Think your family is messed up? Think again. Watch comedians share their most ridiculous family stories on “This Is Not Happening:” kzfaq.info/sun/PLD7nPL1U-R5pgIBSOJV-fL4uIWR-DZbfI

Its funny because the original saying is "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" implying that the family you choose is more important than the family you come from.

Blood is thicker than water Syrup is thicker than blood So pancakes are more important than family

Him : he’ll tell us about prison riots a- Me : MEXICAN GOT ON BOOTS

They seriously did kill him and told Brant that he "ran away" lol "haven't seen him or heard from him in 17 years, and he had to clean up a lot of blood? Yeah he dead man

I'm just wondering how he was able to get out of that $80,000 debt.

Just a little stoner dude who ran a subway. SO DREAMS DO COME TRUE!?

his last face expression showed how he actually feels about everything, that shit hurted

"He may have been your father, but he wasn't your daddy"

He had to pay for his own death threats... probably one of the best lines

For most of the time I couldn't tel whether this was a stand-up bit or a church testimonial

Looking at this again. It really seems like they straight killed his dad and just said he ran away

“You stole 80,000, why would you go steal 350$ from your son?” Damn.

The ironic thing is the full quote is the opposite of what it really means- "blood of the covenant is thicker than water of the womb."

"I had never killed anyone before" Damn he really murdered his dad

Isn't this like a confession to attempted murder??!! Lmao

He tried to kill his dad, hasn't seen his dad in what a decade and he quit shadow punching the cold shower. I see how this is going to turn out

MEXICANS GOT ON BOOTS

Anybody else skip the intro?

I can't help but wonder. Maybe the reason he hasn't seen or heard from his father in 17 years is because his cousin and brother actually succeeded in murdering him. Just a thought.

Check out the lady's reaction at 10:02 when he said his father stole 80k from him. LMAO

These latest TINH are getting pretty dark... I like it

Oh hon. That was so raw and awful. Just the most connecting thing. I appreciate your honesty and I wish you much better experiences in the future. You're one hell of a story teller, that's for sure.

They just told you he ran away.... He's probably dead 😂

That look of pain at 14:52. This was one of the more serious sets I've seen on this show.

Story was funny except for the fact that Wyoming doesn't exist

"I don't wanna go to college like my dad"

Who thinks the guys he owed 80k too took care of his dad for him

The ironic thing is, The phrase "Blood is thicker than water" isn't the full phrase. The full phrase is "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" which means relationships made by choice are stronger than those formed by chance.

That took an enormous amount of balls to tell that story, complete respect to you man!

Damn, $80000. I thought my dad was being shitty when he asked for $1200 for "something important". He spent the money I gave him on a pyramid scheme.

"The blood of the convenient is thicker than the water of the womb." Those who you choose to be your family is better than those you are born to. You can pick your family.

How cathartic! Glad for this series. It's like therapy for these people and it is therapeutic for us, the audience.

The longest set up to punch line you’ll ever hear. Lol

I'm sure it's awkward for the people in back having the comedian's back to them the whole time

Talk about self-snitchin' lol

Brandt's story (a real good one, btw) sounds like something Quentin Tarantino would love to put in a movie XD

I love how we have misinterpreted and screwed up the whole "Blood is thicker than water." shit!

Really liking the dark turn these have taken.

*Been COLD SHOWER SHADOWING since I saw this!*

well you kept 80 grand cash in a house full of tweakers...

Would have been way funnier if they stabbed the dad but he’s been shadowboxing in ice cold water for 15 seconds every day since he was 10 so he was able to fight em off even under shock and escape; and then he could have closed with “so make sure you guys take cold showers and shadow box for 15 seconds daily”

Damn. That was good. He's a pretty captivating story teller.

They should have just stolen the camaro

We respect how hard of a story that was to tell, and also how funny it is. Respect and love.

Wtf happen with the pro gamblers and the $80,000? That's what I want to know?

That was a sad story tbh lol it had it's funny moments but damn.

Step dad was paying for his own death threats 😂

You could see he was hurt at the end

That money probably killed his dad anyway.

that guy's laugh in the audience. oh my god.

i come back to this one every so often, i think it's one of the best.

