Comedians

Nate Bargatze explained why he believes firstborn children have it the worst. The popular funnyman has a theory about why children born first in their family have a rough go of it. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear Nates theory on firstborn children. Does the order in which you were born have a significant impact on your life? A lot of people would say yes, while just as many are likely to say no, that your choices and decisions have a much greater impact on your life than anything else. This topic has been debated for a while now, with no one able to provide a firm, definitive answer. As youve probably heard a time or two before, middle children, as its been said, are treated the worst by their parents. Some believe that middle children are most neglected and overlooked by their parents, which can lead to jealousy and self-esteem issues. Middle child syndrome describes this precise situation and treatment. Well, as it turns out, Nate does not subscribe to that view. In a clip posted on YouTube, Nate explained why he believes its actually the oldest child who gets the worst of everything. Also, it should be noted that Nate is the oldest of his siblings. We have to stick together, he said. We have it the hardest of all the children. We show up; our parents are not ready for us to be there. They dont have any money. You basically get there, youre like, I dont think I should even be here yet. But they want you to get a job and start helping out. He later explained how its the youngest child in the family who has everything given to them. The youngest, you show up, your parents are trillionaires, he said. You live in homes the oldest never even saw. Its like, Whats an upstairs? I mean, thats like a home on top of a home! Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

Jim Gaffigan on the headaches of controlling the remote will crack you up. The popular funnyman will have you doubled over with laughter as he details the struggles that come with having the remote in your possession. Watch the short, but hysterical, clip to hear Jim describe what often happens when you have the remote control. The person who has the remote control has all the power. It doesnt matter if that individual is a young child or a senior citizen; that person, regardless of age or stage in life, is calling the shots. With a few quick taps of the finger, they decide what everyone else in the room is watching. They have the ultimate say, at least for the time being, over the entertainment selection. Now, you would think most people would relish that situation. Who wouldnt want that kind of power, right? If others dont like what youve settled on, well, tough. But, as weve all heard many times, with great power comes great responsibility, or headaches. Having the remote control in ones possession is a high-pressure situation. The person with the remote has opened themselves up to a world of criticism for various reasons. In a clip posted on YouTube, Jim describes this very real, high-pressure situation that is possessing the remote control. Being in control of the remote control is a no-win situation, anyway, he said. The person youre watching with is never satisfied. He goes on to give hilarious, spot-on examples of the criticism and harsh feedback someone is likely to receive. Theyre like, Turn it up! I cant hear it, he said. Then you turn it up, and the commercial comes on. Turn it down! Whats wrong with your hearing? Im always in trouble when we watch television. If you are going to handle the remote control, just be aware that someone will likely not be happy and will be more than glad to let you know where and how youve failed. Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

