Giving away his special for free, such a kind and generous thing. It's very Christian of Ari

This is the most they would let me donate. Gonna venmo you the rest of this rack! Congrats on making your own special. GANG.

Never forget the 6.5 million views.

A post card from your dad written in your mom’s handwriting is my favorite joke.

Congrats getting Kanye to help promote this!

Sitting in my attic, wearing headphones, in honor of this very special Jewish holiday.

I've never been a fan of Ari shaffir, but this special was one of the best specials I've ever seen!! I mean it was so cleverly written and every joke was really thought out. Wow. I'm actually really impressed and I am now a fan of Ari shaffir!

My Dad (who also left Judaism) watched this in his final months of life and really enjoyed it. I like to rewatch this and picture him laughing. Thanks, Ari! PS - love the new travel pod.

Speaking for all the comedians. If you guys give some tips, we can keep doing these. Imagine a world with no more gatekeepers. Where the only things holding us back is the amount of money it takes to make these. I like the Edinburgh Free Fringe model of shows where we don't charge the audience for tickets. But then after the show, the comic stands outside with a bucket and people throw in their "thanks" as they file out. On great shows, I made more. On shows where I was off or tired, I made less. The adults put in more than the college kids. But even the college kids threw in a pound or two. And the people who owned houses kicked in 20s or 50s. Sometimes even 100! This model allowed everyone to take a chance on a show without financial risk, and then afterwards they gave what they woulda given had they known how good it was going to be. The amount of money I'd get in my bucket was always in direct correlation to how good a show I had put on. When I was on fire, the bucket would be overflowing with cash. When I was off the bucket would be lighter. It was fair. Well, same with these specials. If you see one you loved throw in a lot. If you see one that was so-so, throw in less. It was paid for by the guy on stage. And you're directly paying back the guy who brought you an hour (or in this case 90 minutes) of laughs. I think a fair price for an ok special is $3-7 dollars. That's a good price for something they worked on for 2 years (or in this case 5 years 6 months 11 days). And I think a fair price for something amazing is closer to $20. But obviously a lot of that comes down to your individual financial status. We're all somewhere in between those college kids and those adults who owned their own homes. And by the way, this isn't just for me. This is for all the comedians on KZfaq. They all took a chance. And they're out there with their buckets. Some of them you already walked past. But they're still out there. Go back. Go back and tip out List, and Iapalucci, and Normand, and Morrill, and all the other ones. They gave you something you loved. Return the favor. If you got money, give them what they deserved. If you don't, I get it. I was poor for a long time. A very long time. But just because you're poor doesn't mean you can't put something in the bucket. In Edinburgh, my bucket would have plenty of bills. But it would also be littered with interesting coins from around the world. With Lucy, and Mandy. With ideas on cool restaurants and bars. The equivalent here is to tell people about what you saw. Post it in your stories with links. On your other pages with links. Post about it on your main pages and then again a week later. Spread the word. Leave comments. Tell the comedian how much you liked it. Tell them about a bit or two or some jokes that really stood out. All that stuff helps too. If we're going to free comedy from these gatekeepers, we can all play a role The only reason a comic would go to network is for the reach and the money. Well, KZfaq has the most reach. And the least censorship. KZfaq has no executives coming in with their ridiculous notes on what a professional comedian should or shouldn't put into their work. Honestly, how dare they? The gall to tell a professional and talented comic what they should do on their own special. It's so disrespectful. And KZfaq has no gatekeepers. Gone are the days where a talented comedian gets told they're not famous enough, or they're too dirty, or too political, or wrongly political, or they're the wrong gender or race or age. That power is now in the hands of the comics. It's up to us to decide when we are ready to record something. That's our responsibility. And when that time comes, we gotta get a ton of money together and take a huge chance. And if you guys hold up your end of the deal, it can be at least a break even thing for us. We'll all do this if we can break even. We'll take years of work and give it away if we have a decent chance at simply breaking even. Those networks are irrelevant to good standup. That's a shame but it's true. We can change the game. We can free the art form from these dinosaur gatekeepers. Imagine no more censored comedy. Imagine every special being exactly how the comic wants it to be. Every deserving special getting made so you can watch it. We're in this together. It's a symbiotic relationship. Standup is the only art form on earth that requires an audience to exist. So let's put these out together. Crowdsourcing after the fact. Pay what you can and what you feel like you should. The way they do it in Edinburgh We. Are. In. This. Together. I'll be outside with a bucket after the show. Let's GOOOOOO!

