My boyfriends mom is blind and she was like "HE IS BLACK?" I was laughing so hard
I read that as "My mom's boyfriend"
@@knighthunter1791 lmao
@@knighthunter1791 Haha, me too. I read it a few times cause I was confused. Your comment actually helped me read it right.
I'm already having spasms because I'm laughing too hard. This didn't help.
Lol how would he know what black even is
He look like he from the future and the past at the same damn time
John Candycorn bruh that’s funny af 😂
So Wakanda?
Your pic fits the comment.
@@naywahn 😂my sentiments exactly
Brilliant
this dude looks 15 and 26 at the same time
I think hes in his 30's
15 and 26, male and female, black and white and all at the same time. This got to be the most confusing brother on earth. lOl!
I get the age thing but he does not look like a female to me.
Venom He's a very pretty guy I must say.
its a struggle
The detail on his outfit is beautiful and the color is gorgeous: man is wearing the hell out of it.
Ron weasely’s dress robe
he kind of looks like a bald woman ngl

@@lukasmuller1274 exactly lmao
It is a pretty blouse
"I have friends now but the damage is done" I chuckled uncomfortably
Ikr. I felt called out.

@@krystalharris1259 Stay the fuck out of my thread I hate ur emoji toting ass
@Wensley Michel Whats this supposed to say
Like a somebody, fuck you bitch? What?
Yeah, or a black One Punch Man
“The madder I got, the whiter I sounded.”
🤣🤣🤣
He says the line with perfect inflection, sounding so irritated with himself knowing it’s making him sound *even more* whiter still! 💀
Me too 😂😂😂
“I ain’t tryna start a revolution, I CANT PICK IT UP!” 😂
@@thenarrator6363 guess not 😂😂😉
"I'm black...I'm black like YOU!"
Had me dying 😂😂
It was even funnier bc of how white he sounded when he said that. As someone who is told she has a white voice a lot by her black peers, i VIBE
He sounded like woody from toy story lol
@@lizzylucyn7133 more like Tom dubois from boondocks lol
"Like...like me?"
What most people in general Don't understand is that there is a difference between sounding educated and sounding white. This guy sounds definitely educated.
"I woke up fired from being a slave." 😂🤣😂🤣 he's pretty funny!
Great set but maybe I'm biased bc it's so relatable
LMFAOAOA YOOO THATS CRAZY I READ THAT COMMENT AND HE SAID IT AT THE SAME TIME
that one ended me lmaooo
Kazzo Productions not that crazy
@@Dora-wi6fn ok
This blue silk tunic is the fiercest drip I have ever seen. I love the hem. 10/10 no notes
"I'm black like *YOU* " cracks me up everytime
Give this man an hour-long Netflix special STAT
Him and Josh wolf
Coolbossplayer yess
He has a 15 minute set on Netflix! It's part of a collection of up and coming comedians
PLEASE
greenmileyfan97 Thank you
“I woke up fired from being a slave!” 😭😭😭😭😭 lmaooooo man this guy’s whole routine was incredible
Josh is a Genius, not just of Comedy, he is a very intelligent young man. ❤
His News & Current Event Takes Are AMAZING❗️‼️.
A child that reads encyclopedias all day is EXACTLY the kind of kid I'd want to talk to.
Here I am, all grown up. He’s a male me, lol.
No... no. They talk to much.
My whole damn childhood. 😂
Look up Eric Stratford on Facebook. 😁 Don't friend him, just follow and you'll love his posts. 👍👍
And yet I know exactly what that feels like.
When he says ‘sir, I’m black, I’m black like you’ it reminds me of captain holt saying ‘I am a human, I am a human male!’
B99 is the best. Holt is the best.
As a white Southerner, you can tell he's black from his accent. He's got a twang but doesn't have the lazy drawl of white Southerners.
I bet you like 50% of people think this is a racist comment.
@@twistedalicemcgee
Yeah many people think this comment is racist hence why no one pointed out & he have 115 likes
K

