Comedians

A hilarious comedian shares what its like and the challenges of growing up with a hard-to-pronounce last name. Being successful in the world of comedy takes time and effort. But there is one big way to increase your chances of success in comedy. Comedy is all about being able to relate to your audience in an authentic way. This rule applies to every comedic form, whether its a sketch comedy show like The Carol Burnett Show, Saturday Night Live or a stand-up routine. Highlighting a real part of peoples lives helps the comedian connect with the audience. It also helps if the comedian is genuinely funny and quick-witted and uses their comedy to bring to light the absurdity of a situation that everyone experiences. In all comedy, there must be some kernel of truth to it. That is precisely why a clip of Jonnie W. explaining how growing up with a hard-to-pronounce last name is so hilarious. Its because what he is describing in the clip actually happens. Kids arent the kindest to one another at times, especially if someone is born with an odd or hard-to-say last name. Children will take anything and turn it into a joke, which they will use mercilessly forever. The video starts with Jonnie W. explaining why he goes by Jonnie W. on stage instead of using his real last name. He states that people have said it wrong his entire life. His last name is Wethington. But he says the worst incident surrounding his last name happened in the third grade. His third-grade teacher was going through the roll and taking attendance when she came up to his name. Instead of saying it correctly, she said, Weigh a ton. Jonnie knew what was coming next. His peers on the playground and in the classroom would have fun with that one. But with Jonnie growing up to become a comedian, he gets the last laugh, literally. Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries and joy will come from your lips.

One hilarious comedian, Matt Mitchell, gave his side-splitting take on some of the world's biggest, most recognizable retailers: Walmart, Target, Amazon and a handful of others. Everyone needs materials to function properly in everyday life. These many different items can and do include groceries, shoes, chairs, blankets and even tiny plastic Ziploc storage bags. Of course, that is only a minuscule list of everything people need and buy on a daily basis. But to acquire those supplies and other necessities, we must venture out into the great unknown and step into a retailer that is likely to sell those items we desperately desire. At that point, we must enter places like Walmart, Target and Hobby Lobby, or visit Amazon.com. Sometimes, these shopping experiences are pleasant, while other times, those retailers leave a bad taste in our mouths. As you probably already know, going to Walmart, Target or someplace similar is not always rainbows and roses. It can be downright frustrating. Nevertheless, we are all incredibly familiar with those places, and that is why Matt's short, two-minute skit is so funny. In the clip, Matt, acting as those retailers, has a conversation between them. The topics that come up in the quick, witty and hilarious video are incredibly relatable because we have all been there and likely had a similar experience. The first and most obvious target in the clip is the limited number of open, functioning checkout lines. Everyone, whether an experienced shopper or a novice, understands this frustration. You need a few items and are in a hurry, but when you go to pay, you find out that only two of the 30 checkouts are open. Matt, as those stores, is absolutely spot-on, delivering one hilarious and witty line after another. Again, Matt's clip is so hysterical because while it's funny, there is a ton of truth in what he's saying as Walmart, Amazon, Target and Dollar General. 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 Tim Hawkins brought the laughter when retelling a hilarious story about working out with his wife. Everyone wants to go through life as healthy as possible. Who in their right mind wouldnt? Eating right and getting the proper amount of sleep every night are crucial to achieving and maintaining a healthy life. Sure, its OK to indulge in a sweet here or there, but to do so regularly will only negatively affect your health. In addition to a healthy diet and getting plenty of sleep, there is one more big thing everyone must do to be as healthy as possible: exercise. Of course, exercise can take many different forms. Its all about finding something you enjoy and committing to it regularly. One popular way of exercising is going to the gym and using the facilitys various workout equipment. Some may run on the treadmill, while others will pick up free weights and use them. Some people will even use the weight machines. Tim prefers to work out by going to the gym regularly. In a clip posted on social media, Tim recalls when his wife wanted to work out with him. He states she even asked him to be her coach and to push and help motivate her. She wanted to become better and called on him to be a leader. He says that his wife wanted him to help her start her workout routine the next day. She wanted to be pushed and to become better. Well, when the next day arrived, things didnt go exactly according to plan. So, the next day comes, Hey honey, you ready to work out? Tim asked her. Her response wasnt the most pleasant one in the world. Uh, you need to mind your own business; thats what you need to do, she told him. 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 that which is to come.

