It makes me so sad that he is no longer with us. John was tremendously talented, and continues to make me laugh. My world is a better place because of his humor.

He was a comedy genius! No cussing, or sexual jokes and it’s full of gut wrenching laughs. Miss him! RIP Mr. Funny

I really miss him. He had a sense of humor, perfect timing, and real world events to make you laugh. Thank you John, you are missed!

The world is less without him. Much much less .. RIP. Funny guy!

The sad part is his humor I can so relate to. We really need another gem like him remind us to laugh.

I never get tired of listening to John Pinette. Sadly I never got the chance to see him live on stage. Just a few short days after I'd watched one of his videos I heard that he had passed away. R.I.P. John. You are greatly missed sir. 😢

Geez the funniest comedian I've ever heard and he didn't swear or talk about sex all the time. RIP John. You were the best.

I don’t know if johns family will see this, but I am going through a very hard time right now. I had the luck of seeing John before he left us, and it was a wonder Night. That’s why I’ve been watching him the past two days, and it’s been my only pleasure. John is always going to be missed, and I’m so glad I can watch him here to get me through this hard time. Thank you forever.

My favorite comedian. I met him in person twice. Nicest guy in the world. Hilarious as the schlock movie producer in the movie, Reckless Kelly. RIP friend. You are sorely missed. I will repair a toaster in your honor.

My wife and I watch John Pinette's shows regularly on KZfaq and always love them. He was SO talented, as a comedian and singer; and so likable. And all without vulgarity or ever using cruel comedy (he was always respectful of others). We were devastated to hear that he had passed away. In my mind, he must be counted among the greatest comedians of all time.

RIP big guy I never had the change to really see you in concert excellent humor you have

His delivery is SO good. The facial expressions, the yelling, his timing - truly a great comedian. I feel honored to have seen him when he opened for Frank Sinatra at the Greek Theatre in L.A. in 1991. He said later that it was that job - opening for Sinatra on his tour of that year, part of Sinatra's Diamond Tour - that put him on the map. That was a nice little bonus. And Sinatra was good too!

Its another day in every day of our lives. Thanks, for sharing our day! God Bless him, we miss him dearly.

Loved him! What a talent!

You are truly missed John. You were a blessing to us all.

Sheer Genius! What a tremendous talent. If I’m having a bad day I just watch John Pinette routine and in thirty seconds my mood transforms. RIP John, we miss you so....

ah damn I miss him ... it takes heart and talent to be funny without trying to shock or push the limits of decency ... i wish there was more of his material online

My favorite comedian. Hilarious. Great delivery. Clean humor. Miss him so much

Miss him and still laughing about the chinese buffet after all these years!!!!

His delivery was fantastic, I wish I could've seen his shows live before he passed. Rest in peace mr. Pinette, you are missed.

John was a comedic genius in so many ways. He is missed and can never be replaced.

I think we should have a John Pinette day. To celebrate the greatest comedian of this era.

How can 1.2K give this a thumbs down? 🤨

Had front row seats to his headliner show on a royal Caribbean cruise. Me my wife and kids laughed so hard we were coughing and crying. And I actually got to see him in the cruise ship buffet line! LOL

His best joke is about his visit to Italy. I nearly die, from a lack of oxygen from laughing so hard, every time I hear it.

One of THE funniest men to ever grace a stage

I used to see him every time he was in NY. I got his autograph on his CD.he used to be oit in the lobby before his shows talking with everyone. He was a VERY personable guy. Adter one if his shows we hung out by the bar and talked for 45 min, just him and I. He used to be an accountant! He must of had the office in stiches. He would study the areas he was going to perform at to learn about local customs, food places etc. to include in his act. He always said he wanted his routine to be family friendly. He found humor in everyday life. John, thank you for choosing the right career and sharing it with us. RIP my friend.

Such a talent.. RIP.. you made me laugh until I cried.

I remember reading an interview Mr. Pinette did where he talked about his visits to Canada and he was very kind and complimentary about us. He said he had never been treated so well and never met so many nice and kind people, he was especially impressed with the East and Quebec. You can easily see the affection the audience has for him and vice versa in this performance in Montreal.

We were fortunate enough to see John perform a couple of times at the Improv in Irvine. There was a Cheesecake Factory restaurant in the mall where the Improv is located. He was dieting but he bought cheesecake for the entire audience. He was a dear, generous, funny man. We miss him so much. Rest in Peace, dearest John. 💝💥

So sad to lose him right in his prime comedic genius. One of the greatest.

I loved this man. When he passed away it left a massive void. His talent was supermassive. I wished to God I could’ve seen him in person.

"Lighten up at the check-in!" Hilarious. Love you, John.

Great comedians are rare. He was one of the best. RIP John

John Pinette and Robin Williams were two great comedians who will be missed. Unfortunately we lost them to early I hope they rest in peace.

Wonderful, hilarious and huge heart-gone, way, too soon! Had the pleasure of meeting him about ten years ago and he expressed to me his "uncomfortable" feeling of the public. Loved him, even more. Thank you for the countless laughter you provided, John. You are sorely missed.

John was my favorite. I miss him very much. God's peace to you my friend.

John was such a great character and funny man..he has made me laugh so much..he is definitely in the top 3 of my favorites

Sometimes you have to leave home to do what you want to do and love to do. Just like The Beatles who had to go to Germany for people to realize how good they were. We in Canada thank John Pinette for coming here to share his humor with us on Just for Laughs. We in Canada miss you and will never forget you.....RIP Big Boy!

I saw him several times in Boston back in the day. I will miss him. but I guess god said to you, "you go now !!!"

