[@rednax12]

Some skits from "Please Like Me" are from some of these stories xD

[@pocketsg6]

I was thinking the same!

[@rednax12]

pocketsg6 Yeah, it's a great TV show. I absolutely love it!

[@HerbOlTea]

Just switched the people around

[@leaoversteegen698]

I loooove how all the lines from PLM are things that actually happened to him

[@la397]

Lol "alternative facts" . Josh Thomas is a prophet

[@dogfat.]

I was thinking the same thing lmfao

[@inafromthenorth]

"Alternative Facts". Who knew that would actually become a thing.

[@luukbusch490]

This basically is episode 7 of season 2 of please like me where Josh goes hiking with his mother. Love it!

[@joshthomas8419]

whar

[@MarkSkater]

I went to uni with him n had classes w him haha funny part ... he would just alway go on about tellin jokes n storys n we really found it hard to get work done

[@deadinactiveacc1846]

" He's a boy and everything!" Josh you are too cute, so many haters though :/

[@JamesBond-rb1ln]

br pat ll what is your problem with gay people like seriously

[@JamesBond-rb1ln]

br pat ll My god AIDS doesn't just affect gay people and there is nothing wrong with being gay

[@JamesBond-rb1ln]

Well you are obviously not more than twelve years old.

[@SiN3mOn]

'you're a boy and everything!' teehee so cute

[@boglenight1551]

he is so hot

[@lilyrockel8590]

I love how he had his boyfriend on Please Like Me discussing this

[@brit9662]

The vegetarian date?

[@offtheleashman]

@@brit9662 yeah, that actor was/is his bf (idk what his current relationship status tbh), but he may be talking about a previous bf to him in this tho

[@brit9662]

@@offtheleashman thanks for that!

[@Tamashi88]

The bit about Hannah Gatsby was great!

[@ItsCamille735]

When I got to the episode of please like me where they went on a hike I was waiting to the sakatar(spelling?) lady to show up.

[@eleo_b]

Maya Zulf --That episode seemed to last three hours. I didn't finish it.

[@urbiorbi9246]

Wtf? Just watched the episode and I think it's the best one so far! the conversation about god sending aids to the gays was just hilarious af! And josh talking about how and when he felt angry when his mum tried to kill herself was brilliant, too.

[@123g4ever]

it was a really deep good genuine episode they have such good chemistry its almost like they are mother and son, also was expecting Sakatar lady to appear

[@uptownfrank9]

its all lines of that one episode of Please Like Me

[@andreabeitia7083]

Motte Bond I was going to say that

[@Chewbroccolii]

It's me Andrea this was prior to please like me.

[@Eight3OFour]

He put some of this in his show, awesome

[@joshthomas8419]

go

[@leaoversteegen698]

"usually I get teenage girls an theyre useless" HAHA I feel personally attacked

[@smashedpretty]

just Aussie. He grew up in Brisbane, Australia and now lives in Melbourne... :) He can't explain his accent... he copped a lot of flack for it when he first started out because he is a Brissie boy... haha

[@lykkajamin6418]

soo many scenes in please like me :D

[@coolso0oz]

"the donkey to her shrek!"

[@Julia-vc3by]

Josh Thomas talking about Alternative Facts! A visionary, ahead of his time!

[@pitakr]

oh wow he came up with "alternative facts" before it was cool

[@idklegit]

fantastic set

[@Itemtotem]

Genius! Think his older stuff might be funnier though. He is quick though with the improv "wolf whistle"

[@eleo_b]

Itemtotem --That seemed like a pretty standard stand-up comeback though. Seen that many times before.

[@Nicko808ify]

So good

[@is-yn6jf]

'you can't have alternative facts' oh god

[@user-px2ct2kd5t]

Well I'm a teenage girl from russia so i feel like extrauseless anyway I'm here to say how much I'm admired and amazed by Josh Thomas and his kinda "art" Russians love uu

[@SaiSai-rs9hf]

4 years l8r... #alternativefacts

[@orianamejer346]

hahaha omg Please Like Me has a bunvh of these jokes i love this

[@amitlal9501]

Josh Thomas u rock

[@maryrosekrouse4089]

Hey Aussies, what the heck is a sakatar? I don't think we have these here on Earth. Thanks!

[@maryrosekrouse4089]

After thinking and re-watching, I'm thinking he must have said "sucker tire," which could be the same as life savers, and would be a more fun nickname for them in my opinion!

