John Pinette - A Tour of Chicago

[@Umustbekidn]

John was a wonderful human being. He brought laughter to the realities that many big people suffer every day, and made that life hilarious. God bless his soul.

[@deb9806]

I wish I got to see him live, he seemed such a genuine individual. So sad he died the way he did

[@johnfriend862]

I'll always regret never being able to see him in person, but the great thing about KZbin is being able to watch him whenever I feel like laughing. His comedy will be truly eternal.

[@deb9806]

@@johnfriend862 We lost our dog recently and my husband was pretty down along with myself. It was his clips from youtube (most he hadn't heard) that got him to laugh for the first time. His delivery, timing and ability to make you feel like he'd be a friend, just draws you in.

[@michael_johnston]

My dad saw John shooting Craps in Vegas and went up to say hi. John asked if my dad wanted his autograph and my dad said “Nay nay”. John then gave my dad a hug.

[@kathywilliams5152]

So true!

[@SamK1281]

Oh my god he seemed so genuine. Why are the greats taken so early?! YOU ONLY HERE 50 YEAR! WHY YOU ONLY HERE 50 YEAR! YOU COME BACK!!

[@danieldroukis5431]

I didn't discover John Pinette until after he had passed. I think I missed a lot. The funniest man ever on earth.

[@bo6938]

The greatest, funniest, most loveable, cleanest comedian ever. What a lovely man. Rest in Peace, John!

[@Dr.Pepper001]

I heard him say "damn" once when he was really young. I was shocked. shocked.

[@MikeJohnson-hp8lr]

There are comedians, and then comedian’s comedians, and then whatever comes above them, and then, after them, there was John. He was the Citizen Kane of comedians…wholly original and likely never to be matched. We were insanely lucky to have had him, and to have videos like this to remember him by. I hope he knew exactly how much he was loved. The Beatles sang that in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make. John created a LOT of love everywhere he went, and it’s obvious that he took an immeasurable amount with him when he left us.

[@lorihansen8674]

We saw him live and, to this day, I cry shrieks of laughter tears when I hear his stuff. Thank God for KZbin!

[@JG40061]

I met him at the Palmer House Chicago years ago, very generous with his time to talk. A kind Man who left us too early. RIP 🙏

[@FiveFigsDigital]

I booked him very early in his career. It was 1987 and the venue was the Atlantic Inn on Block Island. What a funny man! He looked 14 at the time. Many stories from just a weekend. The crowds- 4 shows-loved him. I always thought I would see him again. I never did.

[@missjody5803]

Lucky you! We lost a good one way too early!

[@melnovit2775]

A comedian a singer. An actor a one of a kind personality. Most of all a sweet and kind man! I loved him.

[@EF-69]

I love that John would visit with people. It's a rare thing. It reminds me of Penn and Teller, they are the first ones in the lobby after a show and will shake hands with anyone & everyone.

[@kenlawrence7666]

John came to our town Charlottetown Prince Edward Island Canada twice. And then low and behold he talked about us in his Still Hungry Special. Thank you John for all the laughter you brought to this world. You are truly missed.

[@michaelclarke8549]

Brought a tear to my eyes RIP big fella

[@peterjanssen5901]

Great act. "I say nay nay" made it into my everyday vocabulary and ever so often I watch the "extended warranty" segment.

[@cindydevine173]

So many people loved him including me. Miss you John.❤

[@americanpatriot3638]

It's so heartwarming the way he interacted with that kid. Shows how down to earth he really was. You sure are missed big guy!

[@paanne1013]

Not a big guy but a Bigga Boy! He was so funny and I wish I had seen him live.

[@MRAMX390]

Listening and watching John can make anyone having a bad day feel much better. We love and miss you John.

