woah a John bit I havent seen before

John: "I'm a little high on dayquil" Narrator: It was not dayquil.

"I know a guy with hooks for hands" "What are three other things about him?"

“I love Jewish people!” And the chorus of voices from the future cried out, “We know!”

@5:35 “I always had a big ego. Even as a baby, I would think ‘Ooh I’m soft, and fun, and I look great.” Lmao

60% of the crowd's reaction is them saying "aw"

*gasp* a John Mulaney video I have not yet seen

i'd pay to see the pictures of young mulaney with his fake sweat holding a basketball

my GOD he is so attractive

He's such an amazing storyteller I could see every scene he was talking about LOL he's great omg

as a jewish girl from chicago who knows many people who went to Schechter, this is hilarious

okay wait i just did some investigation and i found some info on the shooting that killed the coach’s son, and now i am genuinely so so sad. turns out the coach was the one to find his son dead in the alley where the carjacking happened. it’s just so senseless and sad.

I love watching baby Mulaney. Thank you for posting this.

Seeing as John became a struggling alcoholic, that shit bites hard

SECRET JOHN STANDUP

"His mom rode a bicycle so we decided she was a lesbian". That sentence transported me back to middle school immediately.

Honestly, the point he made about not essentializing people with disabilities was pretty legit.

"that was the first time I'd ever heard, there was, an alternative." Swoosh! It's really interesting seeing a comic still in development. He's talking and you see him losing the audience and then his delivery gets flat and like he's just trying to remember the right order to say his lines in. But then something hits with the audience and his face lights up and he takes on the speech mannerisms and demeanour we're more familiar with

Wow! The detailed version of the bit I've heard probably 20 times. It got really personal and autobiographical. I wonder why he cut the bit about his coach's first words after his son dying.

You can so easily see flashes of the greatness we were all about to experience. John is amazing.

Dude is such a great storyteller. Epic bit lol

the best part is that Nick Kroll went to Solomon Schechter (the one in Westchester but same thing)

6:34 - When the friend you invited to your standup show gives you a big laugh and is also Pete Holmes.

10:16 - and now he's married to one, so I guess he's living his dreams

Saw him last night in Poughkeepsie. He killed it. All focus on his rehab stint. Very well done. Will be polished for a nf special soon I guess. Stay healthy JM!

I was half listening to this while working and the laugh at 18:41 that sounds like she was doing back up vocals in the B-52s Rock Lobster totally threw me.

The Catholic grade school basketball stories are so relatable and true, down to the weird friend of the coach who just hung out at practices. I played in games in the last 2 minutes of the fourth quarter if we were up by 20. Bench warmers unite! Thanks for the laughs, John.

COMEDY'S GOLDEN BOY! Get well John. We need you.

guy at 6:33 is a real one

Two things: 1. This is brilliant. 2. Who's laughing at John now? EVERYONE CUZ HE'S HILARIOUS.

There’s an alternative reality where John Mulany practiced and got really really good at basketball and became a famous nba player

You kept the bench at a reasonable temperature, you should be proud

“My brain then had to outsource the job!” Hahaha

Seeing John Mulaney in a t-shirt is like seeing the pope in his underwear.

its like anything anyone wouldve blocked out of their youth he did the opposite and it makes for such damn good stories

"but still, he hadn't spoken"

“What country is that in blue?” In BLUE?!? That’s an ocean!

that one guy laughing rlly loudly- i appreciate his energy

Notice something very important: Early John Mulaney had lots of ums and you knows. He exorcised all of them from his speaking habits. To watch his later stuff, he speaks with absolutely no hitches whatsoever and his delivery is flawless. But it came with practice.

"My brain has to...out source the job..."🤣🤣🤣 This guy is great 👍

You could just tell he was bound for greatness.