The legendary Tim Conway and Dick Van Dyke bring the laughs as clumsy and inept window repairmen in a classic skit from The Carol Burnett Show. Most people pride themselves on the quality of their work. They want to do their best and produce a quality product, especially if they are being paid for that work. Or that should be the goal anyway. In many ways, the kind and quality of work one puts out in the world is an advertisement of themselves to others. It shows others that this is the kind of work Im capable of and how much care and detail I invest into it. In that case, according to a clip posted on YouTube, Tim and Dick arent capable of much, especially when it comes to repairing windows. In the absolutely hilarious clip, Tim and Dick play two men working to replace a storefront window. Soon after arriving on the scene, they both get to work. Dick pulls out a tape measure to figure out the length needed for the new window. Tim, who plays his second in command, stands by, watches and then finds ways to injure himself with the measuring device. Once the length and width have been determined, both carefully carry out the nonexistent piece of glass. They mimic carrying the piece of glass out, stopping right in front of where the glass will live. But, of course, it is more complicated. Nothing ever is simple when Tim Conway is involved in it! The two go back and forth, breaking several pieces of nonexistent glass multiple times. In this skit, they also show why they are comedic legends. Both are continually hilarious throughout the seven-minute sketch without either saying a single word. Their acting is spot-on. Even though there is obviously no glass in the sketch, because of their actions and mannerisms, they might actually fool you into thinking there is one present. Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

The legendary Carol Burnett and Tim Conway put together a pet funeral in a hilarious skit from The Carol Burnett Show. Pets are special, and it doesnt matter whether theyre dogs, cats, rabbits, birds or snakes. They are all beloved members of the family. Soon after bringing them home, those creatures quickly find a place in our hearts and remain there forever. It gets to the point that celebrating or doing anything without them present feels weird and just plain wrong. Thats why when those creatures eventually pass away, its always a devastating and incredibly emotional situation. Even the most stoic and unemotional pet owners will shed a few tears when they lose a beloved dog or cat. They are family members and dear, loyal friends. In a clip posted on YouTube, Carol and Tim show the devastation of losing a pet and add some unexpected hilarity to the situation. Carol has just lost her beloved pet, a canary, and is, understandably, broken up about it. Tim, hoping to provide her some comfort, agrees to pay for the late birds funeral. However, things quickly get absurd after Tim agrees to foot the bill for the birds final expenses. Throughout the clip, Tim approaches the situation from a logical standpoint. But that doesnt exactly go over well, as Carol is an emotional mess. Minutes into the sketch, the audience learns that Carol is broken up about a bird she had owned for a relatively short period. Hilariously, Tim also informs viewers how the bird passed. It was a hysterical and unfortunate accident involving Carol, the bird and a vacuum cleaner. To make the situation even more absurd, the strange pet funeral home director continually and oddly inserts himself. He catches several cross-looks and sharp but witty comments from Tim. Losing a pet is never easy, but The Carol Burnett Show demonstrates that they can bring laughter to any situation. Proverbs 12:10 An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evildoers are cruel.

