i was thinking that myself,...he either doesn't know, or was saying the kid was overweight. either way the joke still lands, my mind just replaces it with either tungsten or lead.
Does this dude just live at the improv?! I swear he cranks out an immaculate half hour set in no time flat! Putting every Netflix special to shame twice a week. Keep it up Josh!!!
My baby sister recently passed away and Josh Johnson has been the only one getting me threw it. I can’t listen to any music or watch any shows or even be around people right now, but this man has helped me so much. He’ll never know how much his comedy truly means to me ❤
"Both of them were being assholes, but only ONE of them was at WORK... ONE of them has a gun" These are the crucial points so many miss when talking about this. Thank you, Josh, for another great set. 💐💐💐
7 seconds between you're too scary to sit in your car to you aren't SO scary we won't climb in after you. The cop should've just let his ego go and wrote the tickets he ended up writing 17 mins and 2 assaults later. 🙄
In Taiwan the cops don't stop you for traffic ticket. They take your photograph commiting the traffic violation and send the picture to your mailing address and you go pay the fine. Seems more efficient and safer for everyone.
Chicago has lots of speed cameras. But they also have speed traps where the speed limits drops arbitrarily and the camera is set up to catch all the people who didn’t notice. It’s a big money maker for the city.
He was doing 60 in a 40 in a CONSTRUCTION ZONE! People seem to forget that part. The cop is there as a deterrent to try and make sure people slow down for the safety of the construction workers. But that part apparently doesn't matter. Don't worry about possibly killing a construction worker or a pedestrians, just make sure you get to your game.
Was pulled over after leaving work back in the late70's. My shift at work had ended and as I was leaving we got a bomb threat- good time to be leaving right? Cops be rolling in, one turns around, lights me up, so I pull over in a gas station- in my stoner van- and they're yelling at me to get out of the van. I get out, see a rifle and 2 hand guns pointed at me. These cops were all plainclothes and were probably shocked to see a small, white woman step out. They asked me who was in the van, no one but me. I asked if they were investigating the bomb threat at the phone company building across the street, yes they said to which I reply, this the gas station, you might wanna go check out the building that's under threat of being blown up. People with guns are damn scary. Period. Watch your videos every night and catch you on Comedy Central. Totally enjoy your work.
Math aint mathing... 30 years old minimum for "short lady" comment... "late 70s".. we'll say 1979.. if you were 30 in 1979 you're 75 years old currently leaving comments on yt about comedians... I dunno meemaw

