Comedian Sam Morril Bombing a New Years Eve Show

Sam Morril killed 5 shows in Spokane, WA. This is show number 6.

[@retromog]

Can't really blame the crowd. They probably thought they were going to see a world class mime.

[@roxscotch9213]

Dude, this comment killed me. Well done 😂

[@nogoogleplus]

Haha good one

[@johnoconnor8105]

Outstanding!

[@alixcoupet4377]

well done my friend.

[@Me-ne5uu]

LOL 😂 good one

[@TakedownO44]

Sam doing stand up and considering himself "bombing" while taking the piss out of the crowd and having a good show with it is the stuff true professionals are made of. Good stuff man.

[@---GOD---]

It's called clickbait, chump

[@vonTrops]

He literally hit them with " No u". Wouldnt call that A Professional heckler handling xD

[@scoville7707]

I agree-this isn’t what I would call “bombing” ::background laughter and applause:: I think Sam just has high expectations of himself AND the crowd! (Although I do love watching him deal with real hecklers)

[@rickybobby76]

This was very bad and material sucked

[@saltyb2363]

He was definitely struggling, the crowd wasn't with him and he was trying to get them back. You can tell he isn't on his regular pace. Usually the crowd goes a lot more wild for Sam

[@FallingAnts]

Cool to see someone post the unglamorous side of comedy!

[@ccsmooth560]

Every time l bomb, which is often, l don't blame the crowd. I feel bad for them. And l feel like l need to improve.

[@michaelangst6078]

@@ccsmooth560 If you bomb, you're not nearly as naturally funny as you think you are.. Stop blaming the crowd.. An actual naturally hilarious person can make a room full of people laugh consistently with ease

[@Skubbes]

@@michaelangst6078 i dont think you know about comedians all that much. This youtube video evidently proves you wrong. Some comedians just have bad sets, doesnt mean they're unfunny, its just that even funny people dont have an easy time pleasing everyone

[@zero11010]

I absolutely love that you’re showing both great sets and less than great sets. I think it’s important to show realism, and I appreciate it!

[@robertm4050]

The thing is it is a great set. It was a shitty crowd. Instead of wilting, he went off script and started using the crowd for his material. Just like he used the bus stop as a bit multiple times, because there are a lot of drug addicts in the streets of Spokane.

[@zero11010]

@@robertm4050 was it a shit crowd? I’ve heard a lot of different comedians talk about what makes a crowd good or not. In most cases it comes down to … if that group is really getting his jokes. He identified that 50% of the room was loving his material. So, if 50% don’t like dead baby jokes the crowd is garbage? Would he have felt that way 10 years ago in his career?

[@robertm4050]

@@zero11010 10 years ago if he was even in the business back then, he would have had to cater to the crowd because he was new. That is if he could handle the groans and off comments. So there is no comparison for then and now. He is doing a 3 set day because his tickets were selling out well before the day this was filmed. If you are buying tickets in advance, then you should probably like who you are going to see and know what jokes are coming.

[@zero11010]

@@robertm4050 I don’t think that’s how any of this works.

[@robertm4050]

@@zero11010 3 sets in one night is unusual for most headline comics. So yeah that is how it works. They add more sets if demand is high enough. He is super popular these days.

[@7elEvan1]

I've always wanted a comedian to post his absolute worst sets. Or show every iteration of a joke that sucks at first, then gets better over time, then eventually when it's in a special you can see how much work and pain it takes

[@oliverbarton7353]

Geoffrey Asmus is a really good example of a comic posting their sets over time so you can see how jokes evolve - really interesting insight into the process. He's also really fucking funny which is a bonus! Worth checking out :D

[@ungoyone]

Listen to that Dice album from like 30yrs ago.

[@randoru1871]

I appreciate it too. Another one of my fav comics is Fahim Anwar does sets where he "works on stuff" it's on yt

[@ScottWaa]

I love Sam's crowd work... I'm just wondering if he went for a run after the show too.

[@TheChupacabra]

Hahah everyone jogs faster with pitchforks behind them

[@ganglyguy2521]

If he gets into real danger, the White Knight will save him..

[@babaliboon9323]

Yeah I don't get it. Can hardly laugh at themselves. At least the one lady with them was desperately trying to keep her spirits up and have a good time. She needs new friends, for sure.

[@osamasllamas6389]

I worked this show these people litterally were terrible the worst old mean fucks that were allergic to laughter.

[@juliangulian1032]

Edit title, the crowd bombed. I throughly enjoyed this roasting the crowd. Honest, professional and held himself together well.

[@kunai92]

He's shitting on them but also wants them to enjoy themselves at the same time

[@theoimeson3851]

Ah that really cheered me up. “I like him better than you.”

[@DrDANKize]

I’m a big fan of comedy and I wouldn’t even show up to a random show without seeing who’s performing

[@ccsmooth560]

I've gone all over the country to see standup as a pastime. It's expensive and time consuming, so l thoroughly check out the venue and comedian. All but a couple shows sucked real bad, even the biggest named ones.

[@natecallens]

I would. 🤷‍♂️

[@hapaharley1706]

I love going to open mic's. Never know what's gonna happen or who's gonna show

[@underratedreplyguy]

[@braydenk4669]

When he said “you can see a lot of comics tell jokes…” I thought he was going to say “how often is the audience the joke?”

[@Robisquick]

Dude, apart from extremely well packaged joke-writing, Sam Morrill has mastered his intonation of making his voice dip down really low to indicate laughter. Sometimes an audience really needs hard consonants, very specific pauses, etc. to make jokes work. You can have the best joke in the world, but times wrong it can literally be a dead bomb.

[@ryanwolden6060]

This is how I first saw him. Some friends wanted to go to a comedy show and he happened to be the guy.

[@daviddorsey3321]

This is one of the best videos I've ever seen. Morril is the best!

[@beliz5562]

This guy can make the cigarette on the floor something to be laughed at. What a talent.

If THIS is what a professional comedian considers bombing, this is so much more tolerable than I thought. This can't be bombing. Either that or Sam's standards are very high for his work.

Bombing is when you have to use self deprecating humor, or making fun of the audience for most of your set.. How do you idiots not realize this?

Damn it really sucks that amazing comedians like Sam and Mark have to put up with horrible crowds like this. They should be doing arenas where they can't even hear these losers ruining the show.

Jeniesque level crowd work here with a so so crowd. Professionally Sam is killing it, but his stubborn support of the Dolan Knicks reminds me of a very very rich guy I ran into who is killing it and when people comment how fortunate he is, his response was I could say I am having it all, but I have been a Jets fan for 25 years.
