
No lies told 😅😅😅
Well yeah, wrestling has always been called "the soap opera for men." It's crazy to me that they still actually exist.
My partner has always described wrestling as “redneck anime” because all of their moves have names, and it’s my favourite thing ever 😂
"We owned a lot of....farms"😳
I can't STAND Josh!!! He always messes up my makeup 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, and the way he looks at the camera in that exact moment
Exactly!!! He makes you know exactly whats up without saying it
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This dude is hilarious.
Upgrading the name "Thurston" to "Thirty" is a keeper move for your new friend circle to make.
saved him from ALOT of bullying most definitely
@@kween4u268"We call him Thirty cause he's untied thirty guard dogs just to outrun em all"
I suppose that's better than "Thirsty" which would have made more sense.
i think it might have been spelled "Thirsten"
@@prospect689 Or maybe Torsten as in related to Tor!
The fact that Josh writes new material every week while also writing for The Daily Show is unimaginable to me.
I didn't know he wrote for tds! that's cool!
@@maxonmendel5757He does, he's also getting some screen time as a correspondent lately.
@@maxonmendel5757since 2017 apparently
I just discovered him and love his material. That said, (and by no means distracting from his brilliance), I am pretty sure that a lot of these drops are clips from shows. I could be incorrect and it doesn't really matter, but for some reason felt compelled to respond.
@@sondraarrache1908 They're from some of his recent sets and they're all fresh cos he normally uses current events.
I’m a huge Taylor Swift fan and I went to the eras tour with my husband and sister.
When the last Wrestlemania happened my husband described it to me as “the eras tour for men”.
This are facts he's speaking 😂
You have to go 5 or more times to be a huge fan. Less than 5 is only standard fan.
@@catkin-z8gThat's a bit out of touch now isn't it?
@@catkin-z8g Says who? I've never been to a TS concert ( I have severe claustrophobia) but I have been a fan since 2008 and have every album and know the words to every song, so why does going to FIVE concerts make someone a huge fan?
@@catkin-z8g so I guess poor people can't be a fan of Taylor Swift according to your logic. Don't gatekeep, it's tacky and counterintuitive.
Seriously your comedy has broken my grief time after time. Less than an hour away from the show and I am excited to be here. I can’t wait until I get the opportunity to see you in person!!!
I hope laughter and time will comfort your heart❤
I hope you’re feeling better ❤ I’ve been there.
Stay strong!💯🔥
Laughter is a special kind of medicine!
There is no day so bad or so good that Josh’s comedy can’t make it better
@@jonathanreilly5354 Well said!
As a white girl named April this cracked me up so hard, but he must be talking about that other April cuz I didn’t care about none of that news 🤣
Girl I am RIGHT HERE WITH YOU 😂😂😂 I am DYING right now. 💀 and The wrestling, yes men! Do you understand it now? 😭😭😭🤣. Oh god we’re all nuts
Uhhhh here's another one 👋🏼 Not a TS fan, and I don't really *care* that OJ died, but I for sure own his confession book and have a favorite Norm MacDonald Weekend Update OJ joke 😂 So this might halfway be about me!
(I was born in November, if that maybe gives me a slight edge as a white girl named April 🙈)
Lol
😂😂😂😂
You had to have been there 😂
Tuesdays are for tacos and Josh Johnson drops
Does this happen every Tuesday?! If you confirm I shall set my calendar!
@@DeeLite220 yes!
@@CStuekey87 Perfect!!
May need to make rebrand it, Josh Johnson Jrops, get the extra j
TIL
Josh is like a one man writers’ room. Just endless jokes. Give this man a talk show!
He's a writer for The Daily Show and has started appearing in front of the camera as a correspondent.
Was just about to say the same, great fit with that amazing team.
Because he makes researches and depicts stuff with wit..
Give him anything I'll watch it.
I have never watched one of his videos and been like "eh that was just ok" he is great all the time.
I love his calm voice. He’s so talented. I love comedians who are clean.