@@FanFicnic Josh did a full set on Diddy - like 30 minutes - the day Diddy was arrested and his charging papers were made public. He didn’t get a single fact wrong and every “joke” or “punchline” was spot on, fresh and SO funny. I put those two words in quotes because Josh is so much more than a comedian. He’s a storyteller. He’s an observationist.) The journey to the end of one of his stories/observtions is most of the fun! And he always explains - humorously, of course - the topics or situations he’s going to cover. “For those who don’t know who so-and-so is, let me explain … “ I know I’m in on the joke when he says that! I discovered Josh through that TH-cam comedy set he did on Diddy. I couldn’t believe how smart was. I’ve been sending his videos to everyone, and I’ve been bingeing his stuff ever since. I’m signed up for everything to show my support. Yep, Josh’s the one to watch!
I love that Josh isn't afraid of doing sets on serious subjects. He has great insight so I enjoy his take on these current topics. Looking forward to this set.
Yes! The first time it was different, but thought provoking and still very humorous ...as they got longer I wondered how he'd pull it off, but he did. I think as hungry as we might be for laugh & escape, there's such a a lack of empathy and common sense out there, that it's just lovely the way he combines all the things. 😊
Amen on the whole "guys with guns shouldnt be doing traffic violations". I'm a 60 year white woman who grew up with my dad's best friend being a cop and I'm still terrified when one of em shows up in my rearview mirror.
@@carolinthegarden6084 If you want to take away the right to carry arms, you're going to have a hard time convincing cops and their fanboys. the hero fantasy keeps them going.
22:06 Employees of our cities, counties, and states should not be approaching drivers in the same manner as carjackers. They should not be breaking into our houses in the middle of the night indistinguishably from home invaders. This should not be controversial. Excellent as always, thanks a million Josh!
Intelligence should be a source saw him enter the building, not last known address at the DMV before dynamic entry. If the evidence they have could be flushed, it's too low level for dynamic entry.
This is apples to oranges when it comes to police interactions, but reflects the abuse of authority some officers try to take. I'm a 5'1", white, small-framed woman and I had an officer threaten to arrest me for being belligerent because I wouldn't agree with his version of events. His version was a lie. It was incredibly intimidating, but I wasn't afraid for my life either. I was able to hold out by making it clear that my attorney would be requesting a copy of his car and body cam footage and he eventually backed down. (I don't really have an attorney.) I can't imagine how that conversation would have gone if I weren't in a privileged position in a very public area and had to be worried about more than being taken to jail on false charges.
My Mom is a 5’3” Caucasian lady who is the smartest, toughest, brightest, most graceful person I’ve ever known. And she still gets terrified for me working nights because of the encounters I’ve had with our law officers. It’s not right that we have to prove we’re innocent before they can bring us harm. Cheers to you.
Yeah police need to be seriously reprimanded every single time they do something illegal. And like they need to get demotions and removed from force. And like they need to get demotions and removed from Force. 25% of the police in my town have committed embezzlement and fraud. Yeah, they're only required to return the money they stole. So like cops can steal shitloads of money and all they have to do is just give it back.
You know, it takes more courage for a weak guy (like myself) to try to help lift something than a strong guy. For the strong guy, it's easy. For the weak guy, he's putting everything into that push.
Exactly. I would appreciate the help of a scrawny dude more than a big one precisely because of that. This might sound weird, but it's also just nicer to lift with a weaker guy; makes me feel like we're working as a team rather than some giant hulk is lifting a titanium stroller with one hand and I'm also here. Don't get me wrong, it's still a kindness either way, but it's like how you'd appreciate someone giving you 10 bucks they can barely spare more than Elon Musk tipping 10.
😂😂😂As a woman i find it hilarious that you think it takes courage to lift something. That would explain why it’s so hard to get men to lift anything.😂😂😂
cerebral, physical comedy, facial expressions, relatability, grace & kindness and just plain clever. So many things...he deserves all the success in the world. 🌍
I'm usually all on board for his jokes, but the stroller one was too much. self-deprecating is one thing but he put himself in the pathetic category to make yourself seem that weak. cmon
@@mada575 He doesn't have to be physically strong, damn, just let the man be the most intelligent and funny comic genius who isn't Bo Burnham. Not everyone has to be Hercules up in here.
I thought this too... He is doing many styles of comedy all at once! I find myself chuckling and cant tell when he is just telling a great joke... and when it is a true life experience. TALENT IN THE HOUSE
Idk, when people are rude to me, I certainly WANT to respond similarly. It takes some heavy self control, but it also takes self control to not be rude. You'd also think that, with all these cops shooting people with VERY little reason, people might be a bit more incentivized to not be rude and belligerent. There aren't many good possible outcomes when choosing to be an asshole. There are even less when the person you do it to is police.
Oh you sweet precious soul. I hope you are protected wherever you go. Because my man got the noodle arms and was always gonna struggle with that stroller🤣🤣🤣 but bless you for being charitable!
Josh, you have a tone, a voice & manner that has a calming effect on your audience. No matter the decisiveness or seriousness of the headline you don't force your views onto us. Each set is fresh, on point & funny as all fuck! I adore yo Afore you
Mom strength is for reals 😄 I’m 5 ft and can easily lift my toddler’s 30 lbs giant stroller wagon up the porch steps while my 5’10 husband always asks for help. That being said, it’s still very kind of you to offer the help 😅 Thanks for this very funny and relatable set for this suburban mom
