Truly talented comedians can make you laugh without swearing....john was a master

[@LordStanley94]

@Wan Cia he was wonderful. In his early, early years he cursed now and again in his Spiel. I think someone close to him must have said to him, try your skit without cursing. He did, and he was way better off in my view. A guy like George Carlin or Richard Pryor they cursed, but it suited them. It was a part of them. Didn't bother me at all. Guys as John, Red Skelton, Jackie Gleason, Chris Farley, it did not fit their style. Man, this guy was great. He is dearly missed.

[@Oozywolf]

That's what made it so funny when he said "Listen to this crazy lady, you're gonna shit" 😂

[@drifterman319]

By now I think the ones who swear are disgusting. They are a total turn off. Only people with low conscience can laugh at garbage like that. John was a class act.

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

@@drifterman319 I get what you're saying, but I kinda think that looking down on people with 'low conscience', like that, is a sign of low conscience. Personally, I prefer comedy that's funny, and I don't care whether they swear or not. It doesn't affect me.

[@postwar46]

A brilliant funny man with superb timing ........... and he was clean !

[@riversd5]

I’ve just recently “discovered” John. I love his “Oh nay nay” bits. So sad to learn of his passing. One who could have been a legend! RIP John.

You are so right. I miss him terribly, too

[@forumcelebritypodcast]

what a funny and nice man. A huge loss to the comedy world. RIP to John Pinette. Thanks for the laughs.

[@junomesh]

I don't know how he could do an entire act based on food or his weight and it remain hysterical throughout, but he did it. I'll never get tired of listening to his jokes and routine. So sad he passed away but he's probably up in heaven making everyone laugh for all eternity.

[@cindydevine118]

Best comedian ever. Miss ya John. Thanks for all the laughs.

It's 10th May 2024, only stumbled on to John and his work at the beginning of the year. This 71 yo now has to listen/watch at least one oh the episodes that YT has of him. The man was a ccomedic genius, rest easy.Big Boy 😂😢

[@forearthbelow]

* every day,

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Reading all the comments is a great pleasure. Very upbeat outlook, good to see that these days. tHank you all!

[@willythehero88]

I got to see him in the early 90s at Nova Southeastern University in Davie, FL with my brother & his wife while he pursued his Masters degree there. Before then, I had listened to just a bit of his material as I began attending shows at comedy clubs. From that day on, John's comical demeanor stuck with me and now I can't get enough of him on Pandora & KZbin. RIP

[@stevesmall4993]

The guy was a legend I love his stand up shows R.I.P JOHN

[@frankpinmtl]

Saw him at Just For Laughs, back in the day; "You can eat all the salad you want. Salad? Salad isn't a food, it's nothing. You buy a steak and they give you a salad for free. Salad is a promissory note, that food is coming..." Classic. RIP

[@lesliea.6440]

Love John he always knew how to make everyone in my family laugh or say what everyone would never say out loud. Miss you Mr.Pinette

[@sueknoll8567]

So nice to watch someone that doesn't make your skin crawl with his language and content of his comedy.

[@tigressnsnow]

Jon died in 2014 of natural causes, as Pinette suffered a pulmonary embolism and as we all suspect, Chinese buffets. He was 50. What causes pulmonary embolism? It’s when one or more arteries in the lungs become blocked by a blood clot. Most times, a pulmonary embolism is caused by blood clots that travel from the legs, or rarely, other parts of the body (deep vein thrombosis or DVT). Occurs when flying sometimes. He had a beautiful singing voice and had rhythmic dancing feet.

[@dougpeters1625]

just now re-discovering this guy. laugh out loud funny. So sorry we lost him too soon. thanks for the laughs buddy.

I agree with the OP, he is entertaining Jesus these days. Too bad you are so narrow minded, like so many folks. Expand your horizons, maybe one day you will comprehend what Jesus is and did for me and you. Until then just keep belittling that which you on purpose, I will assume, know NOTHING about.

You gotta love a big jolly fat guy who wears it well. Some people are gross being fat and are better off exercising and eating right. But guys like him you can tell god made him perfectly that way and when he smiles its contagious.

[@jadefire2817]

This made me smile, and yet broke my heart at the same time, because it was pretty much his dieting that killed him. About 15 years ago, he did a bit where he went to the doctor who told him all of his tests were fine, and the doctor joked, "This can't be right, surely!" But John *WAS* so beautiful just the way he was, and now the world is even that more grey for his absence. #Heavensgotallyoucaneat

Actually he did use the word, "shit" in a bit & also, "bitch," but he didn't depend on 'curse' words for laughs/used them non-gratuitously/to punctuate & fill out the image of the tale he was telling. I don't mind if comedians prefer to use 'colorful' (as my grandmo would say) language, but for me I've noticed, it does often feel like a smoother ride when it is absent.