[@davidrockey7190]

Very very kind and wonderful soul that brought us laughter and kindness 🙏

[@sesquashtwo]

Why oh why, do such wonderful and great, happy human beings have to leave the Earth-ful Plain so early....I hope God is busting a gut, having this wonderful Soul, upstairs....tears are in my eyes, as I watch this....God bless you John...do NOT 'rest easy'....but stride across the stage still, to a raucous heavenly crowd...!!!!

[@pauldegregorio6432]

He would NEVER need security detail when out with the people ‘cuz he was so damned loved! The way he treats folks makes ME proud to be a fellow Bostonian….a people not generally known for their warmth! John was the kind of guy a lot of us wish we were.😀

[@davidhaber5304]

What an amazing kind hearted man. Love this guy. Not only is he the funniest standup comedian but look how he comes out to me his fans waiting on line. Shakes hands. Just a true wonderful sole. It’s true. Only the good die young. So sad. How we could use his talents today. He would pick us all up. And clean humor. No politics. Love that man. God rest his sole

[@chucks_88]

I hear you but he still can pick us all up thanks to KZbin and the kind people that post this stuff

[@davidorme1993]

John and Louie were kind-hearted guys who treated people well, despite their success. What treasures!

[@rexdominos1614]

John was such a good hearted soul. The world is a little brighter when I watch his specials.

[@K3Flyguy]

I never seen him live but he has had me in tears many times with his wit and humor. Rest In Peace sir, you brought many people a whole lot of joy! Miss you.

[@rolandonieves3403]

I miss John . He was a unique individual ,a gift to all from a higher place.

[@davenc8527]

What a fantastic talent. Thanks for posting this.

[@timmcdermott9110]

I can’t believe I missed John in his career he is so funny and my type of person who gets life

[@ellisc.foleyjr9778]

Great Comedian, brought many new expressions to the world and they will still be around . he is missed for sure. RIP John. ECF

[@tbwpiper189]

[@bbysnooksmcginnis7209]

[@kimmorrison5564]

This is absolutely the best John Pinette video, thanks for sharing this.

[@VIDYMAE]

I love you John - even this video brought tears to my eyes.

[@rosannacellini2158]

No matter how many times I watch his stand up routines, and here the same jokes, I still laugh so much. He was so damned talented, in every way, and a good hearted soul. He didn't have to constantly, use vulgar language, he didn't need it. RIP John. ♥️🥰😇🙏🙏

[@davidlaroche5505]

Simply the Best! RIP John - You delivered Joy to this world

[@wayneperkins109]

[@GregoriousGregori9]

I am in North Western Ontario..... & I am old enough to remember listening to WLS on AM Radio at night back when it was still a Rock Station I was so lucky to get to see John twice before he passed

[@scottwilliams4383]

[@alecruffin3535]

Long live the legacy of John ,

[@gfunk63901]

Thank you for posting this. Always wanted to go to Chicago and I love this guy

[@1sames]

I found John, started watching his videos, and really got into his comedy. I figured I would seek out his schedule and try to catch him live. That's when I discovered he had passed on. I was devastated. Why? That's not fair. He still is my fav. comedian. Damn. What a shame. I discovered him too late but I will still watch everything he's done.

[@danielwatson5106]

John seems like the kinda man who could be any body's best friend

[@joeygarsone7575]

I watched his last show in Toronto at Massey Hall, he was fantastic. I miss him so much

[@caweso8321]

I miss John.

[@thezombiecreeper]

The “get outta the line” exchange between him and the kid is priceless

[@bigwillietheb]

I saw him once in Ybor City , outside of Tampa, FL I nearly pissed my pants laughing so hard , I miss you John taken from us too soon

[@tommyb8374]

Not just an extremely funny guy but you can tell a decent human being. So sad he passed away, far too soon. RIP good sir

[@slick9892]

I got to meet John once, when he was in Cleveland. He was the greatest.

[@cg6594]

Still Love John. He’s a legend. ❤️

[@RayzerSharpe]

aah wow, seems like it was yesterday. Only discovered John some years ago and would loved to have got to one of his shows.. Funny, funny guy

[@howardjolley2215]

A great man and a great comedian. He made you believe everything he said and you laugh till you cried. He was the leader of the Ewoks. Rest in peace John, you are truly missed.