[@Ellie-qq9zm]

Sakata an australian biscuit

[@maryrosekrouse4089]

​@@Ellie-qq9zmThanks! Looked it up. They look like something I've had before. I like those!

[@marceloecheverry3969]

This is where "Please like me" start it

[@s2rukawa]

Haha you can't have Alternative Facts @ 1.30 - hello from 2017!

[@Tylerholt15]

Aww he is so cute

[@JJtheJesika]

god he's adorable ^_^ I had to look him up after Hannah Hart's video and his accent sounds like a mix between a brooklyn and an australian accent

[@moniipond]

I love his awkwardness :)

[@ShipsRock]

what's the intro & outro music's title?

[@Christine-ee9nn]

Not a particular favourite of mine, but i found this skit funny. Some people have "over the top opinions" I think.

[@Arotled]

Does anyone know who the comedian was who was talking about deleting you tube comments?

[@helenechter5444]

ahahaha the sakatas

[@eleo_b]

Australians out there, is this a normal Australian accent? He sounds so weird, but I'm not a native English speaker and perhaps I've not heard that many Australian accents yet. His voice is really grating on me, but that's besides the point. Also: what on earth are suckatarz?! Just curious.

[@eleo_b]

lightningshark67 --Thanks. yes, I understand there are lots of accents, I just meant if this was a typical accent for a certain region, or just his own special way of talking.

[@vampi49]

i think its just the pitch of his voice

[@drabby7925]

He is Australian but a lot of his words almost sound Welsh. I think it is just the way he speaks but I have always gone on about his accent.

[@liyanam]

If you KZbin Bondi Hipsters (comedy shorts and spoof music vids), they kind of speak in a similar fashion! hahaha...even words likes "friends", Josh would pronounce as "fraaaanz". I don't think that's part of a typical aussie accent?

[@Lucy-ng7cw]

He is from Brisbane but he sounds like he is from Melbourne. Lot's of people in Melbourne speak with a sort of curl to the voice and more raised high at the end.

[@Chewbroccolii]

Hes so fucking funny

[@latamyleslie]

It would be great to have this with subtitles in spanish, I love Joshie, but aaaargggggg he talks way too fast to get the entire idea :( or the context, the joke get lost. Somebody knows where to find it with subs?

[@roltthehunter]

I am a giant skeptic .... my wife however thinks she can travel places in her sleep like out of body shit... and she "knows" ghost are real... Also she thinks voodoo and witch stuff is real..... It is hard i just tell her "i am not going too tell you what i think" because i know from the past no mater how solid my logic is she won't learn anything and just get mad at me...

[@armani_is_gucci]

What are suckitars((sp??)) or whatever??

[@ez5993]

they're Sakatas

[@MrPalindrome55]

Armani Gucci Sakata, a brand of rice biscuit, really tasty.

[@armani_is_gucci]

Oh,, thank you :)) I found it.. I might order and try some..

[@nickrwidmer]

"Jesus fucking Christ Joshua!"

[@sifcakes]

hahahaha mighty boosh?

[@HerbOlTea]

Bruh did he get together with the guy from the vegetarian restaurant

[@jamietulloch3466]

Hands up if Hannah brought you here

[@joshuacrist6652]

Seinfeld for Millennials! Brilliant!

[@Christine-ee9nn]

+Joshua Crist Don't like Seinfeld myself.

[@NekoMouser]

You can't have alternative facts...oh, you sweet summer child. If only you knew what was coming...

[@noeliasanti]

What’s a sucketar??

[@deyan289]

"You can't have alternative facts, right?" ...right?

[@nenecabelle]

Wtf is with all the haters. Don't any of these people have life's.

[@AnimalLover24561]

Theyre just jealous because he's more successful then they'll ever be, and super sweet :)

[@jaries12]

That was kind of my point.

[@adrianaherrera7202]

What is that food??? Socketas. Saccketas??

[@1Piecer]

Is it just me or he looks way older than what his real age is?

[@user-iy9yn2py4e]

He looks older and younger at the same time. 😂😂

[@omgmaddietv]

Like a 50 year old baby.

[@eleo_b]

He looks very old, but that's also because of the Trump style comb-over. When you're going bald, just own it, we can see it anyway.

