Man is high af and slinging jokes I love it 😂

[@GarthWatkins-th3jt]

..."keepin' it real" is a real thing. I can't stand hypocrites. They make me laugh too, but for the wrong reasons.😕😆

Right?! I love it

[@henrywal]

His delivery was perfect

[@richardelliott8352]

I appreciated this man's unusual ability to add a dimension of whimsy, a lighthearted joyousness that is unusual to see in in a comic. .

[@jz9189]

It comes off very natural yes. Agreed, well said 👍🏻

[@ericphoenix1]

Agreed Richard and I appreciate you. We need more articulate thinkers in this world.

[@The-Perfect1]

Couldn’t have said it better. A breathe of fresh air, pardon the pun.

[@andrewevett8392]

I'm not saying he ain't like that. But id like to see how he talks to his black piers. Comedy is comedy though if you can pander to a whole community of any kind that's valid I guess.

[@BrentBrewington]

Sound effects are top notch. That isn’t easy to deliver, and he nailed it

[@pdxpete48]

I never heard of Greer before this was just luck for me to stumble upon his show, he's crushing it with his material and voice talent

[@adamlangdon2245]

@Graveborn ..he's really good...this is from 2009, he's a lot better now.

[@hodgej]

He's a veteran of the game...blessed with talent. I first saw him on def comedy jam, I believe back in the 90's

[@rjhikups78]

I remember him from Chappelle show.....when keeping it real goes wrong

[@AceIsMisfit]

He was on Chapelles Show a few times and he was in Joker. He's been around for a pretty long time now

is it just me, or is watching a comedian break character to genuinely laugh while performing funnier than the actual material?

[@jarrod2276]

He needs his own Netflix special!

[@qkranarchist3015]

I had a neighbor like Greer. I loved sitting out on his porch talking with him. Told him my Dad would have been a good neighbor for talking but I always knew my neighbor was a billion times smarter than me, knowing so much. I felt like a little grasshopper sitting next to him. We were roughly same age but man he was leagues more advanced. We'd sit for hours just talking. Miss him since I moved.

[@annbrew7328]

Never heard of Greer Barnes until today, but I sure would like to continue hearing his sketches. I was in stitches watching him perform so effortlessly and the sound of the brothers playing ping pong and his undersea conversation was nothing short of amazing. We definitely need more of this type of comedy.

[@onwabilementile5269]

That was seriously amazing from start to finish🤣

[@pastense]

This guy is just pure and simple with his comedy! No any type of subtle nuances needed to catch. Delivery and engagement is consistent all throughout. Everything seems truly improvised which makes everything organic as if he’s just talking to his friends. I really really want what he’s smoking!

I remember several years ago heroin addiction destroyed my life, I suffered from severe depression and a mental disorder until I was recommended to psilocybin mushroom treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly I'm 8 years clean now. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

[@HelenIbarra-rl3bq]

To be honest, mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on the planet and it is natural, they serve in many ways not only for mental related issues.

[@CapucineLeroy-bh7zp]

Can you help me with a reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. It is very hard to get a reliable source here in New Zealand. Really need!

[@AndreasSchwarz12]

Yes, Sporeville. I had the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction... Mushrooms definitely made a huge difference to why I'm clean today.

[@KarlitaBasurto]

I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He's 59 & has many mental health issues plus probably CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD knows if it is common for an obsession with violence.