The full saying is "Blood of the covenant is thicker than water of the womb." Relationships made by choice mean more than those we are born into. That's not to say that you can't choose to love your family, but I digress.

I feel for this guy. Notice how sad he looks at the end while putting the Mike back on it's stand. My mom has done me wrong & it's hard to reconcile with those types of feelings. It truly sux to love someone when all they deserve is to be hated.

This show's format is ideal for raw stories that have shaped these comedians' lives and outlooks. I've often found that the best and most profound anecdotes, are the ones that have involved vulnerability, brutal life experience, and ultimately conquering adversity, and have thus provided the most nuanced perspectives and humorous hindsight to share them with - case in point 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 More nightmarishly hilarious bedtime stories please 🌟

You are so brave to share this. So much love and respect from me💗💗

I need to start doing that shower stuff. Can never be too careful in these streets.

That ending left me wanting.

This man hands down is great story teller and comedian!

That is the true talent of comedians. To take such a tragic story and find some humor in it no matter how deep it hides. I wish he would have told us how he handled explaining $80,000 missing to the people you don't want to have to explain that to.

The real saying is actually " blood of the covenant is thicker than the water off the womb " but hey your Dad and most of us had no idea.

I have never, ever laughed so hard!!! And, my childhood was horrible, like yours!!! Many hugs to you, Grace

And all these stories are so freaking amazing you have got to do more of these

His Dad sounds like the character Frank from the TV series SHAMELESS

Wow. I never appreciated my emotionally absent Dad, that just worked, slept and paid the bills, so much. Way to not do meth and steal my 80 grand Pops.

Thank you for sharing this.

Awww. Thats sad. Look at his broken heart at the end. God bless you sir. Forgiveness does wonders to heal yourself. 🙏

What a story! He told it so well holy crap I'm dying!

Those that lived a good life are the sources of the nervous laughs. The belly laughs are definitely those that can relate. I couldn't stop laughing.

i got a 12 second ad about watch dogs legion and i loved it “is buying an unskipable ad rude? well i’m doing it for your own good”

Published on my birthday, one of the best stories ever.

This is just....sad

Looks like Tom hanks on the thumbthumbnail lol

This story is amazing.

I've watched a million comedy shows.. The one thing I've noticed is... They use laughter to get through their pain. I guess it's cathartic

Plot thickens: Dad owes Man that son works for; Steals money to pay off debt.

2:58 that's actually some really good advice imma start doing this.

Brants book, Free Roll, is fantastic. You MUST GET THE AUDIOBOOK!!!!! It’s my all time favorite. I’ve listened to it at least 5 times start to finish. He’s so genuine and hilarious. This guy is SOOOO underrated

The shadowboxing part!!! LMFAO This is a funny dude. I enjoyed this.

Roy Wood Junior: We all come from someone who nurtures, protects us and who teaches us Me: *Looks over at an empty space where my father is supposed to be*

This was actually such a sad story

the sheer emotional scope of this story, man

Thank you for being a comedian

"I went to real college in phoenix" said here for the first time

I’m on the toilet about to take a shower while watching this looks like I’m about to shadow box now

This is halarious and I hope to see more of his work

The best story I’ve heard on here

I LOL'D AT THE END!

Damn, that was dark. I approve.

This is one of my favorite stories

I’ve watched this so many times in the last few years, it’s so satisfying ✊

Can't say I'd try to kill my own father, but if I had one like that I'd sure as hell want to.

I low-key believe that half of these stories are just the coverup they came up with to get away with their actions!

I just saw Brandt in Sheridan Wyoming this weekend. He also came to our company Xmas party. As a fellow Wyomingite this was amazing. Plus I was in prison for 11 years so it made his stories even funnier. Amazing comedian.

I got something similar “life comes at you fast” heard it so much it’s a trigger phrase along with chainsaws and getting told to sweep the floor around a powered off rumba

This was not particularly hilarious, but this guy's storytelling technique is special.

Right at the end when he put the mic back look at his face.. he's still hurting.

What a great story well told

Love the Run the Jewels intro!!

That was sad. :( I want to give him and his brother a hug. I am so glad to know that he has an awesome stepfather tho :)