So true
It's a testament to your talent that you used the EXACT same punch phrase twice and got laughs both times. The second delivery of new poor put me on rewind checking for a glitch in the matrix.
I’m glad it was on repeat because I kept hearing ‘new p0rn’ 🎈🦭
So backhanded! Good pointing out of that small detail, it's obvious you have so much going on in your life that you noticed that. And I like the matrix but it's an old Australian movie that was ok. Have you even seen it? It's ok but cause I'm Australian I know how it was made especially that long ago
@@yummico was this written by an AI?
@@kodingamedev yes I am code from some loser. So AI
@@kodingamedev it can't be, AI that would be trained on enough data to have this degree of sense, wouldn't be so bitter.
how the fuck do you have a new 15 minutes every week bro? This guy is the hardest working man in comedy
Right? ⚡️
Well the news helps. 😂
The look he gives when he says "fARms" is priceless. You go Josh.
I am a 46yr old black woman...I became a swifty just last month after watching the Eras Tour on Disney+... that woman's pen is phenomenal. My favorite Era was Folklore but every single song was so beautifully written.
I had the exact opposite reaction. Couldnt even finish it. 😂 but one thing i will say about taylor she keeps her fans FED
🎉 Welcome! 🤍 Folklore is a great album!!
@@KaylaMarie_ funny thing is, I only did about 5 minutes the first time I watched, but on that 2nd attempt I got swept away by the visuals but i was doing my daughters hair and wasnt quite paying attention.. so I decided to make a third attempt at sitting down and watching 👀 it so I could enjoy all the visuals and then heard some things I liked....and then.... I listened and was absolutely amazed by her artistry as a musician and songwriter 🤯 #swifty
@@Nevagoinback the visuals were definitely great!
I thought you would love a vocalist ....... unlike Swift.
I was here at this show, I even got to meet him. He’s literally one of my favorite comedians and as I told him I can’t wait for him to one day have a Netflix special
Thank you for coming!
He has a special on Peacock!
@@JoshJohnsonComedy Very smart man. Fine tuned observational material, hugely relatable, and not just in the US. Perfect timing, always topical, and never 'at the expense of' another. Great stuff. Great career evolvinging. 🥰👋👋👋[ Hi from Tasmania ! ]
This guy must write 24/7. Tons of new material. Keeps getting better.
Doing 15 new minutes per week is like doing a new special once a month, insane output and very minimal padding from crowd work
Right! I was just thinking he must do stand up like every single night the way he’s constantly posting videos lol
As much as I love his work, and I hope he’s enjoying it as much as it seems, every time I see his tour dates, podcast appearances, Daily Show appearances, etc I get a bit concerned. I want him to get rest, take care of himself, and be healthy. I admittedly don’t have the mind set for that work ethic so I maybe misunderstanding.
Great observational comedian.
He’s just out here every week adlibbing Netflix specials
As someone battling with depression and some other sad and hard issues I'm glad I found a new comedian to watch like you because it may sound corny but you don't even know how much you have helped me through some days by watching you and being able to laugh because you are very funny and you are not like other comedians I don't know how to explain it but I do appreciate you!!!
He is funny without a million cuss words or underlying negative energy
I think it’s because he can take our current pathetic sitch and help us see the humor in it. 7:40
Omg!!! As someone who works the comedy circuit, and a comedic enthusiast...this young man is GOOD. He has IT.
I pray he gets the recognition and praise he deserves!
Why doesn't your comment feel Authentic?
Idk. I respectfully, don't need your approval or belief to give someone a compliment.
"Your new poor ass" 😂😂 I'm glad 30 wasn't mauled 😀
Seriously lol. 30 almost became 15 and Some Change.
@@briansydnor4331💀💀💀
@@briansydnor4331 damn 😂😂
Legit too many comedians be spamming what works, JJ is one of the rare few who know how to make OC on the regular 🙏 mad respect and love ❤️
I have seen you grow and evolve as a comedian I still recall my first video on youtube where you got kicked out of a gang for being a positive influence and you have been on point. I loved the how much experience you have in New York set. Thanks Josh for allowing a former New Yorker to laugh at all of it. Keep being you sir.
