laughter medicine laughter-is-the-best-medicine
Laughter is the best medicine, y'know, besides medicine.
funny jesus humor
I stopped and I thought, 'What would Jesus do?' So I didn't exist.
stupid thoughtful thinking
I see young people being dismissed for supposedly wanting only "stupid" and "easy" material, or that they don't have an attention span longer than three minutes. I disagree with all those statements; I just think they aren't true. I'm saying that our generation wants stuff that is substantial and challenging, as well as thoughtful and endearing. Well, I don't know if I'm doing that, but I'm trying.
funny dirty humor
All you god damn dirty Catholics can cath-o-lick my balls.
people lovely trying
My work is trying to at least define myself on my own terms, and then if other people enjoy things that's a lovely addition.
thinking generosity support
I've found nothing but support and generosity from older comics. I think comedians are a lot nicer than the stigma is, at least from my experience.
hands guy hahaha
Humour is often linked to shared experience. Like, a guy gets up and says, "Have you noticed public restrooms have really inefficient hand-dryers?" Oh my God, yes I have, hahaha, really good point, they should... fix that. It's good to know that somebody finally gets me!
comforter
When life gets you down, make a comforter!
thinking years feelings
At the time of 'Words, Words, Words,' I'm a 19-year-old getting up feeling like he's entitled to do comedy and tell you what he thinks of the world, so that's inherently a little bit ridiculous.
thinking comedian actors
I always wanted to be a comedian and actor, [...] I basically stumbled into the music medium, though. I'm OK, but that's about it. I like to think I'm good enough not to negatively affect the performance.
strong struggle thinking
The biggest danger, for me, with making yourself your act is that a lot of people with think they know you for better or worse. That's an ongoing struggle with me and it can get really trippy sometimes. I try to be strong about it and assure myself that only my close friends and family can really pass judgement on me personally, but it's impossible to not let it get to you.
bipolar bears mets
I met a bipolar bear. He laughed, cried, then wanted a threesome.
funny beautiful distance
In the distance, Bo saw a fairy. A fairy so beautiful that he felt proud of being called one in highschool.
men thinking cereal
I remember being superyoung, like nine or ten years old, and thinking, 'Man, I wonder what famous people eat for breakfast. They must have some special kind of cereal!' My mind was so warped by the idea of fame.
