"Yknow what bag that up to go, I'm gonna get that to go... they... they're throwing the fireballs again." XD

[@deebrown4877]

💯🤣🤣🤣

[@thebayneshow938]

Bruh he is underrated

[@pitchfolkmedia916]

I was crying after "catfish nuggets", and by "they're throwing fireballs again", I was howling... too funny! Thank you Roy Wood Jr.!! 😂

[@blackliquidtv1579]

Broo I was crying literal tears 😭😂😂😂

[@ladybug947]

He’s a gem, pure genius hilarious

[@sadrocketsfan4271]

my boy was howlin

[@rondastrong5495]

Me too!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Tempestelterna]

me too!!

[@blacktopballer7385]

He ain’t lyin’ about Street Fighter. “Go home and be a family man” ..Too funny

[@dboygreat]

My favorite was Guile winning post fight phrase: Are you man enough to fight with me?

[@wilsonkusosa2727]

“ You’re talking to a God dam spirit in the 5th dimension, and you’re giving him account security questions?” 🤣😁👏🏿

[@mrsetamayple]

Brooooo😂😂😂😂

[@ascent8487]

Lol. I never played street fighter but I would stop and briefly watch my brother play on occasion and I was always more fascinated by the people in the background. 🤣

[@jayebogar]

You missing out

[@UnoriginalGrimm]

This Street Fighter bit is comedy GOLD. My man quoted Guile

[@AwestaKhalid]

the funniest part of "Go home and be a family man" was when they'd say it to Chun Li lmfao

[@promotechs2540]

lol

[@mindyabiznarc]

His father died at age 16 my mother died at age 16. Some comics you just have a similar environment growing up and you truly relate on some levels to life and deep painful topics. Highest respect to RWJ

[@ChuckFuryus]

Blessings and hope to you for being able to articulate this. He showed his soul and you didnt leave him out there. #salute

[@dkbeard3810]

"In the background, commerce is happening!" I lost it!!!

[@JustXavier]

I gotta admit. I have not been giving Roy Wood Jr. the respect he deserves. That stops now. Roy, I'm gonna put some respek on your name. #notypos

[@glo1168]

Same, this man is top tier! I thought he was mid from the few daily show clips I’ve seen (don’t really watch to be fair). That show doesn’t do him justice at all

[@duanecuster7166]

Roy Wood Jr, Ali Siddiq, John Mulaney, Jo Koy, Russell Peters funniest dudes I've seen this modern age

[@DanzoTheManzo13]

Plus Bill Burr & Sebastian Manascalco

[@portlandgoose4727]

I'd personally add Mark Normand and Rory Scovel into the mix. Sidenote: considering how quickly stand-up comedy is evolving, I'd say that Wood Jr, Koy and Peter's aren't really part of the "modern" age, as they have each been doing it for over 20 years. That's like calling Snoop Dog and Dr. Dre some of the best hip-hop artists of the modern age.

[@jdub5644]

Mark Normand for sure! Became a fan over the start of 2020

[@gabyrivera2859]

I’d add Ali Wong and Taylor Tomlinson personally. The comedy scene is great right now!

[@bilalc4415]

How to say “I’ve never heard of Bill Burr” without saying “I’ve never heard of Bill Burr”.

[@kyleferguson5463]

He’s naturally funny 😭🤣😂

[@sweetvictory89]

True

[@xojudo]

NATURALLY!!!🤣😂

[@glo1168]

I think he just been doing it a long ass time

[@jakobbauz]

I think he's probably from the future where they're designing babies to be perfectly funny all day every day. They're trying to distract us from what's happening and it's working just fine. :'D

[@madebychikar7651]

"I'm dead, wtf else do you want from me"😂😂😂

[@keithhibbard8088]

"Thats not comedy thats just a really dope speech", Soo true, seen it A LOT in standup

[@shaunnathedoRk]

i can appreciate a good street fighter joke 👌

[@raphealwood4434]

Oh they were amazing

[@yinucsd]

gotta check out Pete Holmes show cuz he makes a lot of street fighter jokes and sketches too. they are on point.

[@kimdean1079]

I think he is one of the funniest comedians around.

[@mrsetamayple]

True 🔥🔥

[@nowhere25]

Yo this dude needs a Netflix special 👏🏼😂😂

[@FGOC]

He has one

[@ELEXANDERTHEGREAT]

he also host "this is not happening" Roys awesome

[@ELITEmyfrat]

@@FGOC what is it called

[@FGOC]

@@ELITEmyfrat Father Figure. It's really good.

[@Sysyphony]

Oluwasemilore Oludipe what? I LITERALLY just searched his name in Netflix! What’s the special’s name?