A great example of how important every aspect of stand up is. From concept to performance, writing and working out material. This is so extremely tight, well written, and brilliantly performed. Thank you Ari

Anybody think this is one of the greatest comedy specials ever? Definitely S tier for sure. Thanks Ari!

I think this is the start of a new era of Ari’s comedy. He’s finally starting to allow himself to be a bit more vulnerable, which makes him so much more relatable. Religion aside, he’s sharing more personal stories, and I think that’s always a solid move in comedy.

Damn Ari, for an 85 year old dude you are still out there crushing it.

Releasing his new special for free on KZfaq is a ballsy move by Shaffir, and I respect it. Well done, Ari.

I was born and raised a Muslim, they thaught us to hate Zionists at school but somehow I never did hate anybody of any religion cause I simply didn't care :)) I LOVED the show and had the time of my life watching it (I think I'll probably watch it a couple more times). May we see peace all over the world, and get to live in a world that we can just share love and laughter.

Please share this on stories with a link to the special! And share on regular posts! I want everyone to see it!!!!! And donate a few shekels!

At 5.9 million views I just have to keep watching on repeat till we get ALL 6 MILLION VIEWS!!!!

Watched it twice and im back again for a 3rd, this special is gold.

Congratulations on the Grammy nomination Ari! This special is definitely worthy of the award! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This was hands down the best way to learn about Judaism. Thanks Ari

Every artist says "this is my best work" and I take it with a grain of salt, but hands down this ONE MAN SHOW is one of the best comedy specials Ive seen in years

Been watching your stuff for like 15 years, this special is awesome - congrats mate

Ari is the smartest jew ever. Most people who can't get a network or streaming service to buy their special just release it for free on youtube. but Ari, being the smart jew he is, knew he could frame this like he chose to release it on youtube for free instead of selling it to netflix for 10 million$ like Dave chappelle etc. what a smart little jew.

Putting a free comedy special where we can comment is so brave! Give this man a medal

Thanks Ari -- I watched this when it came out and couldn't believe people didn't even pay you... then I realized I was one of them! You deserve all the good stuff that comes from putting this special out for free.

Always talked shit about Ari until I heard him interview a little more. Been disappointed with standup lately and this was a breath of fresh air. Awesome set. Respect to you Ari. New fan

'imagine if i was racist but never claimed not to be' will always be a timeless classic comedy act filled to the brim with evergreen material

Ari proving that comedy done properly is indeed art of the highest calibre.

I hear Ari on lots of podcasts and generally think he’s a very funny dude. But this special is DIFFERENT. Talk about a special that is so much different than everything else that has come out in recent memory. Part storytelling, part education, all completely funny, every joke hits. Well done sir, definitely passing this along to the homies 👏🏼

How he lets insults slide off his back, this dude is a superhero.

As a Jewish person, this is one of the funniest dialogues on our people & culture I’ve heard! Love it!

Thanks Ari. That was truly awesome. My wife and I didn't intend to watch 90 minutes of comedy tonight and I didn't intend to give you any money, but here we are. Sincerely one of the best specials I've ever seen. Congrats.

I can't get over how good this special looks visually. Such a cool idea.

This special is pure brilliance

I've never sent anybody money besides family but this was one of the most classic specials I've ever seen and I know how much went into it. This was so original that I SHOULD have to pay to see it.