Same I love hpw the haircut evolved too 😊
@@zoeysmith3009 agreed for sure i will be honest he used to remind me of jackson 5 Michael jackson and now he just has his own look as a comedian and his style has always been there he has evolved as a comedian overall. Another favorite was the gym set where he kept making the sound so it didn't seem like he had never lifted a weight before it was semi relatable because i was kinda awkward growing up too.
He's a beautiful man. He could be Ciara's brother. I feel like they have a resemblance.
It´s the "here come the twist and/or punchline" smile. Brilliant.
the smile is so infectious!! makes it more funny
Not Trent at the piggy wiggly now 😂
I saw your comment b4 I heard the joke...then I heard it...hilarious🤣🤣🤣
Nobody ever talks about new poor…so true!
Maybe because so many have jumped out of windows. 🪟
5:37 I seriously heard the air quotes in Josh’s delivery of the word “farms” 😅😂🤣
I’m going to see you tomorrow and I’m super pumped. I’ll be the one in the wheelchair giving you a sitting ovation 😂
Teachers are among our society's greatest assets. Hope you get some great wheelchair chivalry at the show!
hell yeah teacher! i hope you have a blast.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾my ovation too you 🫵🏾🤗🤗
LOL I am right in front of the stage and there are 4 people here in wheelchairs 🤣🤣
Hahahahaha!! What are the odds! Enjoy.@@teacherbecca526
As a Swiftie who's a huge wrestling fan, I stamp that analogy 🤣💯
Likewise. I lost it because it’s so perfect.
I found the worst person in this timeline
@@scribesarchive289 🤣🤣🤣
We need a Netflix Special from this man....💯💯
I have a special on Peacock if you want to watch it
@@JoshJohnsonComedy Even your reply is hilarious! Just because you said it! Im heading to Peacock! Lol
@@JoshJohnsonComedy Wait, I feel like this info should be all over the place. How'd I miss this?!?!
@user-xi2hq1re4y how it that reply humorous??
@@JoshJohnsonComedy *whispers* there's no peacock in Australia
This man is a national treasure. Give him his flowers 🌺 now!
🌼🌻🌺🌸🏵️
Every man has the deeply held belief that, in the right circumstances, we could be a wrestling/action hero badass.
We're all probably wrong, but we FEEL it.
Absolutely, we’ve all envisioned dying a hero’s death as well to protect those we love
Ahh that’s why we love you 💕
And could probably land an airplane 😅
I’m not a man but I feel it too
Put me in coach
Chill pill in human form! Keep rocking Josh ❤
As a wrestling fan married to a swift. God damn bare spot on
Just so much original material. The man is a legend. Going down as goat in my book
Bro you’re so impressive, constantly dropping brand new 20 minute sets. I’ve watched hours and I don’t get bored
“We gon call you ‘Thirty’” 😂😂🤣
Great show! And fun fact, that run where all four paws are off the ground is called a “double-suspended gallop”. Horses, cheetahs, and greyhounds do it too.
Keep up the good work!
Josh has the ability to make any story become hilarious af
Schitt’s Creek is exactly that, “new poor.” From Riches to Rags.
I suspect that being poor may require more skill and savvy than being rich.
It sure toughened me up and made me resourceful.
There nothing like latch key ingenuity. Problem solving since age 7
I mean the first thing you do with money is to not live around Sandlot dogs. Money buys you ways to not have to worry about shit, like "thinking" or "not getting yourself killed".
@@Shamaroth money may not buy happiness, but it can rent security.
Depends
Staying rich is a skill too
HE HIT 4K
Yes!!! Woot!🎉🎉🎉
That's awesome 🎉
I was just gonna ask... GOOD FOR HIM❤
Yay! I saw it too late to join, but was hoping he did.
