FIRST TIME REACTING TO | RANDY BUYS A BOOKSHELF OFF GUMTREE - REACTION

[@TheMrDwillison]

I do tech for a theater and we had Randy back in October. The comedian behind it is Heath McIvor and he's the nicest dude ever. Not only did he put on a killer show but he spent time after the show hanging out in the lobby and taking pictures of "Randy" with fans for free. By far the coolest person I've met working in comedy. He really loves his craft and loves his fans. You don't see him behind the little booth but his control and reaction time is insane. When he's doing a show he's 100% in the moment.

[@TheMrDwillison]

@@WigWoo1 I wouldn't have said his name if it wasn't public information. He's done interviews as himself promoting Randy.

[@riccardocastiglioni1611]

Not enough people have seen this beautiful piece of comedy, glad you enjoyed it! "Randy Feltface presents the life and times of Ernest Hemingway" is another gem for you.

[@thatguy4997]

the ernest hemingway one is amazing

[@brittany1049]

WHAT A GUUUUUYYYY 😂

[@QuayNemSorr]

The entire show is absolute gold!

[@eliasholzheimer8085]

KARMA

[@nerdbot37]

The whole Randy Writes a Novel show is absolutely brilliant!

[@Rancorous_Ryan]

This clip will always hold a special place in my heart, no matter how many times I watch it, I'm crying with laughter!

[@brittany1049]

My fav is showing it to new people and watching their inevitable Pikachu faces 😮

[@Chiwalker]

No matter how many people react to this, I'm always entertained by how invested people get into the story. That just goes to show to great Randy is, not just in his delivery, but his mastery of puppets as well.

[@MetalMonkey]

Randy is hilarious. Gumtree is like Craigslist. The puppeteer (i forget his name) is fantastic, the hand/arm control brings Randy to like, it's so well done

[@ianmontgomery7534]

Sammy J I think

[@MetalMonkey]

@@ianmontgomery7534 Sammy J was his comedy partner before he went solo

[@ianmontgomery7534]

@@MetalMonkey yeah I realised that later. Randy is Heath McIvor.

[@StorymasterQ]

DON'T LOOK AT HIM!

[@Duckmaster100]

It's doesn't matter as the puppeteer has said in Interviews that the comedian is randy how matter how the magic trick happens

[@zaxzumu4605]

According to one of his more recent specials, Randy was really struggling to break through at the time of this recording. He had done a string of shows in NYC during this tour and couldn't fill seats to save his life. Until someone pirated this special, put it on KZbin, and it became a viral sensation worldwide.

[@ramadiii]

I absolutely love Randy and I'm SO happy to see you react to this! He's so good at making you forget he's an actual puppet 🤣

[@Sairin13]

Honestly, nothing is as hilarious for me as when he takes that deep breath and whispers to the audience "Here's how this sh@t went down."

[@bemasaberwyn55]

By far the escalation from there is SPECTACULAR

[@Sam-sr9zq]

"How does one bleed when you are a puppet?" You never seen Don't Hug Me I'm Scared?

[@B0mber44]

Sammy J and Randy were also on a show called Good News World here in Australia. They did little 3-5 minute sketches that are hilarious. Some were where they lived together in a house and drove each other nuts, and some sketches were of them pretending to be Australian politicians sitting up in the back of the room and talking about non-important things. They’re really funny

[@ROgdenGOOS]

I recently saw Randy in Columbus Ohio, and he was phenomenal. Wonderful stage presence, and masterful story telling.

[@Sharonmarshall66]

Randy is AWESOME! Good introduction (along with Tim Minchin) to Aussie humour.

[@xanderfoxjsc]

Randy's specials are hilarious. The Bookshelf story is glorious and the punchline of "F@#k you Hemingway" is a call back to earlier where he summarizes the crazy life of author Ernest Hemingway. A good amount of the stories end up going across the whole special to get to a second punchline that reframes the entire act! Telling the stories through the medium of Randy is a joy to watch as Heath knows how to get wild expression out of pretty basic puppet that makes Randy that much more engaging.

