Joe Pera Helps You Find the Perfect Christmas Tree (2016)

[@sarahgonzales7359]

Finally! Thank you for posting this under your channel. Adult swim has held this hostage for too long! And if it makes you feel any better, it's December 21st and I still don't have a tree. My life is falling apart

[@markb130]

There’s always something to celebrate for! Give yourself a little tree at least !

[@prohdvid]

Agreed! I wanted to send to my parents and I hunted YT for hours 2 weeks ago

[@MrBooone]

Dude they straight up deleted it 2 years ago. It’s only on channel 4 now

[@justagirlintheworld45]

they probably still have some in store

[@anothergirlonthesubway]

It's okay to not have a tree up still, you're not the only one who's having an "off" holiday season (I know I am). You'll make it through this, friend ❤️🫂

[@OBKean]

My paternal grandmother passed today. I lived with her as a teen and as an adult Joe Pera talks with you has been a massive comfort and spoke to a lot of weird idiosyncrasies I had picked up by being raised in massive parts by two beautiful loving members of the silent generation. The entirety of this show feels like a hug and the last episode never ceases to make me cry as Abide with Me plays out of its earnity idk what it is. The last five years have been a hard albeit gentle succumbing to dementia and later alzhiemers but the wit, humor, and clarity of certain things of that generation or maybe just grandmas have,I can hear echo out of Nana and her friends and everything to the furniture and music have helped make me feel at home in my adulthood while I try to make one best as I can by what they taught me. I'm grateful to have been my Tita's grandchild and thank you Joe Pera for painting a portrait that beautifully depicts that unconditional love and grief in a really human and soft way. Watching this before bed was a treat after a really hard day thank you. It's the darkest night of the year and from here it gets lighter.❤ 12.21.41-12.21.23

[@LaGuerre19]

May both you and your grandmother have peace. I think you're right: when it's darkest, that's when you know the light is coming. Cheers

[@suzybearheart530]

Awww, your grandmother sounds really special. I'm sorry for your loss. ❤

[@rowzee.]

I'm so sorry for your loss. I just lost my cousin on the 19th, only 5 days away from his 37th birthday... it's been a doozie for sure but watching this was really comforting. Sending lots of warm wishes and hopes for many blessings in the new year to you, and to YOU as well, dear reader.

[@afn6224]

I’m so sorry for your loss. May her memory be a blessing.

[@pinkheartgamers5007]

If i had Joe Pera as a teacher in elementary school that would make my school years slightly more interesting and introspective.

[@judebarnes9209]

Though you and your classmates may have drifted off directly after lunch with his soothing teaching voice

[@papayacatproductions]

Guantanamo Bay is still open.

[@Fat4all]

plus you could have redbulls in class

[@Svoorhout85]

It was very touching when he told his class the day before their graduation, that tomorrow he would see them as his peers.

[@SchmavidSchmobb]

We live in a world where everything is shrouded in a protective layer of irony. Joe is perhaps the only comedian committed to complete sincerity and it gives me hope.

[@SchmavidSchmobb]

That being said, the irony of Connor O’Malley being one of joes main partners is hilarious

[@justinreedflynn]

The idea that people like this still exist gives me hope.

[@thatdamnsamsquanch]

This needs to be played on broadcast television every year. Just like Charlie Brown and Rudolph.

[@Wii505]

I hate that Adult Swim canceled your show. This video helped get your show picked up by them. Also, thus video is still one of my favorites and I'm said that we will never get to see what Joe and Sarah were going to do with the lot that Joe bought with the money from selling his Nana's house. Thinking of that made me think of my own grandma that had passed from cancer that she had everywhere. But anyway, I hope you and your extended family will have/had a great holiday this year Joe. And I like your soothing voice and how funny you can be. I hope to see one of your shows sometime in the future, when you come to Denver again Update: Never seen the full video until now and I like the changes that was made in the show from the things in this video

[@sarahgonzales7359]

Joe is coming to Comedy Works Denver March 14th - 16th. Tickets are still available and so very reasonably priced.

[@BitsofJoshua]

​@@sarahgonzales7359any price is reasonable to see Joe. Best night of my life.

[@RocketDogShawn]

Thank you Joe!! I know the chances may be slim, but a ton of us would love a blu-ray set of the show so we don’t have to worry about it going away or into the Adult Swim vault. I know that’s probably not something you have a lot of control over, but maybe if enough of us make enough noise it could persuade the powers that be? Merry Christmas!

