I find that many comedians were English majors, and they say its a useless major. Yet, to be a successful comedian you gotta be a talented writer, storyteller and effective communicator which are skills English/writing degrees cultivate.

This guy is hilarious. 😂

Mike, great job. Timing, content, it's all there.

That less hire-able thing is no joke. 😅

1984 joke was the strongest

“The only thing I know about capitalism....” Brilliant

This man is a great comedian I am searching for more material right now keep us laughing we need it

Great ☺️, thank you. I was an English major.

In 2008 the country was in a recession. Unfortunately I live in Michigan which managed to upgrade its situation to a full scale depression. Since I had a class a CDL I decided to take a truck driving job. Okay maybe decided is a bit strong. It was the only job available and even that was for a small company headquartered out of state . I was eating dinner at a relatively nice truck stop when a conversation began with another driver. Drivers tend to have a wide range of backgrounds so topics vary widely. The subjects of this encounter were a little bit about the Russian revolution, followed by a long detailed discussion of George Orwell. My excuse for having a background in useless information was that I'm a very fast reader but not very good at choosing material. His excuse was much worse, he actually had a degree in literature. After a while he said something I'll never forget. "A degree in literature is a real truck driver's degree. That's because after you finish you're only qualified for two jobs. Those are teaching literature which doesn't exist or driving a truck. Of course the truck driving part only works if you already knew how to drive a truck before you entered college."

He's a hoot!! Outrageously funny from start to finish. Nothing but love ♥

I'm an English major who graduated with honors and taught English for four years. . . . Now, I train Labrador Retrievers and make more money than I did as an educator.

dude john mulaney was an English major and now hes a comedian haahsh maybe it is the doorway to comedy

Great set, Michael. Thanks for the laughs. Times are tough

This is funny because it's so true. Most of my friends were English and Sociology majors and most of them now are doing totally unrelated things. I was a hairdresser for about 30 years.

I was an English major, the only thing I know about capitalism is if I see a period the next letter should be bigger. LMAO!😆

Great stuff. I grew up thinking that grammar was an elderly relative.:-)

He’s brilliant!

That capitalism joke was absolutely brilliant!! 🤣🤣🤣 I would love to see the full special with this guy!! 👍🏻

More please!🤣🤣😂😂

1984 joke was hilarious 🤣

Totally me. I graduated with a Master of Arts degree in English and had been unemployed for two years. Now I work for a trading company and write fiction during breaks. I’m relate to that washer and dryer joke so much because I still live with my parents 😂

My son was an English major. He went to Evergreen so now he can't spell.

Should have added "Im gonna need $65 though, I ordered bread-sticks." lol

The girl laughing hysterically in the background really made the jokes funnier than they actually were. He’s still pretty good though.

He's great!

Wheres this persons full special! AMAZING!!!

Brilliant so funny thankyou for bringing laughter to us 🙏😂😂😂😂😂

Perfect!

This guy's hilarious! 😆😆😆

I are a English Major. I done good.

who are these girls in the background laughing after every sentence, i want them at my funural

The 1984 joke got me LOLOLOLOL

Dude was solid

My niece majored in Fine Art. The only job she could find was in an Art museum for $8/Hr. Fortunately she had a minor in English, so she found a job as a substitute teacher. Huh? Huh? Think about that! Huh? (JK)

This guy reminds me of Jeff Dye and at the beginning he reminds me of the Stuart skit from madtv 😂💀

I have 2 friends that are English majors. They have jobs in their professions.

Strange how English majors have to think outside the box and work harder than many STEM majors, only to get picked on the most by people that genuinely have no idea what they are talking about...

Chicago! 👍

Hilarious 🥀

“I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.” - ‭‭John‬ ‭12:46‬

Irony, 1984

Some people just aren't as smart as their degrees might indicate.

🤣🤣🤣

That was really funny and hilarious! I'm going to remember the one about capitalism

Them: English Major doesn't have Job Prospects Me: Hmm.. a stand up comedian doesnt sound that bad..

@ludwig lmfaooo

His flow lowkey reminds me of Demetri Martin.

Sigh, it's true...

i.didnt get the 1984 joke, could anybody explain that for me? thanks a lot..😮😮😮😮

2:42 “the only thing I know about capitalism is if I see a period, the next letter should be BIGGER” 😂😂😂

I'm planning to be an English major. Now I'm reconsidering my choices but I don't know which major to choose!

Write manuals for some tech company. If anyone thinks an English degree is more marketable than that, sorry.

The only thing I know about capitalism is that If I see a period the next letter has to be a capital 😂

This hot

Spoken like a true Liberal Arts Major.

the capitalism joke sent me

English majors? He just described millennials in general.

Cv1984

Teach English. One can teach ESL in foreign nations.

This was not funny at all. I did not even smile in the least bit. I know other people found this funny, and that's fine, but ut just seemed really forced to me. Comedy has changed a lot since I was I was little, I guess. Check out Tim Hawkins' shows (even those from 10 to 20 years ago). They were much funnier.

Not funny at all