233 now
I get it. It above many folks head.😎🤟🤠
His bald head, his clothes makes look so clean and calm then he starts talking and i want to be his friend.
u kno he got enough stories to entertain you for hours too
This dude looks like a level 120 mage
Sounds like a White Mage though.
This is funnier than his jokes 😂😂😂😂
What game are you talking about? Please tell me its name.
@@brotherindeed992 BATTLE FOR WESNORTH
lmao
The face when he made the bathroom hand dryer joke is now my favorite expression.
Donald Glover: I'm the best nerdy black comedian.
Josh Johnson: Observe.
i was gonna say that damnit
@xxGodx
I hate that phrase a lot.
.....speaking of clichès
Donald better 🤷♂️
@@Insert639: Hold my clichè
this guy has to be my favorite comedian, the first six minutes of this set never fails to crack me up
When he went on about the air dryers... all I could think of was "Well I am not using those ever again."
It's ocd lol
Worst part is, it's stranger's particles most of the time. Assuming you just went in to take a leak
no peace that’s not OCD.... lol
@@fancythisgirl3 yes it is
@@fancythisgirl3 it's literally a symptom of ocd, which i have
He may not have ocd but it's still a trait of ocd
"I would sit alone and read and think and read more, and then have nobody to talk to, and then read, and then finally talk to somebody and they're like, 'Oh god. What's happening?' You know what I mean?" In my bones, Josh Johnson!
Scrolling through the comments and I literally read this at the same time it came up in the vid 😂😂 made it even more funny.
This is painfully accurate. I'm like, "no no no you don't understand, I went through all the potential ways this conversation could go all day, and this was not one of them!! I'm not crazy, you're crazy!! You are!!"
He's living my life & I love him even more for it.💗
Tales On Wheels I tried talking on a video game because someone asked me to help liven it up... I asked if anyone liked cake. I spend a lot of time alone 😂
Josh is brilliant and he has gotten better.
This young man is awesome. He is my nephew for real. He would get so deep in his thoughts when he was little and nerd out on everyone. Now, he is this really cool, artistic dude.
Really????
he's got a strong presence for sure, just look at the comments haha
I'm betting my life your not
Cap
Thats cap
Name: Josh Johnson
'Expects to be assumed to be black' 😂
Actually, there’s another Josh Johnson who’s in the NFL and he’s also black so
Josh is the whitest name after Tanner
@@prafonity no ive yet to meet a black person named Jack lol
@@Jblah I definitely have, you know what name a black person will never have though? Connor, now that's rare or never seen.

"I've been through all the channels"
Man, that is painfully true
That outfit is FIRE!🔥✊🏾
no.
Josh johnson wearin this outfit. I only can think satire
✊🏾💯
@@jaronvelda9082 I hope it is
'Tis,.. but I feel like it contradicts his set
"Wheres the air come from"
Me: Well obviously theres just basically a dryer that-
"THAT'S BATHROOM AIR! YOU MIGHT AS WELL FART YOUR HANDS DRY!"
Also me: OH MY GOD HE'S RIGHT.
He is right. The heat also makes bacteria grow more. It is better to dry your hands on your pants instead of a dryer.
@@_TheDudeAbides_ Our school only had air dryers in the bathrooms for a long time. :')
[Some time later]: We're not crazy! You're crazy!
Do you use towels in your bathroom at home to dry your hands? Guess what... Do you use the shower in your bathroom at home? Guess what...
An electric fan with blades but covered to avoid wet hands and moisture. Not rocket science.
two things:
1) the way he said "I'm black like YOU!" cracks me up
2) he's so... beautiful
Yes and yessss
I just realized his attire compliments the mural quite well.
I'm from Baton Rouge and I'm LMAO. "In Louisiana the bus comes once a year."
Tess Chapeau exactly 😂
From BR myself lmao. Coming from somebody who’s never rode the bus... this is true lmaoo
This just popped in my feed in 2024 - and it’s from 6 years ago. I’ve been following Josh for a long time. This session is fine, but comparing this to his comedy now … wow, you can really see his growth. ❤❤❤ Continued success, Josh.
Love this kid! He's hilarious!! "Woke up from being fired as a slave."
The rescue dog thing was freaking hilarious. I don't know why, but I lost it at "Mikayla left him and he lost his job in the same week..."
"I woke up fired from being a slave" 😂😂😂
When he said “ if they builded the pyramids they can make a subway sandwich” that almost killed me 😂😂
TH-cam suggestions: "Josh Johnso-"
Me, already clicking on the video: Say no more
Sidney cute icon!

85% how attractive he is
10% his African attire
4% his hand dryer joke
1% others (e.g. he looks like ~~)
He's gorgeous alright!
comments like these make me really _sad._
You didn't mention what the hell he's wearing

Huh?
Lol! I heard it in my head. 😂
"That book was wearing its cover!!!" 🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Well, once the train came by they weren't lol
420th like hell yeah
"He might be dead look at me go."😂😂😂
This guy is one of the absolute best stand up comics at the moment, such solid sets.
you're so right!
Very true
I was shocked that someone so young would have such a unique comedic voice.
I have a feeling he's going to be around for quite a while.
Right!? He'd be a great voice actor! Wicked funny!
He had a great set he but seeing him for the first time I'd say he started really strong and fell flat in the last 2 minutes. Entertaining none the less.
“Call me old fashioned but I don’t like when women voice their opinions” 😭😂
Welp, you just ruined hand dryers for me.
Heard
Studies show that hand dryers are full of bacteria.