John Crist had a hysterical conversation about baptism with an audience member. The unexpected moment between the popular comedian and the woman in the audience will have you rolling with laughter. Watch the short but hilarious clip to see what was said about baptism that will have you laughing long after the clip ends. Baptism is a sacred sacrament. Its a practice, an outward display of what has already happened on the inside. It signifies that the person undergoing baptism has accepted Christ into their heart and life, has turned away from their old ways and is now fully committed to following Him. Of course, its a big step in everyones faith journey and their walk with Christ. Baptism was important enough that even Jesus Christ underwent baptism. The first book of the New Testament, Matthew, records this event. Jesus asked his cousin, John the Baptist, to baptize Him in the Sea of Galilee. Of course, as we all know, John initially balked at Christs invitation, believing himself unworthy to do so, but he eventually relented and baptized Jesus. In a clip posted on YouTube, John, during one of his shows, mentioned that he had a question about this important, sacred sacrament. He asked a woman sitting near the front of the stage how old she was when she was baptized. What followed was a hysterical moment that likely no one saw coming. The woman admitted that, having grown up Catholic, she was baptized as a very young child. However, she confessed that she has since become a Christian. Of course, that comment is likely to ruffle the feathers of many Catholics, because, you know, they are Christians, too. However, that was not the funniest part of the exchange. Eventually, the womans husband got involved, and John offered them a little advice. Hye, listen, when you get up to the gate, work this story out, OK? he said. This is bad. Theres a long line of people, I dont know what happened, OK. My dad took me there, but, like, I was Catholic. Work it out. Its got to me more. Its got to be a faster story. Matthew 28:19 Go then, and make disciples of all the nations, giving them baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Greg Warrens family stories will have you cracking up. The comedian recalls some pretty hysterical experiences and situations involving his family. Watch the short but hilarious clip to hear what Greg has to say about his family, which will have you doubled over in laughter and gasping for air. Family members, as the old saying goes, cannot be picked. Sure, those considered friends can and most certainly be and are selected, but when it comes to family, we have no choice. They are given to us. We have no say in the matter. Sometimes that works in our favor, and other times it does not. We all have someone in mind, but, of course, its best if we dont say that name or names out loud. Thats one of those instances in which its better to leave things unsaid. No reason to hurt someones feelings, right? Anyway, in a clip posted on YouTube, Greg shared some wildly interesting conversations hes had with family members. He also talked about the strange things his family members do. Who knows, some of what he shares will be completely relatable, and youll be able to empathize with Gregs situation. The video begins with Greg noting that his elderly uncle has an odd and deliriously funny way of ordering at restaurants. If nothing else, it appears that Gregs uncle knows what he likes and will not be stepping outside of his comfort zone. My uncles old, Greg said. I took him to eat. You go to the restaurant, get the menu. You know how, when you get the menu, at the top of every page, theres a heading, tells you whats on that page? He orders the heading. Ill have the steak and pork. Later in the clip, Gregg added that his uncle will also order assorted beverages to drink. Greg said that his father, who is also getting up in age, has an odd hobby, and he enjoys telling others about one of his favorite pastimes. Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

Mike Goodwin explained why he and his son have to play video games in different rooms. The funnyman shared that, even though they play a game together, they still have to be separated. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear the unexpected reason for the distance between them. As all parents know all too well, children do not stay little for long. Blink, and your toddler is starting school. Do it again, and they are graduating from high school and pulling out of your driveway, about to set off on their way to college. One more time, and they are getting married and starting a family of their own. Of course, the point is that those moments and the memories we make with our children are precious. Once that time, those moments are gone, they are gone forever. At some point, likely sooner than we anticipate, well look back on those times and wish we could relive them all over again. Spend as much time as possible with your children. You will not regret it. In a clip posted on YouTube, Mike mentioned that he and his son enjoy playing video games together. However, he adds that, while he is not particularly good at it, the controllers have changed dramatically since he was a kid. When he was a kid, there were only two buttons, and now, as he hysterically added, there are 45 buttons. So, this one time, he and his son were playing, and he was down a couple of points, but he was doing all he could to even the score. But then something happened that changed the entire situation. An unexpected move from his son gave him an unfair advantage. My son takes off his sock, and Im like, Aah! Aah! Whats that smell, man? he said. Hey, man! Now, my eyes are watering. He was unable to finish the rest of the game at 100 percent. The odor was entirely too much for him. Now, Mike says that whenever they play games together, they cannot be in the same room. Proverbs 22:6 If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.

This comedian ranked all the Southern states and declared which one is the most Southern. The funnyman Matt Mitchell has ranked 14 Southern states from least to most Southern. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see which states rank where and to hear Matts hilarious reasoning behind his rankings. The United States is a large, massive country that spans from the Atlantic Ocean on the East to the Pacific Ocean on the West. The more than 300 million people who call the United States of America home live in one of the countrys handful of regions. Each region in the USA the Northeast, the Midwest, the Northwest, the Southwest, the West Coast and the South - all have their own identity and culture. Each region is different and unique in terms of weather, food, dress and even what people say and how they say it. Most people are proud of where they live in the country and will gladly tell you where they reside. But by and large, Southerners are the proudest, the most enthusiastic about where they live. In a clip posted on YouTube, Matt goes through all 14 Southern states and ranks them. Not only does he rank them, but he also gives his reasons for putting each state where he did. His comments are full of his trademark humor and wit, likely to make you literally laugh out loud and maybe even agree with him. I dont want to spoil the list or Matts rankings, but I think most people will likely agree wholeheartedly with the place he says is the most Southern. I know whenever I think of the deep South, my mind automatically thinks of this particular state, and its hard to argue that it does not deserve the top spot as the most Southern state in the United States of America. Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

