Daniel Sloss’s Stand-Up Special Has Broken Up Thousands Of Couples | CONAN on TBS

[@queenofdeen]

Here’s what he said in Jigsaw that stuck with me; say you only love yourself 20%. Then someone comes along who loves you 30%. You might think, “wow, 30% that’s so much!” But it’s still less than half. It led to me breaking up with my now ex.

[@apdg9362]

Same. Breaking up with him this saturday.

[@pedrolopes1564]

I actually made the desition of ending my 5 years relationship before watching his show. Some days before i mean, but i wasnt sure if i should go on. After watching his show, i had no doubts in my mind and i did it. That was 1 year ago, and i can say: best thing i ever did, never looked back. I didnt had other relationship after, but im happier and happier alone, and i can not see myself with someone that i dont feel like its someone special or doesnt deserve me!

[@kelsey8973]

That is my favorite line he says. It is 100% true!

[@kaminoyami30]

this , the surgery analogy, the thing about loving yourself a hundred percent first, and watching this and asking yourself the questions, jigsaw is one of the best, its really made me value every single moment i had for myself and now the person I am with.

[@kriss_b]

I'm probably one of the few who got back together with a ex after seeing jigsaw. Made us realise that's what we did for each other, complete each other's jigsaw. And the one we've made together is amazing

[@HeyThisIsLui]

Conan is so good at giving these comedians the spotlight. Sloss, Burnham, etc. Man, Conan is such a wonderful guy. Not just in the late night talk show scene. In comedy period. Like. He doesn't get enough love for how great he is.

[@NARKISDUDE]

This comment is self negating lol,*you* give him credit and others do too. are you sorta saying you're a nobody and your credit doesn't count?

[@magnuscamper]

I'm guessing its conan's plan b since a-list celebs seem to shun his show nowadays. Maybe he needs to fire his guest bookers since they have dropped the ball the last couple of years.

[@placeholder5695]

Especially because he actually has comedians on his show. Regular celebrities have always been a part of late night, but I feel like they've taken over. Fallon and Kimmel rarely have actual comedians on and just tend to focus on dumb trends, pranks or silly games. It's like watching a PG-13 version of the Ellen show rather than a show that focuses on comedians and actual banter and wit.

[@AlanHope2013]

Somebody did some research on one a them new-fangled air-sites and Conan is far and away the best host for featuring comedians, and I mean stand-ups in a feature slot, not yet another appearance by Dax Shephard, who isn't a comedian and also isn't even slightly funny, but who's on one show or another three nights a week, when Kristen is busy elsewhere. Like making a movie not one single person can remember the name of.

[@khanikun2587]

I would have never knew who Burr was, if not for Conan. The guy is hilarious.

[@juls7582]

His comedy is very dark and intense. I loved every second of his Netflix specials. He knows way too much for a 26 year old. He’s not ashamed of who he is, he talks about very uncomfortable subjects, and he makes you think while your laughing. He does not care if you like him. He has a very promising future!

[@rossshepherd9836]

And he's a Scotsman. Everything about him is awesome.

[@JediNiyte]

This guy is a next-level thinker. I genuinely think he's brilliant.

[@thomasj4786]

He’s definitely an intelligent person, and, at least for me personally, he gives off this vibe of being the guy who you can just hang out with and have some drinks at the local bar while also being the kind of person that you can have legitimately great intellectual conversations with. Also, if you haven’t already seen it, I’d highly recommend checking out his TEDx talk, which can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpKQhoiejJxgfrc It’s legitimately interesting while also being quite funny.

[@khiaratt]

he's 30 now

[@cameronmcintyre8546]

to bad I can't see his show it is bloody 16 plus

[@Koriant88]

It's awesome to see him start at the 5 minute stand up on Conan's show to being a guest at the chair. How far he's come.

[@Raskolnikov32]

Yeah, about 30 feet, by my reckoning.

[@eatmyshamrock]

He's come so far since his days as a 16 year old, writing jokes for Frankie Boyle. Its great to see

[@bee4590]

They produced two of his specials too! :)

[@digitalsalsas]

This would definitely not be said about any of the other late night shows. “the chair” is conan’s chair :: Just realized conan is truly the heir of carson. wow tbs got lucky

[@mattshiznet]

Conan worked on his special lol

[@Caroo1313]

Sadly, Conan didn't let him explain, WHY his special was ending relationships. It is essentially about happiness & loving yourself first instead of "employing someone else to do it for you". He is explaining that a lot of people end up in relationships where they aren't really happy, but since they feel so pressured by society to be in love/relationships and they don't fully love themselves they just forcefully try & make it work & change themselves in order to keep up the fassade of a happy relationship, because they can't bear being alone. And they end up being very unhappy, whether they realize it or not. Daniels stand-up simply forces them to think about their life & their relationship & whether they are happy, because we usually avoid thinking about those kinds of questions when we don't want to hear the answer. So all the ended relationships were bad for the people that were in them & Daniel simply helped them to stop lying to themselves. So he has essentially LIBERATED over 4000 people and counting from wasting possibly years of their life in a relationship that didn't make them happy & they can now learn to love themselves, how to be their own person and live their own life and THEN maybe actually find love that makes them happy. :)

[@soni8995]

Thanks for taking the time to explain this. I wish he could've talked longer. Yes! I love it. Self love and awareness, people! ❤

[@oLivaz22]

The interview is to plug the special and get people to watch it. If they explain the whole thesis of the show there's no point in watching the special.

