For those complaining he told these jokes before, y’all gotta understand he’s gotta do his tightest 5 minutes. You don’t go on national tv and test out new material. You do your best material. We live in a era where you have to put your material on youtube for exposure and growth. So just enjoy the come up. Shout out to him. He got next.

For those people saying "he's recycling his jokes" well no sh*t Sherlock, it's called a "routine" and all comics do it. You gotta understand he has to tour to city to city and he can't be coming up with new material for every other city he visits, that'll be a career ender. Once he's done touring then he can say everyone has heard his jokes already and then he can write some new ones for his next tour. That's how comedians work.

Does anyone else feel so happy for this young fella . I mean from watching the KZbin shorts to now . Awesome 👍

[@djstarsign]

He’s got a relatable personality that’s inviting. And on top of that’s, he’s not only funny but clever. I only became a fan a few months ago, when his videos started popping up in my feed, but every clip I’ve seen of his, I always laugh. So it’s very cool to see him get this shot. I wish him the very best!

He’s the new employee teaching a newer employee…… and I feel like the regular customer who saw him on his first day on the job and am now watching him working towards being the manager……. 😢😢😂😂😂 He’s been great from the very start…. Witty, intelligent and most importantly, HILARIOUS comedy.

I literally had a conversation with my fiancée about this guy! Of course, like many of us, I found him on the shorts and thought to myself, this guy needs a big stage to get some recognition! Here he is now, much love Ralph! Viva la Raza!

His vibe is unique. Very laid back. I love it. Reminds me of Anthony Jeselnik but he is more normal lol

[@drinkingchamp5271]

Seeing this guy work his way up is insane! Congrats, man. glad to see you make big moves.

[@balltalkdeep]

I think like a lot of us I discovered him via tiktok and youtube shorts so I've heard most of these jokes before and if this is your first time watching him, I will say he's def a little nervous here cuz his delivery isn't as on point and comfortable as it has been in previous clips. However, I do believe Ralph Barbosa is going to be one of the bigger comedians of the next few years. His timing, awareness, charisma, and clever jokes are great and very well polished for someone at his stage in his career. Can't wait to see more of him in tv and film!

[@ozzieoz1]

saludos to Ralph from Mexico! Im hella glad to you see on the Fallon show bro. You make me laugh in the middle of my storm bro much love homie.