A comedian explained why several popular biblical figures might have been Latino. The funnyman, Dennis Gaxiola, shared his reasoning for coming to this conclusion on the race and ethnicity of a handful of prominent people from the Bible. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear why Dennis believes some people in the Bible might have been Latino. We live in an incredibly divisive and polarizing time. Its gotten to the point where coming together, getting near universal agreement on anything, even the most mundane and meaningless thing, is impossible. People have different opinions and viewpoints, and thats completely fine. But its gotten to the point where people constantly lash out at one another with an overwhelming amount of hatred and hostility, simply for seeing a topic or subject differently. We dont have to and really shouldnt take everything so seriously. As the old saying goes, were not going to get out of this life alive. Every thought or opinion expressed that differs from how we feel and think shouldnt be taken as a personal attack. Now, race is a hot-button, hotly debated issue, and it likely always will be. In a clip posted on YouTube, Dennis found a way to bring some laughter to the topic while also incorporating the Bible. Come on, He named his Son Jess, Dennis said. That ones in the book. He didnt name Him Jeffrey. He didnt name Him Jamil. He named Him Jess. He added that the Bible is full of Latino characters, but its not always clear. Oh, theres a lot of Latinos in the Bible, he said. They dont teach this most Sundays. You got to read between the lines. Moses was very Mexican. Come on, who else gets a bunch of people across the river to the Promised Land? Thats my people. Later in the clip, he explained why he believes David, the shepherd boy and later King of Israel, may also have been Latino. King David, Mexican, he said. Only a five-foot Mexican could look at a nine-foot giant, and go, I can take him. He also said why he has a sneaking suspicion that Abraham might have been a Mexican. However, Noah, Dennis says, was not a Mexican, and his reasoning will have you doubled over in laughter. Galatians 3:28 There is no Jew or Greek, servant or free, male or female: because you are all one in Jesus Christ.

This math lesson will have you laughing and totally confused. This type of math might make sense to people in one particular part of the country, while it leaves everyone else completely and totally lost. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see a new kind of math that you have probably never heard of but will still likely have you doubled over in laughter. For some people, school was a breeze, while others struggled mightily in the classroom, with little to show for all their hard work. No matter what they did, nothing seemed to improve their GPA or strengthen their grasp of the material presented in class. Still, others may have had a subject or two that gave them constant fits and prolonged headaches. Math was the one subject that always caused me problems. Every other subject and material came to me relatively easily, without putting forth much effort. However, math was always decidedly different and was something that I quickly grew to despise. Sure, that negative attitude and outlook on mathematics probably didn't help matters, but math and I never got along very well. In a clip posted on YouTube, comedian Matt Mitchell introduces everyone to a new kind of math. Instead of algebra, geometry and trigonometry, this form is referred to as Southern math. If, by the end of Matts lesson, you are entirely lost and confused about how it functions, you are likely not alone. Things get off to a confusing start, as terms in Southern math have varying and different definitions. Nothing is set in stone when it comes to Southern math. Things are up for interpretation, which is generally not how math works. In the South, a couple can be any number between two and five, Matt says. He also defines what a few means, kind of. A few is any number six and almost a dozen, he adds. I dont think Southern math will be taught in schools any time soon. Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the start of knowledge: but the foolish have no use for wisdom and teaching.

