John Pinette all-you-can-eat buffets

John Pinette shares his hilarious experiences with all-you-can-eat buffets

[@bodenlosedosenhose1590]

To this day this is not only my favourite piece of any comedy of any comedy special, but it's also just lovely how John Pinette smiled when a joke worked. He seemed so happy and proud.

[@timothycormier3494]

Not to mention that this bit has been stolen by almost every single comic since! It really is just that good! Pull the joke apart or just use little hints of it. It’s a great story!

[@plev10]

"You here 4 Hour. You go now!!" RIP funny big man. I hope you're enjoying all the prime rib and lobster tails in heaven.

[@CrJediKnight]

He's one of those guys that genuinely looks friendly and fun to be around. I've read several comments about how he always stayed around after his shows to greet his fans.

[@cg-ny9078]

I think of John everytime I pass by a chinese buffet and say "You go now! You here four OWAH" Seemed like a lovely man. I bet it would have been great to know him.

A N - I love ethnic humor! Almost as much as I hate PC BS. Almost as much as I hate race-baiting morons. Ethnic distinctions have always been the basis of naturally hysterical humor.

I didn't know he died?? Wow R.I.P Mr Pinette. In this day and age, it's hard to make a true new friend that has your back. When I moved to this new town during my senior year, I had this friend who put me onto this, I remember I was down on myself one day so he offered me my first joint and put this guy's one stand up and that was back in 2012. To this day, I'm still tight with that friend and I still love smoking to this comedian, he goes up there with Chappelle, Chris Rock and Eddie Griffin for me.
