He did this whole Henry bit when I saw him in Toronto too. I really don’t know why, it was weird. Other than that he did a really good job when I saw him, except his Venmo joke turned into something way funnier because Venmo isn’t a thing in Canada and he riffed with the audience about it for a while!
@@CrocusSeal that’s what I thought initially, but then I thought about the logistics and it doesn’t check out. Trusting a different kid at every single show to remember their lines and not screw up? Or what if it’s the same kid? Does he share a tour bus with John? Does he earn a salary? Is it enough to support his family? Do his family tour with him or does he come home to after a gruelling 10 weeks on the road and enter fourth grade with a bodyguard and a coke problem? None of it seemed plausible. So, after spending entirely too long (literal years) pondering this on and off, I’ve concluded its one of those sneaky little show-biz tricks where they play the audio over the sound system to make it seem like he’s speaking to a kid, but there isn’t actually anyone there. As he was touring in big arenas where there’s thousands of people, so I guess nobody noticed?
My dad’s mom took my mother’s side in the divorce, lol. She’s the sweetest lady ever, she has a better social life than any of us. We try calling her all the time and she’s out with friends.
Say what you will about the "camera work" edit to avoid copyright, but that cut of him praying at 4:37 and the camera panning up to no one being there is epic.
I saw this special on the tour before its release and he talked to a kid in it also. Never realized that some people would put crowd work into the script of their special.
Did they give all the drugs they took away from John to his cameraman? What is he trying to frame? Random wall, ceiling panel, John in the lower left corner, the entire stage with just John's head tiny at the bottom of the frame. Did they pay this guy?
I had 3 grandparents (one that I never met; he was divorced and estranged from my father's Mom), my stepdad's mom, and my paternal grandmother's husband who I called Paw Paw. Hope you took notes.
I can tell this was when he used to do cocaine by his demeanor Not knocking the guy, I live entirely off of coffee and smoking, that's just cocaine but not all at once. Like grazing instead of a big steak dinner of jacking you up
Why u say clickbait if there is john mulaney and u also know its not that easy to be visible in youtube and i feel content was good . That should matter.
they’re talking about the other girl. I’ve read your replies to another comment and you said it was because you like her. Cool cool cool. If you like her so much, save her picture for the thumbnail of a video that’s actually relevant to her! If you put her in the thumbnail, we’re all gonna think John’s talking about her
@@respect_standup_comedians "i feel content was good . That should matter." Sure, but it isn't even your content lmao. You literally stole content and are now getting mad that you aren't being praised for your stolen content being good.
@@davidezell923 Not stealing just uploading as a fan so people who search can also view this is copyrighted I'm not earning anything the copyright owners will earn as they have claimed it
@@Macx204 I get what you are saying here, but this is presented as an organic interaction on the day, it is not in my opinion. Maybe there were two seperate Henry's coincidentally? Wonder if he(nry)showed up in any other cities
@@Macx204 they rework material over and over until it's comedicly perfect. They also remove hacky material from specials, or even before it gets filmed.
Probably to avoid copyright. A long continuous clip of something is easy to determine as stolen. You used to be able to even flip the whole thing upside down and it would pass without copyright strikes but now you have ti get tricky. Hope that makes sense.
Yeah, that’s the point of the show To show why his selfishness screwed him over You’ve identified the issue he has with himself, and are upset that you understood that because…?
Yes that’s his problem, but that’s the point. He knows that is his problem and that’s what the joke is. Besides, he has the Netflix special.. ppl must care in some way
🎵🎶"Likeability is a jailllllll!"🎶🎵
Too true.
Is _that_ what the line was?
I couldn't understand what he said after Bo Burnham is less problematic.
Thank you I had the captions on and it says "...Is a gym" and it never made sense
It would be so funny if Henry went on to have a successful stand-up career after this.

@Georgia M
He did something similar with his bit about the O.J. Simpson trial.
Lucy, was the young lady's name.
Or a huge coke head.
@@georgiam4725 Wait....so does his team just plant some kid named Henry in the audience on every stop of the tour? lol

John is definitely one of the best stand up acts today. Glad to see he's in good health.
It Sucks especially after the LIE that murdered our own recently just like he said at beginning.
John Mulaney: Ask your mom
Me: Mom, did dad’s mom do a great job-
Mom: N O P E.
Oh, he would make a great Crowley. That pretty-boy innocent face, and yet "which grandparent could you kill?"
I thought for a good minute he was having an imaginary conversation with the statue
Oh 100%
Ironically, my dad's mom is my only surviving grandparent at a whopping 106 years old.
My dad’s mom took my mother’s side in the divorce, lol. She’s the sweetest lady ever, she has a better social life than any of us. We try calling her all the time and she’s out with friends.
I saw kids getting casts signed and I looked at the stairs like "it would only hurt like hell for like 2 or 3 hours."
“ and I thought ms america was the Statue of Liberty.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I don't understand why Kat Dennings is in the thumbnail
she just looked dark in this image and I'm a huge fan of her so.
@@respect_standup_comedians ah clickbait. Got it.
@@respect_standup_comedians So literally no reason lmao
@@respect_standup_comedians I mean, that's a pretty good reason lmao.
she’s hot
The close cut tape is actually really fitting for his performance and it's kinda uncanny
11:03 am."Likeability is a jail" hits. And with that my first drink of the day.
I didn’t want my grandparents to die I just wanted to break a leg 😂
Why is Kat Denning in the thumbnail..?
came here to ask this
Only reason I clicked the video . Huge letdown
Infamous click bait. That's the way of TH-cam nowadays 😮
Because boobs
She Got Big bOObs