As he should. 🎉🎉🎉
bruh the thing ab the dog is the funniest shit I've listened to in a WHILE 😭😭
"We had a lot of..." [ pause ] "... farms."
A pure laugh out loud moment. 🤣
@JoshJohnsonComedy I just told someone that I found my new comic. A brilliant storyteller with a message in each story that just speaks to you. You bring me peace and cathartic joy. Thank you.
This guy is my new fave comedian.
I just discovered Josh, and I love him. I'm a huge fan of standup, and right off the bat, I feel like he's put there with the best. He's got heart, and philosophy, and isn't cruel, which is very rare in the standup world of the greats.. Go Josh!!! Gr8! Peace ☮💜Love
Your comedy has been getting me through some dark times. Thank you!!
He's a livin' Angel who lightens our hearts🙏🏽💐❤️🔥
Hope you feel better 🩵
Thank you Josh for putting these out every week! I’m going thru a hard time right now and laughing with you is good medicine !
Thank you for watching. Hope your hard times turn around soon friend
Funny. I grew up poor. Then became new money. Then my ex turned on me and took the business we started. And now I'm re poor.
That’s a bad report lmaoo
Textbook capitalism, as designed.
If ya did it once, ya can do it again haha
Hope you make it back
Feel like there's more to this story
I like the mental image of young Josh looking out for young Thurston and trying to keep him safer with a nickname. That warmed my heart. 💜
Dude, you're a great story teller. New Poor is a great concept!
True….Rags to Riches is the American 🇺🇸 story……but Riches to Rags is also just as an American story 😂……….🤷🏿as the other….
It's an old the Onion news network joke from 15 years ago
He has the best smile! Lol I don’t think I’ve heard him before but not only is he absolutely hilarious but his smile is gorgeous and contagious
The level of genius and productivity of Josh is unmatched by new comedians! Unmatched!
Your smile is infectious 😁😍
This guy's style and delivery is so unique. Super funny, but also kinda calming in the way he tells stories. He would make a great audiobook narrator.
Man I love your comedy. Your delivery is so perfect and organic. I was losing it at the "with your new poor ass" bit at the end.
This man is a comic genius, his delivery and his soft spoken voice is just pure gold . I have been binge watching his videos and he makes me laugh until I have tears
There's nothing I value more in a performer than originality. Josh rules.
I’ve always felt like a good songwriter can write a song in a way where it can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Taylor Swift is a phenomenal musician and songwriter incredibly talented and also seems to be a very nice person.
Her concert was legitimately the only concert I’ve ever been to in my life- and I’ve been too many - where no one in the crowd, nor myself, felt that there was any need for an encore. When the show was over, it was like “that was amazing. Thank you so much.“
I enjoy your comedy SO MUCH. TY for brightening some dark days. Fingers crossed I'll make it off the wait list to see you in Portland!
Thank you for all the comedic content!!!
Your smile is infectious! You’re so genuine and humble and it makes for such good comedy. I love the way your brain works! You might be the most underrated comic of our time and I hope you get your flowers soon 😊 But until then .. 💐 🌸 🌺 🌹 🌻🌼
There's certain comics that you know they're exceptional within the first 5 minutes. This is one of those.
So quickly my favorite comedian! Has me in tears sometimes! Only comedian I constantly send clips to my friends.
Story teller par excellence. Keep growing Josh!!!😂
I believe Sunny in Phil had the line, "oh-they're new poor, we're old poor" while watching people not hack it.😅
How DOES a circular economy work? 😂😂
yeahhh! we got it to 4.6k baby!😩
I saw 4750 for a few seconds.
4.8K VIEWERS LIVE 🎉🎉🎉 LETS GO JOSH
Man, your new material is always killer. So glad you are sharing it with us!
Feeling honored every Tues.
LMAO i’ve always laughed at how dogs look when they run, glad i’m not alone!
also, the sandlot is probably one of the most important movies of all time andi’m glad it got a shout out
Thank you for making me laugh when I feel like crying, you make everything in my life so much easier! Thank you a million times Mr. Johnson!