I saw Ari in Kansas City back in May, while he worked out his special Jew. I watch a LOT of live comedy, and when big comedians come through for their special it's always at a theatre. Instead Ari went to a comedy club near me for a quarter of what you'd normally pay to see a Comedian of his class. For an hour and a half, and 25 feet apart I got to see the best comedy show I've ever been to, and at a club no less. Thank you for coming to KC Ari.

As a Christian, some of the language was hard to hear HOWEVER, after working for Jewish dentists as a hygienist for a thousand years, I so appreciate the explanations. Finally 🤗

A friend recommended this to me and I was not disappointed! I grew up Catholic and did a few years of Religious Studies at university and this was right up my alley. Hilarious!.

No one has ever understood how I have always felt about religion until now. You nailed this so perfectly!!

This is a masterpiece

The circumcision act out always gets me. I've seen this special like 5 times now - such a good, tight set. This one goes right up there with the classics.

This is already better than 99% of the specials I've seen Edit was the number, seemed really appropriate

Thanks Ari! For making this special affordable with my $0 comedy budget

Watching for like the 9th time. This is probably the best comedy special ever. And I never liked Ari’s stand up until this.

That was hands down the funniest special I've ever seen. Havent laughed like that for ages. 😂😂😂

As someone who grew up in a very religious environment and can relate to a lot of this material from a different cultural perspective and as someone who appreciates comedy in a city that largely doesn't get it, thank you from the bottom of my heart. This material will always hold a special place to me, because of the look I got when you performed the Berlin bit in NOLA and I laughed hysterically and looked to my right to see the 50-ish year old woke couple looking at me in disgust before abruptly leaving. Getting a picture with you at the end made my night. Thanks for all your work. Until next skankfest

I have been waiting literally years to hear this special, don't think I've ever been so hyped for a comedy special!

Ari is one of the most underrated comedians , he gets props but not enough . Also guys real as a person can be to themselves . Flip phone South America check . 😂

Ari is the best..hard work pays off..this special is a master class in stand up

This was the most flawless stand up set I've seen in a while

My brain is so confused. I’ve never liked your standup, but this may be one of the best specials I’ve ever seen. Killed it man.

-- watched it again and read the notes part. This is definitely not a so-so special. I learned a lot, had a lot of laughs. I hope you make your money back and then some.

Can't believe I'm just seeing this now. Amazing special, Ari. Deepest laughs I've had in a long time. Haven't listened to the Skeptic Tank for awhile due to work constraints, but I've loved your work for ages. Hope you're getting all you want and deserve.

Ari has been holding out for years with this release, waiting on Ye bring the subject matter into the public square first :D brilliant

I'm Catholic and holy hell, this special is top notch comedy. Never seen any of Ari's comedy before. I now have a new favorite comedian.

This is a damn masterpiece. Passive Aggressive was fantastic. Been waiting along time for this, and worth every minute of the wait.

Love this from start to finish.

At only 5 mins in I was giggling me t*ts off, and now at the end I can say this has to go down as one of the greatest specials in standup history.

One of the most underrated comedians of all time imo. Congrats Ari

Holy shit, Ari. This is a hall of fame set for the ages. Some of the best work I’ve ever seen.

this special is definitely goes into my top 10 of all times. it was hilarious and INTERESTING, and this is what many comedians lack of, interesting material and stuff u didnt know before. thats why this special doesnt make u bored and its long. bravo Ari! also its free on youtube, what a gift

One of the best specials over the last 5 years!

Been waiting a long time for this, worth every penny.

Watched this on a whim and was blown away by the performance. Thanks for making it available for free, never would have come across it otherwise.

Paused the Glassman podcast to come and watch the whole thing. Loved it.

This has got to go down as one of the all time best sets from start to finish.

Hands down one of the most artful displays of stand up comedy that I've seen. He almost seemed like he was floating on stage, brimming with confidence, expert timing, quick wit with the crowd, and most of all, educational, actually.