Hilarious comedian Jonnie W. had a ridiculously funny take on his dogs strong aversion to and hatred of wheels. God made everyone an individual with a unique personality, thoughts and opinions. The Lord is in the business of creating originals and not replicas. Now, as individuals, everyone has things they like, dislike and fear. Some of those items can and are the same, but for the most part, they will vary slightly depending on the person. As it turns out, those likes, dislikes and fears apply to the cute, furry and four-legged community members as well. Dogs, cats and other animals also have their own personalities and things that they enjoy and, at the same time, things that they strongly dislike and even hate. Every pet owner understands that each animal is different in their own way and will not react to everything in the same way. In a clip posted on YouTube, Jonnie W. mentions his dog, Toby. According to Jonnie, Toby is not the most intelligent animal to ever roam the earth. To back up his statement about Tobys lack of smarts, Jonnie states that Toby has a strong dislike of all kinds of wheels. He hates wheels, yall, Jonnie said. Any wheels of any kind, okay? He chases wheels; any spoked wheel come a whirring by the house. Jonnie mentions that Tobys hatred of wheels has led to some unfortunate but hilarious situations. Toby will run after and chase away any and every wheel. Like a bike, or a motorcycle or a wheelchair last week, Jonnie said. Thanks, Toby, appreciate it. We have to move again, thank you. Jonnie also mentioned a hilarious incident in which Toby chased away some visitors. This really happened, he said. Two Mormons came by the house on their missionary journey a few months ago. Im on the porch; Im letting him go to the bathroom. He chased them into a ditch. Im on the porch; I didnt know what to do. Like, Sorry! He is Lutheran. Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

One comedian's hysterical take and jokes about fast food will have you in stitches and doubled over in laughter. Everyone knows fast food is not the world's healthiest choice. Of course, we all know this, but we continue to frequent Wendy's, Burger King, KFC and other similar establishments. Why? Because it's convenient, and sometimes a burger and fries hit the spot. Another reason fast food is so widely consumed is likely that it's incredibly convenient. On your way home from work, it's much easier to grab dinner for the family instead of preparing a meal after you arrive home. Plus, you probably pass about 10 fast food locations on your way home anyway. Comedian Drew Dunn understands that he eats way too much fast food, and he hilariously explains why and how he knows this. He explains that he can, simply by the feel of the bag, know if McDonald's, Culver's or some other place got his order correct. Like, I eat so much fast food I can tell when they messed up my order by like the weight of it, he said. Do you know what I mean? Like, there's pickles on this. I can feel it. It's dense. Send it back. Like everyone else, Drew understands that there are better options than fast food. But because he's on the road all the time, it's convenient. He also has some other reasons why he enjoys frequenting fast-food chains. I don't go there for a good meal and quality service, he said. I go there for a mystery bag and some attitude. That's why I go. You never know what you're going to get. It's fun. He then shares how he once ordered a chicken sandwich from McDonald's without a bottom bun. As everyone would have been in that situation, Drew was utterly flabbergasted about how that could ever happen. Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

Christian comedian Tim Hawkins wants church services to resemble a football game and he has some pretty hilarious ways to do that. For the most part, all church services follow a familiar, predictable pattern. Depending on the denomination, the praise and worship team or the choir kicks things off on Sunday morning by singing a handful of songs everyone knows well. Once that portion of the service is complete, there is typically a time for announcements and the collection of tithes and offerings. Once the singing is over and the offering has been picked up, the pastor usually steps up to the pulpit and delivers the message. Most churches organize their Sunday services this way but of course, there is variation here and there. But what if churches change things up a bit? In a clip posted on Instagram, Tim suggests some possible changes to make attending a church service more like going to a football game. I think church should be like football, Tim said. Yeah, lets get there an hour early on Sunday, tailgate. You know what Im talking about! Tim also suggests a new, updated, energetic way for the praise and worship team to enter the sanctuary. Service starts, break through paper, he says. You know, the worship team breaks through paper. But Tims hysterical ideas for making church services more like a football game did not stop at tailgating in the church parking lot and a new entrance for the praise and worship team. He also had a new method for showing the pastor support after the message is given on Sunday. Pastor does a good sermon dump Gatorade on his head, he said in the clip. None of these ideas and suggestions are likely to be implemented by any church. But attendance at any church that tried these out, even for a little bit, would probably see a momentary spike in attendance on Sunday morning. Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