This special was great this dude is one of the all time greats
I also thought he was talking to the statue 😂
John: will I be liable for this
Bro dads losing dads is crazy tho the same thing happened too mine
And it’ll happen to you too
The dad's mom joke works without killing people 😊
I had 3 grandparents (one that I never met; he was divorced and estranged from my father's Mom), my stepdad's mom, and my paternal grandmother's husband who I called Paw Paw. Hope you took notes.
WTF is with the camera focus on this? It’s too distracting.
it's to defeat automatic copyright protection
Never taken a picture with my dad let alone a family pic....he was weird b4 and weirder after his dad died
Lol
Did I miss something? why was Darcy on the thumbnail?
Love this guy!!!
I HATE the camera work on this special. Funny jokes, but the cameras are awful.
This is a rip from Netflix. It's zoomed in from the actual footage, the official version isn't bad
I can tell this was when he used to do cocaine by his demeanor
Not knocking the guy, I live entirely off of coffee and smoking, that's just cocaine but not all at once. Like grazing instead of a big steak dinner of jacking you up
Bold of you to assume I had one of those (grandparents) they robbed me of having my bean bag day
Does he ever talk about mom's dad?
Seen this live absolutely incredible
Great bit from Mulaney's special. However, I am disliking it for the straight up clickbait thumbnail

Likability is a jail.
@toobusytocreateaname
Thank you!
My paternal grandfather died when my dad was 15 and my mum's mother died when I was 5... so nope, never thought of that...
Mom’s dad is the most expendable
8:04 I happen to be watching this on July 17th 😅
thought there was a kat dennings joke i somehow forgot about turns out it's just clickbait yay
deadass thought kat dennings had made a video about this special
Why is Kat Denning in the thumbnail
The only way to get views is have a hot chick for clickbait
@@benburns9505 but John is already there
Mulaney for MTMTE's Swerve when the time comes.
My grandma died during the school Year and my birthday is the 17 of july perfect line up
"Henry" was at the Ottawa show as well, take that for what it's worth... I thought it was organic at the time but knowing he is a plant... Cringe
Wait really? It's just a bit?
Good bit regardless.
Even guys like Bill Burr reuse bits and same with Theo Von some of the most off the cuff comics re use material sometimes it’s whatever.
@@Macx204 I get what you are saying here, but this is presented as an organic interaction on the day, it is not in my opinion. Maybe there were two seperate Henry's coincidentally? Wonder if he(nry)showed up in any other cities
@@Macx204 they rework material over and over until it's comedicly perfect. They also remove hacky material from specials, or even before it gets filmed.
So was the video or editing person blind?
They zoom in on parts so it doesn’t get copyrighted
Why the picture of Kat Dennings in the thumbnail?
it's not complicated...
Why doesn't every thumbnail have a picture of Kat?
@@gredeeLOL
I was confused abt that too
We all have issues m my ex just didn't get it
11yr old at the show???!! WTF seems a bit irresponsible of the parents
i don’t think it’s irresponsible, it just depends on if the kid can handle it. different kids can see things of different emotional maturity levels.
Right!!😬
His f word slip !!, w/ the 11 yr old so far in the crowd . 😬
The camera man who filmed this should be fired.
A child audience plant is a weird. It makes sense... Public relations and all that.
Still kinda gross.
Why…..do they keep panning to random shots of the architecture?
Probably to avoid copyright. A long continuous clip of something is easy to determine as stolen.
You used to be able to even flip the whole thing upside down and it would pass without copyright strikes but now you have ti get tricky.
Hope that makes sense.
These are typically wide shots of the stage and the audience but because the video got cropped it's not as apparent
Was Henry a plant? Like a nephew?
He’s very vain. Me me me. Everything is about me… really, no one cares about your personal life..
Yeah, that’s the point of the show
To show why his selfishness screwed him over
You’ve identified the issue he has with himself, and are upset that you understood that because…?
He was definitely correct about his reputation taking a hit after his surprise divorce and near-immediate baby with new partner.
Yes that’s his problem, but that’s the point. He knows that is his problem and that’s what the joke is. Besides, he has the Netflix special.. ppl must care in some way
What’s he supposed to tell jokes about? Other ppls lives and experiences ?
Bro just figured out what stand up is 💀