I remember my niece as a toddler one time we were out and she was tired and wanted me to carry her. After like 5 mins my arms were on fire and I was suffering in silence wondering how the hell women do this 😅. Pride was the only thing that got me through it because my gf at the time was there and I couldn't let her see me struggle
@@ken_kaniff246Dude same here. I remember being a preteen and trying to pick up my cousin’s baby and just failing. It was like the baby was made outta bowling balls I could not get him off the ground. My younger sister came over and picked him up like he weighed nothing. I just remember thinking “either I need to workout or wait for this baby to grow up because there’s no way in hell I’m gonna be able to toss him around in the pool or give him piggyback rides”.
You sound like my sister, but she's 5'1 1/4" and won't let you forget that quarter. And her husband is a beast. Played high school lacrosse and was only put in to take other players out. He spent more time in the penalty box than he did playing. He wasn't the craziest on the team, too. One guy got cracked in the skull by a stick, huge laceration. He grabbed a stapler, stapled his skull shut, and demanded to go back out. Coach wouldn't let him, for obvious reasons...
Josh has a point. Highways are becoming more dangerous to be sitting on the side of the road for a ticket. We need to change the system to ticketing through plates.
absolutely a rational, smart, safe option... but we still need cops to help with people who are not JUST speeding.. a scanner cant take into account swerving or speeding up and slowing down fast...
Just being devil’s advocate. What if someone else is using your car and they get a bunch of tickets? You lose your license and have insurance rates sky rocket. Maybe not such a good plan.
Upon being the target of police brutality, Tyreek “Domestic Violence” Hill pleaded numerous times that he was one of them. Said he idolized the cops and wants to join.
Ngl every time I watch a new set by Josh, I get a little irritated with TDS. What in the WORLD are they doing/thinking, typecasting this dude into the character they seem to limit him to in every appearance? I've watched stand up for 40+ years, and I do NOT throw around names like Carlin/Pryor around lightly when comparing a comedian's talent/presence/depth of material. IMO, Josh Johnson has THAT level of talent/presence/depth. His introspection, his delivery, his ability to connect with his audience in an intelligent, relatable, humble way which makes them laugh but also makes them THINK and EMPATHIZE. This dude is generational, and I have a feeling that several years from now, I'm not going to be the only one putting him in the same tier with those other legendary names.
I'm glad somebody else noticed. We're still in the Dave Chapelle era, and with Katt Williams' interview, people will need a little more time to catch up.
@@keithallen8693 We are capable of appreciating everyone simultaneously. What we are seeing is more people deciding to speak their truth, instead of playing to the stereotypes.
Me too. Stand up has been my favorite art form since high school…in the sixties, Carlin, Pryor and then 30 years pass and we have Josh…Did some Carlin listening last night. The complete cynicism, the sarcasm….not part of Josh. just the best eye and descriptive power I have ever heard from anybody, anytime. this guy is the Dostoyevsky of comedy. he misses nothing..ever.
Josh, you’re a national freakin treasure! You’ve quickly become on of my absolute favorite comedians, and I’m so excited to see you becoming so successful!! You deserve every bit of it!
Bro! I'm from Canada, i am white as snow, and i can tell you, i feel the same when i see the Christmas lights on my back, even i'm totally sober and legit, having to deal with someone you don't know and has a gun on the belt, never good time
I'm also in your position as a ghosty canuck, and am super super fortunate to have only had to deal with police in instances where they are answering domestic calls my family has made, and it was when I was far younger. The other instances were when my mom would send me to the cops posted up at a popular 3 way stop sign that was notoriously rolled through/ignored to give them fresh baked cookies and muffins 😂 maybe that's why they were always so courteous with our house, haha. It has definitely left me with a naivety/blind spot to potential bad encounters with police, but it's also just very different here I think compared to the US. I think a lot of Canadians are raised with the 'apologize for everything' mind-set, and it truly goes a long way to de-escalating problems quickly and disarming a lot of angry reactions
These types of examples and ways of putting it are so not threatening to those on "the other side" so they are more likely to actually hear it instead of trying to come up with an argument to fight back. They end up listening and you may be able to turn a person or two to the other side.
Spot on with what we allow police to get away with. I was recently approached by a cop with his gun drawn while driving my car because he suspected it was a stolen vehicle. (Unfortunately, my license number was the same as a car reported stolen except the stolen car also had handicapped plates). As this was the third time I'd been stopped but the first time an officer felt the need to have his gun so ready, I visited the DMV and paid for new plates. At the time of the stop I was driving in downtown Chicago on a Sunday afternoon and the whole scene felt surreal. Fortunately, seeing a 71 year old female whose innocence was pretty obvious caused the cops to back down pretty quickly, but they almost seemed disappointed. The cop who stopped me the second time assured me he'd had to pull older drivers out of their cars before and seemed to think that was something to be proud of. He seemed to be on a macho man trip. I wish "officers of the peace" was a moniker that was both celebrated and embraced by those brave men and women who protect and defend. I think it would serve the public better.
I've seen you with your shirt off, Josh. I KNOW that wasn't a true story about the stroller, but thanks for telling it. I can always count on you to lift my mood.

