“Is that your mother with a sword?!?”
Still so fucking good. This is probably his best special to date. If you’ve never heard of this guy or seen his comedy, watch this.
Really becoming a favorite of mine. He's hugely successful now, but check him out if you haven't already. His podcast "Pete and Sebastian Show" is hilarious, as well.
I've seen a few of Sebastian's specials but this one I somehow overlooked. This has the classic "company" bit that was the first thing I ever saw from him online. I never saw the full special though. Really hilarious stuff. I didn't know he was a Prince fan either which makes me love the guy even more now.
some of my favorite phrases from this were:
- "bread fragments"
- "there's a sword"
- "what the hell are you doing to yourself?"
and the subway bit was fucking hilarious!
maybe this is 'boomer' humor or w/e but honestly
I'm right there with him on so many things, what IS wrong
with people?! keep the line moving. people hate to hear
about times before cellphones but I wish we could go
back to that. It felt good to laugh, feels like I hardly do that
these days.
Baby Boomer humor at it's finest, by which I mean mediocre and tired.
It's the same "jokes" you hear as complaints about the world as it is today vs the wonderful days of the past. All the hits; from gauged ears and tattoos to why aren't we excited anymore when company calls, from using self check out lines at the supermarket to getting angry with bad drivers, from loud nightclubs where kids dance dirty to the inevitable commentary on the "participation trophy" generation. All delivered with a smug better-than-you wink to the older folks and delivered in a mild, almost sleepy way so as not to startle anyone.
Rounding out his set with a few stereotypes about race (complete with…
Had never heard of this guy before. Watched a couple of his specials at my friend's house. Very funny stuff.
This is still one of my favorite stand up specials. So relatable & just flat out raw. So good. He is one of the top dogs in the game right now too. All for a reason. Very fresh & his mannerisms & overall body movements heighten this even more.
This comedy special featuring my dad's favorite stand-up comedian Sebastian Maniscalco was a blast to watch with my family tonight!
I can best describe Sebastian's style of humor as a loose mix between those of Jerry Seinfeld and Jim Carrey. He uses a lot of great physical comedy and all of his material is based off of his own experiences living in the United States as the son of Italian immigrants.
There was a point near the beginning of the final third of this special where I was feeling a bit overloaded and tired of all his rapid fire jokes, but the finale did pick back up and grab my interest thanks to some of Sebastian's very best bits in…
It feels weird to give these things 5 stars but I was laughing so it was funny; 5 stars right!?
The cover and title of this were enough to put me off watching it for quite a while. There is something that smacks of desperation with it.
But it's pretty good, actually. Maniscalco isn't performing any material here that is Carlin-esque in its scope and it's mostly observational stuff but most of it is quite good with none of it really falling flat at all. The bit about teaching parents how to use the internet is as old as the internet itself but he drags some good laughs out of it, which I think has to be to his credit.
Worth checking out if you are looking for something inoffensive and not too taxing.
Also, on a complete aside, is there a stand-up comedian alive from America who doesn't have one of his or her influences on Wikipedia as 'George Carlin'?
Very good glad he lost a bit of the stereotypical Italian Pizza Cannoli accent in his new stuff. Felt forced a bit.
Occasionally relied a little too heavily on “back in my day” humour but still pretty hilarious at points
this is really aiming for that 45-55 age range bc boy did my parents love it!
(meanwhile i hated every second i was forced to watch)
It’s decent fun to hear someone complain about trivial things, and he does have professional delivery and a few decently funny jokes, but it sometimes feels like he’s straining a bit, and occasionally he dips into “old man yelling at cloud” style comedy.
So it’s passable, but not fantastic overall; just enough to get a so-so 3/5 I guess
This guy killed me so relatable with his bits on dealing with lines and the idea of keep moving
Really becoming a favorite of mine. He's hugely successful now, but check him out if you haven't already. His podcast "Pete and Sebastian Show" is hilarious, as well.
