Myq Kaplan at the Comedy Studio

[@GlenDanzig]

Myq, you are the best comedy writers I've seen in years. And you've married that with the perfect delivery for your material. You are one of maybe 15 comics I would pay to see/buy a DVD (of)/watch for an hour. You're awesome! !

[@5Y5T3N]

This has to have been one of the most influential stand up sets for me. I still reference bits of this weekly 😆

[@myqkaplan]

thank you so much for the kind words! i appreciate you!

[@5Y5T3N]

Mate, awesome work! Every chance I get I pass this vid along. If you ever come to West Aus please let me know because I would love to see your show and I don't get back to the US enough to throw money at you

[@myqkaplan]

@@5Y5T3N i will hope to get back down there when possible! loved performing in Aus, and would love to have your money thrown at me. thank you again!

@@myqkaplan You're very welcome :-)

[@reillybooks]

I heard you on the radio and think you're absolutely brilliant! I tune in to comedy radio daily to get a hit of Myq every day. I love your quick-witted humour, and will keep listening to see if you come to Ontario.

you are probably one of the most underrated comics. seriously, good job pal. keep it up, you hilarious fella.

[@myqkaplan]

a belated thank you for the kind words!

[@Tannerdrg]

You're one free few comedians I can watch, then have the drive to watch again. (In regards to individual shows.) I love in North East Ohio, and I wish I'd be able I see you Live, hopefully I get the chance soon! Intellectual comedians are always the best. Keep going strong, my friend. :)

[@myqkaplan]

[@Mitchelluppy66]

You are so funny! I watch your videos everyday because you always leave me laughing so much I can't breathe :D I wish I got jokes from you everyday :P

[@Telecat81]

Myq, you are hilarious, one of my new favorite vegetarians, just caught your show on CC (Comedy Central of course, not closed caption, I'm not blind)....lol, anyway, keep up the great work

[@myqkaplan]

a belated thank you for the kind words!

[@meJABF]

I am soooo glad you made it through I really hope you go all the way, and then do well on the show also. I had it recorded because I was working out of town all week and just got caught up PHEW glad you made it..

[@ultimateshield79]

I only caught the last few few jokes of your stand-up on Comedy Central last night, but they were great. After that I started trying to find more of your stuff on the inter-nets. Clever stuff! :)

[@NateSean]

It's a seven year-old video set but the jokes are like this perfectly preserved freeze-dried meal. The tears of my laughter rehydrated them and they were just as funny.

[@myqkaplan]

i appreciate it very much! also, i believe this set is from the year 2008.

[@NateSean]

@@myqkaplan That's even better. I'm just glad I finally remember where the "dumplings" joke came from. I had heard it once before and couldn't remember when.

[@myqkaplan]

literally, this is so appreciated!

[@CaseyRafter]

Wow. posted 10 years ago. I wonder if this was recorded then or much earlier. LOVE Myq Kaplan. Quick wit and hilarious.

[@myqkaplan]

it was recorded in 2008 as well, yes. thank you!

[@Mazlanka24]

OMG I saw your special last night on Comedy Central and it was hands down the best one on there. Your quick serious delivery is what does it I think. When I tell people funny jokes or stories I'm trying the quick delivery but I end up laughing through it. Keep up the good work, you are my new favorite comedian hahaha

[@myqkaplan]

a belated thank you for the kind words!

[@myqkaplan]

I'm 4/4 appreciative of your comment. Thanks for remembering and sharing!

[@Rikaroar]

Your delivery is really great. And I can't pin down your style of comedy as either observational, ironic, or as a play on words, which is always refreshing.

[@myqkaplan]

[@Travesty7007]

Your bumper sticker/bulldog joke gets me EVERY time. -"...and then He rested, and then He was like, whoops, bulldogs....totally spaced on those bulldogs". Haha! I just picked up your new album on itunes yesterday, and it's great. Keep up the good work.

I loved your Comedy Central show, the bus-Bible story was hilarious. However, I have to say, though I was raised Catholic my feelings of joy resonate with yours whenever I get a free book. I am a book worm and a frugal lady, so hi-5 to that joke. :)

just finished reading this youtube comment... and i thought, "damn, now i have to tell this guy how much i appreciate it." very much thanks!

[@myqkaplan]

i'm not sure i completely understand your question. (specifically the "10 dollars and then poof... derp" part of it.) feel free to clarify! as for how difficult it is to be on comedy central, it usually takes a number of years to gain experience as a comedian that will put you on their radar. if that's what you mean. thanks for asking!

saw you on conan, nice job man!! this is also very funny

Your jokes are so smart and witty, which is extremely refreshing. Best of luck to you on Last Comic Standing. If you don't win, you should join the writing staff of 30 Rock. You would be a perfect fit to make that show even more brilliant than it already is.

[@myqkaplan]

APPRECIATED! my email telling me that you wrote a comment brought me here, and i'm glad IT did. your style is similar to other nice people who have complimented me, but even more specific. sincerely, thanks very much!

Im 1/4 jewish and i just love the arguments you have against stereotypes and such things! The other day one guy said "you guys don't eat pork or shrimps? Thats weird... And i suddenly rememberd that from one of your standups and responded: "well, better than drinking the blood of your savior..."

my new favorite youtube comment! much appreciated!

[@rubtib]

Congrats on making it to the top 10 on LCS. You must have something special going on the way you made them laugh with the "Brad Pitt is in this book" joke. A while ago, upon borrowing "Sophie's Choice" the librarian asked me if it's the book from the movie and I replied "Yeah and Meryl Streep is even better in the book". All I got was a blank stare. I guess the librarian wasn't as much into books as that audience was. Anyway I'll keep tuning in to see you pull off more of that magic. Good luck!