Okay, reading comments before yours i was like "it's not THAT bad", but you just sealed the deal. DISGUSTING.
Stranger: How ya doin sport?!
Josh: (Louisiana accent) YOU WANNA KNOW HOW MANY MILES THE EARTH IS FROM THE SUN?!!
Me: *chokes on drink from laughing😂😂🤣
The saddest part is that's how people from Louisiana sound 😅
I an 20 mins from Louisiana &how josh sounds is nothing like their accent.
@@CupKanime south and north are very different
never drink while watching stand up comedians trust me from experience

Love Josh! He is amazing!..
Applause*
Great content, clean delivery, jokes I've never heard and they were actually funny and I am never going to forget" a book by its cover". Good stuff
I was a kid who sat and read encyclopedias. And I also sound “white”.
It's the encyclopedias
I sound white too and I definitely didn't read encyclopedias for fun lol
I sound white too! Oh, I'm white, lol
Elaine Yvette is there a correlation between those - reading encyclopaedias and sounding “white”? 🤷🏾♀️🙄
What a weird thing to say... white people have very many sounds (different languages) and accents (when speaking English)
I read encyclopaedia when I was younger too and it made me a bit more knowledgable than those in my junior school classes, perhaps more curious and keen to ask questions/curious but sound “white”, no way...
Eve Tats Is there a correlation between someone telling a joke and someone else understanding it?
"I have friends now, but the damage is done"
YIKES, I have never related to anything more
Embracing his culture. Love the top. My Nigerian uncle once told my brother, "If you wear nike, you are a small boy. Wear natives and you'll be a BIG MAN"
What if u wear Skechers
@@Allensanor or Crocs.
@@Allensanor Then you're a mega man.
This is so validating as someone else who has been an isolated nerd for much of their life, lol.
I recently left an abusive relationship and had to cut out nearly all my friends in this new state I moved to because of it so I'm alone a lot again. And I definitely experience that whole thing of thinking about something a lot and then trying to communicate it to people and they don't get it. LOL
The Absolute Most Underrated and Unknown Comedian to kiss the face of this earth
This white comedian should pair up with that proud Asian American woman
He doesn't even sound white. He just sound educated and nerdy tbh.
With great hips!
Yasss 😂
Agreed!He even looks like a tall child too
Stan Sebastian Stan though he does look terrible! Get some rest tall child!
btw I think we need to acknowledge how he changed his way of performing - much more confidence! 👏🏻
I noticed it too..... Especially pacing his jokes
Good stuff. Fresh material.
@@cjdebnam3229 that's what I was thinking. His timing was already good but I think he's hit a sweet spot.
Are you Chinese or russian?
GoodTimes wtf? neither of these two.
"By golly I'm black gosh darn it!! " 🤣🤣🤣2:28
Yup. A 20s reference that literally no one can actually relate to yet still gets laughs.
A "20s reference"? It sounds like Gomer Pile.
I closed my eyes while he was talking,
It's true.
OMG he is so gorgeous. I could just stare at him an giggle all the time. He's got a perfect face.
Oh yea and he's hella funny.
Dont judge a book by its cover.
guy who spends weeks making book covers: *Am i a joke to you?*
coincidentally, this comedian looks like the guy in the meme
Those lines about covers being always accurate in bookstores were absolutely spot on.
He described my childhood. Sit, read history, think about what I read, read, think, talk to no one.
I have to admit that this video started playing while I was in another tab and I completely assumed that this guy was white. He is not wrong.
Also I love his outfit, that asymmetrical hemline is on point.
No you didnt.
You're a fucking liar.
@@brolyonsome3963 comedian: 'people assume that i'm white because of my voice' person: 'i assumed he was white because of his voice' you: 'you fucking liar'
???
@@saiyamoru you: 'I have to admit that this video started playing while I was in another tab and I completely assumed that this guy was white. He is not wrong'
@@brolyonsome3963 Yes. I assumed he was white because I *heard his voice* and wasn't actually *watching the video* when it started playing. I don't know how to simplify this for you further.
Josh Johnson sounds like the name of a white Dave Chappelle character.
I was thinking this whole bit was very Dave Chappelle. Dave Chappelle is a legend and influenced a whole generation
the 'who rescued who' magnet came to life 😂
Beautiful storyteller. His outfit is 🔥And he is one gorgeous man. He should totally model.
"He might be dead look at me go"😂for days
He's funny and I liked that his outfit matched the background lol
the talking about something you’ve been thinking about all day to someone and they don’t get it is so fcking relatable 😭
omg finally someone else understands why I don't use air dryers xD
Sapna Srinivasan yaas.
Yesssss. Seeing people use it in the bathrooms is cringe worthy .
Damn u fine
That "call me old-fashioned" bit slayed me 😁
He is incredibly handsome. Look at that skin!
"i'm black like you, you're black like me, it's something anyone can see"

