I love when Joe Pera finishes a joke with "just kidding"

[@TheHonestPeanut]

Just so you know... So no one's left unsure.

[@Crawdaddy_Ro]

It's so wholesome. I think that's why Joe and Townsends mean as much to me as they do. They're such a breath of fresh air.

[@LIamaLlama554]

We should all pitch our phones into the sea and move into a cabin.

[@TheHonestPeanut]

@@LIamaLlama554 as someone who went from Boston life to the woods of western MA, our phones can be a VERY useful tool. We just need to learn some self discipline and how to use it. Getting rid of social media makes life better.

[@Fyr3St0rm]

@@LIamaLlama554 But how would we know our lives are so short and precious without our phones?

[@bagel3703]

I love how Joe Pera keeps coming back to Townsends. It fits him so perfectly and it makes for incredible episodes.

[@The_Mimewar]

Joe Pera seems like a cast member that left to do his own show, but comes back often. He’s so natural in this world

[@kclark8281]

I’d like to see a joe pera/ fritz (old tyme hawkey) collab now!!!!

[@Fatvod]

This seems like the same episodes as last time just in one video

[@livinglife8333]

I don’t know who Joe is, so just wondering if Joe is ok? He seems stiff and moving very slow.

[@deepseadirtbag1333]

he's just old but he's still vibrant and vital

[@nwChicago47]

I’m 32 and I watch this with my 88 year old grandma when I visit her from Chicago in Indiana. I love how we can connect over your content and it’s been a beautiful addition to our relationship that will be cherished forever.

[@cmw184]

Dude i was so surprised to see this lol i only know him from his show on adult swim like 10 years ago i had no idea about this crossover of the century

[@tylerp6375]

I also had not heard of Joe prior to seeing him here. His show makes me laugh, cry and smile. It’s incredible.

[@chrisblanchard6413]

Joe Pera Talks with You is a genuine work of art.

[@steven95N]

His references to Western/Upstate New York always bring a smile to my face 😊. He really is a national treasure.

[@baseless.m8]

This is the best crossover episode ever

[@FacesintheStone]

Really? Are you sure about that? I think of this channel as real history, accurate. What we are doing here is bringing in a comedian to play a part. 11:19 it’s all just jokes.

[@ph6251]

His act will be like Benjamin Buttons. As he gets older he progressively acts like a young man. Learns to kickflip at 74.

[@ThatWeirdGuyFromWork]

I honest to god don't think it's an act

[@ashpete21]

@@ThatWeirdGuyFromWork It's an act. He's a standup comic

[@JakobHill]

@@ThatWeirdGuyFromWork He's just so incredibly good at what he does that it's second nature. It's like how George Carlin acted like a foul-mouthed nihilistic grandpa, while also playing the friendly Mr. Conductor on Shining Time Station.

[@monhi64]

@@ashpete21we know he’s a comedian dawg, we’re saying that as time goes on it becomes less and less clear how much of a character he’s playing. I think it’s like Nathan fielder where it’s still a bit of a character but largely based on his own personality and he’s only exaggerating some parts

[@Pieces_Of_Eight]

Joe is a delight. What a pleasure to slow down and soak in the words, sounds, and insights of the shared Townsend Experience.

[@nelly5954]

The best thing about Townsends are the personalities of each presenter. They all feel like characters out of a period movie, and yet still so genuine.

[@terryt.1643]

Not feeling so good today. What a perfect way to spend the day rather than feeling bad. Thanks, Townsends team and Joe. I will enjoy this. Loved the compilation! 🥰👍👍

Seriously? Been watching Townsends for years and just discovered Mr. Pera, and now I find this crossover? I am quite grateful. Keep up the good work, gentlemen.

[@fyrus_fear]

townsends and joe pera are two totally seperate spectrums of my youtube phases and yet here they are intertwined. Now that I see it it just makes so much sense.

[@RightHere12]

I’ve been to the shop and tavern twice now with my daughters and we filmed our “Townsends Roadtrip” video for our channel “Bushcraft Evolution” but we are so hoping to one day have a chance to sit down with Jon and chat. We are in love with the 18th century and really enjoy all that this channel has to offer…

[@nukeacitrus883]

Love Joe Pera! He has such a relaxed, down-to-earth aura about him, no matter what he does, be it 18th century carpentry or entertainment. That aura goes hand in hand with the Townsends channel, so this video was definitely a must-see for me! ☺

[@samueloakley4254]

Such a delight to see Joe so game to learn and the Townsends crew so patient to teach

[@janetprice85]

The fact that many people still live this way in many parts of the world and our grandmothers lived that way even during the Great Depression in many areas of the US gives one an appreciation of modern convienences. My Grandmother washed clothes in a huge iron pot over an open fire until a passing salesman sold her a washing machine run on a gas motor for a little pig. Grandpa thought it was a waste of a good pig! Lol!

[@beth12svist]

I'm guessing grandpa had never done the laundry. 😁 Unless the machine worked badly. I have had times when I was washing-machine-less. It and the fridge are up there among my favourite inventions.

[@renecomedy]

I don’t get star struck easily, but I probably would for the townsends. This channel is amazing.

[@RealBradMiller]

I adore it!

[@rogertemple7193]

Always great to see how our ancestors lived and survived in those days Thanks. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@FacesintheStone]

Go back even further. ❤ all those US flags only represent 250 years- just a little over three people. Our history in America is nothing compared to the rest of the world but if you live in the box then yes it’s substantial.

[@kikij6465]

​@@FacesintheStonetake a breath, did the flags trigger you sweetie? Its okay to be patriotic. Im sure he didnt see the Townsends section on ancient sumeria or Townsends special on living in Japan during the Edo period. Basically read the room moron. The video is about American life during the early days of American settling. I forgot the section of the video that expounded on the napoleanic wars in Russia. Gth regard.

[@eatbolt42]

I can't remember a show getting canceled hitting as hard as Joe Pera Talks with You did But now he's back on Townsends! Again! Hope springs eternal!

This is the most random thing ever ... I recently became aware of Joe Pera, I've been watching Townsends for years ... somehow this makes perfect sense. I feel like I should be friends with Joe Pera because we would meet at some fancy party and each be totally intimidated but then end up bumping into each other and talking about vintage farm tractors for about 3 1/2 hours and they would end up kicking us out because everyone else went home.

[@michaelarrowood4315]

JOE PERA! MY MAN! If you haven't checked out Mr. Pera's latest comedy special, I'd really recommend it, he has made it available for free on KZbin (at least for now!) and it's great. He somehow manages to be genuinely funny in an extremely positive, uplifting way. Far too many comics rely on insults and negativity, when we should be encouraging more supportive and cooperative messaging in popular culture.