This comedians hysterical breakdown of iconic college cheers is comedy gold. The funnyman, Greg Warren, went after some of the most recognizable, familiar cheers youll hear at college sporting events, pointing out how dumb and strange they are. Watch the short but hilarious clip to see what Greg had to say about these cheers. Many people enjoy attending and watching college sporting events. A lot of those people are incredibly rabid fans, wildly and loudly cheering on their preferred school, no matter the sport or event. Some will even, for some unknown reason, go so far as to cover themselves in paint so that they match their favorite schools colors. However, despite all the crazy and downright annoying things college fans do, can we all agree that those stadium-wide cheers, which are always done in unison, are one of the worst? Many of those cheers, while they show how much you love your school, are just incredibly dumb, and a lot of them make absolutely no sense whatsoever. As it turns out, Im not the only person who feels this way about certain popular and well-known college cheers. In a clip posted on YouTube, Greg goes after a handful of schools for their strange cheers, including the one with arguably the worst and most annoying fanbase in the country: Ohio State. I love the people of Ohio, but, you know, but the Buckeye fans, I dont, Greg said. Well, you know, theyre obnoxious. Anytime youre in a room, and you say anything about sports, half of the people go, O-H. See! See! I-O. It takes two of these idiots to spell their state. Also, other schools he calls out include Arkansas, the University of Kentucky and his alma mater, Missouri, whose cheer makes it seem like their fans have absolutely no clue as to how to spell the state. I mean, it shouldnt be that hard. Its not like Missouri is Mississippi or something. Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

Comedian Greg Warren has a habit of misplacing important documents. The funnyman cant seem to keep track of critical paperwork and information, as it always seems to go missing. Watch the short but laugh-out-loud funny clip of Greg mentioning that if its necessary and crucial for him to keep track of, hes probably already lost it. It's been said many times that information and knowledge are power. Of course, everyone knows that to mean that the more you know and learn, the better off youll be in life. And I think many people have found that this is one saying that is ultimately true. The more you know, the farther in life youre likely to go. However, the flip side of that saying is also more than likely true. The less you know and the less information you have, the more problems and troubles youre likely to endure and experience. So, what happens if you continually misplace important governmental documents, in other words, have less information than is needed? Greg is well aware of what can and does happen to someone in this position because more often than not, its him. In a clip posted on YouTube, Greg talks about the many documents he has lost throughout his life. I lose stuff, Greg confessed. If theres an important document, I dont have it. Im a constant disappointment to the DMV. Sir, do you have your social security card? I havent seen that in 30 years. Sir, its an important document. Well, then you guys shouldnt have printed it on a gum wrapper. Later in the clip, Greg recalls being asked if he had his birth certificate handy. That was the wrong question to ask him. My birth certificate? he said, bewildered and amused. That document is 54 years old. I also dont have the Declaration of Independence. Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

A comedian hilariously explained how she is becoming healthier and getting her steps in. The funnywoman Rhonda Corey shared the moves she has taken to improve her physical and mental health. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear what the comedian has done that will keep you laughing long after the video ends. Getting, being and remaining healthy is a significant goal for many people. Our physical and mental health should always be top of mind and something we should all strive to improve. And if were being completely honest with ourselves, we can all likely improve in those departments. Do we really need that second piece of cake? Is it necessary to look at Instagram and Facebook again? Will anything have changed since we last looked five minutes ago? Of course, there are real, practical steps we can take that will improve our health. They might be small moves, but with consistency and a commitment to improving ones health, they will make a difference over time. In a clip posted on YouTube, Rhonda mentioned what she has already done to get healthier, some of which may work, while others may not. She commented on her diet and how she has improved it, or at least thought about doing that anyway. Im trying to get healthy, she said. Like, I cut back on my sweets yesterday, this morning. I only had half of a Twinkie. Twice. I started drinking protein shakes. I found out I dont like kale, so I just substitute it with Reeses Cups. Now, exercise is always a big part of getting healthier. Getting active regularly will do wonders for your physical and mental health. Rhonda has also shared her hysterical plan for getting her daily steps in. So, my son said, Mom, Im going for a walk, she recalled. I said, Oh, honey, would you mind if I gave you my Fitbit to wear? 1 Timothy 4:8 For the training of the body is of profit for a little, but religion is of profit in every way, giving hope for the life which now is, and for that which is to come.