Hope you're good dear
"By golly I'm black gosh darn it" 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Love your name no homo
@@ronaldzeits3027 it's like jelly beans and butter. Chewy and smooth.
he’s improved so much! love his work
I understand the one thing he said so much like when you're having a conversation with someone and you stop talking for a few minutes but you keep thinking about the topic in your head and your train of thought on the matter veers in a different direction and you say the thought you have out loud to the person but they haven't heard any of the in between thoughts so they think you're insane. I'll give an example. Let's say you talk to someone you live with about the kitchen faucet leaking and you both agree you need to get it looked at soon. Then you sit there quietly and think about what it would look like if you could see the inside of a faucet when the water was running. Then you think about the fact that the tap water you drink every day was at one point sitting in a water tower. Then you wonder if they ever clean the inside of those things. Then you convince yourself that they must for your own comfort and wonder what kind of salary that person makes. You then say this out loud but all your friend knows is the last thing you said was "yeah we should get that sink checked out next week" and then sat in silence for ten minutes before going "how much does a water tower janitor make a year anyways?"
Honestly, I do this constantly. My family is always so confused by what I say because of it.
He was so good back then, but these days, he's steadily becoming a league of his own. Definitely my favorite stand-up right now.
"if they can build pyramids they can make subway sandwiches "😁
"Sometimes I will poop on the floor just to give him something to do that day."
Quotes taken out of context can make a great meme...
BRAVO that's lovely
😂😂😂
I wonder how Josh Johnson would feel about that.
This dude looks like the painting in the background.
I find myself agreeing with all his points.
"See! That book was wearing it's cover!"
I love how he goes from super serious to the punchline. Kills me everytime, especially the nightmare 🤣
Falling in LOVE with the face & expressions😁
Intelligent humor 😁
This was so hilarious! "The madder I got, the whiter I sounded" 😂😂😂😂
Call me old fashioned... but I love a handsome man in a handsome outfit 🤤😋
Mamma Kush that white dude in a dress?
im a straight guy and I also took notice of how handsome he is, including his outfit.
@@jbird1224 no, thats a God adorned in fine cloth
He is quite the striking visage of a black man, genetically symmetrical and ideal of proportion. Quite a fine specimen, educated lilt and all. Reminds me of me with less hair.
Yes ma'am, there's nothing like a well-put-together man!!
When he asked "Wheres the air coming from?" I swear he looked so stressed...
He's hot... Super hot, super talented and super intellectual !! Love from India !!
Yesss
11:07 lol i guessed the punch line I'm very happy rn lmao
"Dont judge a book by it's own cover" nowadays should be "don't judge a youtube video by it's own thumbnail" cause it's often a clickbait lol
And that was a stolen joke too
@@elenapanova4809 stolen from who?
The background is breathtaking and his outfit is amazing !!
MEGATRON thank you ☺️
He’s the one that’s breathtaking. 😘
What is his outfit from? It looks African... but does any body knows the specifics ?
@Mwaniki Mwaniki true it could be south asian or something like indian but I don't really see why he would wear it, expect for the obvious of course - Its a clean ass look lol. But foreal i dont think he'd be rockin traditional indian clothes lol
"I'm black like YOU!"
Sounds like if there was a Disney movie where a black and white guy switch bodies and hes trying to convince someone he is black.
I would love to see that movie
Lmao spot on chap!!
I would love to watch that and see how much hate Disney would get lol
And then he proceeds to sing a melancholic song about how he's black but noone sees it, as he waltzes through KFCs and basketball courts
Kinda like The Wiz episode of always sunny, the gang of white people switch bodys with black people as a dream or something and its like a musical, pretty epic
"by golly.. I'm black gosh darn it! "
