Favorite superpower: being hilarious in the face of adversity. Fucking genius

[@steelz78]

Jeselnik is a comedy mindfreak.

[@215JETS]

He basically freestyled a stand up. Battling the crowd and crushed those who had the audacity to question him lol. Beast

[@joekerr9520]

He's effortlessly savage

[@SullivanTheRocket147]

What is your superpower ? To be hilarious in the face of adversity. Greatness.

[@CerebrumNigthmare]

this is how actually not giving a fuck looks like

[@joeybrickz5468]

Even his crowd work is amazing. Jeselnik is the GOAT idc what comedian you try to name he's funnier than them

[@garywinehouse4564]

Damn, to be able to do that on the spot?! And be funny every single time? That’s amazing. Comic genius. I’m not sure any of the other greats could have pulled that off so swift and smooth.

[@al3xsava]

Gary Winehouse Jimmy Carr is a genius at this. Look him up.

[@paulcosta5806]

Bill burr

[@paulcosta5806]

Doug stanhope

[@taylorbohn3038]

Bo Burnham and Bill Burr could do it pretty well but Jeselnik just has that incredible talent that anything he says either sounds badass or hilarious. Or both. lol "This is me SLUMMING"

[@davethefish7653]

When you do comedy for 15 years, your mindset changes. He's mastered his craft. 5 years in, he couldn't do this type of shit or he'd get roasted. He's now elite.

[@platinumpatience5307]

"I don't give a fuck who you are and where you're from." *What's your favourite colour?* "What's your name and where you from?

[@CARTOONIVERSE1]

Solid crowd work without breaking a sweat.

[@gregorykrug8034]

One of the top ten comedians of all-time IMO.

[@jeronimovanegasperez9579]

In our opinion*

[@streameant]

[@1980HiphopFunk]

Thanks , good stuff !

[@JC-ev2ns]

That Norm McDonald bit was hysterical. Two super talented comedians not getting along on a show literally fighting every episode and they don't air any of it. Is that show still on NBC cuz that's classic NBC

[@Devestato72]

lol, getting laughs at just answering questions from the audience. not many can do that

[@alphabeticaldisorder6357]

Amen bro I do stand up, not easy...

[@FecalMattur]

I want to hear his unedited shit on Goodell. That's gotta be golden

[@SmeggmaMale]

That girl still doesn't know where she is.

[@Rohit-wx2fp]

What a Live Q&A session!

[@spidercat2841]

I've been thinking he sounds like Christopher walking for years....finally someone said something about it

[@domydishes]

his type is two of you, no wonder he dated amy schumer

"Didn't sign up for Ted Talk" OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@vincentadultman8527]

We've all said terrible things about Roger Goodell, and his family.

[@alanmazzucchelli9013]

Vincent Adultman ,He makes 40 mill a yr. ,so he doesn't give a shit about what people think of him.

[@hadynvisentin2525]

The funniest bloke on the planet..

[@luisfck2119]

fucking great lol

[@GreenEnvy.]

When they asked him "what's your least favorite topic?" he should have said "ice cream."

[@rafthethinker4948]

HubsDrunk ha i was thinking the same thing

[@evanwilliams432]

I think it was least favorite topping. Like ice cream topping.. have you seen his stand up... I doubt abortions would be his least favorite topic.

[@blackice7317]

Also when they asked who his least favorite person. he said that guy, but it would've been a nice pull to say Bradley. Remembering stuff like names on stage is probably pretty tough

[@roberttoye3450]

Evan Williams o

[@doognessmonster1625]

Nice RTJ shoutout!!

[@dk6024]

Leaving no doubt that he's got the chops.

[@mikeo7455]

Too funny 😂😂😂

[@AngryAdonyx]

Epic

[@JonnyDWise]

Jeselnik's stand-up is always good, but this format is so much better. He should do shows like this more.

[@JC-ev2ns]

What's my twitter handle? My name. I'm a fucking comedian. Perfect heckle response: "Relax, I got this" Hell yeah he fucking does guys

He is so fucking awesome! Love this guy! This stupid show is like every drunk guy and stupid girls dream where they can just yell out without getting thrown out.

[@prateekkumar5667]

I was waiting for someone to ask "How was it like dating Amy Schumer". Bummer.

[@prateekkumar5667]

@WSD333 they dated before she blew up. He helped her career a lot. I guess Anthony Jeselnik giveth and Anthony Jeselnik taketh away.

