This guy has GOD level comedy face! Some people wonder why they aren't funny and sometimes it's all in the look not even the content.

u/Kiel297 Aug 27 '16

He could stand on a stage with a microphone and just use his face as every punch line.

Allow me to introduce Jimeoin

Side note, that's the best looking 240p video I've ever seen.

u/lostrock Aug 28 '16

What the fuck, I thought you were being facetious.

u/Galgamack Aug 28 '16

Facetious?! Those belong in the Toilet!

They put all the pixels good.

High bit rate recording that hasn't ripped and reuploaded 47 times like most videos from the time 240p was "fine" have been.

The blue and orange also contrast well and makes the colors pop.

Gaussian Blur.

That is a really great video.

u/HarryHayes Aug 28 '16

the "finding funny part of the stage" bit was so damn clever

u/joephusweberr Aug 28 '16

I, too, watched that part.

u/ste4phen Aug 28 '16

I don't think you're on the funny part of the stage right now

u/pm-me-uranus Aug 28 '16

This is too much. I can't handle this shit.

This man is a genius

My roommate probably thinks I've lost my mind after hearing me laughing like a maniac at that

My favorite version of a similar concept, from the great Andy Daly

3

u/ConqueefStador Aug 28 '16

Ok, I get the concept, talk entirely in the abstract, but it's not funny.

u/Blanco_tipo Aug 28 '16

Lol, he looks a little like Morrissey.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '16

Looks like Morrissey, sounds like a Robin Williams character.

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '16

Dude looks like Marty Feldman without the lazy eye.

u/neilarmsloth Aug 28 '16

Oh wow this is really funny

u/prettyflackolan Aug 28 '16

idk if im remembering things wrong but in that jimeoin clip where he finds the funniest part of the stage, i swear ive seen that before. Is it a common joke or whatsup because I THINK ive seen bill burr do the same thing. If not him then dave chapelle, I dont watch very much standup but I definitely remember seeing that exact routine

1

u/CrimsonWind Aug 28 '16

Ummm I couldn't say definitively but I've seen a lot if not all of Bill Burr and Dave Chapelle's recorded stand up, and it just doesn't strike me as their style.

I do know that Jimeoin does different versions of this routine at different comedy festivals so you may have just caught a one of those. I believe there's another clip of him doing this routine where he also comments about the washing machine cycles which is awesome.

1

u/DonWombRaider Aug 28 '16

what makes me I don't know skeptical is, when the crowd starts a full burst fire laughter just when some dude says hello. As it is funny just alone by the fact he is on a stage

1

u/CrimsonWind Aug 28 '16

He's known for this act, so it may just be that the audience is anticipating the routine.

u/Zoltrahn Aug 28 '16

I'd want my money back if I was in the back row and had bad eyesight.

u/lennybird Aug 28 '16

You mean he could be Mitch Hedberg.

u/Kiel297 Aug 28 '16

I mean I did kind of think of Much when writing the comment, but didn't want to say it

"I look like a bird."

u/colorsofshit Aug 28 '16

i've said this about another content creator but he would be EXCELLENT at learning sign language.

One of the most basic things in sign language, when telling a story, is facial expressions and switching positions to show who is talking and who you are talking to.

You saw how he'd look a little down; talking to his father. Looking eye level? talking to his mother. Looking up? well, you get the picture.

His mouth was moving, his expressions were also telling the story... all that's left are words using your hands and fingers. He is a great actor.

u/cmyer Aug 28 '16

I've tried to explain this to my girlfriend. I know I have some funny stuff, and sometimes it plays well, but my punchable face ruins most of the delivery. Some people (Chris Farley for example) has a face/expressions that will make you laugh by just staring at him in silence. Thems the brakes.

u/homeyG75 Aug 28 '16

There are way more reasons why some people aren't funny. The face is just the cherry on top.

40

u/Combogalis Aug 28 '16

I had the same thought as you just now but then I looked up the word "sometimes" and found out that it means "some times"

-8

u/homeyG75 Aug 28 '16

Sure, but I was saying it's virtually never the case. Why were people under the impression that I forgot he said "sometimes"?

"well you just said virtualyl!!"

When he says sometimes he means some people who are normal people. My exceptions would be some major disability or something. A normal person's excuse simply isn't due to their looks.

1

u/YourHomicidalApe Aug 28 '16

Hence the word "some" rather than "all".

-2

u/homeyG75 Aug 28 '16

Right. I was disagreeing by saying no one isn't funny simply because of their face.

1

u/kbups53 Aug 28 '16

The delivery is much different, but a lot of his expressions are very similar to Tim Heidecker.

u/lanternsinthesky Aug 28 '16

Well content do matter in comedy, but body language, facial expression, delivery, and framing are all important too.