Christian comedian Jonnie W. sang a hilarious song parody about how he let himself put on some pounds while he has been doing comedy. Aging is a natural and, sadly, unavoidable process that happens to everyone. As much as we may fight and dread getting older, its inevitable, and there is nothing you and I can do to stop it. Time will only keep moving forward, so you might as well hop on and enjoy the ride. Now, with aging comes several things, including putting on weight. While its different for everyone, metabolism slows down as we age, which often means some extra poundage. We cant eat like we did as teenagers, when our bodies instantly burned off everything we ate. But a slowing metabolism isnt the only factor that leads to weight gain, of course. Not eating healthy and not getting the right amount of exercise also significantly impacts weight. Also, doing stand-up comedy can lead to weight gain, as Jonnie W. hilariously sings about in a clip posted on YouTube. Jonnie W. opens his show with a song that parodies Kings of Leons massive hit Use Somebody. He explains that his tune is about how much weight he allowed himself to gain while traveling around the country doing comedy. The lyrics are absolutely hysterical, including the song's opening verse. Been eating all over town Now, when I look down, cant see my feet Been a glutton, broke the button off my jeans I need to reduce my body. Later, in the second verse, he adds how eating has negatively impacted his Hide-and-Seek win-loss record. Hes become too massive and, therefore, is now too easy to find. Jonnies tune, while hilarious, makes sense, and not because hes obese or anything. Comedians often travel a lot from city to city, performing for crowds. Anyone who has done any kind of frequent traveling understands that its easy to choose the quick and easy food option rather than the healthiest. 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 hilarious comedian turned a tricky question from his wife into comedy gold. Marriage is a beautiful thing. After much thought and prayer, entering into that sacred institution with the right person will be one of the best decisions youll ever make. Marriage produces many terrific things, including children and some pretty hilarious situations, as one comedian details. However, as great as marriage is, its still a relationship between two flawed people. These two individuals may sometimes have issues communicating, which can lead to tiffs and disagreements. A husband might think his wife understands what hes saying or a point hes trying to make when she has no idea or vice versa. In a short clip posted on YouTube, comedian Wali Collins mentions a challenging and tricky question his wife likes to ask him. He admits that when she poses this often-asked question, hes never quite sure how to answer her. Women love to play a game. The game is called, Notice anything? he said. The game pops up anytime, no warning. Shell make eye contact, get in position and announce the game. Wali says that he is awful at the game and that whenever his wife asks if he notices anything, his guesses are always incorrect. He asks if its her shoes, shirt, or hairall of them are completely wrong. He even asks for a hint, which isnt helpful at all. According to Wali in the clip, the correct answer was that it was nearly his wifes birthday. I shouldve known that, he says. Yeah, thats obvious. No one relationship is perfect, including a marriage. Thats why its always good to have a sense of humor and not take yourself too seriously. Later in the clip, he also has a hysterical bit about the names some parents give their children. Also, Wali mentions that because of his buddys first name, things can become a little weird when trying to get his attention from across the street. 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 hilarious comedian was able to turn math problems into hysterical jokes successfully. Everyone has different skills, gifts, abilities and interests. Those differing skill sets and interests are very apparent in school. Some people have a terrible time with particular subjects, while others excel at them. Math is one of those subjects that people either love or hate. Some seemed to have a natural talent for numbers and were able to pick up mathematical concepts quickly, but some had massive problems with math. No matter how much work or effort they put into learning the subject, it was always a struggle. Well, math doesnt always have to lead to anger and frustration. In a clip on YouTube, one comedian, Don McMillian, showed that math can actually be pretty hilarious. Through a series of math problems that are incredibly relevant to society today, Don will have you doubling over with laughter. He uses several well-known companies, such as eBay, Facebook and Twitter, to make some extremely valid points and hysterical jokes. His logic and formulas in his jokes are easy to follow, even for those of us (me included) who might be mathematically challenged at times. Throughout the clip, Don has the audience laughing at his witty and terribly funny jokes. As every good joke does, Dons hysterical jokes all have a lot of truth to them. Everyone can easily relate and understand exactly what hes talking about and knows that, for the most part, he is 100 percent correct. Don, an engineer who loves all things numbers, said that one of his goals when getting into comedy was to make math fun. This short five-minute clip proves that Don has achieved that goal. Who wouldnt want to immediately run out, pick up a math textbook, or sign up for a math class after watching this hysterical clip? Proverbs 17: 22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