[@beatnikmary]

Or get a hair transplant, like he eventually did

[@rainbowatsummit]

MobMar he's like an old child (see john mulaney)

[@kittinjokesftw]

STRAYA KIENT.

[@thomassteele5748]

The sakata force field should have been inflated to stop the biscuts being crushed. That is why chip packets are half full of air, to protect the chips from being crushed into tiny pieces.

[@DrZoonotics]

No, it's to fool customers into thinking there is more to eat in the bag than there actually is.

[@maddygullotta2551]

He uses the same material a lot.

[@maddygullotta2551]

Lol is Josh got married to his boyfriend they'd both be Josh Thomas,

[@izzydeane139]

Sakatas are like chips @zadiyya

[@jeikobdunn153]

he's cute and awkward.

[@stephenkeating1283]

what is his accent ? ... :/ i can't figure it out LOL.

[@stephaniewillow4155]

Australian

[@psammiad]

He sounds a bit Welsh to me... is it just genetic having the name Thomas?

[@Christine-ee9nn]

+psammiad Hahaha

[@jfish032]

What the hell is a suckataw?

[@aicontentgirl]

Noticed that Josh now speaks like he is a 5yr old in the Audible ads on TV . Not sure why considering he is in his late 30s . Very weird ..

[@smashedpretty]

Australian

[@trevorlange]

But, why wouldn't he take his boy friend's last name? Or even better just hyphenate the names.

[@helenechter5444]

clearly not an aussie

[@sifcakes]

nice try but you obviously already know the answer

[@MrVinceMunro]

He's really funny but please give him a brush for his hair, thank you

[@sifcakes]

try marijuana

[@imamacisaac]

It is odd to me that his show is so much funnier but uses the same jokes.

[@Christine-ee9nn]

Cynical?; Personal opinion or paid bad-publicity junkie?

[@jaries12]

We need more alternative medicine. His jokes in relation to them are not funny.

[@123g4ever]

i thought it was pretty funny

[@superDavid12341]

IS HE A BOY OR GIRL?

[@mahlstadt]

Anyone liking this is either under 23 or Josh Thomas

[@Christine-ee9nn]

+mahlstadt I'm nearly 60 __ and I disagree with you strongly!

[@fourscoreand9884]

This guys seems to drone on endlessly.

[@DrZoonotics]

Thanks for making your idiot comment short.

[@hankcuccina5260]

He is corny.

[@SoKoLDS]

I don't know if the jokes are unfunny or if his delivery is bad.

[@Buckleberry11]

I think it's the delivery. I thought the jokes were funny

[@Chewbroccolii]

I cant believe this comment made it into his new video haha

[@SoKoLDS]

Lee Kovic The struggle is real

[@ambrose1609]

+FraggingBard it's a reference to one to one of his videos or podcasts I'm pretty sure

[@LizzyCahillMusic]

he is a he-she, the sexual confuser. "is he a man? is he a woman? oh, i'm not really sure if i mind".

[@123g4ever]

its a guy

[@its_bearded_wisdom2009]

Oh look, josh makes racially based stereotypes and jokes. Wow what a surprise....

[@MrShugaray]

So bad. Want to see good stand up watch Jimmy Carr or Frankie Boyle. Can't believe this guy has made a living out of being a stand up comedian.

[@AnimalLover24561]

***** it's not fake LMFAO

[@AnimalLover24561]

***** He is australian

[@Itemtotem]

There are many great comedians. What makes a comedia great in part is being unique, a trait that Josh indubitably possesses, if for his awesome accent alone. Which, btw, I believe is a blend of UK-Wales and Aussie

[@hungv4375]

MrShugaray Watch him on ABC Q&A on the topic of mental illness. He loves to trivialise the issue to inadvertently (or deliberately) garner laughter at his pseudo-comedic abilities.

[@Lucy-ng7cw]

It's comedy up late. It's basically amatur comedy it's not going to be great. People think stand up is a skill you have or you don't but it takes practice to get to jimmy Carr or frankness Boyle

[@TheCrappyaccount]

he needs to shut up about gays

[@123g4ever]

he is gay though.............

[@oldwhippersnapper3]

Decidedly unfunny and lacking with. 'Hey, look at me - I'm swearing,'seems to be his main line.

[@Christine-ee9nn]

+oldwhippersnapper3 I was gonna click thumbs down __ but, [think about it] couldn't be bothered!