Respect needs to be earned, and I'm of the opinion that cops need to go even further to earn it than regular folk. At least until they stop just shuffling repeat offending officers to different precincts/states and trying to bury corruption and civil rights abuses, and there doesn't seem to be a light at the end of that particular tunnel.
The only thing for me is the super dark tinted windows and refusing to lower it. How are the cops supposed to know if the driver is reaching for a weapon or not?
If your parents dinnae teach you to be respectful, and the school system dinnae teach you to be respectful, there's only one way you will learn to be respectful. The hard way. This is nae as big a problem outside the states. Idolising an idiot who plays a sport is a mistake. And let us not forget; organised sports are just another form of enslavement. The players make millions; the privileged old white owners make bbbillions. And they are referred to as "team owners", buying and selling their property. Maybe that is why so many athletes in the states are so angry.
I remain in ABSOLUTE AWE of your ability to do such incredible comedy *consistently* while also leading with empathy and letting toward social change. I have been introducing your stuff to my oldest and we adore your work and the kind soul you put on display for us all. Thanks again.
They pull you over in Germany if they suspect you're drunk driving or smuggling something, or something is wrong with your car. If you're just speeding, they send you the ticket per mail with a nice picture. The difference is that in Germany, the police usually assume they are the only ones armed, so they are less trigger-happy when they pull you over.
Same with Russia. You know. That country that is supposed to be a third world country and western sanctions where support knock back to the 19th century. Yeah that country.
Josh totally deserves all the love going his way, he's the best comedian I've ever seen, not just in how funny he is but his ability to come up with just s o much material. Incredible.
As someone who's worked in the food service industry, I think all employees should be allowed to behave the same way cops do. How many times do you see a situation escalated when a cop perceives disrespect from the person they are dealing with? They get angry, or snap and then use force to get their way. I think all waiters and waitresses, fast food workers and customer service people should be allowed to act the same way as long as the police are.
Bro you’re the best. It’s always atleast a little bit of something really heavy- and you bring it to the discussion with Grace and Respect, while being able to comedically point out the absurdity of any injustice… I can’t tell you what you mean to us all… within this Wonderful, and probably wildly diverse community you have created around your work
The jump from cute blue eyed blonde boy, to felon… certainly changed my interaction with police during traffic stops. As if I AM doing SOMETHING wrong, if they can only find it- and I am a threat requiring back up… despite years positive interactions (compliance and regular check ins for years after prison) with authority now on record. I can’t imagine that being the default setting- and with all the racism and fear from the ‘professionals’.. often fucking children with guns.. if you were to add felon on top of that. And ‘regular offender’… which I now can attest simply means they know your car and life now, you stand out. Again- I can’t imagine how much more so when you start naturally.. at the level of discrimination I have earned for myself.
Well, I don't know much about youtube, but having over forty likes on a comment that you posted just a minute ago seems like some real robot behavior. What service do you use? Asking for a friend.
I'm a middle-aged white suburban woman, so I will never understand the fear others feel around police officers, but with all the police violence around the country, even *I* am scared to get pulled over these days... The fact that they walk up to your car with their hand on their holster? Can they like.... NOT assume I might need to get shot?
Understandable. These days, you can be asked to show your ID and then they assume you're going for a concealed weapon when you're only getting out your wallet.
I see your point, but you have to realize that they have no idea what or who they're walking up on. So they have to be ready. Police officers have been shot on simple, routine traffic stops before. It could be someone on drugs, someone with a warrant, or just someone wanting to play GTA for real... they just don't know and have to be prepared. It's usually why they stand behind the driver next to the rear door when approaching at first... it gives them a few more seconds to notice if the driver is pulling out a gun or something. I can't blame them for being cautious.
@@mydoggylivesbut can you also blame civilians for behaving the way we do? We don’t know what kind of police officer we’re about to interact with. And if Mr Officer is having a bad day, it’s gonna be a bad day for everyone. That’s the difference. The officer has the authority and leverage to make other people have bad days or worse days than they’re already suffering. When you’re at work you shouldn’t be an a-hole. You should try to be professional and respectful at all times. The ‘back the blue’ guys don’t get that. My rudeness does not justify the officers being violent. But we allow that, then blame the civilians when it happens. But what happened to officers being respectful and professional?
@@SydneyAnokam I don't blame citizens for being cautious or worried either. If both parties act with respect towards one another then there shouldn't be any problems. Mr. Hill went out of his way to escalate the situation rather than DE-escalate it. I'm not saying the officers did nothing wrong in the scenario. His windows were tinted so that you couldn't see inside the car though. That's why they kept telling him to keep his window down. There was no need for it to go any further than that. He would've received his ticket and been on his way.
Police have their egos hurt easily. Very little self control. In ufc or mma thats a recipe for failure. You cant let people unsteady you with words. Level headed.
Aaaand let's go to the stats, tell me John, who is the most likely group to perpetrate spousal abuse? Oink oink you got that one on the snout, doughnuts all around. And a little concealer for your wives!
I'm in New Zealand. I can go for weeks driving around and never see a patrol car - but I can get ticketed by speeding cameras and red light cameras, and I can get ticketed for not having my car registered and safety warranted by parking attendants while I'm in a mall. And I never feel stressed when I see a police car. And I never have to mentally wonder if everything on my car is okay. And I never have to be worried that I'll be pulled over just for the colour of my skin. I'm sad every time I hear of these stories. Thanks for your measured response, Josh, and for educating this guy on the other side of the world.
I see a day coming very soon where there will be Josh Johnson hoodies for sale in the merch section of his website with a cool little "JJ" logo on them.
Hi Josh. You are so amazing. I so love how you think. Thank you for the gift of laughter. I have a black child and I am white and I had to teach him how to speak respectful to the police no matter what and he always surprised the police by the way and manner that he spoke to them, and then they would speak respectful to him. Thank you for addressing this.
Isn’t it, at the very least, unfortunate you had to teach him that though? As if it’s all in the back of our heads that if you’re disrespectful they could and would kill you. Not violent, not resistant, just rude. Rudeness can get your life taken from you by someone who’s sworn to “protect and serve”. Gut-wrenching.
I don't even care when I disagree with Josh's take on events. He has this unique ability to tell a story in an insightful and hilarious way that can help people hear and understand different perspectives. I think his style of comedy is much more important than we realize.
Lol 22:03 oh shit. Brilliant point. He WAS at work… with a gun… and too much power. Anytime I run into an asshole cop I call em out on it “why are you being so _____ with me? I’ve been polite and considerate “ and I’ll *tell em* I’m gonna treat them the same way they treat me. I’ve literally told a cop “this doesn’t have to be a bad experience for either of us. We can both leave this with a smile, just don’t be a dick just because you think you can.” It’s gone both ways. Positively and not so positively… But I’m a middle aged white woman.
That's bold right there, NGL. I don't know if I'd try that myself. As a white woman, I've had some unpleasant experiences with he-man woman haters and have the PTSD to remind me.
so am i but i got mugged once, they broke my jaw in 2 places, i ran and sat on a friends porch, yelled for help asked for ice. friends mom said she was calling the police, I'm like thank you- and to my horror, when they arrived it was ME that was the offender for sitting on this lady's porch. i was spitting out teeth so they put a hood on me. last thing i saw were the guys that did it literally strolling down the street. i pointed this out, cops did nothing about it. I'm not a fan.
@@njosborne6152 Yes. I forgot that American police pull out their guns often and don't appear to know about de-escalation. If the police shoot a citizen here in Australia it's national news for at least a week as it happens so rarely and our police are armed, yet are trained in de-escalation. I'm originally from New Zealand and like the UK the average policeman doesn't carry a gun. It's only 'armed response' teams who do. They're the guys who respond to armed robberies, terrorism threats, hostage situations, etc ... Take care and stay safe mate.

