He posted one on his Instagram. I was gonna comment with a link but can't do that here. You'll have to scroll all the waaay back though. He posted it in 2015. Lol
okay wait i just did some investigation and i found some info on the shooting that killed the coach’s son, and now i am genuinely so so sad. turns out the coach was the one to find his son dead in the alley where the carjacking happened. it’s just so senseless and sad.
Thanks Lilayyy for sharing your research. That’s the kind of thing I would do too...it’s always sad when some senseless violence like this happens, but I can’t help but be curious
Saw him last night in Poughkeepsie. He killed it. All focus on his rehab stint. Very well done. Will be polished for a nf special soon I guess. Stay healthy JM!
The Catholic grade school basketball stories are so relatable and true, down to the weird friend of the coach who just hung out at practices. I played in games in the last 2 minutes of the fourth quarter if we were up by 20. Bench warmers unite! Thanks for the laughs, John.
"that was the first time I'd ever heard, there was, an alternative." Swoosh! It's really interesting seeing a comic still in development. He's talking and you see him losing the audience and then his delivery gets flat and like he's just trying to remember the right order to say his lines in. But then something hits with the audience and his face lights up and he takes on the speech mannerisms and demeanour we're more familiar with
I kind of wish he would try to go more conversational and anecdotal in his next special. It would be interesting to see something that isn't so polished with no fat on it
You couldn't really hear the end of it because people were making noise but he says "that's the first time I ever heard there was an alternative to basketball so I became the best at that" meaning doing drugs and alcohol. I've heard him do some of this bit elsewhere where you can hear all of it.
I was half listening to this while working and the laugh at 18:41 that sounds like she was doing back up vocals in the B-52s Rock Lobster totally threw me.
I just now caught "sometimes he probably rented a movie and made a night out of it" oh my god how did I miss that last time I watched this clip ahahaha
Wow! The detailed version of the bit I've heard probably 20 times. It got really personal and autobiographical. I wonder why he cut the bit about his coach's first words after his son dying.
@@raemorefield4677 think they were saying THIS is the detailed version. Cause he did a bit about basketball in The Top Part but this is longer and more detailed about how bad he was at basketball and has more story to it.
It delights me to have something in common with John Mulaney. It was volleyball and not basketball, but I too was a benchwarmer, and my team decided my number would be 13, the unlucky one, because every time I attempted to do anything serious something bad would happen. I sprained my fingers so many times. Got bloody noses and gave them to others. I was one of three usual benchwarmers and we too would be put into the game the second half of the last set (I don't know if that's the word, the matches were divided into three parts). One time we managed to catch a very difficult throw from the other team, and we were so in awe we watched the ball roll up high to ceiling (which was quite tall), and then come back down, and there was two of us supposed to catch it, and we both extended our arms (in a bagher, I don't know the word again), and the ball fell to the ground between us about half a meter distant from both, and we lost the point
Yoy couldn't really hear the end of it because people were making noise but he says "that's the first time I ever heard there was an alternative to basketball so I became the best at that" (meaning doing drugs and alcohol).
Notice something very important: Early John Mulaney had lots of ums and you knows. He exorcised all of them from his speaking habits. To watch his later stuff, he speaks with absolutely no hitches whatsoever and his delivery is flawless. But it came with practice.
Well I think when he's working out material this is what its like even now (little notebook and all lol). A good example of this is the clip of him working out some of the material he did in his snl monologue (3rd time). He does the joke about dads having no friends and I wouldnt say there were no hitches. But by his monologue that weekend its right where it needs to be. So i think with practice he figured out how to work out material quickly to be able to get a very tight set with just right delivery. Its always interesting to see the process tho.
@@SG-qj8ne Oh snap, I just realized that that is the ‘I shall scream’ titled episode that I’ve been listening to at least weekly… if not daily for the past year myself 😂 The whole ‘P’cast’ from start to finish is gold.
Well by this time he already had writing experience on Comedy Central and Mr. Show. And then also worked extensively with other greats like Birbiglia and Kroll and Holmes and what have you.
@@harrisondunn6684 Well that might explain how he was THIS good, but it only raises more questions, such as, how tf was he THAT good as an even younger kid ?
Hilarious! The first time I saw the bulls play against my 76ers was in middle school. Jordan and Barclay both scored over 50 that night. Great story! Watch out for hoops Mulaney
Two things: 1. My fiancée is actually a fairly direct descendant of Solomon Schechter. I’ll see about spreading the word to the family at large that the Chicago school’s basketball team has a history of being conniving shitheels and see what they can do. 2. As the fat kid who was permanently incapable of doing sports properly in school, the nickname “Tank” really hit me where I live.
@@catytheredheadedalaskan8118 he was sober here and by that, I mean you can be in recovery and be considered sober even if you’re taking cough medication for a cough. Sobriety looks different to different people. You’re just stigmatizing addiction. I hope you realize you shouldn’t be so careless with your words. Like, I see you’re trying to be funny. But just because you watch comedians, it doesn’t mean YOU’RE funny.
8:10 - it is vodka 100%. The way he holds the water bottle a little too much, the way he swigs from it, the way he gets more comfortable and the delivery is smoother and he's so much more comfortable in just a couple minutes... It's very much alcohol.
woah a John bit I havent seen before
yeah it’s so exciting! it’s been hard trying to find clips I haven’t seen before
Right??? I got so excited when I stumbled across this.
Lol I saw this comment and realized I liked it before
This isn't that different. He just added to his basketball joke from his top part special
He prefers Jon
John: "I'm a little high on dayquil"
Narrator: It was not dayquil.
Plot twist: The narrator is either A. Also John Mulaney or B. Nick Kroll
"I'm a little high on DayQuil" later casually mentions alcoholics mask their drinking with cough syrup