Christian comedian Tim Hawkins hilariously explains and demonstrates how men and women text differently. Communication is essential for any and every relationship. Without consistent and constant communication, a relationship will cease to exist. You cannot have a relationship without communicating with someone in some form or fashion. Thanks to technological advances, everyone can now instantly communicate with practically anybody. Cell phones have become so pervasive in society that they are basically an extension of most peoples hands. Everyone is on their phone doing something constantly. Of course, one of the many functions that our cell phones can perform is sending a text message to someone. It likely has become most peoples preferred form of communication. People are constantly texting someone about something. However, not everyone texts exactly alike, as Tim hilariously points out in a clip posted on social media. In the short clip, Tim mentions how men and women text one another differently. Tim states men are more to the point, sending only a handful of words in a text message at a time. However, women, on the other hand, prefer to write long, detailed, book-length text messages. Like when men text something, its just a couple of words, Tim said. Tim mentioned that when women text, they resemble a small, cute wild animal holding food. You look like a squirrel holding a nut, he said. With a series of hilarious and furious hand motions, Tim acted out a woman writing out a text message. You got a carriage return on your phone, he said. Sparks flying off of your palms. Tim shared a recent text exchange between his wife and himself to illustrate further his point about the differences in texting practices between men and women. His message to his wife was, Hello, my darling. How are you doing today? Her response to him was massive and incredibly detailed. She told him basically everything that had happened to her that particular day. He answered back, K. Ephesians 4:29 Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.

One comedian gave a spot-on and hilarious take on how television has changed and evolved over the years. After a long day at the office, most people like to sit down, relax and escape the stresses and worries of their day for a while. The easiest and most popular way to do this is to reach for the remote and turn on the television. TV provides escapism, allowing us to turn off our brains for a little bit while we dive into our favorite series or program. Now, thanks to the invention of streaming and on-demand platforms, we can watch our favorite programs on our schedule. But that wasnt always the case, as one hilarious video correctly points out. In the hysterical clip, Matt Mitchell plays two rolesa customer and a salespersonacross the decades. The video starts in the 1950s, when television first came onto the scene and continues all the way up until today. Like every good comedian, Matt infuses a lot of truth into his jokes about how television has changed in some ways but stayed the same in others. To help set the mood and feel for each decade, Matts wardrobe continuously and noticeably changes and the background music for each decade comes from a popular TV show at that time. At the beginning of the video, Matt is stunned when he learns that it would cost him an entire months salary to purchase a TV set. But that sting is lessened a bit when he learns hell be able to watch all three channels for free! However, as the video progresses and the decades change, Matts questions and worries become a little more familiar. He is asking questions that weve all thought about at one time or another about our television and streaming platforms. Again, this short video is 100% spot-on and absolutely hilarious! Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