It’s funny you specifically chose titanium as the material for the stroller because it is VERY light. One of the lightest metals, especially in proportion to its strength. A titanium stroller would probably be way lighter than a plastic, aluminum, or steel one.

Cops be rolling in, one turns around, lights me up, so I pull over in a gas station- in my stoner van- and they're yelling at me to get out of the van. I get out, see a rifle and 2 hand guns pointed at me. These cops were all plainclothes and were probably shocked to see a small, white woman step out. They asked me who was in the van, no one but me. I asked if they were investigating the bomb threat at the phone company building across the street, yes they said to which I reply, this the gas station, you might wanna go check out the building that's under threat of being blown up. People with guns are damn scary. Period. Watch your videos every night and catch you on Comedy Central. Totally enjoy your work.

Adam Mockler is awesome!
@@FanFicnic Josh did a full set on Diddy - like 30 minutes - the day Diddy was arrested and his charging papers were made public. He didn’t get a single fact wrong and every “joke” or “punchline” was spot on, fresh and SO funny. I put those two words in quotes because Josh is so much more than a comedian. He’s a storyteller. He’s an observationist.)
The journey to the end of one of his stories/observtions is most of the fun! And he always explains - humorously, of course - the topics or situations he’s going to cover. “For those who don’t know who so-and-so is, let me explain … “ I know I’m in on the joke when he says that!
I discovered Josh through that TH-cam comedy set he did on Diddy. I couldn’t believe how smart was. I’ve been sending his videos to everyone, and I’ve been bingeing his stuff ever since. I’m signed up for everything to show my support.
Yep, Josh’s the one to watch!
I love that Josh isn't afraid of doing sets on serious subjects. He has great insight so I enjoy his take on these current topics. Looking forward to this set.
Yes! The first time it was different, but thought provoking and still very humorous ...as they got longer I wondered how he'd pull it off, but he did. I think as hungry as we might be for laugh & escape, there's such a a lack of empathy and common sense out there, that it's just lovely the way he combines all the things. 😊
Lifting strollers (and failing) is as real as it gets! 😂

Very very true ….
This is apples to oranges when it comes to police interactions, but reflects the abuse of authority some officers try to take. I'm a 5'1", white, small-framed woman and I had an officer threaten to arrest me for being belligerent because I wouldn't agree with his version of events. His version was a lie. It was incredibly intimidating, but I wasn't afraid for my life either. I was able to hold out by making it clear that my attorney would be requesting a copy of his car and body cam footage and he eventually backed down. (I don't really have an attorney.) I can't imagine how that conversation would have gone if I weren't in a privileged position in a very public area and had to be worried about more than being taken to jail on false charges.
My Mom is a 5’3” Caucasian lady who is the smartest, toughest, brightest, most graceful person I’ve ever known. And she still gets terrified for me working nights because of the encounters I’ve had with our law officers. It’s not right that we have to prove we’re innocent before they can bring us harm. Cheers to you.
Yeah police need to be seriously reprimanded every single time they do something illegal. And like they need to get demotions and removed from force. And like they need to get demotions and removed from Force.
25% of the police in my town have committed embezzlement and fraud. Yeah, they're only required to return the money they stole. So like cops can steal shitloads of money and all they have to do is just give it back.
🥰😍 thank you for your empathy
Apples and oranges are healthy but try some fresh pineapple and red bell peppers
You don't need an attorney to request a FOIA by email and request the camera footage
You know, it takes more courage for a weak guy (like myself) to try to help lift something than a strong guy. For the strong guy, it's easy. For the weak guy, he's putting everything into that push.
See, you get it
It’s like the parable of the woman with two coins
@03:20 "You can do it, put your back into it"- O'Shea Jackson formerly known as ice cube before he rode in limo with cucker tarlson
Exactly. I would appreciate the help of a scrawny dude more than a big one precisely because of that. This might sound weird, but it's also just nicer to lift with a weaker guy; makes me feel like we're working as a team rather than some giant hulk is lifting a titanium stroller with one hand and I'm also here.
Don't get me wrong, it's still a kindness either way, but it's like how you'd appreciate someone giving you 10 bucks they can barely spare more than Elon Musk tipping 10.
😂😂😂As a woman i find it hilarious that you think it takes courage to lift something. That would explain why it’s so hard to get men to lift anything.😂😂😂
There is nobody as wise as the bright comedian - in sharing truths and speaking up on important subjects.

Perspective: most comedians take a year to come up with an hour of material. Josh comes up with a new half hour seemingly every week. That’s amazing.
Josh is so cerebral that the fact he can do such physical comedy as the stroller bit proves he's THE ONE to watch.

Being rude should not justify police brutality/ shows of power
in a lot of bodycam footage, they really do be escalating the dick measuring contests rather than de-escalating
They're channeling their slave patrol ancestors, there seems to be no escaping history
His TINTED windows were up, which means the cop couldn't see what he was doing. Do you understand why thats a big issue ?
Idk, when people are rude to me, I certainly WANT to respond similarly. It takes some heavy self control, but it also takes self control to not be rude.
You'd also think that, with all these cops shooting people with VERY little reason, people might be a bit more incentivized to not be rude and belligerent.
There aren't many good possible outcomes when choosing to be an asshole. There are even less when the person you do it to is police.

