That miles/kilometers thing didn't get the laugh it deserved. And, yes, I know Kevin too.
Allan: Wait, you mean Kevin from social media?
Fukking genius
Of course u do! Allan and kevin are renowned bffs.. allan and Kevin even have a bennifer: Alvin. Or kellan. Maybe even Kelvin. Clearly.
I KNOW! RIGHT?!
I thought it was deeper pun Myles/kilometers
he looks like if someone tried to draw Ryan Reynolds from memory
Ok funny
Dude. You are so Spot on. I am impressed with the creative tangents associated to how he looks and how absolutely pertinent your evaluation is. Lol so Spot on.
I'll take that as a compliment.
Ngl, they didn't do a bad job of it. It's really, really hard to draw faces accurately from memory.
@@mohanadelshieky3167 fair play for responding! Great set btw.
"That's how I talk to militias"
I appreciated the understated delivery of that line.
Honestly. Closer worthy.
dude was sharp
Absolutely!
This joke was too real.
it's a reference to the fact that most militias in Libya after 2011 were funded by the US and the EU.
He is a genius
"There can only be one"
Great fucking joke/reference
This guy is a genius
The GameRoom I don’t get it
@@henryd9493 it's because all religions claim their God is the only true God. So there can be only one.
@@henryd9493 Highlander bruh. Watch it, nice movie.
This guy is killing it, too bad the audience thought they were at a golf tournament.
He definitely killed Kevin for sure
David Sanchez ok David
eclitekanske golf crowds are rowdy at times
😄😄😄😄
@David Sanchez I thought it was funny but it looked like most of the audience was getting it too. Not sure what people expect an audience to do at stand up performances...stand on the chairs and throw panties? 🤪
" i don't know man, that's how i talk to militia"
ooooooooooh DAAAYYYYYYUUUUUUUUUM
Where's the lie tho?
The lie is the use of the word militia which anybody, who has access to a dictionary, knows is false
@@RHt09 oh pipedown sir 🙄
@@RHt09 it looks to me like you might go ahead and try again. Nothing wrong with being incorrect though so keep your chin up.
@@RHt09 you clearly haven't seen how the us government acts lately
The audience wasn't super responsive, but this guy is great. Killed it imo
He got a lot of laughs, you just can't hear most of it because of the way this show was mic'd.
Yes he did.
Actually, he just killed Kevin
Right?
They were dead AF!
It’s al,most like that jokes been done a million times before🙄
Thank you Comedy Central! I had a blast taping this.
Very great set man. Would love to see some more of your stuff, I noticed you don't have any uploads on your channel. I subscribed in case that ever changes. Keep up the good work!
Watched this, it's great. Found your comment here so subscribed to your page without looking,( cuz I'm stoned ) . Dude upload some content to your page says this hypocrite.Lol
@@uoDucks6 oh good im not the only one.lol
You more than deserve it! Great job!!!
Oregon jokes are great! Going to spokeane soon it sucks.
The audience consists entirely of that lady who said he's from Lebanon.
Christine Reardon i know! they’re so lame
Lol that's what I thought from when they showed the white lady after he made the all lives matter joke
Rex Flores i know exactly who you’re talking about lol
"So obviously I had to track him down and shoot him. Just to make a point." Brave. It was dead silent except for the one American in the crowd that saved us all by laughing.
Well, considering three of my favorite people have shot people before... 😬😂
Rick C well it was a joke on a stage, nothing he says is meant to be taken seriously, stop trying to boycott comedians its not like he actually shot someone
I laughed pretty hard at that point and was glad that one person in the audience had my response.
His timing sucks. I think that's why people didn't laugh. Great joke, but the timing was just awful
@@23codez It's a second language issue. His English is impeccable and his accent is very slight, but I think it's more about the inflection than timing. The way it was delivered the "to prove a point" comes off as "explaining the joke" (which makes a joke less funny) rather than being part of the punchline, which is the crux of any joke. If it the inflection was different in the delivery, it would have landed differently. It was a very funny joke and, unfortunately, I think the "to prove a point" may have even sailed over most of the audience's heads as "shooting him proves my argument in favor of gun control." Our society as a whole is not great at nuance.
He's a chill kind of funny
This bloke deserves a better audience...
Baas de Beer Also a looser pair of pants.
His humour is so subtle, I really like it
My two favourites are the Lybia joke and the "do you know Kevin?"
Libya
@@ATommy-cz1qc kind of ironic
This is actually a perfect set. Every joke kills and they are all so differently constructed. There's a theme throughout and some killer call backs. This rules. Hopefully we see more of this guy.
the miles/kilometers joke was HILARIOUS
“You have to know what your enemies are up to” 😂
"i found out they were up to the same thing"
That's actually how we all think about you guys 🔎🔎🔎🔎🔎🔎🔎
“Idk man. That’s how I talk to militias.” I LOVED that part. Very clever 😂😂
Clever jokes, good delivery, and edgy without being tacky. Mohaned killed it!🌟
its pronounced MOHAMED sir.