[@Michelle-1]

I would absolutely buy a set!

[@kgpspyguy]

Same. I already own it on digital.

[@Boxelder91]

I would buy a set for myself, and my friends, and family. Joe Pera blu-ray would sell like hotcakes

[@Nibity]

I totally agree, we need the show in physical form!

[@JelqtronZero]

Do it yourself, we have the technology.

[@trouty606]

Joe Pera is like if a warm blanket and a cup of hot cocoa was a person. Absolutely wonderful.

[@J3Wbacca]

That final joke was so unexpected and hilarious thanks joe

[@Bitsy2019]

This joke is literally the reason I fell in love with Joe’s comedy. Not sure what that says about me!

[@yeeaahhzz]

lol but like, 30 ppl are still there right now hahaha

[@Ted_K_Have_a_nice_day]

We had Rudolph, frosty the snowman, Charlie Brown, Die Hard, The Hobbit, an unexpected journey. Now we have “Joe Pera’s finding the perfect Christmas tree” to add to our list of Christmas classics! Thanks Joe!

[@BebeDFairy]

I always get emotional when I hear his voice 🥺 in the good way. Feels like a safe home i never had

[@stevenfreebairn2553]

IT'S BACK BABY. This has become a yearly tradition in our household, and I find myself singing "Snow Snow Snow" and "Snow Snow Snow Snow" for weeks afterward.

[@Jiddy12345]

8:10 is what made me love this show

[@ParanoidThalyyMVS]

Thank you so much Joe, this one has become hard to find and it's nice to view it legally instead of having to rely on the file a guy sent me once, which is perfectly fine but when it comes to your stuff, I would rather watch it legitimately. I really hope you are able to get this and the entire series on DVD or (preferably) Blu Ray someday!

[@fistyann8434]

I never watched Joe Pera until Adult Swim’s Christmas compilation, like, this week. I think I’m in love. Also, I’ve had Snow Snow Snow stuck in my head for days.

[@sammorganmusic]

This is one of my favorite things you've done, and I've missed being able to watch it. Thank you Joe, this makes the holidays better every year.

[@mattadactyl]

It’s been available to purchase on Amazon Video and KZbin under Adult Swim specials- but kind of Joe to share it for free!

[@MilfMilker]

You really are a true artist, Joe Pera. Theres something very inspiring about the shows you create. I really hated that your show on adult swim ended, all we can do now is appreciete what you were able to create. Thanks for being cool.

[@MeadowGearSolid]

thank *you*, MilfMilker

[@nicholasm501]

The multiple ads make it impossible to fall asleep with this video. I understand one ad at the start. You make great content. Please take this into consideration.

[@klarkolofsson]

There's nothing more beautiful than a kind person working hard for his community. Field goal!

[@OkayOctowave]

Seeing this for the first time after all these years I've seen promos for this Christmas special, it makes me appreciate how things are and how it can always get better, that's what I felt from watching your show, thank you Mr Pera

[@Astral_body]

I think I felt something from that like a sense of belonging the sense of it gets tough for everybody around the holidays trying to find the perfect tree for Christmas but we can find meaning and joy, no matter our differences on this beautiful little planet we call home.

[@judithbreastsler]

Joe is so sweet, and I'm not even sickened, none of us is.

[@SamWlodawski83]

Man those other people don’t know how cool it would be to spend time with Joe Pera. I love it when you talk to us Joe, please keep it up man you make this world a little better with your videos honestly

[@DrNaz]

every time joe posts, heaven gets closer to earth, also happy christmas to joe and everyone.

[@Supernautiloid]

It’s good to see a young and idealistic Joe, before he became the bitter and jaded rebel he is now.

[@mikebrogen2709]

Your demeanor and mannerisms make you the most wholesome man I've ever seen & heard. I cant explain why but it makes me want to be extra nice to you and defend you from any harm

[@alasidereal]

I love him we should start a fanclub

[@itrywayytoohard]

Need more Joe Pera Talks With You!

[@hasenpfefferoni]

I’m so glad that you uploaded this to KZbin for all to see, as I can’t seem to find it anywhere else. While visiting family for the holiday, this came on after an airing of _Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory_ so I recorded and watched it with my Mom and it started a nice, lengthy conversation about pine trees. Then I accidentally deleted the recording. Thank you, Joe Pera. And merry belated Christmas!

[@MrDavidUtz13]

Whenever I start to become angry, I think about Joe Pera, and what he would do. Joe Pera is my calming center.