I’m assuming that’s a Ron Howard voiceover

"I know a guy with hooks for hands"
"What are three other things about him?"
Heavily underrated comment
Just beautiful man..,just beautiful 😂🤣🤣😂
well first, he PUSHED him.
I'M GAY, I HAVE AIDS, I HAVE HOOKS FOR HANDS
Well he has a pirate hat and a peg leg and an eyepatch and sometimes a parrot on his shoulder… do you think he’s some sort of beleaguered trader?
@5:35 “I always had a big ego. Even as a baby, I would think ‘Ooh I’m soft, and fun, and I look great.” Lmao
I loved that 😂
He's such an amazing storyteller I could see every scene he was talking about LOL he's great omg
“I love Jewish people!” And the chorus of voices from the future cried out, “We know!”
Okay, I didn’t expect this joke to age so drastically in a week. :(

You can so easily see flashes of the greatness we were all about to experience. John is amazing.
I love watching baby Mulaney. Thank you for posting this.
i want more!!!
*gasp* a John Mulaney video I have not yet seen
60% of the crowd's reaction is them saying "aw"
that's why he cut all the sad shit out but I feel like it added a lot of depth to it.
Just like the ladies u bring 2 bed..
COMEDY'S GOLDEN BOY! Get well John. We need you.
Dude is such a great storyteller. Epic bit lol
my GOD he is so attractive
He is Irish. We are a gorgeous people.
He looks like Pierce Brosnan when he was that age!
@@billhillard lol
Awww You’ll end up satisfied having such pedestrian tastes
as a jewish girl from chicago who knows many people who went to Schechter, this is hilarious
I went to one in long island, and i was laughing very hard because we suck at any and all sports
"I love Jewish people, and I *fetishize* Jewish women" ... fast-forward to JM's relationship with Anna Tendler 😇

10:16 - and now he's married to one, so I guess he's living his dreams
the self-awareness of that line made me laugh so fucking hard
I thought the same exact thing, and she's a fox.
I literally screamed during that part 😂😂😂
He even mentioned that he loves Jewish girls too. lol
aged poorly

You could just tell he was bound for greatness.
the best part is that Nick Kroll went to Solomon Schechter (the one in Westchester but same thing)
SECRET JOHN STANDUP
I squealed
Seeing as John became a struggling alcoholic, that shit bites hard
I've been playing the same videos over and over again, thank you for uploading this nugget
guy at 6:33 is a real one
Honestly, the point he made about not essentializing people with disabilities was pretty legit.
Hm I learned a new word today
He says, as a primarily tall, sickly child

Wow!! Thank you. I can't believe that I caught something I've never seen of him in probably the worst time of my life. Such an amazing storyteller.
6:34 - When the friend you invited to your standup show gives you a big laugh and is also Pete Holmes.
good shout!
"His mom rode a bicycle so we decided she was a lesbian". That sentence transported me back to middle school immediately.
that one guy laughing rlly loudly- i appreciate his energy
So cool to see how his bits evolve!
I was half listening to this while working and the laugh at 18:41 that sounds like she was doing back up vocals in the B-52s Rock Lobster totally threw me.
It's about time this was uploaded to the tube, before I was only able to see it via a sometimes broken link on the UCB website
I just now caught "sometimes he probably rented a movie and made a night out of it" oh my god how did I miss that last time I watched this clip ahahaha

Sometimes I wonder how many videos of mulaney haven’t been uploaded yet I’ve watched almost all of them on here

@@BelaCurcio every day i’m digging for bootlegs of the sundays with pete and john tour 😔
The long version of the basketball bit! Wonderful
I hope he is doing okay in recovery. Can't wait to see him again.
They say he's back now! And there will be shows soon
There’s an alternative reality where John Mulany practiced and got really really good at basketball and became a famous nba player
I doubt it
No there certainly is not. The alt universe where he has hooks for hands is like 100,000x more likely just due to pure bitter irony.
"Mulaney comes off the screen and puts it up for three... BANG! There goes that proud Asian-American woman."
No there isn't

…catch a throw? in volleyball? I don’t want to sound patronising but I honestly am so confused haha
"My brain has to...out source the job..."🤣🤣🤣
This guy is great 👍
this is such an underrated skit I love itttttt
You kept the bench at a reasonable temperature, you should be proud
Seeing John Mulaney in a t-shirt is like seeing the pope in his underwear.
You're an awaeome person, @JohnMulaney. Outside and healthy or inside and working on yourself - you are loved.
Two things:
1. This is brilliant.
2. Who's laughing at John now? EVERYONE CUZ HE'S HILARIOUS.
“My brain then had to outsource the job!” Hahaha
Only John Mulaney would word that concept this way and it’s fucking perfect. It really is what separates him
this is so solid! love this guy
"but still, he hadn't spoken"
UnIronically my favorite recorded routine of his
its like anything anyone wouldve blocked out of their youth he did the opposite and it makes for such damn good stories
10:42 "dudes ....he made me experience high tide!!" laugh
ty for uploading this! I cant believe i haven't seen !
thought this was a bit I haven't seen before but then I realized that this is the Basketball bit from The Top Part in its early stages.
“What country is that in blue?” In BLUE?!? That’s an ocean!

the shitty part is he probably started drinking around that time
Yea he said he was 13 in his The Top Part comedy special, it's also on Spotify for those of you who want to listen.
…you mean in the story? Because if you mean at the time of recording, that’s incorrect.
He actually looks like a 12 year old throwing a fit in the thumbnail.

great punchline. i went deep in the paint when i got wind of the alternitive.. .
