Judah Friedlander on "Judah Friedlander: America is the Greatest Country In The United States"

This guy is a genius. I've watched America is the Greatest Country In The United States 5 times now. Funniest stand up I've ever seen. Best wishes from Ireland, where we have a good few funny guys.

[@stephenbrady4829]

I'm in Ireland too, and I just watched his special. Funniest thing I've seen in a long, long time

[@charlesalan62]

Judah is the most original comedian working today. He actually is the “World Champion”. The only other guy in his league is the late Bill Hicks. Both were totally original Iconoclasts, different personalities, but their world view sets them apart from the mediocrity all around us. They both were working small rooms, challenging the audience, fearless and uncompromising. Dedicated artist philosophers Socrates’ of Standup.

:D

[@urielfulgencio5285]

It’s one of the greatest , watched it many many times now and it always gets me cracking up

[@Darq88]

his hat says, "WORLD CHAMPION" in morse code, genius

[@Emerald_Knight45]

His hat says the same in the special in sign language as well

[@robertjones6929]

The only reason I am reading the comments. You saved a lot of time

[@user-sb3wh3dd4v]

Judah Friedlander, educated, ethical, comedic genius.

[@ideafaucet5710]

It takes a true comedic genius to act on his feet as he does. So glad I found this guy. A truly unique style that is hard to duplicate. Like the hat says, WORLD CHAMPION!

[@curhob]

I literally was trying to make sure I'm not the only one to notice it!

[@hazeleyesohhhryyyon2031]

Color coordinated w his beard and hair .. champion stuff.

[@ActualRacerX]

I love how he keeps his eyes hidden from view. His standup special was hilarious. The fact that he chose to create his product independently, critique it, tweak it, then say you may use this and not just sold himself to the corporate giant.

[@LaureceWest]

I saw Juddah live at the PIT Comedy Club in Chapel Hill, NC. I laughed non-stop! He is incredibly funny!

[@curtissaffi9944]

This guy is funny AF!!

[@mottahead6464]

Actually Canada is number one : we're just too polite to brag about it.

[@TheMontyR]

What did Canada ever contribute to the advancement of mankind?…I’ll wait? Here’s some of Americas contributions. We invented the automobile, the airplane, telecommunications, the light bulb, computers, the internet, smartphones, video games, our films and music is the best in the world and the most influential, and the list goes on. We also give more aid to the rest of the world then all other nations combined. When there is a disaster somewhere in the world it’s America that always shows up to help with financial aid as well as man power. We also have an amazing origin story. A bunch of rag tag colonists kicked the ass of the British empire and grow to surpass them and become the greatest nation the world has ever seen. We’re also 2 time world war champions. And the best part is we embrace all peoples because we’re only as good as the people that come here to roll up their sleeves work hard and achieve the American dream together. It’s ok to love your country because you should. And it’s ok to think Canada is the best because you live there but I just have to remind you that you’re wrong. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@71fluffdaddy]

He must've been inspired by Super Dave Osborn from the 1980's I see similarities but he's taken it to another level very funny.

I realize that the genius comment "Well, it’s official, Donald Trump is the 45th greatest president of the United States" can be the way Donald Trump keeps the title when Biden becomes president. "Well, it’s official, Donald Trump is the 46th greatest president of the United States"

[@zozoj]

Is that Arabic writing on his cap?

It's morse code, not sure what it says but would be interesting to find out.

AMERICA, GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, EVER!

[@klaze9318]

@Bernie Demuth Hell no, I live in NY, and their is no Segregated schools in my city and state, and also their isn't any Segregated schools in the US.

[@klaze9318]

@Bernie Demuth Some person from the west coast said, NYC is the best city in the world. Forget about that, btw, The US doesn't have segregated schools cause it violates the 14th Amendment of the US, based on *Brown v. Board of Education*, and also the Civil Rights Act of 1964, prohibited racial segregated schools in the US, prohibited discrimination based on color/race/religion, prohibited unequal voter registration, and racial segregated schools, racial segregated public places, and employment. Therefore, the US doesn't have and can't have segregated schools cause it violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964, any school that has that, would be sued, and would be fined. Thank you :) :D =D =)

"AMERICA, GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, EVER!" Not even close :)