[@stacehansen3140]

I truly love listening to you tell us about things. Your humour is uplifting . Thank you for that! May everyone be safe, happy, and healthy.

[@guggenheim914]

I've been searching high and low for this gem and it's handed to me on a silver platter by the man himself! Thank you Joe, have a wonderful Christmas

[@matthewwalter3257]

If Joe Pera reads this I just want him to know he is a great example of how to have peace in your life. Wish more people could be like him. And he lets kids drink red bull in class

[@drummerr13oy95]

Idk what's going on at 8:09 but dude made me lose my shit, lmfao. Must be some high quality ass fish

[@anxiousdudeproductions]

YAY!!!! It isnt Christmas till I can watch this! Thank you Joe!

[@chrilz1498]

As a lifelong Michigander, I salute you, Joe 🫶🏻

[@l-l]

Thank you for re-uploading this Joe. I love to watch this every year with my family. Your show holds a special place in my heart and invokes feelings I can't find anywhere else.

[@arick7284]

Nana is back?!? A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!!! Joe, you may be the very best thing about Christmas. 🙏🎁🤗

[@LiaKozatch]

The river speech is one of my favorites! Happy holidays everyone!

[@PopsMgee_]

This was really great. The John Denver bit killed me. Thanks Joe and Happy Holidays

[@fuducker2]

What a goat, uploading this for free. I purchased it way back in the day.

[@billiondollarclownfarm]

finding a christmas tree has been a difficult concept for me to understand but visualizing my life as a former michigan state field goal kicker who briefly dated sheryl made it click thank you!

[@Guigen]

This has cleared up a lot of confusion. Thank you, Mr Pera

[@AlexanderPont]

I've been looking for this everywhere. Glad to have finally seen it! I really hope your show can come back in some form, one way or another.

[@calsavestheworld]

Thank you Joe. While fast-paced, this video helped me to select my annual tree. I picked white pine because I like its ambitious needles. Happy nonspecific holiday.

[@leafbelly]

Gene: "When Manhattan is under water ..." Joe: I like the sound of that.

[@mmm70]

Please make more of these on this platform. I have really missed your show.

[@WelfareChrist]

YES! I miss this show like my cat that just passed away she was 20 years old and the best thing in the world. Now I cry randomly in public. Also I love that Mike's and his family are still around, absolutely love that actor.

[@ampdesign]

@21:53 Guantanamo Bay's still open

[@RDWheat]

I don't care that I found this after Christmas, I'm still stoked

[@jacobedwards5038]

I love the things you make. Thank you for putting this out for all to see.

[@BitsofJoshua]

Merry Christmas Joe! We love you.

[@kpepperl319]

I really wish all Christmas programs are this sweet... True sweetness, not like an artificial sweetener. This feels like Charlie Brown's Christmas. Thank you.

[@patrickblakethesaint]

Merry Christmas everyone! Or Happy Holidays. You are loved!

[@TuggyTV]

I had a streamer friend of mine who has passed away. He was one of the most incredible friends whom I never had the privilege to meet in real life. We use to watch this every year as a tradition. I am watching it in your honor tonight friend. I miss you Dr. Ezekiel !

[@agneebags]

i smiled so wide when mary talked to him. joe pera walks the line between heartwarming and funny and i love it a lot.

[@RationalRyan]

Thank you Joe. I've been looking for this ever since I found out about it this year. I was going to rent it on youtube or amazon, but you saved me a couple of dollars.

[@nedkent5239]

Nice! Representing Newberry!

[@ytm23ak]

Thanks Joe! Didn’t have time to use your advice for this Christmas of course but I’m looking forward to applying it next year.

[@ChanceChoice]

best way to celebrate the solstice

[@galaxionart9338]

I didn’t get to put up a tree this year, in fact for most of my life my family had an artificial tree. But that was okay with me because I could still decorate it with my family with a cup of hot cocoa. I think that’s the important part of a Christmas tree in the end: it’s what you do with the tree itself that counts. Either way, I’d probably go with a pine tree if I had to choose one. I hope you found the right tree this year and I wish we all could have helped you find it on Adult Swim where you truly belong. I’m sorry they couldn’t see that. Merry Christmas Joe :)

[@jzepf]

This is the greatest piece of comedy in the entire internet

[@ESCADAGORDON]

"This was beautiful, and I'm happy to see you know you can do things on ya own term. Remember dat Joe P. Ya Detroit boy Escada G."