[@thepriest98]

I was at that Ottawa show he was referring to. So glad I was able to see this great man and comedian in person. Still one of my fav's to this day.

[@michaelpoyntz774]

John Pinette a truly funny guy who never needed to swear or curse or put anyone down....RIP my man RIP.

[@jdpragmatic8644]

1:08 He was so good at his job he could make the “ding” sound of his fork hitting the plate make me laugh. Truly there will never be another like John Pinette.

[@ender_slayer3]

Man I wish I could have seen John in person, he was the first comedian that I saw that had me do the wheezing out-of-breath literally ROFL laughing. XD

[@chopper680]

It's been years since he moved on to the big gig. When it's my time I'll enjoy the greatest concerts and such including him

[@pgbollwerk]

John was so delightful. He is sorely missed.

[@MiketakesaHike]

John was a dear friend, I miss him daily

[@Chatsworth1979]

Miss this guy so much. 😢

[@rdgtxs]

I met him at the Beverly Hills Hilton as he was waiting for a car. He was such a gracious humble guy. Had a 10 minute conversation before his car arrived. He is missed!

[@AA-tc5if]

RIP big John we your audience will always love you and remember you..somehow I get the feeling you’re making the good lord laugh now !!

[@BuckyBoba]

John.... So generous. Thank You...

[@u.s.m.c.fewproudthemarines2987]

😢😢😢❤❤❤ Miss him so much. He was great 👍👍 Comedian REST EASY JOHN

[@jameslisle7775]

John Pinette’s larger than life. Pun not intended. R.I.P. you funny soul 🙏🙏🙏

[@RetreatfarmFarmvilleVirginia]

If i could have met John before he passed away i would have said to him "Thank you very much John", "You took the bite out of life for us...ALL" .....LOL.

[@angeloacosta9411]

What a funny fellow ! Moved away from Chgo 30 yrs ago... the only thing i miss is the food ! Miss you aswel John .

[@misplacedcajun2325]

I am a big guy like John was. Poking fun and joking about buffets and stuff are great therapy! I miss him and I would be willing to bet that he was a super sweet guy! RIP

[@andrewdelouise4830]

John Pinnette,like Kevin Meaney,was taken from us too soon. What a great comedian,and also from what I understand,a great human being as well. I remember first seeing him around the early 90s and a few years ago introduced his standup to my kids who absolutely love him.

[@animalyze7120]

He was taken from us far too soon. He lives on in the laughter He drew out of us, will be missed but never forgotten.

[@cpugh01]

Loved John, miss him and his brilliant mind

[@CallardAndBowser]

Thanks for making us laugh John !

[@loufancelli1330]

John was such a great talent and he resonated with so many people. I'm sad that future generations will not bw privy to his comedy

[@larrywilson6900]

John is one of the greatest ever comedians! 🇺🇲🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇺🇲 🇺🇲🇺🇦 Heroyam Slava 🇺🇦🇺🇲

[@justabaker5609]

So sad that his mind will not be treating us to new thoughts that would make us laugh. Saw him in person and I've seen all the clips multiple times and still laugh out loud. God bless you big boy.

[@donnamadiagan7402]

You left us too soon John😢

[@bloodsling]

7:03 awww that was cool,he loved his fans,and we loved him. Comedic brilliance gone too soon.

[@paanne1013]

I hope that when he left this world that he knew how much people loved him. He was so funny and seemed like a really nice person.

[@debispilker4392]

I love John Pinette

[@bungiesnowflake]

Like other celebrities, John was special, better than the rest of us. A bright light shining on the dull and dreary masses who were simply lucky to be alive in his time. He will be missed.

[@Hockeyfan9884]

I like this video so so much. Thank you for sharing.

[@ipaintkitchencabinets2069]