[@MikeKnops]

Gumtree is the Australian version of Craigslist.

[@jamesu1540]

Its also in the UK

[@blakeverdon4492]

He's such a good story teller and I get so invested every time I watch this that I _genuinely forget that he says it's not true_ LMAO Granted, I only really hear this story every few months to a year, but still!

[@tysonellis1172]

Don't forget, Morgan was in the crowd...and he's still holding the hammer

[@Wisper_17]

I literally got a gumtree ad whilst watching this video😂

[@lukusblack6442]

To fully understand the Hemmingway bit, you should watch his clip about him. It's incredible, and oddly informative.

[@robandjess73]

I love watching Americans react to Aussies 😂 we're a fun bunch 🇦🇺

[@AMcGrath82]

Britt you are a gem. Please never lose your esteem. We need people like you.

[@megdelaney3677]

💜Love Randy Feltface!!!

[@Kono-Dio-Da_]

At the end Randy indirectly called Morgan's Ex wife an evil witch..😂😂😂😂

[@Zeitgeist6]

I got to see him live a few months back... He's so incredibly good. You totally forget he's not alive when he's telling his story.

[@michaelparham1328]

1:37 It's called Dunbar's number. I just recently learned about it in the manga/anime Dr Stone. 3:38 There's an argument to be made that the reason some people who are active and vigilant of their personal social media, are doing it because it's the most convenient way to keep tabs on important people in your life, without having to call them on the daily to know what's going on. To me, it's actually kind of humorous how the two groups view one another. To an introvert, people who are very active in their personal social media, can come off as nosey, and attention seekers. Whereas people who are socially active, see introverts that who don't use social media, as people who just don't care how anyone but themselves are doing. There are good and bad people in either group.

[@kdg.2291]

They way y'all were both in sync when y'all both said "NOOOO" lmaoooo. I frekin' love Randy, man!

[@fionabarrie9697]

I’ve been enjoying watching peoples reactions, to the degree I almost have the story of Morgan memorised! 😂😂😂

[@Raphotron2000]

I love everything about Randy and his preformences

[@gabrieljean906]

I do recommend that you hunt down the full show, because it's not just this clip, the whole thing fits together and locks tight, with setups and payoffs throughout. It's one of his best performances.

[@tonyabomia7217]

Well, you fell down the Randy rabbit hole. Welcome. There's a lot of us down here just waiting for more to join the queue.

[@forgesoulfire1320]

But Randicus does not follow queue culture would you betray the book of randicus?

[@tonyabomia7217]

@@forgesoulfire1320 True and Randy is my religion so it would be blasphemy to betray him.

Thats why Randy is a legend

[@jasonlebeau1288]

Gumtree is a British based classifieds site/app that is also available in Australia, where Randy Feltface is from.

[@QuayNemSorr]

Watch the entire show. It's freakin' hilarious.

[@papasmurph131]

This is one of the best things in comedy history 💙

[@kevo6190]

Yep. That's an Aussie yarn right there!!!🤘🇭🇲

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

He is brilliant.

[@rammsteinrulz16]

One of my top 3 comedy stories of all time. You absolutely need to watch this whole special on your own time, it is seriously incredible and fills in some gaps in the narrative like Hemmingway and fisting old ladies lol

[@ADSmallAuthor]

Watched him live a few months ago, Randy is hilarious.

[@mollymillions5438]

I try to remember to check my phone everyday for calls or messages but I actually look at it about once every three days on average I am thinking.

[@christhornycroft3686]

One of the funnier things you'll ever see is a Wilkins Coffee commercial from the 1950s and 60s from Jim Henson, the guy behind the Muppets. It's so needlessly violent and mean spirited, but I love it. Those were the kinds of commercials they showed on TV back then. So funny.

[@KeeleTasume]

Yess i have been waiting to see you react to this.

[@CatSamurai99]

His puppetry skills are unmatched, imho.