I remember my niece as a toddler one time we were out and she was tired and wanted me to carry her. After like 5 mins my arms were on fire and I was suffering in silence wondering how the hell women do this 😅. Pride was the only thing that got me through it because my gf at the time was there and I couldn't let her see me struggle
@@ken_kaniff246Dude same here. I remember being a preteen and trying to pick up my cousin’s baby and just failing. It was like the baby was made outta bowling balls I could not get him off the ground. My younger sister came over and picked him up like he weighed nothing. I just remember thinking “either I need to workout or wait for this baby to grow up because there’s no way in hell I’m gonna be able to toss him around in the pool or give him piggyback rides”.
You sound like my sister, but she's 5'1 1/4" and won't let you forget that quarter. And her husband is a beast. Played high school lacrosse and was only put in to take other players out. He spent more time in the penalty box than he did playing.
He wasn't the craziest on the team, too. One guy got cracked in the skull by a stick, huge laceration. He grabbed a stapler, stapled his skull shut, and demanded to go back out. Coach wouldn't let him, for obvious reasons...
Imma suggest you get a new husband………..
It's a joke.... Pollyanna, not real.
Josh has a point. Highways are becoming more dangerous to be sitting on the side of the road for a ticket. We need to change the system to ticketing through plates.
Some places do that, traffic light cams that ticket and check speed.
absolutely a rational, smart, safe option... but we still need cops to help with people who are not JUST speeding.. a scanner cant take into account swerving or speeding up and slowing down fast...
Just being devil’s advocate. What if someone else is using your car and they get a bunch of tickets? You lose your license and have insurance rates sky rocket. Maybe not such a good plan.
His social commentary is very, very good and helpful. I hope he is around for a long time.
Any time Josh makes faces, I know we're in for a treat.

Ngl every time I watch a new set by Josh, I get a little irritated with TDS. What in the WORLD are they doing/thinking, typecasting this dude into the character they seem to limit him to in every appearance?
I've watched stand up for 40+ years, and I do NOT throw around names like Carlin/Pryor around lightly when comparing a comedian's talent/presence/depth of material. IMO, Josh Johnson has THAT level of talent/presence/depth. His introspection, his delivery, his ability to connect with his audience in an intelligent, relatable, humble way which makes them laugh but also makes them THINK and EMPATHIZE. This dude is generational, and I have a feeling that several years from now, I'm not going to be the only one putting him in the same tier with those other legendary names.
I'm glad somebody else noticed. We're still in the Dave Chapelle era, and with Katt Williams' interview, people will need a little more time to catch up.
Maybe he's doing exactly what he wants to do?
@@keithallen8693 We are capable of appreciating everyone simultaneously.

I'm a pale skin short female Canuck and I feel the fear every time I see a cop car, whether it's the local, provincial, or RCMP.
I'm also in your position as a ghosty canuck, and am super super fortunate to have only had to deal with police in instances where they are answering domestic calls my family has made, and it was when I was far younger. The other instances were when my mom would send me to the cops posted up at a popular 3 way stop sign that was notoriously rolled through/ignored to give them fresh baked cookies and muffins 😂 maybe that's why they were always so courteous with our house, haha.
It has definitely left me with a naivety/blind spot to potential bad encounters with police, but it's also just very different here I think compared to the US. I think a lot of Canadians are raised with the 'apologize for everything' mind-set, and it truly goes a long way to de-escalating problems quickly and disarming a lot of angry reactions
Exactly! Offering someone a weapon and impunity will always attract some of the wrong people for the job.

Did not expect the best argument for police reform/abolition to come from a comedy set posted to youtube but sometimes you get lucky
Oh he has so much more good stuff
These types of examples and ways of putting it are so not threatening to those on "the other side" so they are more likely to actually hear it instead of trying to come up with an argument to fight back. They end up listening and you may be able to turn a person or two to the other side.

That's not what a heckler is. She was annoying but she wasn't doing it maliciously.
Josh, you are a wonderful storyteller. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Spot on with what we allow police to get away with. I was recently approached by a cop with his gun drawn while driving my car because he suspected it was a stolen vehicle. (Unfortunately, my license number was the same as a car reported stolen except the stolen car also had handicapped plates). As this was the third time I'd been stopped but the first time an officer felt the need to have his gun so ready, I visited the DMV and paid for new plates. At the time of the stop I was driving in downtown Chicago on a Sunday afternoon and the whole scene felt surreal. Fortunately, seeing a 71 year old female whose innocence was pretty obvious caused the cops to back down pretty quickly, but they almost seemed disappointed. The cop who stopped me the second time assured me he'd had to pull older drivers out of their cars before and seemed to think that was something to be proud of. He seemed to be on a macho man trip. I wish "officers of the peace" was a moniker that was both celebrated and embraced by those brave men and women who protect and defend. I think it would serve the public better.
I've seen you with your shirt off, Josh. I KNOW that wasn't a true story about the stroller, but thanks for telling it. I can always count on you to lift my mood.

shoutout to Josh for that first story... may be the most mortifying thing I've ever heard
Oh you must not have heard his story about eating cake out of the fridge, while naked, and his apartment being broken into at the same time.
Was he disrespectful? Absolutely
Did he deserve the treatment he received? Fuck No
disrespectful? I STRONGLY DISAGREE.
Cops don't really deserve respect in the first place but I see your point.
Respect needs to be earned, and I'm of the opinion that cops need to go even further to earn it than regular folk. At least until they stop just shuffling repeat offending officers to different precincts/states and trying to bury corruption and civil rights abuses, and there doesn't seem to be a light at the end of that particular tunnel.
The only thing for me is the super dark tinted windows and refusing to lower it. How are the cops supposed to know if the driver is reaching for a weapon or not?
If your parents dinnae teach you to be respectful, and the school system dinnae teach you to be respectful, there's only one way you will learn to be respectful. The hard way. This is nae as big a problem outside the states. Idolising an idiot who plays a sport is a mistake. And let us not forget; organised sports are just another form of enslavement. The players make millions; the privileged old white owners make bbbillions. And they are referred to as "team owners", buying and selling their property. Maybe that is why so many athletes in the states are so angry.
'Only one of them is at work' is such a good framing! I fully clapped just sitting here at home
I remain in ABSOLUTE AWE of your ability to do such incredible comedy *consistently* while also leading with empathy and letting toward social change. I have been introducing your stuff to my oldest and we adore your work and the kind soul you put on display for us all. Thanks again.

