The bank teller bit would have been an instant classic.

[@DavidSmith-rv2hw]

"here's your lettuce; 20, 40, 60, 80, 100..."

[@jeremyg1833]

@@DavidSmith-rv2hw simultaneously hilarious and makes me want to gag. It would be sooo soggy🤢

[@AliceYobby]

But then jb wouldnt have had a Monday pitch🤣

[@pjganley]

That bit and character would’ve been a recurring one for sure!

[@umair111]

I like the helicopter one too

[@bananaman17]

I really love this guy. We don't see enough of him. I miss from his curb days... So Awesome.

[@helveeta]

+bananaman17 He was so great on curb! One of my favorite sit com characters ever.

[@helveeta]

+Andriy Tymchenko That scene was one of my all time favorites! Him and Larry were magical together!

[@dejbus]

Six years after, he’s still there.

[@jessepinkman801]

I remember when I was 10 years old my parents let me watch curb your enthusiasm with them and I remember nearly dying on the floor from laughter because of his character. A truly hilarious man.

[@prashantbhatia2007]

Of course he is funny, but that three-piece suit is dope. #gentlemanswag

[@ferretgoat3836]

+sphygmomanometer This comment is amazing

[@suicudeisbadass2861]

Shut up. I didn't come back from Paris to battle Pepe Le Pew

[@mateokajba2860]

First Secretary of State, VP number two, not to mention third President the fuck'd you do?

[@suicudeisbadass2861]

+Mateo Kajba third president not first

[@shane-o-matic]

Especially with the pointy toe shoes, socks up to the knees, pocket-watch, vest buttoned up, handlebar mustache, and hat tipped to the side. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpi7oI14l8eqmZo

[@holdmeback47]

i LOVE THIS GUY. He is absolutely hillarious with his mannerisms, expressions, verve, etc. Full of personality and smarts. He is the STAR on curb your enthusiasm.

[@garad123456]

The bank teller was amazing :D

[@-C.S.R]

I didn’t know he did stand up comedy and I saw that he was doing a show in Seattle, so we got tickets not expecting much but just wanted to see him because he such a cool guy and a funny actor! I’m not lying when I say that he brought the house down! I’ve seen a lot of top comedians and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen! It’s crazy that he’s not super famous for a stand up????

[@nietzschesmuse]

JB Smoove is multi talented star he can dance, sing act and make you laugh easy. I love his intelligent satire and Leon!!!

[@brianmcguire5175]

JB smooth's pitch ideas are amazingly funny. The realising them in a skit would be very difficult though as the pitch idea is so clever but the leaning on the theme for three to five minutes a difficult task. I think SNL should have had a recurring skit where the premise was a re enactment of a writer's pitch meeting with the feature of the skit was JB selling his ideas. The fact is it's hilarious as a concept or his ideas but I think it would be ruined by a fully fledge realising of them. The material is made all the more fun by smooth's ability to sell the concepts his unique mind has. Anyone agree, would have utilised him in SNL while not letting his ideas go to waste

[@FHSbaseball26]

"Let me tell you something!" Hahahaha gotta love JB

[@thatonegirlelaine]

I remember him from Def Comedy Jam. He is so funny. Also loves him in Pooty Tang.

[@mixaliskonstantinidis6773]

I love the 40s inspired look - you know when a man's got taste, when he goes for bespoke suits!

[@Tmanaz480]

Mixalis Konstantinidis ... Kudos on the French cuffs. Needs a watch chain though.

[@dimitreze]

black Jeff Goldblum

[@brianwanbaugh7485]

Some of these are brilliant! Tom Brady as the first guy in the NFL smacking another guy's ass would've been gold.

[@dirkdiggler8330]

The cat burglar with two eye patches was a funny one

[@EricaGamet]

I had never heard of him before...but now I totally want a show where he just describes and/or acts out his rejected SNL sketches! He describes them so well that I am totally picturing them...sometimes casting the current SNL cast in my head.

[@YoungBlackTalented31]

I'd love JB to do a podcast

[@sikhumbuzondlovu8726]

Chakra attack...

[@steinberg333]

Sikhumbuzo Ndlovu YES GTAV I will literally pull the car over when I hear him on the radio

[@TommEboi]

You can download the whole thing on youtube its my favorite

[@tannertehpianist]

Your wishes have been answered. Called "May I elaborate?"

