John Pinettes addiction to Dairy Queen

John entertains a packed audience with a story about how he deals with people who get between him and his DQ. Catch Johns live act at the All-Star Gala appearance July 16 at Massey Hall.

[@melaniesmith1313]

Just discovered him recently. His routine stands up well today. He was a great talent. May he rest in peace, making the angels chuckle along with him.

[@chrisdooley1184]

He was a special kind of guy. I met him a couple times in Philly and he was so kind and took time with his fans. There are a few of his concerts on here to enjoy thankfully 😊

[@Svender06]

He probably is doing that up there

[@problemaddict5864]

I'm a young man that grew up with all older cousins and brothers, I love the fact they showed me all things that are music, comedy and movies, horror and fantasy. We younger people have CGI but back then it was all practical for the most part, even in the early CGI days

May he be enjoying an everlasting buffet! 🤤

John is a comedy legend. Even Bill Burr said he would get nervous following him on stage.

[@BeautifulSpirit-kf5ld]

He had no idea what a genius he was. Still lived in Pennsylvania. Same manager for 30 years. Loyal as a German shepherd. Miss him terribly

[@tystin_gaming]

"So he wipes the blood from his head" This line from John always cracks me up regardless of the story. I just picture him raging and slamming the person into the ground...Dairy Queen is that important!

[@winslowwidd79]

When John asks for Dairy Queen you say, "How much sir?", with a some got damn respect! LOL! But for real though how small is your small?

John Pinette was that rare type of comedian who you could watch or listen to over and over again, until you can almost repeat the act yourself, and STILL laugh your butt off at every line. A master storyteller who enjoyed his own jokes. RIP.

Almost did ... missed the Brea CA show, was booked to Ontario (Calif) a couple days later instead. John flew back to Pittsburgh between shows... and died there. :(

[@charleschiselcarfagnochise6483]

Yes he was a true original & good human being!

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

Yes, he seems like a genuine good person.

[@michael_johnston]

My dad saw John playing Craps in Vegas and walked up to him said said “I love your work. Keep it up.” And John shook my dad’s hand and said “Thank you so much sir. It really means a lot. Would you like an autograph?” My dad said “Nay nay.” John then gave my dad a hug.

RIP

His voice, facial expressions, and delivery; perfect combination.

he was in Seinfeld finale too.

[@robertbishop5357]

Not only was he hilarious, he was clean. RIP John. You're greatly missed. God bless you and your memory.

[@Soxruleyanksdrool]

What does clean have to do with hilarious? Nothing, that's what. The two are not mutually exclusive.

[@PowerDiva]

@@Soxruleyanksdrool I don't think he was saying it was. Just pointing out that people of all ages can enjoy his comedy.

[@TheDylandProductions]

@@Soxruleyanksdrool Clean comedy is harder, because you can't use language/shock as a crutch. And it's certainly less respected.

[@Soxruleyanksdrool]

Perhaps I cast unfair judgement on others, but I often assume people who espouse "clean" comedy automatically reject "dirty" comedy. Both types of comedy can be quite funny. And "dirty" comedy can also be quite hard to get right. Just look at the bit from Eddie Murphy (Either Delirious or Raw) when he said, in so many words, that you can't just get up on stage and rattle off swear words or vulgarities. You have to put some jokes in between such words. And the actual jokes he told were very funny. I believe that the mistake people make when they hear any comic utter vulgarities is to automatically make up their mind that such a comedian is, by default, not funny. In fact, they don't listen past the "objectionable" words to even hear the actual jokes. Thus, they are casting unfair judgement and have made themselves unqualified to fairly judge how funny anyone is Carlin, Pryor, Murphy, et al were and are just as funny as Pinette, Cosby, and anyone else touted as a "clean" comedian. And, speaking of Cosby, let's not forget how he was held up as an example of wholesome, family humor. And then we find out what he has been accused of doing behind closed doors. See, there's the way man thinks things are, and then there is the way things actually are. I don't know claim to know much more than anyone else. But I pay attention and I am open to learn how things actually are. I believe that makes all the difference.

[@hapgood22]

@@Soxruleyanksdrool You're right. Some idiots think comedians automatically get a laugh if they use the F word. That's ignorant. Clean comedy. Blue comedy. It's all good.

[@yaguarete79]

I can't believe the tempo on these jokes, and how you can picture like a funny movie in your head while listening to how he tells them. That was quality comedy, much better than most (not all but most) of today's comedians. Sorry to know he passed away. May he rest in peace.

[@akent6393]

I don't mind bad words in comedy, but be FUNNY. This guy knew how to deliver comedy with his expressions, mannerisms and way he told stories and rarely ever was lewd. Miss him...he was a National Treasure! RIP!

I hope there is a Dairy Queen with no lines for you in heaven. Enjoy my friend!

[@williamsauerwein8955]

Just discovered John about 2 weeks ago. He is so funny and right on the mark about alot of things. I worked in food service for 38 years and in grocery store for15 years. He says out loud what I would say in my mind when having someone do or say those things. He was a voice for all of us in customer service. Hopefully some people learned from that. Thank you John for giving us hope. You will be well missed. Prayers and blessings to your family.

[@h.e.s.4821]

[@chukkachick1879]

I love John's stuff. He was so intelligent with that razor wit that had me screaming with laughter. He never needed to be cursing and swearing. His comedy was the high standard of "Fraser Crane" quality. The thinking man's comedian. I was very sad when he passed away. He brought so much joy with his performances. "Nay, nay..."

[@lauramalek3128]

I LOVE that you put him in Frasier Crane's standard of humor. You're absolutely spot on. Thinking man's comic, with wit and timing as his craft, no need for unneeded blue material. The occasional swear word was apropos of delivered content, not just there because it tumbled out of his mouth.

[@fjordking]

very rare today yes his comedy was very clean. Takes extra talent for clean comedy requiescat in pacem

[@petermcgill1559]

+fjordking Dirty or clean doesn't matter. Funny matters. This guy was FUNNY!

[@steveo288]

Some might not know, but John did a clean act and a late night "adult language" act. He never would string along a bunch of 4 letter words, but every now and then, he would use a few choice words. "Show Me the Buffet!" is the CD to hear his adult version. It's not really that bad.

As an employee from Dairy Queen, I have lost count of the number of times that a customer has asked me, "How big is the small, is it big?"

CSXfoamer97 as a former employee and manager of DQ I can 100% relate. Nothing better than being asked "what's in an Oreo blizzard"

[@beckymurphy4714]

I worked in McDonald's for four years. I can't tell you how often I had this conversation: "I'd like a chocolate cone." "I'm sorry, we only have vanilla." "Oh. Can I have a twist?" WHAT DID I JUST SAY!? But the worst had to be the lady who came through drive-thru and ordered a chicken wrap. "Would you like that crispy, or grilled?" "What's the difference?" !!!! "Crispy has breading on it, and grilled is naked meat that's...grilled." "Oh. Does it matter?" "I need to know which one you want so I can tell the grill team." "Grilled, I guess." "Would you like ranch, honey mustard, or barbecue?" "I don't care - pick one." Frank's Red Hot it is, then.

[@elizabetherne556]

Becky Murphy same thing occurs at DQ. I manage one. Or they order McFlurries. But i know a few of the McDonalds employees down the street. People there order blizzards. Couple of weeks ago i had a car in drive ordering food. Never mind they were creating their own menu with stuff we do not have. What’s that big board with pictures and writing in front of them right? Once they begin to do that then 100 questions starts. I’d like to really just ask what in the world they want.