"Wow what a hateful haiku" lmao
@David Sanchez have you read it?
@David Sanchez There are no haikus in the Quran.
David Sanchez got em
I don’t usually comment like this but the audience did not give him the laughs he deserved
Are you above commenting or highlighting quality of performance?
Exactly what i wanted to say...
For real!!!
Ilikebeaversandeaglesupyourass sounds like you’re a conservative, I’m sorry.
Can no one fucking hear the damn audience? It's not even that quiet.
"oh some people deserve to die" so accurate when working in any form of customer service
‘ I shot her too, she had to go with Kevin.’ 🤣🤣🤣
"This seems like a you problem at this point" had me rolling 🤣
I see this guy perform in Portland all the time and he's hilarious. Awesome to see him on CC, sad to see he was dealt a shitty crowd
This room is just really spread out I think. You don’t hear a lot of laughter in any of the sets done here. You hear a lot of people laughing it’s just not loud.
Working customer service has 100% changed my view of people lol
Being in a customer service teaches you how people can be angry for nothing, living inside a call center teaches you how low key your life has become.
The structure of his show is absolutely amazing. I love it when comedians do running jokes within one set and end their act by connecting their last sentence to something they have mentioned at the very beginning. Absolutely brilliant. Love from Morocco.
Do you mean Montana?
Check out Myq Kaplan.
it's hard to see sets these days that have all of the jokes connected in more than "oh and also that happened to me too"
refreshing, to say the least
That landlord joke was a killer.
I think americans cant appreciate it cuz they dont know much about israel-arab issues haha.. I found it lovely, especially since he lowkey said what he thinks about it
@@johhnycash1515 Foreign history/relations arent even really taught in American schools so the interest in it isnt that great as an adult. So it goes into the realm of "Well I heard on the tv..." for most Americans.
I love how he gives off a wholesome vibe but also isn't wholesome lol
he's fucking gold, love his deadpan delivery, when he said "then I had to track him down and shoot him" i nearly fell off my chair
He's crazy clever with his material. I think his delivery was too chill for the audience and they missed the punchlines
Agree! Which is lame (about the audience) cause I feel the delivery was exquisitely dry
He sounds like a quiet Kumail Nanjiani
I picked that up too immediately
I totally agree with everyone, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought all that!
Well, Kumail Nanjiani is awesome, and the world can use more of his humor.
I guess he has a completely different take on things, no joke stealing or anything. Kumail's take on customer service was a skit on SNL where he realizes he's taking to Melania Trump (Cecily Strong) and they start talking for a long time, so hilarious!
With soft consonants.
If Kumail and Ryan Reynolds had a baby it’d be this guy
Lol he does!
This guy is cool, unlike Kevin.
Prolly from Spokane
I hate Kevin
@@lifewithlouie420 Same. Spokane too for that matter.
I mean how is everyone dissing Kevin's pro-bacon skills? The guy could do bacon tournaments!
I'm sorry.
I saw this guy in May when he still lived in Portland. I love his stuff, glad to see he's doing big stuff!
He said “IDK man that’s how I talk to militias” when talking about Border Patrol. Do not let that joke go over your guys head!!
I thought it was funny. But to take it literally for a second, what border were they patrolling? There's no border control from Washing to Oregon. Especially not starting from Spokane. Am I missing something?
They are essentially a federally funded right wing Militia.
“Who wrote this? Kafka? Amazing.” I’m adding this to my everyday life
My grandparents in Spokane used to call me randomly and complain about “The Muslims”. I laughed so hard when the word “Spokane” came out of his mouth
“I’d rather deal with all of that... then... have my Uber driver talk to me”
😂😂😂 mate, slow clap for that one ☝️
That blink! He's hilarious! "yeah..you need to stop" 7:11
The callback to Kevin was golden.
I hope this guy gets a 1 hour special, and that anyone who says "All lives matter" has to work a month in customer service.
Only some lives matter.
How dont all lives matter man. I mean yeah I get the connotations but like every human life matters. Its kinda how the world works.
Michael Wlazlinski I see your point, but when you brake it down a bit more, then no not all lives matter.
Michael here hasn't worked a day in customer service.
@@michaelwlazlinski8967
In one sense, all lives matter because we all have something to learn from each other; however, there are people who'd make the world a better place by not existing. Necessary evils.
“That’s not how names work, they don’t change based on location.” 💀 no laughs?? Bro, that’s hilarious because it’s such a true white guy thing to say. *tips fedora*
Idk m8 getting my name localized was pretty common abroad.
True, the fedora thing you just said made me vomit in my mouth though.
This guy is a genius 😂 he was on a roll. He's going to be big someday. Best of luck 😁
I saw this guy last night in Denver Colorado, he killed, literally. I have not laughed so hard that I cried in a very long time. Perfect set, it was this sad but that’s OK, it was my first time seeing it. Subtle well written jokes, fantastic delivery, not too over-the-top. He has a future, hopefully a bright one
He’s wasted on that crowd
Luckily we the online audience appreciated his work. I was laughing throughout the show.