Anjelah Johnson-Reyes turned an audience interruption into comedy gold. The comedian did not get flustered or thrown off; instead, she incorporated the unexpected outburst into her show. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see what caused several in the audience to yell out loud and how Anjelah swiftly and hilariously responded. It's often said that breaking into the entertainment business is difficult. Why? Everyone wants to be an actor or actress, and, as evidenced by shows like American Idol and Americas Got Talent, they also want to be singers. There is so much competition, and those professions are incredibly cutthroat, with everyone vying for a limited number of spots. However, in the entertainment business, stand-up comedy has to be one of, if not the most, challenging to gain traction in or get attention. Think of all the comedians that you know, and then imagine that thousands of others did not make it. In addition to the competition, stand-up comics also have to deal with hecklers and unexpected outbursts from their audience. These can be difficult to handle for novice or less experienced comics. In a clip posted on YouTube, Anjelah encountered outbursts from her audience during her set, but instead of letting it throw her off, she went with it and responded in the most hilarious way. She came back in a fashion that had the entire audience cracking up. She was performing in Chicago and mentioned that she had recently googled the Windy City. She then read from her phone that Chicago has the third-largest building in the country, and she happened to say the official name for the structure. She was then loudly informed that that is not what people in Chicago call it. Leave it to Chicago, Youre not doing your joke right! Uh uh, thats not how you say it! she said. It says it right here, Nobody calls it that, not even Willis. Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

Jonnie W. wrote a love song for his wife, and its hysterical. The talented funnyman will have you cracking up with the love song he wrote specifically for his wife. Watch the short but hilarious clip to listen to and watch the comedian perform his laugh-out-loud love song. Love seems to be a very fertile topic for the creative types writers, filmmakers, artists and musicians. Most of their work is about or motivated by love. For instance, love is a subject that has kept singers and songwriters busy for hundreds of years. And given the number of songs released that still have to do with love in one way or another, it seems like that wont be changing any time soon. Turn on the radio, switch on Apple Music or Spotify, and the odds are good that whatever song comes on is a love song. It may not be the typical love song, the kind we are all familiar with - a man or a woman belting out lyrics about how much they miss, long for or are infatuated with someone. But love songs can take all different forms, including the comedic variety. In a clip posted on YouTube, Jonnie sings a love song that he wrote for his wife, whom he has been married to for 27 years. The song came about because his wife was a tad upset with him. Throughout his career, Jonnie has written several very funny, laugh-out-loud parody songs. His wife wanted to know where one was for her. Was he ever going to write her one, she wondered, and complained to him. His tune, while technically still a love song, is not one like When a Man Loves a Woman or Cant Help Falling in Love. No, its pretty different from those, but it is in the same vein as his other parody songs. He is a stand-up comedian after all. Genesis 2:24 For this cause will a man go away from his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they will be one flesh.

Tim Hawkins mentioned how marriage is very similar to the stock market. The popular funnyman shared his hilarious yet insightful perspective on how marriage works. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear Tim compare a marriage to the stock market. As anyone who is or has ever been married will say, a marriage is not always easy or something to be entered into lightly. A marriage is a relationship between flawed people with different thoughts and opinions on various topics. This will lead to friction and even heated disagreements and arguments. It's for that reason that hard work, persistence and perseverance must be present from both individuals. If any of those are lacking from either party, that marriage is likely doomed to fail. A marriage also requires constant attention and care. Its not something that gets a little bit of love and care this week, none the next week, and some the week after. Thats a recipe for disaster. In a clip posted on social media, Tim, in a hilarious bit about marriage, notes that there are noticeable similarities between marriage and the stock market in New York City. While this at first might sound odd, he explains what he means in such an intelligent and funny way that youll find yourself nodding along as you're also laughing deliriously. See, marriage is not like, you know, you can give your wife flowers, and shes good for three months, Tim said. It doesnt work that way. Marriage is like the stock market, man. Youre checking it every day. Oh, that dipped. What happened there? Must have been when I left the sock in the fridge. Thats probably what happened there. Thats probably the reason that happened. Later in the clip, Tim recalls taking his wife out to dinner one evening. Instead of a fun time spent reconnecting, there was obvious tension in the air, which Tim admits was his fault. He caused it, saying that he must do better next time. It began, he says on their way to dinner, with him asking his wife what she wanted to eat. As any married person will tell you, this is a conversation that will always end in an argument. She will say she doesnt care and wants him to decide. He does, as she commanded, and she will then shoot every one of his suggestions down. Genesis 2:24 For this cause will a man go away from his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they will be one flesh.