I've been playing the same videos over and over again, thank you for uploading this nugget

Fascinating he has 21 minutes on basketball, but only used about 5 minutes of it for his special.

the shitty part is he probably started drinking around that time

The long version of the basketball bit! Wonderful

It delights me to have something in common with John Mulaney. It was volleyball and not basketball, but I too was a benchwarmer, and my team decided my number would be 13, the unlucky one, because every time I attempted to do anything serious something bad would happen. I sprained my fingers so many times. Got bloody noses and gave them to others. I was one of three usual benchwarmers and we too would be put into the game the second half of the last set (I don't know if that's the word, the matches were divided into three parts). One time we managed to catch a very difficult throw from the other team, and we were so in awe we watched the ball roll up high to ceiling (which was quite tall), and then come back down, and there was two of us supposed to catch it, and we both extended our arms (in a bagher, I don't know the word again), and the ball fell to the ground between us about half a meter distant from both, and we lost the point

It's about time this was uploaded to the tube, before I was only able to see it via a sometimes broken link on the UCB website

I hope he is doing okay in recovery. Can't wait to see him again.

Nice. He's a really good story teller.

So cool to see how his bits evolve!

He actually looks like a 12 year old throwing a fit in the thumbnail.

thought this was a bit I haven't seen before but then I realized that this is the Basketball bit from The Top Part in its early stages.

Two things: 1. My fiancée is actually a fairly direct descendant of Solomon Schechter. I’ll see about spreading the word to the family at large that the Chicago school’s basketball team has a history of being conniving shitheels and see what they can do. 2. As the fat kid who was permanently incapable of doing sports properly in school, the nickname “Tank” really hit me where I live.

10:42 "dudes ....he made me experience high tide!!" laugh

How has he looked exactly the same for 15 years

Wow!! Thank you. I can't believe that I caught something I've never seen of him in probably the worst time of my life. Such an amazing storyteller.

You're an awaeome person, @JohnMulaney. Outside and healthy or inside and working on yourself - you are loved.

"dayquil"

this is such an underrated skit I love itttttt

Yoy couldn't really hear the end of it because people were making noise but he says "that's the first time I ever heard there was an alternative to basketball so I became the best at that" (meaning doing drugs and alcohol).

This guy might airball a basketball, but he drops buckets with his bits!

UnIronically my favorite recorded routine of his

this is so solid! love this guy

could definitely see him playing John Stockton in a basketball movie

How was he this good as a kid? It's insane.

I like this better than his big specials

small bebe

INCREDIBLE. I LOVE THIS BIT

ty for uploading this! I cant believe i haven't seen !

wow what a put together set

Thanks for uploading!

Thank you for posting this!

It's weird that he said Laimbeer was on the Cavaliers. Laimbeer only played for the Cavaliers for like 1 season and John wasn't even alive then.

Love to find Mulaney I haven't seen yet

Who's the one audience member who laughs like a fish from spongebob

DayQuil? Sure...😅😅😅

Thank you for this.

lol his basketball experiences is basically my life.

This entire 21 minutes and 8 seconds is the most off the rails I've ever seen John be.

Hilarious! The first time I saw the bulls play against my 76ers was in middle school. Jordan and Barclay both scored over 50 that night. Great story! Watch out for hoops Mulaney

What a great comic. So good.

that water bottle is not filled with water

LOL I feel the pain. I also was so bad at sports and experienced many embarrassing moments growing up due to that.

Thank u for your humility funny atuff

he looks like he’s trying to convince himself that the water bottle will just turn into vodka so he can forget these memories

oh shoot! I thought he was back. Hoping Mr. Mulaney is doing well.

My family went to the same church as his family when I was young! Saint Clement's gang

this is hilarious i love mulaney

great punchline. i went deep in the paint when i got wind of the alternitive.. .

soloman shekter was where i had basketball practice as a kid

I've never seen this extended cut of this bit!

I was today years old when I learned Bill Laimbeer played for the Cavs

that was really funny. dude's got skills

Got to love the bootlegs. Comedy stores should charge to have streaming of their comics.

8:12 - no one drinks water like that. 100% that it's vodka

goat

This is giving me Arrested Development/Buster Bluth vibes!

His high basketball career sounds like my college career. 🥺

Hooks! Hooks for hands!!!!