[@umair111]

@@tannertehpianist It's an incredible podcast

[@nerfbutt]

These are brilliant ideas. I don't know if you can make a whole sketch out of them, but as concepts, they are great. My favorite of his that wasn't mentioned is his idea for a pirate that has two eye patches. Genius.

[@ragweedmakesmesneeze]

Seth once said as much in another interview. That there was NO ONE better at pitches, but translating them into whole sketches was near impossible.

[@taurusnyy]

so funny, he has some great appearances on old Stern shows as well.

[@jayczzzya]

The Pimptice. I'd watch that

[@nannerz1994]

All of these bits are so simple but so genius

[@dustinweber1945]

all of these skit ideas are better than 75% of the things that make it on to SNL

[@Slimpickinsorl]

Guaranteed smile every time I see this guy

[@BROKINVR]

I laughed so hard at every pitch! He’s amazing

[@Erilis000]

lol, I love how tickled he makes Seth at 4:32

[@Cuberonix]

Dude is hilarious.

[@luciusoglesby2469]

Bro a dude from New York saying morsels is the funniest thing ever lolololololol

[@bensnow2688]

I love his voice

[@jayczzzya]

Actually as a former bank teller I can say using your finger and Silva is the grossest way to count money. We used a a water sponge or sticky pad.

[@soimboredandtesting]

The first football player to slap a guy’s ass😂😂

[@cmcull987]

He is so funny and true about "helicopter family."

[@lordcron]

JB is one of the funniest cats in comedy! So funny!

[@Twocrudedudes]

"Do you have manners?" What kind of question is that Seth?

[@passionatebraziliangirl.4801]

JB Smoove i's multitalentéd he is a comedian great actor very funny, amazing dancer. I love him.

[@joker11asr]

[@elpookay]

JB Smooth is a pro on many levels

[@marcwa74]

Hilarious!!!!

[@nicu8628]

He was awesome in GTA V.

[@thisisrachels]

Hahaha he's hilarious!

[@hotrodder5034]

I first saw him on the Chris Rock Show on HBO many years ago. He was hilarious back then also!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@goldenarm009]

My favorite is the pirate with 2 eye patches. Or the detective that could solve crimes by drinking urine.

[@davidgribeiro]

I kept hearing: Attention teachers and students!!!!

[@JM-gs1gr]

That's Jay Pharoah

[@sammyver9]

Man, do I love his style.

[@fakebrainclub]

I think of helicopter family every day

[@blazayblazay8888]

BRUH JB UNDERRATED

[@AshPragasam]

The should make it one clip per pitch and call them JB Smoove's Morsels

[@stevenpinkerton777]

"People don't use the word 'morsel' enough." Has Larry influenced JB?

[@BullitCake]

these pitches are hilarious loool

[@thejayreal4931]

The bank teller skit should've made it

[@MaritimeWolf]

This guy is great.

[@roygfs]

these are great ideas

[@bearsbearsbears1685]

Idk what JB is talking about but I need to see it

[@blackjohnsnow9375]

This is fucking hilarioussssssss

Yeah A-Pimp-tas should have made air. Almost sounds like a Chappelle sketch.

[@hangukhiphop]

[@brickbreaker8148]

Where's the rest of this interview?

[@KB24sTaTuS]

so humor

[@Mike-t-m1921]

Shannon Sharpe and Eddie Murphy had a baby and named it JB Smoove

[@whodidit99]

Isn't the Helicopter Family the same as the Loud Family from the 70s?

[@coachwalk7485]

He sounds like John Witherspoon to me

[@fundifferent1]

I think the wig one could have worked, if the art department did the wigs right.

[@memoryhero]

Danny Duberstein

[@YouOpaOpa]

Playing Don't Starve we say morsels ALL the time

[@eyedropz4mycyclopsbrucelee412]

Seth Meyers should help me write a movie with JB and Fred armisen......Yo comon!!! Right?....lol

[@zamp6969]

The 50s Brady pitch wasn’t bad 😂

[@ludosanderz]

yeah jb should deffinitly do a podcast

[@conormorris5178]

`What's that music at the end of the clip? It's great.

[@__the__juan]

Fred wrote it for the show, it is an original piece.

[@DeliviaMusic]

How in the F**K is he not an even more major star that he is?!?! Larry David had sense enough to spot it and highlight him

[@dexterroberts631]

Bank teller was the best

[@ZEPSSofritoPito]

JB SMOOVE IS A LEGEND

[@maddymud]

How can you say morsel without putting tasty in front of it?