[@ashleymartin83]

4000 breakups = 8000 people

[@ptarleton]

Assumes no one was double dipping

[@luisaraujo6089]

note: this can also be the case for friendships

[@AdrianaGonzalez-zq6tx]

If couples broke up because of a joke, then their relationship was a joke.

[@kioking3592]

He may have said his jigsaw thing in a stand up comedy show, but it's far far away from being a joke.

[@thejosie]

Fax

[@lrose1310]

I've seen the show, it's actually a pretty serious part. Like the whole show really takes a turn.

[@Just0wnedEsport]

If you watch the special, it wasn't really a joke. It was some kind of social observation. I had the same thought ever since I was a college student. Just couldn't express it correctly. But then Netflix released Daniel's stand-up and I couldn't be happier.

[@HelgaCavoli]

Not a joke, a reflection. But yes, couples then aren't dealing with their issues as they should.

[@dykethatbites]

Fun Fact: I used his Jigsaw analogy in my English class during a debate lesson Relationships (I credited him, don’t worry) and my teacher told me that my work was exemplary and that I should show it to his [students, two years above me]. Thank you, Daniel.

[@georgeweasley54]

I watched both his specials and honestly, as a single person jigsaw made me feel good about myself because I've never felt pressured or had that constant urge to be in a relationship and I thought that there was something wrong with me??? and jigsaw really helped me in that aspect of my personal world view...so thanks mate

[@captaindisfunction]

me too. I don't understand why everyone thinks his perspective is so revolutionary, because that's just always been my normal mindset my whole life. I thought that either I was weird, or everyone else was delusional and I was the only one who could see clearly lol (option 2 is so unlikely that it must be option 1). Watching his special is a huge relief because now I know it's not either of those things, there are actually other people who think the way I do and it is as logical as I always thought.

[@chrizznist]

I can't tell if he is a discount or premium Macaulay Culkin

[@TCt83067695]

i know about Daniel not from Conan but from a ‘random’ netflix suggestion and im very glad that he existed. i love every single thing about his two specials. i need moooorrreeeeee

[@OnEpIeCeLuFfY9]

I can only say that "Dark" and "Jigsaw" are both a MASTERPIECE.

[@abbye5841]

jigsaw should be mandatory viewing for every couple ever

[@kelzbelz313]

I saw this dude at an underground (literally) comedy club in Edinburgh almost ten years ago. He was hilarious then and I’m glad to see he’s honed his act and found success.

[@randomuser3592]

Currently in a strained open relationship. We only started dating quite recently and essentially he’s made it clear that now he feels like he has me, he doesn’t have to put in any effort to meet my emotional needs. Hooked up with a guy who I didn’t expect to click with but I did. He knows he doesn’t have to put in effort in making me feel happy because I already have a partner but he does anyway. I’ve had a lot of issues with guys only wanting me for one thing and, surprisingly, this is the first time in a while that I felt appreciated for who I am as a person. We both admitted that we really like each other and that, while we’re going to take our time because we have other options, we’re still going to have to make a decision as to where we want to go with this. It was the other night that we were both watching this together and, though it sounds daft, it seems like a sign of some kind

[@TheCritic609]

I just saw the special - one of the best written shows I've seen. Good on you Sloss

[@jaynegrant3133]

Ok, needless to say I went straight over to Netflix to find his show. It is gold. I’m not a Sloss statistic, sorry, already divorced and a (mostly) repaired puzzle. Keep up the funny. Thanks Conan, Daniel is funny as heck.

[@TheUnicorni]

Love this guy! Both jigsaw and dark are great! Go watch it... if you dare

[@Orcawhale1]

Gladly, but i can't find it on any of the torrent sites.. *edit* found it on rarbg.

[@Orcawhale1]

[@diegoplaza5278]

Which show is the one that break couples? :)

[@Orcawhale1]

Jigsaw ;)

[@17rhino697]

@@diegoplaza5278 Jigsaw, but Dark is really worth watching too and part of the Jigsaw story follows on from that show.

[@zoee2473]

I've seen his Netflix specials so many times, and I love them. And I want to share them with my friends but my friends are dating and I don't want them to break up 1) because they seem so happy(we all know that could be a facade) and 2) because if they do break up they are gonna blame me, and then I lose 2 friends. But the specials are hilarious!