[@charlestoth3273]

Randy and Sammy J are Aussies, and gumtree is Australian version of craiglist/ebay etc

[@xandergrim7226]

WE are indeed puppets, we are just made from different stuff. Love Randy❤

[@Rayman0987]

I’m so glad you are reacting to this. Randy is amazing. Thank you. THANK YOU.

[@Randerson2409]

Can confirm, Gumtree is somewhat similar to Craigslist. It's just a place to advertise items for personal sale

[@JackieYoung-q6t]

Randy is Australian and funny as hell.

[@jdee999]

need more of randy

[@tetsuoshema]

This special has so many good segments. Randy Stops Drinking and his ernest hemingway Story, but honestly you should just watch the full special because it is great all the way through. It is called Randy Writes a Novel.

[@dylanbollinger6872]

You need to do more Randy

[@farmhome904]

Let Randy recite the biography of Ernest Hemingway to you. Seriously.

[@GrouchyOldBear7]

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

[@bigjay123]

Yeah Randy Feltface. This guy's hilarious. Just keep watching everything will be revealed

[@MasterBladeUos]

Randy said he made it up but did he really? Another thing. The shining scene he mentions has interesting back story. The director Stanley Kubrick wanted the actresses trauma and terror to look genuine so he ordered the crew to torment and verbally abuse her for the day or more and also made them do a rediculous amount of retakes of the scene so the crying mental break mess the actress shows in that scene is pretty real.

[@vvoof2601]

Lmao yes they play soaps in america.

[@thestingman2966]

I just came to say the same thing. Young and Restless, and Bold and the Beautiful on CBS, General Hospital on ABC, and Days of Our Lives on Peacock.

[@janmulcahy1458]

It's like you're in my head. You watch all the stuff I do. Love it when you interrupted him to clarify that we're not the same species 😂😂😂

[@tammyfinnemore]

Gumtree is like our Australian version of craigslist. Randy Feltface aka Heath McIvor, is Austrlain, and we love him here , yep I'm Aussie too lol

I am on youtube...........I no longer use facebook (5 years now) never had instagram, twitter, or anything else. Just email, and youtube.

oh and @17:05 he accessed the desktop remotely, he didn't open the Photobooth in particular, it was already open, tech savvy stuff eh

[@stevenbanks1548]

[@getaloadofthisguy2927]

He’s a professional stand up comedian. Give one enough time and they can create the most convoluted, unhinged funny story and pass it off as a stand up set

That was GOOD.

[@ToniBingi]

Yes, Randy is Australian.

[@I.Lostalim]

In case no one has yet: 5:56 Randy is the product of Sammy J, a political comedian. They are Australian You nailed Gumtree it is a kind of Craigslist type buy and sell website - the gum tree being a tree native to Australia - it is the source of Eucalyptus and where you will generally find koalas hanging out.

U should also look at the police breath test by randy 😂😂

[@indy_480]

Gumtree is weird. It like the Australian version of ebay, it is literally owned by ebay, but we also have ebay here.......

[@goofamatic]

Gumtree is like Australia's version of Craigslist. It is colloquially known as a marketplace used by the absolute dregs of society. (Yes, I'm sure many sellers on Gumtree are above board... but many aren't as well).

[@robertfalk3767]

Randy is an Aussie, 100%

[@AMcGrath82]

Actually this was really genuine. I laughed out loud.

[@JohnnyJohnJohnson]

We feel different things from reading a novel and being told a story isn't true after we hear it because we know the novel is fictional beforehand, whereas we only hear the story is fake afterwards. We go through hearing the story the first time under the assumption it's true unless told otherwise or we hear something that couldn't possibly be real.

[@johncolosimo1863]

"We are not puppets." Well, not all of us. lol

[@manfredkandlbinder3752]

I know many people suggested this and it is fun to see that you are not dissappointed the least.

to answer your question, we the Australian people clam randy feltface and sammy j

So, I think I've actually heard the story before from him, or actually, I saw the clip of it after this one, but basically, to my knowledge, it isn't actually the first draft, or atleast it's lightly modified.