Totally.
I think that’s just called the landlord. 🤣
I’m glad the Kafka joke landed
this is rare for me, but i actually laughed out loud so many times my stomach hurt. this guy's really good
This dude is like the baby of Ryan Reynolds and Kumail Nanjiani.
Any of the other false religions - very good line here
Mmm look at this walking globe!
I'm dead AF 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Were sorry about Spokane we dont know either 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Brooo I've taken that bus from Portland to Spokane...#darktimes
I got really excited when I heard him talking about Spokane but then very quickly became sad. I was super proud of Spo Con this year, too. I didn't even *know* that Border Patrol was pulling some crap up here and now I'm pretty upset.
I love the religion jokes lol.
He said "i was doing comedy in spokane washington" i got excited until he said "that place should be cancelled" lol i was like well yeah thats fair
"You're not from here, you have most of your face!" I was dying.
@@pinkharmonica7656 lol right! Im from Spokane so like i get it Haha downtown gets crazy
subdued but definitely funny... I'm here for it.
This guy is so understated and I love his voice. My kinda humor.
I love his originality and intelligence and creativity! Wow! Nicely done, Mohaned :)
Actually in france they're always changing people's names so that they sound more french. I don't even know how many times I had to say that my name is Sofia and not Sophie
Wow, that's really shitty.
but then he couldn't have made the hilarious kilometers joke
This guy is great, love the way he phrases his jokes.
This guy is awesome, love his style and delivery. Hope to see more of him, definitely.
That last one had me really cracking up.
Very, very amusing - thanks for all the laughs!
💚💜
Lmfao that militia line at the end 😂
I always thought that to do comedy you had to be very familiar w/the language and the nuances of the culture. But this guy proves that all you have to be is creatively witty.
"Who wrote this? Kafka?" Oh that got a belly laugh from me.
So good!
This guy sounds just like a more monotone Kumail Nanjiani
Yes!!
I knew his voice sounded SO familiar but I couldn’t place it! 😁
YES
I wouldve guessed it kumail just his voice myself.
I came here to say that
Coming from Spokane washington. He’s right.
Wasnt sure at first about this guy just cuz of the way he talked, but once he felt the crowd going he lit up and was wayy better. Props my guy, not many stand ups make me laugh, but im hysterical right now
I do ask myself the same question every morning! 🤣
Wow! Loved his set!! Very genuine....and loved his 'points', esp. in the end ;) And Libyan, too!! Damn, he got out!! Good 4 him!
"the best art comes from torture." :D
On a greyhound bus. Been there, done that coast to coast, border to border.
That last one was big oof lol. Shots fired xD 🔥💀
Dude. As a customer service rep for 10 years, I know exactly what he means.
Mohanad needs a better audience because he was funnier than their reactions. The "hateful haiku" part was probably my favorite part.
Is it just me or is this a super tough crowd?
I think a lot of his jokes may have gone over their heads. If they got it, they may have laughed harder
I love your first line , names don’t just change in different places !!
the end killed me 😂
This crowd didn't give him the laughs he deserved... he was hilarious!!
Oh my God, not yours... that was good!
Bro... that set rocks!
"I also have opinions, but they're good."
I like this guy. I wish we could work together.
Hahaha, his acid sense of humor is just so good! Absolutely loved it
him "Spokane sucks"
me "screw you guy, Washington is great!"
him "So I went back to Portland, where I live"
me "Hell yeah, screw Spokane!"
That’s going to be my answer to everything from now on, lmao uhm I support God
I went to Spokane once for the Worlds Fair back in the '70s. Guess it's gone downhill from there!
Great set. Loved it!
"Have you guys seen opinions, lately?" Lmaooo
This guy is genuinely hilarious
Man, I am so sorry for those experiences in customer service. I see catastrophic stupidity routinely as well.
Hoping to remove myself from that nightmare soon.
Love this dude. Definitely going to try and see more of his material.
Tied everything together well. Love the getting off the bus bit. Well done through the whole set.
6:09 I can relate, I'm from Lebanon and people think I'm from Lybia :D
Americans find Lybia and Lebanon confusing?
@@necoragha65 yup. Also "Lebanese" and "lesbian" somehow. That joke has been in a few sitcoms
@@bassemb Haha....actually I shouldn't be surprised.
His accent sounds Irish italien hahaha amazing!
So funny would love to see him live
Oh Gosh, had a blast, keep it up!!! That is awesome :)
The subdued delivery and the socio-political commentary paired like a dinner/wine I couldn't dream of affording. So good.
Agreed
I dont know, man, that's how I talk to militias.🤣👏👏👏
Awesome! Made me start the morning with a smile. Hopefully we see more of him.
This guy is Hysterical! I’d love to see more of him.
That’s a tight 10min!
He’s awesome, the audience was dull, great set
This was great :) Love your comedy
This guy is hilarious. Very understated but his jokes are on point.