[@parryxxlivxx]

Think of it like this: if they blamed you then that would be proof that they didn’t have the insight to realise they weren’t in the right relationship and needed your intervention even more desperately than you realised - be a good friend and don’t allow them to waste any part of their life with the wrong person!!

[@rolfmeyermusic]

Tell me about it, alot of the people I used to go to school with are now married and every photo looks like everyday is like a honeymoon. Sound so exhausting...

[@SugaStarr]

Social media isn’t real.

[@rolfmeyermusic]

Why are you here then???

[@normagruden]

This just means that 4.000 people already weren't meant for each other and weren't really happy. And it's kinda scary to think so many people are actually in bad relationships and they might not even know it.

[@ardedits540]

I’m so glad I found his comedy. It’s perfect for my sense of humor

[@BattlefieldSailor]

I love Conan's laugh. Here, and with Bill Burr. It's so nice to see a host and comedian truly enjoy their guest and good comedy, setting their ego aside.

[@Bargum1]

Conan:so you have almost created like a virus, that is destroying the bonds which keep people together Me: well that didn’t age well..🙄

[@ericschnautz6603]

He literally predicted coronavirus on air and we didn't do anything.

[@meisteremm]

So what you're saying is that Daniel Sloss is behind Covid? That son of a bitch needs to be stopped.

[@dziuga7571]

Honestly after seeing his show I did start thinking about my relationship and sure enough a few months later I left my partner.

[@Mabuheey]

My friend is a serial dater and she is always in a relationship. She doesn't understand why her relationships don't last. I keep telling her that it's because she needs to love herself first before she puts that responsibility onto someone else. Daniel explained this exceptionally well, but it's been challenging trying to get her to watch the special

[@peachteaspanda2028]

Once I heard it was breaking people, I stopped watching this and went to his special then came back. I have to say it's worth it.

[@kurikong2379]

I tried to make my friends (who were in a relationship) watch Jigsaw, but they don't watch stand-ups so I tried to memorize Daniel's lines word for word so that I could evangelize them whenever I could

[@DjRaulio]

He's just so AWESOME!!!

[@Ontime2day]

I'm glad Macaulay Culkin finally has a comeback as a stand-up!

[@4x4PearlyInCA]

Daniel Sloss: curing the bad relationships from existing. 🤣🤣🤣 This guy is AMAZING!!!!

"You've created like a virus and put it out there and it is destroying the bonds that hold people together"🙂

[@jackiekober13]

Omg I am in love with Daniel Sloss. I hope one day to meet my Mr Right and him to have a very similar personality. Just by his jokes you can tell he’s a romantic but realistic about it.

[@ballconei4879]

Last night I was lucky enough to see Daniel sloss in person. I built up the courage to go and tell him that I really like his comedic Style. He then proceeded to punch me in the face while screaming in a South African accent I don't know who you are. As I waited for the ambulance to arrive I thought myself that's true comedic Style right there.

[@LeftyRed]

I just watched it. Both specials are amazing.

[@pablosuarez7008]

well now.. a late late comment on this.. i remember when this show hit netflix it became one of my favorites.. i showed to my wife we have been together for 13 years now... but we started out really young.. i was 15 she was 18.. i have to admit eaven though i have always tried to be as sincere as possible i was a bit nervous... but i had to show her... cause... wanted for her to reflect upon those things... turns out.. it toke her only 10 seconds after the show she just sayd. "that guy is saying some good stuff.. loved the show."... told her "anything u would want to talk bout?" then she responded "its just a funny show honey".... but... unexpected side effect... showed it to my lil brother who was 20 at the time.. and u guessed it.. not one month after the show and he was really worried about orange juice with pulp in it.. XD broke up with a real nice girl LoL

Went to watch what the buzz was about, Daniel was funnier than I expected. And if it's true that people have broken up after seeing his act, well I guess he's right (I don't wan't to spoil the special... if you can spoil one?). I don't really agree with everything he said (regarding the relationship bit), but I get where he's coming from.

[@brucevrodoor4781]

Just saying I’m 23 and have had social media for probably a little over 10 years, I have seen thousands of photos of relationships and all those sorts of posts like that. I’ve never, not even once, thought they were trying to rub it in or that they think they’re better than single people in any kind of way. Very strange way to interpret someone else simply trying to be happy/proud of their relationship. I mean, I’m sure there’s people out there who DO try to rub it in and all that, I’m just willing to bet it’s an extremely small percent and obviously those relationships don’t last so why bother being so upset? Very strange it bothers this guy as much as it does.

Jigsaw is the Scenes From A Marriage of stand-up

[@sarasolen]

The couples that broke up due to his show, like he said himself, were bad relationships to begin with. He’s made people realize stuff and ask themselves questions. Like are they truly happy? In his own words; it has simply worked as a medicine to stop bad and unhealthy relationships from existing. He doesn’t break up happy couples, because how could he ever have the power to do that? If you’re in a happy relationship and the happiness and love is mutual, some jokes in a show won’t affect that. And if it does, it was never what you thought it was.