Jeff Allen responded hysterically to his homeowners associations strict rules. The popular comedian admitted he had several run-ins with his HOA, and he finally found the perfect way to get back at the meddling, intrusive organization. Watch the short but hilarious clip to hear what Jeff was cited for, and also how he found a way to respond to all their constant and excessive complaints. Even though housing prices continue to skyrocket across the country, most people still dream of buying a house of their own someday. Home ownership is, or at least it used to be, part of the American dream. Sadly, given the ever-increasing prices of even a modest house, it will likely remain a dream for far too many people and never become a reality. For those who are able to afford a house, potential home buyers are likely to notice one major thing about the homes they are eyeing. Its that those homes are in neighborhoods that are part of HOAs. Now, HOAs govern and control what can and cannot go on in any particular neighborhood. They also control what can and cannot be changed about houses in those neighborhoods. Now, some HOAs are stricter than others, issuing fines and citations for just about anything, while others are much more lenient. In a clip posted on YouTube, Jeff mentioned living in a neighborhood with an active HOA, one that freely issued fines for minor offenses. He wasnt a fan of his HOA and found the perfect way to get back at them before leaving the neighborhood for good. They were always writing me up, Jeff said. Garbage can lids were off. Garage door was open. My rocks, I didnt have a lawn. It was Arizona, so I had rocks, and they were messy because my kids would run through them. Your rocks are a little messy. Later in the clip, Jeff was finally moving, leaving that annoying and overbearing HOA behind for good, but he had one more thing he had to do. He went through the rocks, scattering them about, making a total and complete mess. I said, Im just setting up a meeting between Gladys and the new owners, Jeff said. Isaiah 32:18 And my people will be living in peace, in houses where there is no fear, and in quiet resting places.

This comedians take on the challenge of naming children will have you cracking up. The funnyman Dan Viola understands that giving children the correct name is extremely important. Watch the short but laugh-out-loud funny clip to hear how and why Dan got so serious when it came to naming his children. Children are a literal gift from the good Lord above. Once those little bundles of joy enter your life and come into your home, your life will be changed forever in every way imaginable. Of course, all those immediate changes will only be for the best. Your life will dramatically change, but it will be so much better. Now, parenting is a significant and challenging task. Raising children is, without a doubt, the most difficult thing a human being can ever do. Anyone who says otherwise isnt a parent. As a parent, there will be great, fantastic, uplifting and encouraging moments, but there will also be challenging and heartbreaking instances. In a clip posted on YouTube, Dan mentioned one of those challenging parenting moments that occur soon after that little one enters the world: choosing their name. A lot is riding on that name its literally what they will be called for the rest of their lives. I have also developed, over time, the utmost respect and awe and love for my wife for birthing basically a litter, Dan said. Just separated by many years. Oh, shes good at it. You know what shes not good at? Naming them. Dan says that when his youngest daughter was born, his wife suggested naming her Cecilia. Dan wasnt on board with that name at all. I said, You cant name her that, he said. Whats going to happen to this poor girl on the first day of classes every year of school? The teachers going to go down the list and say, Cecilia, youre breaking my heart. Youre shaking my confidence daily. Soon after, Dan revealed the names of his other children, who may or may not have names from equally famous tunes. Proverbs 22:1 A good name is more to be desired than great wealth, and to be respected is better than silver and gold.