[@LaGuerre19]

Vital piece of Americana. Belongs in The Smithsonian, right between Archie Bunker's La-Z-Boy and Bing Crosby's smoking jacket. Love you, Joe. Merry Christmas man and thanks for sharing. Have a warm apple night.

[@TLOEric]

THANK YOU!

[@gbm2192]

all time video

[@tage_heritage]

I found this yesterday and have watched it 6 times. It's hard to find the holiday spirit as an adult but this helped.

[@carpeimodiem]

8:37 Ladies and gentleman..."Rivers Gene". Aka "Christmas Gene". Aka "Original Gene" (The OG). OMG THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS, JOE. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE MISSED THIS SINCE THE GENIUSES AT ADULT SWIM TOOK IT DOWN... It's all I wanted for Christmas from the internet. ❤ 🎄🎁 21:51 possibly the realest outro of all time. Persona or no persona... Joe is a real one. Merry Christmas to all.

[@CitizenKang]

So glad I get to see Joe perform live in Brooklyn all the time. Always the best.

[@michaelkolasa8179]

Merry Christmas Joe, and to everyone here!

[@Boxelder91]

Thanks, Joe. Watching this is a new Holiday tradition now.

[@posm2615]

I've been waiting so long to see this again. I discovered your show on an airplane four years ago and somehow that was a turning point for me

[@alexl.9602]

Thanks for existing Joe. Merry Christmas.

[@acecreates4299]

Never seen this before, and what a joy it was to view it for the first time tonight. Will be watching it many more times in the future. Thanks for your loveliness, Joe.

[@HamCubes]

My Christmas wish has been granted! BLUE!

[@blameitonyaboi]

amazing. i will probably watch this every year

[@franciscosariles]

Blessing us with such a prescient guide just in time for the holidays. Thanks Joe, merry Christmas bud.

[@nmc1642]

First the perfect egg bite and now the perfect Christmas tree. Joe is always giving the world his gifts of discovery.

[@NickSSSSSSSSSS]

Fun fact most of Joe's actual family is in this

[@Sr_sly]

Hey Joe, I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@rosjasss]

Thank youuu! every year i was looking for this one, finding one web where i can watch it, had to create uk adress account, change time zone, get uk vpn, now i can finally watch it without doing all those acts, thank you Joe Pera

[@mystichash]

Touched my heart on a lonely Christmas Eve. Thanks Joe. Pines, Spruces, and Firs til infinity. ❤️

[@JeepersCreepers12]

When Proto-Gene makes that howling noise I lose it.

[@polartechie]

When I began the video, I was just an infant to the world of trees. Naked and cold. Now I am a man.

[@RageTastesLovely]

This is the first episode I've ever watched of JPTwY, and it made me cry 😭 I created an animation inspired by this episode on my animation channel! "Joe Pera Shows Me the Meaning of Christmas Spirit," just a group of kids doing something nice for their teacher for the holidays💕 Thank you, Joe!

[@koriludwig8538]

Yessss, thank you Joe! This is one of my favorites watches of all time. Field goal.

[@nomad1517]

Joe would be an amazing in nature shows and films.

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Glorious! Merry Christmas Joe and everyone else!

[@HomerSimpsonIsCool]

"You are a weirdo & you made my kids weirdos" Comedy Gold

[@l1berat0r]

Yes!!! Since 2016 and it's finally here!

[@Infinite_P]

Finally, a solid documentary that addresses Christmas Tree selection.

[@jesseg1699]

Joe you are an absolute gem you need to know it if you dont already keep being yourself and telling your story man for real

[@Wernershnitzl]

14:12 Oh no, Joe! You left your bowl of ice cream out. Hopefully it isn't too much of a mess to clean up when you wake back up.

[@elgringoperdido.]

Thanks Joe and Merry Christmas, Everybody ⛄🎄🎁♥

[@Ozzzzelot]

Finally! We love you, Joe! Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁

[@Gabi-Writes]

Instantly brought joy to my day!

[@burttheburger]

Hey Joe, love your videos and especially this special! I watch this every year as a Christmas tradition. Sadly I had to buy an artificial tree, but next year I’ll be buying a real tree and hopefully getting a field goal of a tree!

[@uboaa]

im so unbelievably happy i get to rewatch this

[@loganboyd10]

Thanks for visiting out humble state Joe

[@NeddyRoosevelt]

The best Christmas special ever produced 👏
