That last punch line..... the only other comedian to make me laugh that hard was josh Johnson.

[@fredabella]

I just discovered him last week and I had already watched this one a few times. So talented and extra hilarious. I wish I can get to see live one day.

[@jessikaeguia1946]

When you have lived in a country for a long time and actually your home is there you can say you’re FROM that place. English is not my first language but I got corrected by a native English speaker once because of the same issue. So he’s right when saying he’s from France.

[@TeaCup1940]

@@jessikaeguia1946 If you do not have the nationality of that country then no, you cannot claim you are from there. Because you are not a citizen of that country. You are an immigrant that lives in that country.

I've watched this skit half a dozen times and it's still hilarious. I love Gad, he's so funny and unusual- and his expressions are the best, he reminds me of a bird somehow. Trés bien et amusant!!

[@felixhoude6726]

@@Wazkaty Je regarde parfois les clips de Just for Laughs, en effet. Je n'ai pas vu beaucoup de son matériel à part ça. J'ai regardé justement parce que c'était sur la chaîne de Just for Laughs. Il m'arrive de regarder du stand-up d'humoristes que je n'aime pas vraiment par curiosité. J'en ai vu beaucoup, des numéros de Mario Jean à ComediHa. Ça me permet de savoir un peu plus ce qui se passe. Si tu n'as pas de problème avec le vol de blague de Gad pour une raison ou une autre, grand bien t'en fasse. Cependant, inutile de venir répondre à des vieux commentaires pour le défendre. C'est absurde. C'est un homme riche et assez influent qui n'a pas besoin de ton aide. Ton temps consacré au stand-up serait mieux investi si tu regardais du stand-up au lieu de répondre à des commentaires qui ne te disent pas de ne pas apprécier Gad Elmaleh, mais qui donnent une information à quelqu'un qui n'est peut-être pas au courant. Bonne journée.