Christian comedian Tim Hawkins had a hysterical response to a fans question about how much and how often he reads the Bible. Christians understand that developing and maintaining a relationship with God, the Creator of the universe, requires work on our part, just like any other relationship. Like every other relationship in life, communication is an essential aspect of having a personal relationship with the Lord. That, of course, is achieved through daily and earnest prayer. Another critical part of having a relationship with God is digging into the Bible. What better way to learn about Him than to read Gods Word? That holy text is essentially a blueprint and a guidebook for life, providing answers, examples and commands for every situation we encounter in this life. In a clip posted on social media, Tim says that he often gets some weird questions when hes out on the road. One happened when a woman asked him how frequently he reads his Bible. This lady asked me this the other day, Do you read your Bible every day? Tim said. Well, Tim provided an answer, but in the most hilarious way possible. No, I read your Bible every day, he said. I sneak in your house when youre not there, and I do devotions, and I highlight verses that dont make any sense. He then went on to create a scenario of that woman going to and opening her Bible only to discover that a random verse was highlighted, leading to much confusion. Youre like, Why did I highlight, Dont cook a goat in its own milk? What is that? Is that supposed to mean something to me? Maybe I need to pay better attention. In this short but hilarious clip, Tim again shows why he continues to be so successful and popular! Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

In a hilarious sketch from The Carol Burnett Show, the legendary Vincent Price handed cash to the comedic genius Carol Burnett. Money is a necessity in life. We all need it to survive and function. However, money can also lead to issues. Having too little of it can cause problems, but having too much of it can also cause problems. A lack of monetary income makes paying bills and for essentials nearly impossible. However, someone consumed by the love of money could lose their soul. A hilarious clip on YouTube shows how money can lead people to resort to mean, despicable and questionable ways to obtain it. The clip features two legendary figures Vincent Price and Carol Burnett. In the short sketch, Vincent plays a celebrated and arrogant author at a book signing. He meets and greets fans while basking in the praise his latest work is receiving from critics and fans alike. Seconds into the skit, Carol, who dons a Girl Scouts-type outfit, enters the bookstore. She quickly explains who she is and wants to collect money to send her troop members to camp. Hilariously, Carol, who is supposed to be playing a child, will do whatever it takes to extract money from Mr. Price. She even resorts to blackmail to help fill her tin can with dollar bills. However, Carols actions become more sinister and hysterical as the sketch continues. Right before a local television interview, Carol mentions that she has found quite the loophole in Vincents latest novel, which everyone is celebrating. To try and keep her quiet, he gives her more and more money. Carol eventually ends up doing the television interview with him. She gets him to talk about her group and how it needs donations while he takes off his watch and generously hands it to her. The skit is hilarious, but it does highlight how low some people will go to get money from others. The Bible is also extremely clear about money and how Christians should watch themselves and guard their hearts regarding money. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all evil: and some whose hearts were fixed on it have been turned away from the faith, and been wounded with unnumbered sorrows.

The Carol Burnett Show has come up with several hilarious takes on some standard commercials. No one enjoys commercials. All commercials do is seemingly interrupt our favorite television programs at the most inopportune moment. When a character has to make an important decision that will significantly alter the episode's direction and the entire series, you can bet that a commercial is only seconds away. Unfortunately, we would not have any television programming to watch without commercials. Those ads provide the budget, paying for the shows you tune in to watch weekly. So, if we didnt have those annoying and troublesome ads, we wouldnt have TV shows. While most people arent the biggest fans of commercials, we are all incredibly familiar with them. Most of the time, based on how the commercial is put together, we can likely guess what product the ad is trying to sell. In a clip posted on YouTube, The Carol Burnett Show put together a series of hilarious parodies of a whole string of commercials. While the specific products in the ads may be unfamiliar to us, the type of commercials are ones we know well. The first commercial features Harvey Korman playing chess with several people huddled around him, watching every move very closely. One of the spectators is a man noisily munching on a bag of chips. Each bite he takes gets louder and louder. Eventually, Harvey stands up, and the two men try to outdo one another. They both take loud, highly annoying and greatly exaggerated bites of the chips. Other commercials include Harvey pitching a coffee maker that makes any coffee better and faster. Given his pained and hilarious expression, his previous statement is not entirely true. Another faux commercial included in the sketch compilation shows a mother entering her surprise party and being moved to tears. The older woman is quickly handed her gift: a box of tissues. Her daughter and the other guests then promptly exit. Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.