This is the best special of the year. Never would have thought someone could top Gringo Papi. Seriously, home sick and really needed a laugh. Sent this to all two of my Jewish friends

Thank you for providing entertainment while I escape from my responsibilities. God bless you!

I Been in a mood for a long time now and it felt good to laugh like that. Thanks Ari!

This is easily one of the best specials of the year so far and certainly the funniest Ari has ever been on stage.

Amazing Special! Ari was one of the first comedian's I saw live after I started doing stand up 8 years ago. I waited until everyone else had talked to him and bought merch. I introduced myself and said I had just started stand up. He was super nice, took the time to talk to me and asked me a few questions. Then he signed the shirt I bought from him and wrote on the shirt "Stick with it," ruining a perfectly good fucking shirt! When I started I fucking sucked but I took his advice, and obsessed over comedy and last month I got to perform a short opening set in a 450 person theatre and crushed it. Thanks Ari for caring about the up and comers and shitty open micers.

I've watched this multiple times and it still kills me. I recommend this to anyone who will listen to me as one of "the best stand up specials ever".

Best comedy special of 2022! Thank you!

A complete artist, composing and performing a Masterpiece. Thank you for refusing to sell out Mr. Shaffir.

Even at times where I wasn’t laughing I found myself just completely enveloped in his stories. That was one of the best specials in the last decade

One and a half hours of really great, enjoyable, and funny stuff! The amount of effort and care that went into making this YT special is evident. Ari's appearance on 2B1C from July 2023 brought me here BTW.

This is still one of the best specials ive seen in a long time. I cant stop watching and sharing with friends. 🤘🤘🤘

I can’t remember being this engrossed in a comedy set ever! An hour and a half of perfect comedy!

As a 33 year old Jew this was great...Not only was this an amazing special, but I learned more about being a Jew during this 1.5hr special than I ever did in Sunday school, Torah Study, etc. Mazel tov, Ari! 🇮🇱🕍💎🕎

Come back to this and listen to it all the time.

This is top notch standup comedy. I can't believe he gave this away for free on youtube. Thank you Airi

I’m late to watching this but DAMN Ari you did the damn thing. Congratulations on the success of this special, well deserved.

Ari hit a grand slam with this one. 90 straight minutes of stone cold hilarious material. This special is a byproduct of mastery in the artform.

The stage set is gorgeous, Ari. God bless you for making this free

hands down the best stand up special of all time

The rib bit is hilarious, I was raised Baptist and they tried to tell us the same thing about the ribs

Dankeschön from Berlin, Germany, Ari! Loved how you stood up for Tony and love how you've been been sticking it to all the hypocrites, no matter from what political/religious camp (no pun intended). I'll work hard to make you even more of a household name in the fatherland! What could go wrong? Please come back to Berlin soon, and bring List, and Shane, and Normand and the skanks with you. Thanks again, seriously :)

Thank you for all the free content for all these years.

This guy is insanely funny

This has to be one of the best specials I've ever seen!! Magnificent timing, great punchlines, beautiful segways and no hacky material. It was absolutely perfect. Very few people will ever come close to creating a masterpiece from their life's work like this. Well done, Ari. Mad respect

Great special…and huge balls to put it out for free on YT.

What a special!!!I was blown away!Thank you Ari!

I just know him from protect our parks, i always wondered how his stand up is. This was flabbergasting. It's really rare that a comedian puts so much trust in his audience that they are intelectual capable of complex jokes. So this is thought through and put to perfection, you can see he worked on this for years. Thank you Ari !

Best Ari special ever. The acting out, the punch lines perfectly timed. Ari can go out with this one. He can chill for 4 years without another special. This one is dam near perfect.

I was at the taping of this special and this show before the pandemic, some of his best material.

This special is so good this is the only one that I come back to and watch all the time

Ari has come a long way, become a real comedian with this one

6 million! 🥳It sounded ambitious, but when you put your heart into something I guess…CONGRATULATIONS, ARI!!! Making specials “special” again!