[@niners5time822]

I heard Roy on Joe Rogan and I still tell people his story of how hard he worked to get where he is at. Mad respect to Roy Woods JR. (My fav bit of his is the gas station attendant)

[@DreJayBr]

Lol unpaid administrative leave

[@johnburt7935]

My kids got in on the very tail end of trash talk - they tried it on at their games, and their coaches quashed it. I was pleased, being old enough to be familiar with a concept called "sportsmanship".

[@gocpng4699]

Street Fighter Was/Is A Brilliant Game, Continue.

[@ConcreteBarber661]

There was never a side hustle day. The streets took care of that for many. Career day surely helped some. But likely few. Crazy how weak the us edu system is. Out of date. Before my time there were programs/classes for practical jobs like barbering welding and mechanic. Time to invest in the people again.

[@pamelaporter1739]

Definitely.

[@jonathanedwards4251]

Or because a few decades ago it was actually possible to survive and thrive on a single income... We may be starting to make some progress now, but it’s still hard for millions of people my age with anything short of a Masters degree to live independent without 2 or 3 jobs.

[@Matty80822]

its cause the affluent have private schools that our public edu is so bad. there's no motivation for those in power to help the rest of the country. we're not their friends or family

"No matter what's going on around you in this world, MIND YO' GOD DAMN BUSINESS and maybe you'll get home safely" ~ Roy Wood Jr

[@fvgbe342]

If you mind your business. You may get home more safely than the two street fighters who are wrecking your fish stand during normal business hours.

[@napemmapheto6287]

Roy Wood Jnr🤣🤣 man I rarely ever laugh to the edge of commenting publicly but damn less than 4 minutes in and I can't hold back..you the man man. All the way from South Africa

[@maxalmonte14]

That Street Fighter bit is the greatest thing I've ever heard.

[@jungersrules]

Chills listening to him hearing his dead dad getting ready for work every morning for two weeks!

[@MerkhVision]

@Zach Hogan That’s what I was thinking too lol. I wonder what he was gonna say after that if the video didn’t end there

[@veronicajarvis7924]

The street fighter bars straight brilliant

[@Muzzlewump]

These ads are poorly placed and mess up the flow.

[@charlesdalast5604]

That last joke about his dad was Dave Chapelle-esque: long setup and big punchline.

[@stevennajar5368]

CharlesDaLast - 😅

[@johnburt7935]

A punchline that was short, solid...and brutal.

[@johnburt7935]

Oh - and timeless.

[@angiegonzalez52311]

When he yells I do sense some Dave in there as well haha

[@agreen0401]

How bad is this economy? 😂

[@stacielabelle2694]

He's broken the Trump strategy! Lie but lie bigley 😂🤪🤣

[@CBlargh]

I believe the Big Lie was actually Hitler's strategy...

[@teddyk.3818]

CB BC lol what’s the difference between the two?

[@CBlargh]

@@teddyk.3818 Absolutely nothing. I was just pointing out he stole it like he stole everything in life; he's a cheap H-tler wannabe...

[@lokomike2911]

Except that's what the democrats do 24/7 on the news and the very media platform they can. They lie about statistics and constantly try to keep race in everything and want everyone fighting. The democrats also are the most racsist of them all.

[@TrustInJesus0705]

@@CBlargh Trump was the best U.S. president in decades.

[@terriharris7387]

True story....when my father passed, I heard his morning routine.....for about two days or more...

[@artheaux666]

Creepy 💀

[@glo1168]

What if it’s the case that some people don’t know they’re dead immediately. Go home as a ghost thinking everything is fine

[@BREAKocean]

Just discovered this guy. Love his style! You guys should check out his golden corral bit

[@kdelasnueces]

The joke about his dead friend was hilarious

[@polymorphiccrystalloid6289]

"You talking to a goddamn Spirit in the 5th dimension" 😂😂😂

[@lspr215]

"You hate black people. but... you love missile's" 🤣

[@krazywasp23]

Roy’s a genius The way he uses comedy

[@vagabond1776]

“My wall will be better than your wall….run on the lie.” 😂🤣😂 So true. Fight fire with fire.

[@serenabissanti7015]

Solid work Roy, keep up the joy and love

[@billsfan1970]

Chun Li would appreciate this! 😆

[@derrickmcdowell8824]

You win all the internets!

[@jerico80]

Bro I rode the bench playing high school football. 😂 Man we used to CLOWN...and drink the Gatorade and the starters used to get mad at us cause we didnt need Gatorade. I was gonna start a rap group called S.L.C. (Side line club ♣) cause we used to freestyle and was fire too. 😂

Capcom put Roy in the game in the commerce and when you throw Hadoukens he turns around and makes that face.

Somebody tell Roy the Hackman was around in the hood for years. Right outside the grocery store ready to give you a ride.

Thank you for posting but I wish there would always be a date attached so we have any idea when this was filmed, since there’s so many topical subjects especially to know when exactly he was saying them. If you post it just give us the proper information please
