He was on an episode of the office as that guy trying took take out oscars knee caps because oscar was sleeping with angela's boyfriend the senator. Edit: state senator.

[@LogsMaggot]

I legit loled at the edit

[@justartandmusic9553]

His voice kinda sounds like he’s teaching an anger management workshop

[@kevinbreslin5718]

Gotta say he's probably an expert

[@Filard25]

I never heard of this guy in my life. He suddenly popped up here after I watched “Class Action Park” at my sister’s house tonight. He was supposedly a park guest that they were interviewing. My point is that my phone is clearly listening to everything I do and watch

[@Tonyhouse1168]

Yes it is, and has been for a long time

[@Tonyhouse1168]

Gotta love when you watch an old video, see a comment, decide to respond to it, and see a reply from yourself a year ago..

[@sevenswordsofsong9955]

probably the funniest character in season 9 of the office

[@vicjames3256]

Seems a lot of people in the comments haven't seen his specials. I'd compare them more to 1-man shows. Career Suicide made me tear up more from the feels than from laughter, but I'm glad I got to experience it.

[@MrShiney2323]

I feel as though most of the folks who don't get the joke in this probably avoid sad things as a whole and therefore can't find the humor in them. This is a funny way of describing a crappy truth that people deal with constantly and the folks that find inspiration from cat posters feel sad when presented with it. I can't argue with them. Those are the people that are happy the rest of the time as opposed to sad all the time and laugh at cleaver ways of describing crushing truths. Well done Gethard.

[@kittuojha]

that's a well written comment.

Not belly laugh funny but makes low key comedy & good points!

This feels like a Ted Talk

[@helloworld5887]

Is that a good thing for stand up?....😂🤣

[@thekillerstarfox3394]

No lie I saw the title and thumbnail and legitimately thought it was a ted talk.

[@donstaunch7895]

It didnt feel like comedy

Touche

[@mrs.georgeglass3997]

Word ya it does, minus the point of either something informative, he said he'd told that joke like 50,000 times I'm still wondering what fuckin joke was he talking about? The joke that his bully is rich and he's still a turd nerd who's not funny?

On the flip side I had 3 bullies in HS. 1 died in a car accident. 1 died of cancer. The other I have no idea what these doing but I'm pretty sure he's unnsuccessful considering he was held back a grade.

[@zak-a-roo264]

Mine died during like 4th period one day in an epic 100mph motorcycle crash on his way back to school, most popular kid , everyone bummed but me. Pretty sure he's still dead.

I can’t tell if this is genuine or a real clever burn

[@gregorkevin1676]

If your talking about my comment it's genuine.

[@ronswansonsdog2833]

That’s actually what he does now. Much more suited to that than stand up. He’s got pearls of wisdom in that role

[@robertschwartz4810]

As a victim of relentless bullying I found this more depressing than funny.

Are you okay man?

This is one example. One of my bullies got arrested for trying to rob people through Craigslist.

that's the gethard brand!

Gethard by name, gethard by reputation

[@oceaser6977]

I was small in school so at first I used to get bullied. But I decided I can’t stop you from kicking my ass but you’re damn sure gonna work to do it. Won a few and lost a few but I don’t mind a good fight

[@123CREATIONS]

Get Hard is an interesting last name 😆

[@JackBlackNinja]

funny thing is that it's German so it's literally pronounced "get hard" in Germany.

[@ayinqarah]

I wondered the same too. And sort of funny when u know from where it stemed from

[@Aaliyahchannel2024]

Wooooow such an orginal comment. No one has ever made this comment before.

[@GZas]

I don't know if this cheers anyone up, but I used to bully someone when I was 13, and now, 20 years later, I have a really painful diarrhea... I mean, that's why I'm watching KZbin at this hour. Cheers!

[@Clark633]

"when you thought this joke was going to end positively" no man.. we thought you were going to tell a joke.

[@blitheringrando1410]

One kid that tried to bully me in highschool (he wasn't successful) died after a car accident in his 20s. I couldn't possibly enjoy that fate even though I didn't like the guy. The point is, you're never going to feel good about a bad relationship in the past. You have to learn from those past experiences to deal with similar people in the future, but don't spend excessive time thinking about your childhood bullies.

[@brandonb3174]

If you spend all your time looking backwards you can’t see what’s in front of you.

Best heckle ever tho

[@justforever96]

You must be watching a different video. Which part was hilarious? His describing how he was bullied as a kid? Or when he was picking on himself? Or when he was bitching about how his bully is now rich and he isn't?

I feel like Chris just tells funny stories and he's pretty good at it. I may not laugh my ass off, but I will be thoroughly amused.

Great title, no spoilers at all.

[@TheRickbrooks]

Every bully has a plan, until you punch him in the throat!

[@Bob86339]

So true

[@justforever96]

And his buddies jump up and pin you to the wall and beat the shit out of you. However, yes, it's much better to fight back. They will probably avoid you more in the future. Even if the ringleader has to pummel you at least once more to satisfy his "honor".

[@SharinganMan]

he's not really a standup. he comes from improv. he literally doesn't even sound like himself in this. he's trying something outside of what he mainly does.

You shouldn’t put the punchline in the title.

People who assumed that they were clicking on a standup comedy routine and instead got a light TED talk?

[@baqcasanke]

Was this a ted talk or a stand up? Where were the jokes?

[@PkwyDrive13]

Of course you were bullied with the last name GetHard

[@frolickinglions]

To be fair, the bully has had good luck on his side (bigger physical stature, became rich not through skill or effort but just luck). He's probably still a terrible human being, so he's not one to envy. Unfortunately, plenty of shitty people do well in life - just look at Trump & all his cronies - but I'd still rather be decent and less "successful" than look good on paper but be an arse.

[@kevinapack]

the title ruined the punchline :/

[@Harmageddon_Gaming]

While I don't condone bullying by any stretch of the imagination, you literally had the solution to your problem at the beginning of your set. When he bitch slapped you and asked "what are you going to do about it" that is when you go in swinging. And yeah you would've likely lost but that is how you earn respect in middle and high school. If anyone reads this comment in that situation then never back down, never give up. Stare life in the eyes and snarl.

[@corey8677]

18 yrs trying to do comedy and he's still not funny..

[@tobyrichardson5317]

This isn’t comedy. This a guy with victim syndrome who is wanting sympathy and attention. He attempts to use humor in certain areas only as a means to keep you from daydreaming away from his story of what a hard life he’s had. Anyone that has to go out of their way to tell you how bad they’ve had it, has never had it bad. They just know that in 2021 we promote victims and victim mentality so this is his way of seeming interesting and important.