21:43 Agreed. Countries like Germany have speed traps that take a pic of your plates then mail you a speeding ticket. No one’s pulled over.
Dc too
They pull you over in Germany if they suspect you're drunk driving or smuggling something, or something is wrong with your car. If you're just speeding, they send you the ticket per mail with a nice picture. The difference is that in Germany, the police usually assume they are the only ones armed, so they are less trigger-happy when they pull you over.
Same with Russia.
You know.
That country that is supposed to be a third world country and western sanctions where support knock back to the 19th century.

As someone who's worked in the food service industry, I think all employees should be allowed to behave the same way cops do. How many times do you see a situation escalated when a cop perceives disrespect from the person they are dealing with? They get angry, or snap and then use force to get their way. I think all waiters and waitresses, fast food workers and customer service people should be allowed to act the same way as long as the police are.
Couldn't agree more, brett😂
For Josh and The Algorithm!
Another great night for a Josh Johnson video!
Bro you’re the best.
It’s always atleast a little bit of something really heavy- and you bring it to the discussion with Grace and Respect, while being able to comedically point out the absurdity of any injustice… I can’t tell you what you mean to us all…
within this Wonderful, and probably wildly diverse community you have created around your work
The jump from cute blue eyed blonde boy, to felon… certainly changed my interaction with police during traffic stops.
As if I AM doing SOMETHING wrong, if they can only find it- and I am a threat requiring back up… despite years positive interactions (compliance and regular check ins for years after prison) with authority now on record.
I can’t imagine that being the default setting- and with all the racism and fear from the ‘professionals’.. often fucking children with guns.. if you were to add felon on top of that. And ‘regular offender’… which I now can attest simply means they know your car and life now, you stand out. Again- I can’t imagine how much more so when you start naturally.. at the level of discrimination I have earned for myself.
I love your transitions - from Samaritan to police violence. What? Wow.
I could watch these videos all day!
Well, I don't know much about youtube, but having over forty likes on a comment that you posted just a minute ago seems like some real robot behavior. What service do you use? Asking for a friend.
I do😂
i do sometimes when im sad
I'm a middle-aged white suburban woman, so I will never understand the fear others feel around police officers, but with all the police violence around the country, even *I* am scared to get pulled over these days... The fact that they walk up to your car with their hand on their holster? Can they like.... NOT assume I might need to get shot?
Understandable. These days, you can be asked to show your ID and then they assume you're going for a concealed weapon when you're only getting out your wallet.
I see your point, but you have to realize that they have no idea what or who they're walking up on. So they have to be ready. Police officers have been shot on simple, routine traffic stops before. It could be someone on drugs, someone with a warrant, or just someone wanting to play GTA for real... they just don't know and have to be prepared. It's usually why they stand behind the driver next to the rear door when approaching at first... it gives them a few more seconds to notice if the driver is pulling out a gun or something. I can't blame them for being cautious.
@@mydoggylivesbut can you also blame civilians for behaving the way we do? We don’t know what kind of police officer we’re about to interact with. And if Mr Officer is having a bad day, it’s gonna be a bad day for everyone. That’s the difference. The officer has the authority and leverage to make other people have bad days or worse days than they’re already suffering. When you’re at work you shouldn’t be an a-hole. You should try to be professional and respectful at all times. The ‘back the blue’ guys don’t get that. My rudeness does not justify the officers being violent. But we allow that, then blame the civilians when it happens. But what happened to officers being respectful and professional?
@@SydneyAnokam I don't blame citizens for being cautious or worried either. If both parties act with respect towards one another then there shouldn't be any problems. Mr. Hill went out of his way to escalate the situation rather than DE-escalate it. I'm not saying the officers did nothing wrong in the scenario. His windows were tinted so that you couldn't see inside the car though. That's why they kept telling him to keep his window down. There was no need for it to go any further than that. He would've received his ticket and been on his way.
Man shut up. We the ppl know who the police or. That's far more dangerous 😅@@mydoggylives

I'm in New Zealand. I can go for weeks driving around and never see a patrol car - but I can get ticketed by speeding cameras and red light cameras, and I can get ticketed for not having my car registered and safety warranted by parking attendants while I'm in a mall. And I never feel stressed when I see a police car. And I never have to mentally wonder if everything on my car is okay.
And I never have to be worried that I'll be pulled over just for the colour of my skin. I'm sad every time I hear of these stories. Thanks for your measured response, Josh, and for educating this guy on the other side of the world.
In Europe they have cameras and you get a ticket in the mail. The idea of being pulled over is wild and totally inefficient.
I see a day coming very soon where there will be Josh Johnson hoodies for sale in the merch section of his website with a cool little "JJ" logo on them.

