Carl Barron's First TV Appearance

[@catsandstuff29]

He looks so genuinely happy and surprised when they laugh its adorable! Hes brilliant :-)

[@kardiaclark8111]

It was so cute

[@jazmynbethell3983]

and a legend is born

[@YorenMReid]

Indeed.

[@adambrown2626]

Indeed...

[@SuperRiverRat1]

The great thing is you can tell Carl is genuinely surprised that the crowd is having a laugh and you can see his motivation and confidence grow within minutes. Carl's jokes are great observational humour and whilst not always the funniest of jokes, coming from him he pulls them off well and one can not help but love watching him. A great guy and great comedian.

[@YaMomsOyster]

It helps by looking like a older white Dave chappelle

[@willmarrindy]

He seems pretty stoked by the audience reactions

[@HULK-HOGAN1]

Because he's talking about scratching his ass etc. It's really not impressive material..

[@The_Candyman86]

willmarrindy hes worth 200k but lost most of it in bondi for tax evasion

[@lacheyrulez]

+ThePeoplesChamp pretty damn impressive to have the career has had

[@Saf_Shares]

... His genuinely surprised that people are laughing. Aussie legend now. Even though his material is everyday mundane things, his unique and genuine delivery is what makes it work.

[@alisaalburo4271]

So humbling!! Seeing his reaction to his first crowd clapping and laughing. Literally so sweet!

[@herogebrial]

Hello there

[@kardiaclark8111]

It was so cute, you could see him blush over

[@chrisjwyoungcy]

He’s such a modest guy. Not believing they are laughing with him. Good dude.

[@froglover7967]

I watched this episode of the footy show when it was telecast. Became an instant fan.

[@Ray-dv3nz]

It’s funny how Carl couldn’t believe he was funny when he first started out. It’s lucky for us that he kept going, otherwise he would have been a roof tiler.

[@marcozolo3536]

Imagine how many roof tilers Australia loses out on potential comedians each year. Aussies are a humble bunch, but not without a wicked sense of humour.

[@davemustaki134]

He would have been the funniest roof tiler you ever met lol its strange how many funny buggers there actually is in tradies occupations Paul Hogan was another one

[@JoeBradshaw1]

Self awareness makes him this good!

I like how this is over 20 years ago and he still looks the same.

[@russellcadell7903]

RIP footy show, you will always be remembered

[@micksmobilemechanics]

So many good childhood memories When chief matty and sterlo left it when downhill And then loosing fatty was the final nail

[@myfathersprincess9585]

Top show

[@1mach28914u1]

In the end they tried too hard to be funny. Also not enough footy stuff on there.

[@samshankar9413]

@@micksmobilemechanics beau knows is so clear of all of these

[@madaxe79]

It was good before they fucked it up. Once Matty left, the show died. Then they bought the women on, and then the idiot Beau Ryan... it was like a train wreck in slow motion

[@ryanroma5724]

Alot of people think carls jokes are too simple but its the way he delivers it that makes it so funny

[@shadyshaman5014]

He still does some of these bits in 2019

[@wotever99ninynine]

except the 'racist' bits. stupid modern pc world. no sense of humor.

[@davemustaki134]

He had them the second he started glad he never changed!

[@Sharp1Impressions]

Carl you're a legend mate. Keep it up!

[@vajeye-nar6172]

Watched this back in the day. Instant fan

[@russellcadell7903]

Absolutely, I remember watching this and I was just a kid at the time

[@TropicalZooms]

My favourite comedian. Makes everyday things hilarious. Glad his first appearance went so well.

[@bernardmolan2976]

22 years ago! You're the best, Carl.

[@KindabamCrochet]

I remember watching this at the time & became an instant fan. Here I am in 2020 still laughing. Even my adult kids think You're Hilarious 🤣

[@booboocraft]

carl barron is my favorite comedian EVER

[@bertiebeetle3]

I remember watching this live. Knew he was going to be a star straight away. The funny thing is I was living in a sharehouse in my early 20's and I do believe he was a friend of my flatmate. At the time I said to him you need to do stand up. I always wondered if it was really him. Lovely guy.

[@wadesharp11]

Dam hes nervous! Hes come along way. He still uses the fart joke, dam! 😆😂Hes really awesome now days

[@ShamamamaMain]

Aye I noticed that

[@jimbosaul3996]

disagree. dont think hes nervous at all. a little apprehensive or inexperienced in delivery and reaction to audience. all good for mine

[@wadesharp11]

Jimbo Saul what u described is called nervous🤣But hey hes come a long way and im a huge fan

[@jimbosaul3996]

"it's not that funny is it?" YES it is Carl. Yes it is! BEST stand-up comedian to this day! 🙌🏾

[@jagger952000]

I remember watching that at the time in 1997. Great stuff. Great memories!

[@michaelking42]

I can't say that I've ever been surprised by a comedian's reactions to the crowd's reactions...yeah analyze that...but your reactions are pure gold. Awesome to see. New fan here.

[@MrMyster1ous]

And with this a legend was born!!!

[@nikanika56]

Why is this guy not more famous? I cant believe it's only now that I know about him, he's more funny then most comedians I've seen

I remember there was a time when you could do an Asian accent and people thought it was funny. Now you're be labeled a racist.

That's because it's racist

[@Jschmuck8987]

Carl Barron’s jokes work well on the same crowd that love the footy show. He probably never had that many people in his audience that loved his material, but whoever spotted him and thought of putting him on the show was a genius because it was the perfect cross-section of the population that loves his jokes.

[@minyatawilson3095]

He looks younger but older at the same time. True Comedic genius.

[@carriefawcett9990]

He is truly gifted

Yo did they have an ‘applause’ light and that’s why he kept commenting on their reactions? A true respect for a comedian is laughter, not claps, they don’t want claps!!!
