[@iedison3839]

+Big Zee Also literally every comic has bits that they do. It's not like they come up with a brand new show every 2 days. When comedians tour they just give the same show in different places. So regardless of when this was made, he's given the same exact bits dozens of times, before and after the what. you've seen, that's just the one he recorded.

[@turtleshell6391]

When people complain about reused material when they don't even know these were test audiences for their specials so they know what is and isn't funny. That's also why the punch line on these jokes aren't as fluent.

People are mad about repeated material, tbh I just feel weirdly proud of little Bo gaining so much confidence by the time What came out

[@omnilisk279]

I think its more along the lines that he got used to the bits and they became second nature to him. He had to perform them a lot for his tour so by the time of "what" he'd probably done the exact same stuff hundreds of times before. Probably what led to the "Knock-over water" bit too.