Such a nice surprise to see you on the daily show!!!❤
Super excited that you’re coming to Toronto and have a huge tour all over, congratulations!! 🎉🍾🎈
This is liquid gold 👏👏👏
How does this amazing man have a completely new and seriously funny routine every damn week? I suspect sorcery.
as a swiftie i think i got clickbaited into 3 minutes of taylor swift out of the 16 in the video. yes i watched the entire thing. yes i'm subscribing.
Glad I could catch this!
And that's how Thirty became Fifteen.
😂😂😂😂
LMAOOOOOOOO 😂🤣😂🤣
FOUR THOUSANDDDDD ❤ YOU DID IT
This guy is constantly making new material that SLAPS like some who take a year plus to work out a new routine…I respect both but this man is something else - some people just GOT IT 💪🏻
The amount of new material each and every week.
JJ has got it down to a science.
Incredible. I have no idea how you have so much fresh content but your writing and delivery is just top notch. So much talent. Thanks for another 17mins of laughs!
Here for the T-Swift drama (but fr i love your stuff and am happy to support ❤ excited to see you in ATL!)
Ah yes....the New Poor....Thurston and Trent. Love that segment! What a refreshing break you are from the daily news of the Orange Beast (soon to be "new poor" maybe?) You manage to find comedy in situations that would normally be ignored but when you start your slow smile....we know otherwise. thanks ,Kiddo, for what you do !
It’s always that smile right?
Well said😂😂😂😂
Stated perfectly 🎤
This is one of the funniest sets you've done!! Tysm
I love the way he delivers jokes. Lol. It's sooo good!!!
I love how he is able to turn current events into hilarious stories and jokes!!!
Master tier level achieved!! 😊
I’m a young Black woman and Taylor has had me in a chokehold since elementary. 😊💜
I wish you all the success possible. Keep your bravery and confidence because you are special.
You are bringing a lot of laughter to our crazy world. Thank you!
All I can say is, I LOVE watching all you post…your mind is just exquisite and you make me laugh more than anyone! Keep workn your wonderful gift, because the world truly needs it!
Totally. I’ve never been on a date or relationship and I’m 22 but I somehow connect so much to Taylor swifts songs lol
That's right if something brings people joy and not hurting anyone..let them have it!! ❤️🙌❤️
Your delivery is magnificent.
Congrats on making your 4k goal. You deserve it. Love seeing your glow up happening while we all watch. 😊
You’re one of my favorite comedians, so everytime I see one of your videos, it makes me so happy! My mom and I went to one of your shows in Austin, had the time of our lives.
Josh makes me happy every time he posts. I was having a bad day till now. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hello Josh Johnson! I love your work! I live in the Philly 'burbs, and I'm thinking of going to one of the Helium shows - but I'm afraid I'd ruin it. Seriously, when I watch your sets on TH-cam, I literally SCREAM with laughter - and that's when I can breathe, which I usually can't because I laughing so hard! I also snort, which is hella embarrassing. I mean, I'd be a great audience member (in that I find you one of the funniest people on the planet and would howl at everything you said) - but I think I'd be disruptive. So, TH-cam hive mind - what say you? Yea or nay?
Do it!
Yea! That's what comedy is for
Can you really not control yourself, or do you just like drawing attention to yourself? I say if you are going to take attention away from the performer, maybe give it a miss. People like you describe are annoying and ruin the experience for everyone else. No one needs to SCREAM with laughter, that's just self aggrandizement, IMO.
@@laurieburnside5300 Yes, I can control myself, thanks. The reason I asked (which I should have specified, if only to spare myself comments like yours.) is that I’ve heard Helium is a small venue and Josh is very talented and makes me laugh loudly. Rest assured, though - If I go, I’ll do my best not to spoil your experience.
Go and snort all over the joint! Hope to hear you on his clips.
Your SMILE 😃 your delivery 🔥 ❤❤love you JJ
Love you're work. So proud of you.