You never wanna be judged by a baby 😅
Hi Josh. You are so amazing. I so love how you think. Thank you for the gift of laughter. I have a black child and I am white and I had to teach him how to speak respectful to the police no matter what and he always surprised the police by the way and manner that he spoke to them, and then they would speak respectful to him. Thank you for addressing this.
Isn’t it, at the very least, unfortunate you had to teach him that though? As if it’s all in the back of our heads that if you’re disrespectful they could and would kill you. Not violent, not resistant, just rude. Rudeness can get your life taken from you by someone who’s sworn to “protect and serve”. Gut-wrenching.
I don't even care when I disagree with Josh's take on events. He has this unique ability to tell a story in an insightful and hilarious way that can help people hear and understand different perspectives.
I think his style of comedy is much more important than we realize.
4:33 Nice to see Josh using physical comedy. If he is in a movie, that movie will be popping!

Anytime I run into an asshole cop I call em out on it “why are you being so _____ with me? I’ve been polite and considerate “ and I’ll *tell em* I’m gonna treat them the same way they treat me. I’ve literally told a cop “this doesn’t have to be a bad experience for either of us. We can both leave this with a smile, just don’t be a dick just because you think you can.” It’s gone both ways. Positively and not so positively…
But I’m a middle aged white woman.
I look real bad in orange scrubs. I worked in a TDCJ Unit for 25 years. If cop wants you he will get you.
That's bold right there, NGL. I don't know if I'd try that myself. As a white woman, I've had some unpleasant experiences with he-man woman haters and have the PTSD to remind me.
so am i but i got mugged once, they broke my jaw in 2 places, i ran and sat on a friends porch, yelled for help asked for ice. friends mom said she was calling the police, I'm like thank you- and to my horror, when they arrived it was ME that was the offender for sitting on this lady's porch. i was spitting out teeth so they put a hood on me. last thing i saw were the guys that did it literally strolling down the street. i pointed this out, cops did nothing about it. I'm not a fan.
"Tazer behaviour" - 😂😂😂
Tazer. . . Gun . . . Tazer . . ….Bang . . .
@@njosborne6152 Yes. I forgot that American police pull out their guns often and don't appear to know about de-escalation. If the police shoot a citizen here in Australia it's national news for at least a week as it happens so rarely and our police are armed, yet are trained in de-escalation. I'm originally from New Zealand and like the UK the average policeman doesn't carry a gun. It's only 'armed response' teams who do. They're the guys who respond to armed robberies, terrorism threats, hostage situations, etc ... Take care and stay safe mate.
Josh is smart as hell. Not one to waste his words. Pretty sure he said titanium on purpose.
I usually play TH-cam videos in the background while doing other things. I’ve had to go back and watch these videos over again because it took me too long to realize half the enjoyment is his physical comedy! Now I sit still and watch and the videos are even better. 💙🤣
My wife watching this
“Awwww Benito, he’s so skinny…” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's "bendito" 😅
@@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST Did you actually just nickname-splain this dude's wife, who's not even in the comments? Sir. This is a Wendy's.
Appreciate your work, and all you share. Thanks so much for improving my day.
I will be there! Happy Birthday to me! There’s a new Josh Johnson to watch tonight!
Happy Birthday! And he's putting the video up as a gift just for you!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Happy birthday, friend! 😊
Happy birthday!
@@istdochallesegal3427 Thank you Josh! I so am so honored to have inspired you to post this video, just for me, on my birthday! And thank all of you out there for watching this video, especially posted for me. On my birthday. By Josh. Just for me. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 🙏
Happy birthday Marilyn!
Josh is my main source of news ngl
It’s funny you specifically chose titanium as the material for the stroller because it is VERY light. One of the lightest metals, especially in proportion to its strength. A titanium stroller would probably be way lighter than a plastic, aluminum, or steel one.
I thought the same thing lol, I have titanium holding my spine together. Doesn't even go off at airports
He did say the stroller was 8 lbs. "That was all baby" were his exact words
@@jkap34 yeah, as opposed to it being made out of titanium…
Thank you! The stroller bit was feckin' hilarious 😂
Catch me watching this immediately after watching the live premiere cause my guy deserves the eyes
I'm white white and would still be scared shitless to talk to a cop like that. You just never know if they're another asshole with a gun.
Josh Johnson - Your audiences feel so comfortable with you that they interject like you are having a conversation with them. I hope it's not disturbing to you because it is kind of sweet.
Thanks!
This is a master class in a story getting worse as it gets better. 🙂
New and ADDITIONAL respect for even KNOWING the phrase, "object permanence." 🙇🏻♀🙇🏻♀🙇🏻♀🙇🏻♀ And yes, there is such a thing as being judged by a baby.
Most people know what object permanence is.
@@bryanergau6682 Really? OK, I'm gobsmacked. I thought it was a concept of object relations psychology that hadn't really made it into the popular consciousness. But if you're sure....
@@CathyKeating I've heard at least 15 seperate standup comics mention it.
I must say,it's nice to laugh in-between all the doom-and-gloom stories.
7 second between get out because you're too scary in your car to you're not so scary we won't open your door and assault you. The cop should've let his ego go and just wrote the ticket he ended up writing 17 mins and sit on the griund like a dog later. 🤡 Cops
Just discovered Josh, and this old grandma can't get enough of listening to his stories. What a breath of fresh air he is in comedy. ❤
So thoughtful. Why DO we let cops act like that?