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

@@prateekkumar5667 amy is related to some powerful entertainment people so many say that's why she has such a solid career and has ridden accusations of stealing material which people like Joe Rogan have attacked people on but they leave her alone

[@markillsley8676]

She is about as funny as toothache

[@DocMajor]

Ted Talk girl thought she was clever. Nobody told her she was in the audience I guess

[@denaredford6701]

Funny stuff

[@amandaflores1895]

Murders. That dude kills

Christopher Walken!

[@ClassicRock1973]

He sounds nothing like Walken

[@jeremysolomon7791]

2:30 Star wars memes!!! hahaha

[@jonmarc8078]

It would have been better if something fixed the audio... sounds like he’s underwater talking through a tin can.

[@stevenmidrano6145]

This was great. I could do better, but this was nice.

[@RurouniTenShins]

Love Jeselnick, but no WAY he’s funnier than Norm Macdonald

[@uncleiroh4650]

Said no one ever

[@tuck9]

Jokes would have been better.

[@HDellamorte]

WHAT! They gave me shit last time for recording "you NEVER RECORD a comedy act" they said!

[@BrookJolley]

Depends on the comic. Doug Stanhope is pretty famously for people bootleggings all his shit, because he thinks it's good marketing. I agree with Stanhope on that. Anyone wants to come even record me bombing, share it, whatever. It's a style thing, a business choice, etc tho, there is no right and wrong. Some people however, want tightly controlled image/sets for recording and don't like it, it's just a matter of the comic's opinion. Chris Rock had lock bags for phones when I saw him the other day, Chapelle did the same thing.

[@DrVanNostrand01]

H Dellamorte you really aren’t supposed to. It’s really hard to come up with material constantly so uploading acts on here hurts comics. It ends up hurting their ticket sales if people just watch them on KZbin.

[@danielzarate8741]

Brook Jolley honestly. I think the lock bags aren’t for bootlegging or reproduction. It’s because a lot of their jokes are super offensive. Saying the word “fag” or jokes that are racially insensitive or just offensive period. People like Chris rock or Dave Chapelle have more fame and people forget that comedy is comedy and is offensive and that part of what makes it funny. But imagine a video of Chris Rock saying a super offensive joke. Guaranteed it would make TMZ and he’d get flamed for it.

[@SteveSalisbury]

Change the title! Anthony Jeselnik gets owned. Is this a TedTalk! Amazing!

[@seansnodgrass8235]

Stephen Turley that joke has been used before by other stand up comedians, she must have just watched Jim Jefferies or Chris D'elia on Netflix the night before. She isn't funny at all

[@paulandrew3319]

Yeah Ted talk is not genius at all

[@evanwilliams432]

Lol. Owned... for real? What a gross perspective you have . If you think he got owned.

[@TheGreatAlan75]

i swear this guy is the best stand up comedian. what other comedian has literally no unfunny jokes? makes you realize how overrated Eddie Murphy and richard pryor and chris rock are

[@stephenpiper5604]

I'm sure he's very pleased to have a lovely fan like you #kkk

[@TheNormanmurk]

You sound nothing like Cristopher Walkin.

[@boogieboxmusic4331]

He muff dived Amy Schumer,, god I’m gonna puke , I’d rather inhale faeces than muff dive Amy Schumer..

[@ACasualCustomer]

So this guy didn't prepare a script for this show. Seems disrespectful to the audience

[@fanofeverything]

He can't improv worth crap

[@disco.lemonade]

+fanofeverything It is hard to improv when your thing is dark humor. He did alright, though.

[@paulandrew3319]

Obviously not everything

[@enlightenedidiot9552]

Did you even listen?

[@MechaJutaro]

He can't improv worth crap Wouldn't say that he was awful(I laughed more than once)nonetheless I also found myself thinking "AJ isn't entirely in his element here, operating without his writing". Not a criticism, just an observation; worthwhile comics-which Jeselnik undeniably is-are those who rake in the dough by dishing out hilarious utterances and thus don't function at the their most optimal when not working from prepared material . Contrasted with comedians(think Robin Williams and Kevin Hart),who generate laughs less from any of their content and more from an amusing character. Not surprisingly. the latter can pull off several minutes worth of only crowd work with more ease, while the former generally make for a more entertaining hour overall

[@Scratchingforcash]

You may have turned your hearing aid down instead you of up. Try it the other way bro

[@kaisersozay2217]

when good comics stop giving a fuck.(in a bad way) not good at thinking on his feet. if you want good crowd work watch the great Dave Attell, Jim Norton, Ron White, or Jimmy Carr. then you'll realize how bad this performance was