He had such a infectious smile

Just watched this guy, for the 1st time. Hilarious~I didn't know he passed, until I read the comments. What a shame. He was a great comedian. :((

Loved him. Classy, funny, self-depreciating. RIP John

He's the best. Thank God for these recordings, he will always be near .

"I'm part of a rogue splinter group..." Genius

The toaster back to the toaster is the genius of his comedy

"Hiking is a walk that sucks"!!!...PRICELESS, CLASSIC JOHN PINETTE!!!..."BUT I SAY, "NAY NAY"!!!!!!!!! R I P, JOHN!!! GONE WAY 2 SOON...

Funny without being vulgar, very refreshing. Him and Jim gaffigan are the kings of clean comedy

its going to be very hard to find another comic like this man..he wasnt afraid to laugh at himself..or make fun of himself...he made everyone feel good...he would laugh along with you...

I really miss John Pinette! He was one REALLY funny dude!!! Rest in peace, John, wherever you are!

One of the best stand up comedians I ever saw. I wish I had seen him in person

Surly one of the best comedian of all time you are missed still and always will be in our hearts. RIP John Pinette. 💔😞😥😔

Love you John!!!!! You are missed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the best comedians ever.

Missing you John. So funny, you make me cry.

Miss John too...na na

I ran into him in LA. I walked over told him I loved his comedy. He was extremely gracious and kind. Had a nice conversation. Miss his comedy!

His voice mimicking and facial expressions add the icing to the cake when he gives the punch line. I laugh till I'm choking or breathless.

RIP John. I hope you and John Candy are in heaven right now trading jokes

I can relate to so many instances he talks about. Back in the day , I went thru a local Community college we had. I took the forest management course because I loved the outdoors and wanted to work with the NCFS. I worked 2 fire seasons with them for my internship. Great people. We had backpacking , canoeing and repelling trips each semester and I never missed the canoeing and repelling trips but hiking uphill carrying the gear I normally take when camping? Remember I was in my late teens and early 20's. I mistaking signed up for a backpacking trip once. Fortunately we had a substitute professor who wasn t into walking uphill ( backpacking) any more than I was, but..... the first morning , I guess so if anyone asked , he said we needed to take a short ( 5 mile) hike on a trail ( thank God). Everyone got there packs prepared. I really liked the hard core guys that packed everything they had, including their damn tents. I guess in case we got lost ( on the damn trail) they wouldn't sleep under the stars, I decided to take my chances , I m a big Chris Ladoux fan anyway. My loaded my pack with 1 extra pac of Marlboros and a piece of pac of JOB 1.5 papers. That s it. All I needed for a days hike. God Bless ChrIs Ladoux!!! RIP.

I went to Ottawa in January and nope, not touristy...paid my hotel bill in toaster currency

One of my favorite comedians of all time!

Thanks for the time you gave us.

John.... thank you for all these beautiful and cheerful moments. RIP.. 1 of your fans from Holland

He's so funny that I'm crying! He does it every time!

Still come back here to see this great man, miss this guy, God Bless Him..

One of my regrets, is I passed up a chance to go see John live at Just For Laughs in Montreal. What a mistake, he was one of the best.

"Hiking is a walk that sucks." That's right up there with Mark Twain's, "Golf is a good walk spoiled."

A comic genius... A man who can laugh at himself is a man who can truly laugh. A man who could only be copied.. Never replaced... R.I.P Thank you for the decent, clever infection called humour that you spread more easily than soft butter. Peaceful Journey...

He had great personality, a natural.

Another of these funny guys who left us too soon.

What a wonderful man. Rest In Paradise John. I bet you're making them laugh in heaven.❤

RIP John, I guess you were just too funny for this world.

Just amazing how fucking funny this guy was.

So grateful I saw him live in Montreal in 2012. I wish I could have had dinner with him.

great comedian. R.I.P

funniest guy on the planet!!!!!!!!!!! so sad i never got to see him live. everytime i watch his videos ,,, my stomach hurts from laughing!!!

We miss him 😢😢😢still one of the funniest!👍👍🙏🙏🙏

He was so funny. So sad that he is gone.

He was a great person and sooo down to earth

Why do the best have to go? I just watch what's here over and over

Our loss is heavens gain, RIP John.

He's awesome, like you enjoy him from start to the end

A truly funny man , that did not have to shock to amuse . I had the pleasure of seeing him live in Niagara Falls .

Have you ever laughed and cried at the same time? I just did. He was one of my favorites and I hate that he is gone. 😢

Three callbacks in one set is epic. Most comedians struggle with just one, and it's usually the closer.

I love all the little things he does when talking and moving ect. My favorite is the shaking hands. And how his stories connect? It's amazing

He riffed on the whole gluten-free nonsense before it was even a household thing Lmfaooo! He is sorely missed!

Saw him once One of the best I ve seen

He made us laugh and was very loved. We miss you John.

such a funny comedian and a wonderful man by all accounts,, you are sorely missed R.I.P John

I think this particular set he did was damn near perfect. The way he looped back to the family from Ottawa and the toaster warranty was genius.

Thank God I got to see John live. If you didn't then you missed one of the best comedians of all time. Thank you John for being you and making us laugh.

JOHN STILL IS THE FUNNIEST MAN GOD EVER CREATED HE HAS MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD, HE WAS AND STILL IS THE BEST RELEVER FOR STRESS, I STILL LOVE HIM, BLESS HIS WONDERFUL HEART OF GOLD. AMEN JOHN , U ROCK

I love john Pinette

Miss you much bro......RIP!

Ah. The best. Thank's for the post.

He was simply the best.

Truly a master of the art form No one today can match Johns unique style of standup

Watched that on an Air Canada flight the first time... it was night time and everybody was sleeping on the plane. Laughed so hard. Everybody on that flight hated me... they probably still are hating me...
