Dude the "Deforesstation" comback from jim, omg, jim never dissapoints with how obvious he is a legend😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@adrock1011]

I called for deforestation like 2 days ago. Dude is sitting next to one of the funniest people on the planet, and constantly interrupts him to “keep him on track”… its akin to referees giving lebron james 3 fouls in the first quarter to get him on the bench… nobody is here to see the referees

@@adrock1011 i think jim could outdo bill burr with the quickness...jim is the jay z of comedy, as in, he doesnt write shit...pure legend...hes easily top 2 or 3...but thats cuz i like to tie Louie CK and Chappelle for 1st...they are the same comic, diff races, they say what they want🙌🙌🙌

The deforestation joke was the best I've heard in 107 episodes haha

[@saar144]

I know it has been said a lot, but the deforestation joke was GOAT.

[@P.dripps92]

I love experts like this. There has been a few but seems like he knows what podcast he’s on which makes the banter more enjoyable and less awkward lol

[@druzystone118]

The deforestation joke almost killed me 🤣🤣🤣 In all seriousness though, the show would not be the same without him.

As an Aussie, "poo on a stick" to me is what I used to get for dinner. I'd ask Dad "what's for dinner" every night he would say "shit on a stick".. Anyway. Still waiting to hear Jim say "sharp" then Forrest or Kelly say "shop". Shits gonna blow your mind

Poor forest 🤣🤣

[@brenobacci]

I'm Brazilian and I like Jim a lot, so I got really disappointed of how little he knew about it. Also disappointed at Nepstad for not mentioning that there are no hippos in the Amazon, and the most amazing fact about it we just found out a few years ago: as massive as the part of the river we can see is, there's a much more massive river flowing under it, underground. We really need to protect it, and now that our president is not a nazi psycho anymore, there's a good chance we can do it.

[@matthewdavid9039]

Immediately came to the comments after the deforestation joke and without fail you all did too.

Australia's flora grows back "more lush" after burning because it's evolved to do that. The Amazon has not.

[@waycam77]

Australia has rainforests too, it's not all bushland. Rainforests take hundreds of years to develop. When rainforests lose their tall canopied trees they become vulnerable to repeat fires.

[@paulclissold1525]

But the tragedy for the amazon is the same as california and what we experienced during our holocaustic summer bloody gum trees theyre being planted everywhere. The pennybangers of the forest world.

[@ShadeChasing]

I’m glad for me and sad for you, you’re back on KZbin! I love all of you guys, Jim is “top three” on my comedian/actor list. (👍 To Forest and the kids.) *Warning* I went a bit long down below, blame the weed. I have been homeless, sleeping in my 2001 Ford Expedition, thankfully parked in a former neighbor’s driveway for almost two years, geese? Anywhoo, your show gave a broken man some joy during a very dark time, thanks. I lost my entire support system, partially due to watching Jim, because I used the forbidden word, cunt. It’s a long story, but is it podcast long? ☮️🌎😬 Timothy Joseph Sullivan, 51 years old on September 12th…somewhere in East Long Beach, California?

When will the rainforest shrink so much it's called, a wood? That will happen.

[@MattBlack6]

Last year I actually got my missus to make me a poo on a stick t-shirt ready for tour. I didn't include the words poo on a stick because I think the picture is pretty obvious, send you a photo if you want. I believe it is currently the only Jim Jefferies poo on a stick t-shirt in existence.
