"Laughter is the second best medicine right behind medicine." I laughed so hard at that joke.

[@tristanh8754]

Bo burnham also used this joke almost exactly. I don't know that he stole it but he definitely re-used it even if it was accidental

[@angelore2213]

But the audience didn’t appreciate it as much. Shame.

[@sicariusperemo3789]

Real medicine is horrible though, a natural eating habbit instead of all the fake stuff, is the way to go. Cancer isn't a new thing, we've known that for over 5.000 years, just stay away from what's feeding it, the same crap that messes with your blood sugar, name starches of most kinds, which is the cause for all known diseases, sadly, but people think diabetes is a disease, obesity, asthma, artheritis, osteoperosis, allergies, sad to say, it ain't, it is simply about feeding your body what it needs, and not what you have available! Our ancestors didn't have any of what we are seeing today, and luckely, in most of the time, it can simply be reversed by changing lifestyle.

[@storba3860]

Healing crystals and essential oils: Am I a joke to you? Everyone: Yes.

[@Enbix]

When Seth laughs at his own joke, you know it's funny

[@wanderer410]

I like Seth because he laughs at his own jokes. You have to like your own jokes first for people to laugh at them.

[@angramainyu267]

because he always try to listen to it like he's not the one telling it... he said so when voicing the people on family guy..

[@gomugomu3701]

he is drunk that's why

[@TheTechCguy]

Why would he be Peter Griffin if he never wanted to create Family Guy in the first place almost 20 years ago?

[@higgsboson9509]

That would because he's drunk, my darling. 😂😂

[@CultofThings]

My life is a joke

[@naesamuels5131]

Seth's mom died from cancer, maybe this was a way of making the topic less sad for him

[@BlackLasher]

[@alisonschoonover9251]

❤

[@andrewbrooks9508]

Seth..... Can we BOTH be Brian and eat Mushrooms whilst Legalising Green?? Love to do that with u some time

[@cierrabrock6199]

So fucking awesome and hilarious

[@LoneRaijin88]

he wasn't drunk, he started off good but noticed the audience were either too drunk or too stupid to get his jokes so he had to laugh after each one to signal them that it was in fact a joke to laugh at or just a joke in general

[@suren1946]

(at least he was laughing at his OWN "jokes")

[@josephmaldonado1711]

I bet he makes Family Guy impressions in bed.

[@kayleightheshamelessbitch6995]

I know your comment is 6 years old, but I would love if he did!!!

[@kefahjaber6066]

Am I the only one who notices the piece of hair on his chest that doesn't belong to him.

[@cathrineleren9665]

Nope. Annoying as fuck. #ocd But I don't believe it's hair, it's more likely a loose thread from his shirt's stitching.

[@goondocksaints9597]

Kefah Jaber It's actually a part of a huuge Justin Timberlake tattoo on his chest.

[@TheBrandiElizabeth]

I think it's actually a thread from his shirt! It's that same maroon color if you look closely and when his collar shifts, it does too. I spent a good few minutes staring trying to figure it out too.

[@shouldileavesatanforraphae2395]

Kefah Jaber he has a muscular chest ....so amazing

[@sheilaschumacher3946]

No, I saw that. It drove me crazy!

[@AbsolutionMuser]

yeah, me too :-)

[@jaywhite2059]

Fucking hammered XD What a legend!

[@boogaoogagooba]

i need him idk

[@lobsterfeet]

[@MileyyyyyCyrussss101]

God he's so funny

[@shaunkby]

Close your eyes and its just Brian 😂

[@superman122491]

Lmao!

[@sallysparrow3774]

[@dannyhick100]

Someone was high...

[@HabiburRahman-xs9gb]

I think he was drunk ..bt i like that speech

[@Kurahaara86]

Come on Seth, drink AFTER the speech!

[@tsfbaf303]

LoydMongo why

[@alliecardinal1768]

Idc he’s kinda adorable

[@catherinerose926]

I love Seth.....I can't wait for Sunday, the first time I will watch the Oscar

[@AntBearPig]

this makes me think of the comedy awards south park episode, funnybot

[@sakurachannel9624]

He's laughing because he's loaded up on beer, Weed, and annoyance lol

[@TheBrandiElizabeth]

oh man that was brutal....

[@amandawyllis9826]

Ikr? I love it when he doesn't hold back LOL

[@aritro9219]

Drunk seth

[@adamterrell5442]

the first best medicine is well... I'll leave it to you to decide

[@dajed1193]

This aged well

[@jazzy9443]

The reason he was like that beacase he was drunk.as fuck and it was really late. He probably was tipsy and you know that time at night where everything is funny. I'm guessing it was that time of night. I love him though

[@nedknowseverything]

Is his joke at 2:58 an homage to Bo Burnham?

[@tristanh8754]

Actually I believe seth said it first. Not that Bo stole it but I think they just both made very similar jokes lol

[@hansflores13]

hello Ted...

[@tedkakarounas]

Charlie Sheen: "It's like he is jealous of his own creation"

[@julicoole]

That was patrice O'Neal

[@TeeHeeGiggity]

awww I really liked them as a couple :(

[@Owenwilsonsnose386]

Brian Griffin giving a speech

[@VideoSaySo]

He's not drunk, he's stoned.

[@rhinohorn1258]

Wrong he's Seth macfarlane get it fucking right

[@palefox]

I think he's both

[@angramainyu267]

he is actually both,,, drunken high....

[@ambergriff135]

+Angra Mainyu Lol he's gotta be both, seen him drunk and he doesn't laugh so much haha he's definitely stoned

[@billylilly1251]

me too . it would be a night/s or even days not to forget . A girl can dream........

[@AbsolutionMuser]

Well, I don't know about that. I'm a fan of both of them.. and I'm not denying anything, only stating what Seth wrote on his Twitter. They look cute together though. ;-)

[@dizzyheman7874]

Jokes ages like wine. Just like Norm Macdonald he laughs at his own jokes which are curated for him. His mother had cancer, to be this uncaring about something so close it is refreshing to see someone be funny without caring.

[@SomeBrownDudeGaming]

He could be superman

[@ilovefoodandmusic1]

the audience doesn't laugh enough

[@AJDavid90]

yeah I wanna see Bill Maher !

[@cinnadam]

Hey he sounds like brian griffin

[@jovitavanderpluijm5032]

Does anyone sees the blue clove😂😂😂😂

[@shouldileavesatanforraphae2395]

He's so adorable I want to hug him when he's drunk....don't ask I have weird stuff I like I just realized that Woodbury is very fitting since he's cute when drunk

Wow! I wish I were able to be this drunk and still be this funny. Not complaining. Maybe it's all an act. Dean Martin pulled that all the time.

[@andrewsmith8549]

Remember Adam West

[@rj7790]

I wish he buttoned up one more
